I'm usually seen wearing red lipstick so I thought I'd make a post on my favourite kinds.
Red lipstick is my absolute favourite and only very rarely do I wear a different colour. Sometimes, I might wear pinky colour to tone it down a bit depending where I am; but mostly I usually sod it, even if I'm doing an early start at work I might still wear my strongest red.
So apologies for the terrible photos, the lighting is awful so you can't really see the shades of the lipsticks at all.
A new one I've decided to try recently, is from the Color Riche collection by L'oreal. This is the 'Julianne's Pure Red' edition. In a way, it's quite similar to MACs Ruby Woo in the matte texture and colour. However, it goes on a lot smoother. It retails at £6.99 in Boots and is such a good price for the quality of the lipstick.
This is the Chanel - Rouge Allure lipstick in Pirate 99. Whilst it retails at £26, I recently got this from www.cohorted.co.uk for a discounted price of £18. I felt so chuffed with this bargain! I've only worn this once since I've bought it and it's the first item from Chanel I've ever purchased, but I wore it at work and I received so many compliments from customers. So chuffed! I cannot wait to wear it more often.
MAC - Russian Red - I first noticed this colour on a friend's friend and I couldn't stop staring at it. It's so intense and a matte that lasts and is very easy to apply. It's a slightly creamy, darker red and so pigmented this lipstick will you for ages!

MY FAVOURITE LIPSTICK OF ALL TIME
MAC - Ruby Woo is my staple red and the one I use most often. The first lipstick I bought by MAC and the one I will always go back to. I think the thing that a lot of people have a problem with this lipstick is, is that it can be very dry and a struggle to put on. However, I love it! To me, the drier and mattier (I will make that world) a lipstick, the more I love it. I particularly enjoy this because it NEVER goes on my teeth and lasts such a long time.
Lime Crime's Red Velvet Velvetine is fantastic. Despite looking like a lip gloss (which I hate ew ew ew), it applies on to your lips wet and then dries into a matte. It's BRILLIANT. It's got a waterproof formula so the colour can last all night through drinking and eating. The red is such a strong and bold colour, you really stand out but for me, the fact you really don't need to reapply to it for hours, makes it such a good investment.
I bought this along with actual Lime Crime lipsticks and the pigmentation in all of their products is so fantastic, they do really last such a long time.
What are your favourite lipsticks and colours?
