Ahhh red lipstick - so many fabulous variations in the market, and here's just a few of my treasures, both warm and cool tones. Hard to believe I hardly EVER wore red lipstick in my younger days (before I turned 50 lol) - thought it was too much, too flashy, and yet I didn't hesitate to slick on some purple or hot pink. Weird huh? It just goes to show how one's tastes (and perceptions) can change, as well as one's wardrobe - these days mine is probably 20% red, and I put together an outfit in this sassy hue almost every week...

It never ceases to amaze me how a slick of red lippy can transform my mood, as well as my appearance - mind you I rarely wear it unless I've also slapped on the full monty face as well, but there's been days when I've left the house with only a fiery pout plus my sunnies, and I didn't have a care in the world. I reckon with red lips, you can get away with almost anything lol ♥
In case you missed them, you'll find nudes, bricks and bronzes

Do you have a red lipstick in your kit that always makes you feel glam and confident?
Take care of you,

What a gorgeous selection of reds! I think the Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lipstick in Countess looks best on you, but they all look stunning. I'm more of a purple lover at the moment, but putting on a red lipstick always makes me feel sassy.
ReplyDeleteOoooh I LOVE purples too Mel - will be posting those later this week! Thanks for such lovely words hon - the Countess one is truly 10/10 on the wow scale lol ♥
DeleteLoving this selection!! Countess looks stunning on you, but I really wanna get my hands on Cherry Crave!! xx

Hiya Jasmine - thanks babe, and you must get Cherry Crave, it's almost the perfect red, neither too orange or too pink xxx
DeleteI'm loving every one of these shades! It's hard to pick but my fave is the Milani Cherry Crave shade. You have inspired me to start wearing red lippie more often ♡
ReplyDeleteI love the Cherry Crave too Bella - I found it at Gloss for $10, hope you can find it too, I'm only just now discovering Milani lippies ♥
DeleteHi Kat! Love all these reds on you! You always have the best selection on lippies. I use to be afraid of red too. I'm faired skin and one day just jumped in and now I love wearing a red lip. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Tal, so glad you like these, and even gladder to hear you took the plunge into a fiery pout too! xxx
DeleteI am once again reminded I need some Chi Chi in my life - Countess looks amazing! I agree re red lippie transforming your mood, too!
ReplyDeleteHey Di, Chi Chi regularly have special deals on their range at Myer - most times it's a 30% discount, and makes their lipsticks totally affordable ♥♥♥
DeleteI love a bold red lip! It definitely is a mood changer! The Milani Cherry Crave is so pretty!

Hi Jill, lovely to meet you hon - what would we do without red lipstick hey? Cherry Crave seems to be very popular xxx
DeleteNow this is comfortable territory for me! I love red! I never think to check out Rubi lipsticks but I love that pink/red colour.
ReplyDeleteYay for red hey neurotic! From memory I have 4 Rubi lippies, but this one is my fave x♥x
DeleteMaybelline colour blur looks very pretty on your lips, I have few red lipsticks and only 2 of them work for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a challenge to find just the right shade hey Faiza - I have a stack of them, but only wear half a dozen regularly xxx
DeleteAwesome picks! Maybelline Bold matte lip color looks great! I hardly wear red lip color, but definitely have to pick one and try it ! Lovely Swatches Kat!

Delighted you like the selection Rams - that Maybelline red sure is super potent, and I like it because it's not very matte at all, and therefore more flattering on my old pucker lol xxx
DeleteWhat great comparison swatches between all these reds!I love the look of the DB Deep Red and the Chi Chi Countess!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ingrid - I was hoping there would be at least one here that would appeal to everyone. It's interesting to see them all together too hey - makes my purchases SO much easier to justify because it's obvious they're all different lol xxx
DeleteIt's amazing how great you look in all the vibrant shades! I only look okay in nudey colours!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Amy - I adore nudes, truly I do, but there's very few that suit me, possibly because I wear such bold coloured clothing. Gosh we're all so different hey, but that's what makes life interesting xxx
DeleteOmg love it Kats, so true that red transforms your look and mood. I need to get back into wearing it more often!
ReplyDeleteGo for it Monique - judging by the gorgeous pics of seen of you, you and red lippie were MADE for each other xxx
