Lancome Color Fever Dewy Shine - Smooth Shine Sensual Lipcolor - 105 Red Drop

I saw Lancome's Color Fever Dewy Shine 105 Red Drop on Strawberrynet and could not resist. I was a huge fan of Lancome's Juicy Rouge in 133 Sorbet (now extinct) and thought it could be a suitable replacement. It was difficult to gauge the colour swatches on line, so I ordered the brightest looking red available.
Despite the brightness of the lipstick itself, when applied, the shade is very very sheer. It is incredibly glossy and glassy in appearance and has gold flecks in it. Unlike most Lancome lip products I own, there is no fragrance. The other notable difference is that this product is made in Japan, which makes me think it could be an Asia exclusive item. Lovely to try - I would be inclined to recommend this product to those who are scared of red lipstick and are looking for a 'safe' red colour!

MAC Blush

I use to be too scared to wear blush but as my MAC blush collection increases the fear decreases!

Guerlain Rouge G Jewel Lipstick Compact - 23 Geisha

I discovered Guerlain's Rouge G Lipstick Compact when it was launched and have purchased most of the red shades. My 'shade of the moment' is 23 Geisha. The Rouge G packaging is designed by French jeweler, Lorenz Bäumer and is incredibly stylish - I love carrying these lipsticks around in my handbag! The lipstick itself is of a high standard, with good staying power, pleasant scent and moisturising properties, I would say that the only down side is that the lipstick is fairly weighty so if you are carrying three of these at any one time (as I often do) you will notice it!

MAC Sheertone Blush - Pink Swoon

I recently added MAC's Sheertone Blush in Pink Swoon to my collection and am very impressed. The colour builds well and despite initial appearances, is not too over the top. Total winner in my book :P

Anna Sui Black Rose Compacts

I have a weakness for Anna Sui compacts. Last week I saw the Moisture Rich Powder Foundation with a new compact design and I knew I had to have it. It arrived this week - beautiful and shiny and it was love at first sight :)

Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Lipcolour - 134 Idole

I purchased Lancome's L'Absolu Rouge lipstick in 134 Idole a few months back when I was at my peak of wearing orange reds. I wanted something 'different'. Initially I thought the colour may have been a little too orange, but I was pleasantly surprised when the the orange morphed into a beautiful bright red (thanks to the pink in me)! The lipstick is great - it is light and creamy and very easy to wear. It has even convinced be to go back to the Lancome counter for more red shades.

Urban Decay Lipstick - 5150

I purchased Urban Decay's 5150 lipstick at the same time as Revolution. Looking at it, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. 5150 is sheer and has flecks of glitter. On me, it turned an almost coral red which was quite nice for a change - I'd say it is a good summer shade, which I seem to need right now in Melbourne as summer is still very much here!
