Today I'm going to be talking about my favourite red lip products.
I have four to talk about in the post; 3 of them are from Revlon, and the other is from Street Gloss. I also tried to pick shades that are for a range of seasons, or all year round.
Cherries in the Snow, Red Velvet, Candy Apple, 210 |
The first shade is a Revlon Colourbust Lip Butter (I have so many of these, so you'll hear about them a lot! haha) in the shade Candy Apple. It's a bright, true red that can be worn all year round. This is my most worn red lip product, because I can adapt the opacity to suit the rest of my look. It's creamy and glossy, which is my favourite finish.
The second one is also a Lip Butter, in the shade Red Velvet. It's a stunning brick red, and is perfect for winter. I have to admit, it looks a bit scary in the tube, but it applies beautifully. I honestly think it's a universally flattering colour. (Even my mum wears this shade). It's also great for people who just want to dip their toes in the vampy, dark red trend, as you can apply it with a light hand and really sheer it out- and it still looks stunning.
I also love Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in Cherries in the Snow. It's a punchy raspberry red, with blue undertones. It's also a Creme formula, which is my favourite. I usually save this shade for the evening, as it can look too bright on me during the day. This is a more adventurous red shade, in my opinion. Once again, it's universally flattering, as even my mother tends to wear this shade. I also love that it makes my teeth look whiter! That's a bonus! When blotted onto the lips gently, it takes on a pinky-red appearance, which looks stunning with a simple cat-eye and muted blush. This sheer application also works for during the day, which makes this shade more versatile.
Finally, I have a glamourous and sexy gloss for you. It's from Street Gloss, and it's in the shade 210. This shade is beautifully shiny and juicy, and is perfect for a night out. It's a little sticky, but the texture helps with lasting power. I prefer to wear it on top of a lipstick, as this adds a bit of dimension to the look. This gloss does have bits of red glitter in it, but it's relatively unnoticeable on the lips, and isn't gritty at all. The only issue I have is with the applicator, as it's a brush, and it's kinda flimsy. With a pigmented gloss like this, precision is key. And I find you don't get the desired precision with the brush provided. Apart from that, I love it!
So that's all for this post, and I hope you like it!
Hopefully I can add some higher-end lip products to this list, as I'm saving up for some :)
Let me know what your favourite shades are!
Until next time,

Same here! I can't believe I waited so long to purchase it! It looked a bit scary in the tube at first, being so bright, but now I can't live without it!
