RED LIPSTICKS FOR HOLIDAY 2013 MY PICKS

Hola, hola!!!
I had promised for this post some time back. I love Red lipsicks is no secret to those who read my blog. But I surprised even myself when I started digging out my red lipstick stash for this post. I have 6 of these now and I know atleast 3 more than I am lusting. But thankfully after doing this post I have convinced myself to not buy another Red Lipstick until I finish atleast one of this. I know not gonna happen. But still atleast it will stop me from buying the latest M.A.C retro matte ones.
So lets begin. I will go from lightest to darkest.

my red lipstick stash

1.REVLON CANDY APPLE: I love this one. Okay this is going to be a common line for all the lipsticks. I love this because its my "no attention seeker" / "day time"Red lipstick. Its juicy and moisturizing and makes the lips look plump. I've had many asking me what lipstick it is. Here is the swatch and how it looks on me. I have reviewed it HERE

2. MAYBELLINE MAT 4: This is the latest addition to my stash. I bought it for the matte effect, but its not matte by any means. But I still love it ( get many compliments whenever I have applied this,, so gotta love it). Jokes apart, I like how it lifts up the entire face and it a perfect balance between blue and orange undertone. Its neither too dark not too light. Here is the  FOTD using this lipstick. You can read a detailed review HERE

3. MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL LIPSTICK IN FATAL RED: I got this lipstick after Lisa Eldridge recommended it in one of her YOU TUBE videos. This and one another one from REVLON Matte called REALLY RED. Girls please if any of you know where I can buy it from in INDIA please let me know. I lost mine ( very sad face) and cant find it now anywhere to repurchase.
Anyways back to Fatal Red I like this one because its not a  very fiery red, next to other red lipsticks it looks more orange. It suits Indian complexion well. Read review HERE

4. COLORBAR HEARTS AND TARTS: I have recently reviewed this lipstick, and it honestly hasnt been that long since I have bought it. But its the mattest if that is even a word) red lipstick I have. Its not too drying on the lips and is perfect for my dry lips, although exfoliation is highly recommended.You can read the detailed review along with HERE

5. RIMMEL LASTING FINISH BY KATE MOSS NO. 11: This is the most "hatke" Red, its bordering on maroon but appears on the red side on my lips. This is going to be my pick for the fall season among the reds I own. Here is the FOTD using this lipstick. You can read the detailed review HERE. And for the FOTD you can read the detailed pictorial HERE .

6. L'OREAL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK IN REFINED RUBY: This is hands down the most beautiful RED lipstick I have or want, I love it over M.A.C Russian Red and Ruby Woo . Yes you heard it right. I have swatched it side by side with those MAC. lipsticks but still loved this one more that is why they havent made an entry yet into my vanity. HERE is the review and FOTD using this favorite.

MAYBELLINE FATAL RED 530 LIPSTICK REVIEW AND LOTD

Hello friends, I am back after a long long time and I am back with this Maybelline red lipstick called Fatal Red. First things first, I really missed all of you and this beauty world, though I was not completely out of touch, I was some what active on Facebook. I went to visit my parents and took some time off blogging and I came back and realized I had my camera there and then Diwali and then I was not keeping well, am still not in perfect health...anyhoo..I am back now and here is my post on the most beloved budget friendly RED LIPSTICK ever...its the most talked about red lipstick ...Fatal Red.
Now you all know by this time I have a weak spot for Red lipsticks and smokey eyes. This lipstick has been in  my collection for a long time....I have enjoyed this a lot, though its not my favorite. But its a good budget lipstick to have in your collection.. Why?? Read on.

To begin with its PRICED at INR349. or $7.49 USD . I would say its a good budget lipstick from a drugstore brand and it easily available.

COLOR: Well to me its really very difficult to describe colors in general, and top it off with so many shades in the same color....to the best of my ability MAYBELLINE FATAL RED is a true red color its not blue neither is it orange based, its just red. What I love about this lipstick is that depending on the lip liner I choose underneath it I can manipulate the redness of the lipstick.

TEXTURE AND PIGMENTATION: FATAL RED is a creamy smooth lipstick. It glides on the lips effortlessly. The formula is creamy although not buttery as Revlon Lip butters. The pigmentation on the lipstick is somewhere in between, its decently pigmented, one swipe and you do get the color full on, but I would say one swipe it doesnt make it completely opaque. You do need two swipes to get the full effect, but it also makes it wearable during the day time.

STAYING POWER: Maybelline color sensational range lipsticks are not known for their staying power and same holds true for this lipstick. It barely stays for 3 hours at a maximum and then starts to fade, being a pigmented lipstick it doesnt completely wear off though. FATAL RED stays put a good three hours. 

OVERALL VERDICT: I am in love with lipstick , its a no fuss completely gorgeous red lipstick. And for someone who is venturing into the red lipstick world, its a perfect start. The staying power could have been better, but he Maybelline doesnt claim it to be a long lasting lipstick either. So overall I would give this lipstick a thumps up and go ahead and recommend it to all and sundry!! Here is how it looks on me.
