The most anticipated lipstick of the year…

The Beauty Branch - Rihanna Hearts MAC Riri Woo Lipstick

Rihanna Hearts MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick sold out in 3 hours!!! I seriously had 3 different internet browers open and waited for 20-25 minutes as the website was trying to find me a lipstick.

RiRi Woo is described by MAC as a vivid cool red with a retro matte finish that is inspired by the classic shade, Ruby Woo [Rihanna's fave]. Since this was a matte lipstick, I applied it with a lip brush and did not experience any pulling or tugging on my lips. The formula went on smoothly with no problems. Its very pigmented and long lasting. I wore it for 5-6 hours without any touch ups  which included sipping on coffee and talking for an hour to my clients about the services that are offered at the agency I work for. It is very similar to Ruby Woo just a bit darker though.

Tried It: Lime & Mint Water

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Sabrina

One thing that I’ve been seeing all over the interwebs is Lime & Mint Water. There are so many benefits to drinking naturally flavored water. You only need a few ingredients and it makes it easier to drink your daily 8 glasses of water.

I used a few springs of fresh mint and slices of lime. I  let it infuse overnight and sipped on this refreshing drank at work. I was surprised at how good it tasted. I quickly finished this delicious drink. Tomorrow I’ll either bring another jar of this delicious goodness or extra lime and mint to work. I also plan on using other fruits like cucumbers, oranges and strawberries.

Mint is great for your digestive system, can treat IBS, cleanse your stomach and clear up any acne, helps freshen your breath, cleans your blood, whitens teeth, helps in eliminating toxins from your body, and it helps keep you cool during the hot summer months. Plus, it smells great.

Lime has Vitamin C which is good for skin, aids in digestion, boosts your immune system, great detox for the body, good for your heart, reduces blood pressure and helps with weight loss.
