MAC Rocker Matte Lipstick

             I picked this gorgeous red lipstick recently, it was one of the lipsticks voted on by customers in the MAC by Request collection that debuted last month. Rocker is described as dark brown/red but on me it comes across as a deep, vampy red. Rocker has a matte finish which is a bit drying for my taste but overall the formula was nice because of the staying power. After applying I blotted my lips and that sealed the color nicely . I did notice very tiny pieces of glitter on my lips after applying Rocker so it isn't fully matte I guess. You can see it in the close up lip picture below.  My fabulous friend picked this up for me and we did a trade for some custom sewing items. Retail price for Rocker was $15. I really like this color but I still feel uncomfortable wearing dark colors like this. I am glad to have it in my collection though!

                 I almost got caught up in the frenzy that is Moxie and Candy Yum Yum but decided not to get them because bright lip colors do not look good on me at all. Did you pick up anything from the MAC By Request collection? What did you think?
