Reds part two (Picture heavy)

Alright now for part two of this blog, that in all honesty was oh so hard on my lips. Seriously swatching on the lips makes for some really awful dry, chapped aftermath. ANYWAY, I digress ^-^ you didn't come here for me you came here for the info, so off we go.
The products in this portion are higher end (except for the first one) and can be found online or in stores depending on where you live.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in #070 Cherry Tart $3.99 (ulta.com)

Claims- Hydrating with sheer to medium color. Comes in 20 shades. 

Lip Butters are just lip butters. They are hydrating and have a little bit of build-able to them. I like the color whispers a bit more because of the formula but lip butters are amazing. They give off true to tube color, have good color pay off, and wear evenly. I own five of them and even a shade like red velvet which looks completely unflattering on me can be sheered out for a small wash of color and hydration. So more like a lip balm instead of a lipstick. like before these are not matte and will last you a bit longer than lip glosses.

MAC Cosmetics in Lady Danger $15.00

Claims- Matte, and a coral red color.

It is pretty matte, more of a creamy formula compared to the other two MAC lipsticks I'm going to show you. It is transferable and most definitely has a hint of orange to it. If you want to try something more orange and you already like how reds look on you give this one a go. It isn't a pure wash of orange or red and it does look great on multiple skin tones. Be aware that matte shades will last longer on you than glossy shades. Also, all MAC lipsticks have a hint of vanilla smell, to me at least.

MAC Cosmetics in Russian Red $15.00

Claims- Matte, High Intensity blue red. 

Russian Red is a fabulous more blue red, which if I'm not mistaken helps your teeth look whiter. It also looks FABULOUS on lighter skin tones. It is matte and a little bit of a drier consistency than Lady Danger is. Both will budge with food, drinks, etc. but if you put a good lip liner on before this one will last you for a few hours.

MAC Cosmetics in Ruby Woo $15.00

Claims- "A very matte, vivid blue red"

When Ruby Woo says it's matte it MEANS it's matte. The only problem with it being so matte is the fact that it feels so dry. Some of you may not have a problem with this but for me it settles into fine lines and accentuates flaws. Now, I will say that there is an easy remedy to this (for me at least) and that is to apply a THIN (unless you want to take away that intense matte) layer of lip balm and then apply lip liner and the lipstick. This is the longest wearing out of the three matte shades I own because of how dry it is. It is also a blue red so it will make your teeth look whiter, it's just a tad more vibrant than Russian Red. It hits you like a classic Marilyn Monroe shade.

Limecrimes Velvetines in Red Velvet $16.99 (limecrimemakeup.com)

Claims- "Rich, velvety red."

Okay if I'm being honest with you, I have the biggest love hate relationship with this one. I was made aware of this through my make up teacher who was always sporting a FLAWLESS red lip. These are fairly new I believe and my gosh are they hard to find! The limecrime website is always selling out of these and considering the fact that with shipping these bad boys turn out to be about $20 a pop, it gets expensive. However, this applies like an opaque lipgloss with a doe-foot wand and dries to a matte color that barely transfers at all. Does it budge when eating or drinking? A bit, not anything that a quick touch up to the center of your lips won't fix, but without that it lasts HOURS. I've gone to sleep wearing it and woken up with it still on (not with it looking flawless but it was still there) it is amazing. It doesn't go on streaky but I HIGHLY recommend using lip liner with this product as it may bleed a little around the edges. If you are lucky enough to live in the Hollywood area you should try to research Naimie's in North Hollywood, they sell them at website price, without shipping. Just food for thought.

Anyway that rounds off all 10 red lip stuff I have.

Hope you enjoyed.
