I am always looking for reviews on lipsticks and I love looking through blogs and reading about what people are buying. I always love the colours that Eating Lipstick has, I wish Black Cherry by Revlon would be in stock in just one of the shops I've been looking in!
Beauty and Baggage suggested that I try Russian Red by MAC. I like to see things in person before I buy them, so when we were in Glasgow I had a look at it, as well as Ruby Woo. At that time I couldn't decide so I left it for a while as I knew that I would be going to Edinburgh this week so I could visit the counter there. After swatching them again and getting my mums opinion I decided on Russian Red.
It really is a true red, a lot of people would describe it as a universal red as it suits most skin tones. I'm very pale and it suits me nicely. I've worn it a couple of times since buying it, and I must say I do like it a lot. Perhaps not as much as Really Red from Revlon though, I find it lasts better.
The Good.
Highly pigmented.
Smells beautiful.
Decent staying power.
Classic packaging.
Universal red, will suit most people.
The Bad.
Could last longer.
Slightly more expensive at £14. (Only because I'm usually on a budget!)
As you can see the good definitely outweighs the bad with this lipstick. I think it is a staple product that any lipstick lover should have, especially if you love reds or mattes. Or in my case, both!
Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

ReplyDeleteThey do smell amazing! I'm glad it was a dilemma for someone else, the decision did take a lot of thought! Maybe I'll get Ruby Woo eventually haha. Thanks for commenting, I hope you're well :)
