MAC seemed to have had a ton of celebrity collaborations and the Dita Von Teese partnership definitely received a lot of buzz. Well known for her burlesque work, Dita Von Teese has teamed up with MAC for a special
Von Teese Lipstick ($21.50 CAD) to celebrate the release of her Your Beauty Mark book. To see some swatches of this "vivid tomato red", click........

Packaging:
The Von Teese Lipstick comes in a gorgeous shiny black tube that feels a lot sleeker than the classic MAC Lipstick packaging. The tube is embossed with "Von Teese" in red and the lipstick bullet itself is also etched with the same letterings.

Formulation:
Despite the lacquer-like finish of Dita's lips in the ad promos, the Von Teese Lipstick is actually fairly matte. The red is a nice and bright with a slight pink undertone; it's a really flattering and pretty color but not the most unique red I've seen. With that said, the formulation is just perfect; it's pigmented, rich, and creamy. Although this is a matte, the lipstick isn't too drying or uncomfortable and the wear is fabulous as well!
