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.

with flash

in natural light

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.

SULTRY EYE MAKEUP USING NYX WICKED DREAMS PALLETE

HI EVERYONE,
As I said in my earlier post I shall be doing makeup using the NYX WICKED DREAMS PALETTE I am here with an fotd on the same.
Its not a complicated look as I wanted the main  focus to be the lipstick. I just used three eye shadows for this look.

First I applied this bronzy shade all over the lids and also on the lower lids.

Next I added this blackish brown on the outer corner of the eyes and blended it. And then I took the same eyeshadow and smoked it out on the lower lids as well.

AND then lastly I added this shade as the highlight shade below the eyebrows.

For this look I did not use any eyeliner i just smudged the darker shade on the lids.

So here is the final look..

 For this look I am using RIMMEL LONDON KATE MOSS LIPSTICK IN NO.11 which I recently reviewed HERE

RIMMEL LASTING FINISH LIPSTICK BY KATE MOSS no.11 REVIEW

HELLO THERE!

This post is about my review of the RIMMEL LASTING FINISH LIPSTICK BY KATE MOSS NO. 11.

I was reading so much about these lipsticks that I finally budged and got myself this lipstick. I bought in online so I wasnt too sure of the shade but once I opened the packaging and swirled the lipstick out of its tube it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

I have a weakness for red  lipsticks...and I dont know what I am going to do with so many of them, but that doesnt stop me from buying more..does it?

Anyhoo more about the product..

Its not an in your face bright red lipstick with orange tones it is more seductive deep muted red almost maroon with blue undertones.SO it instantly brightens your face.

I also especially liked the packaging of the lipstick.It comes in a regular lipstick tube but with a black matte finish both on the cap and the tube.And on the lid is written KATE with a small heart beneath it. CUTE! The lid snap shuts securely, so its easy to carry around and is travel proof.

The formula on this lipstick is creamy but not overly creamy where it slips off your lips, its a rich creamy texture, which helps the lipstick glide on effortlessly.It goes on smoothly and the pigmentation on this lipstick is great.

 I did not find it drying on the lips I hate it when a lipstick gets drying and sticks on the lips. But being creamy it does transfer easily, though it did not bleed.

Now Rimmel claims these lipsticks to be long lasting, well in my opinion they are long lasting though you will find it wearing off after meals, you need to retouch the lipstick after meals. It stayed a good four to five hours without any meal in between.

It is reasonably priced at $3.99 to $ 5.20 USD or INR 250 at slassy.com depending on where you purchase it from. I would definitely try out more shades from this range as well as the matte ones from kate moss rimmel.

Hope you liked the post.
Until next time....
