Lancome Rouge LAbsolu Nu Lipstick - 102 Rouge Nu

I bought this lipstick because I have a weakness for packaging and was keen on the print on the lid! The lipstick is sheer and glossy and not all that revolutionary (the lid is the best part). I thought the colour may be brighter and redder, but actually turns quite pink on my lips. The fragrance is fairly standard to Lancome's lip products. Nice shade if you are new to red lipstick or want to wear something subtle.

Kiko : Make Up Milano - Velvet Mat Lipstick - 608

This is the last Kiko : Make Up Milano - Velvet Mat Lipstick I have to swatch, the darkest red. Again, a beautiful and impressive product. I'll swatch the four Kiko Velvet Mat lipsticks I have soon. They are all unique and stunning colours. If you are lucky enough to be able to buy these lipsticks, I'd certainly recommend it.

Oh dear - I've gone and purchased another pair of Francis Klein sunglasses!! Utterly in love!!

MAC Lipglass Pencil - Red Stroke

I came across MAC's lipglass pencil lip in Red Stroke in a box of make up I'd forgotten about - I bought this product a while back. I'd be inclined to use it as a wash of colour given it's smooth and shiny consistency not as feathering prevention or for longevitiy. Not quite as a expected, but a light and fresh alternative to lipstick.

Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick - 523 Exces De Rouge

After years of knowing this lipstick is one of Dita Von Teese's favourites, I finally caved and purchased it. Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick - 523 Exces De Rouge is a beautiful dark red which wears like a dream. I wasn't really sure what it would look like on me as my skin is a slightly different tone to Dita's but I was more than impressed. This produce is incredibly moisturizing and opaque yet light and comfortable. A brilliant winter or night shade without any doubt :)

Kiko: Make Up Milano - Velvet Mat Lipstick - 607 vs MAC's Ruby Woo

This is a colour comparison for one of my readers. Kiko: Make Up Milano - Velvet Mat Lipstick- 607 is more pink than Mac's Ruby Woo. Ruby Woo is thicker and more drying in consistency. Both great colours but certainly different to the eye of a red lipstick lover!
