MAC 'Hautecore Friday' : Black Friday Limited Edition Lipstick

I don't know about you, but as soon as I  hear "black lipstick," I think of a witch on Halloween Eve, prepping her broomstick for a spooky night.

I get the pun of having black lipstick available for purchase on Black Friday, but is this real?!

MAC's 2013 Black Friday lipstick called "Hautecore Friday" is described by makeupandbeautyblog.com as a deep purple, although it does appear pitch black in the tube. It's sheer, so to get the pure black look, apply more than 3 layers onto the lips.

Each year on Black Friday, MAC cosmetics offers a dark lipstick available for purchase online.

Is it the fad of having an original color that's limited edition, or is it actually popular to own black lipstick?

Well, according to an article from the Huffington Post, the 2012 Black Friday edition of a slate-shade lipstick, called "Grey Friday," was only sold in the MAC Time Square location and online. This exclusivity could have added to why it sold out in a matter of hours.

Not only was the 2012 edition a sell-out because it was limited edition, but other MAC lipsticks from their limited edition collections have sold out just as fast. The 2009 Black Friday shade called "Black Knight" made a comeback after it's Black Friday debut, because of its overwhelming popularity.

According to Yahoo! Shopping, the Rihanna collaboration with MAC produced a dark wine lipstick called "RiRi Woo." It sold out within a couple hours online, and the next shipment was not expected until a couple months later.

I think I'll pass on this lipstick, I much rather have a pink or red shade to celebrate the holidays in anyway.

Would you sit up until midnight on Black Friday to make sure you nab one of these dark gems?

If you are wanting this shade or any past year's Black Friday editions, you can scope out eBay to grab one., or just order the 2013 shade straight from maccosmetics.com if you're lucky enough to press "submit order" in time.

Also, if you're looking for other upcoming cosmetic specials, Temptalia offers an entire list of cosmetic specials available online and in-store promotions for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

HAPPY (ALMOST) BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING!
