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.

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 .

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.

L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick In Refined Ruby 337 : Review

Hello everyone,
I am back with another review. This one is going to be on Loreal Paris Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick in Refined Ruby. Refined Ruby is my most worn and most loved and most favorite Red lipstick. I love it too too much.
Its priced at INR 900 and USD $9.99.
Lets get the review started.

PACKAGING: The lipstick is packaged in a clear and transparent tube and it quiet sturdy. Being transparent allows you to see the color without opening it. All the lipsticks in this range have a red color coating on the top of the lid, which doesnt make much sense to me, the packaging should be able to help identify the color of the lipstick not misguide you. Also for the price the packaging isnt up to the mark. But looks aside the packaging is secure and sturdy so the lipstick is travel friendly.

TEXTURE: I own a couple of shades of this line and can safely say that texture of the lipstick is soft and smooth. Its formula is thicker so its not buttery smooth but smooth enough. Being a red shade it is very pigmented shade and color payoff in a single swipe is exceptional. Its a creamy lipstick and it has semi matte finish so its not exactly glossy or shiny. (If you do prefer that kind  look then I suggest using a lip gloss.)

COLOR AND STAYING POWER: Ooooo...where to begin.Its a darker red with blue undertones. Its not on the orange side and thus makes it all the more flattering for almost all skin colors. Its vibrant and a bold red which sure makes a statement. The staying on this lipstick is A-M-AZ-I-N-G. It is infallible literally...of course in between meals it does fade away but ever so slightly. It stays for a good 7-8 hours on the lips without having to reapply.

APPLICATION: As with any bold and bright shade ans especially with reds its best to start with a lip liner. This lipstick is very pigmented and thus for most part one swipe is sufficient. Since it is not buttery smooth it is advisable to keep your lips moisturized.

OVERALL VERDICT: I am very pleased with this lipstick right from the texture to the formula to the staying power to the color everything is bang on. Its true to its claim , its a long wear lipstick but what is surprising and wonderful is that its still easy on the lips. The lipstick doesnt dry out even after hours of application as most long hour lipsticks do, they get dry and uncomfortable on the lips they get between the lines. Not this one mam, no no no...I would definitely repurchase this particular shade, and would most definitely try out other shades in the line. I am HAPPY girl! This product is worth spending the money on...because I'm worth it! okay kinda cheeky...but what...(just writing about this stuff makes me happy).I would definitely recommend you all to try this lipstick. Even if red is not your color do check out other colors in the line, they have an awesome selection.
