3 New Reds

Hi everyone,
I've talked at great length about my love for red lipstick and over the last month or two I've made three new additions to my collection. I thought I'd show them to you.


Top to bottom: Revlon Red, Red Velvet, Stoplight Red
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Revlon Red'


This one was actually a bit of an impulse buy. I was at the Revlon stand, and there was a 3 for 2 and I needed a third thing so...Anyway, like the rest of the Super Lustrous lipsticks, the formulation of this lipstick is great, it's really moisturising and pigmented. I expected it to be a sort of cherry red colour, and while there is some pink in it, it's actually more of a bright red than I originally thought (and more than it's showing up on camera actually). But if you want a red lipstick that isn't matte, I would definitely consider this one.

Or if you would prefer a matte lipstick that is also very affordable, you could go with one of these Wet'n'Wild lipsticks. I already own a good few of these lipsticks, and did a full review of them here (needless to say, I'm a fan) and after months of debate (not really), finally caved and bought the two reds.
These are basically like the matte version of Revlon Red, both lipsticks have a lot of pink in them. To be honest, there isn't a huge difference between the two, as you can see from the swatches, Red Velvet is just slightly lighter. I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Red Velvet was supposed to be a dupe for MAC's Lady Danger, but that is not the case at all; it's very pink. Stoplight Red is probably my favourite of the two, it's just a perfect classic  red.

And those are my three new red lipsticks. I will be back very soon :)
