Make-up junkie? Guilty.
You may didn't know it because I actually never talk about beauty, make up and stuff in my blog or in my videos but yes, I'm one of those girls who's obsessed with all things beauty too.
I wasn't in the mood for filming a video today so to fill up the gap I decided to put up a random blog post and talk about one of my favorite make up items: red lipsticks.
My all time favorite is absolutely Russian Red by MAC
It has a matte finish, blue-ish undertones and it lasts for ages even when you drink or eat a lot!
I'm gonna mention the other three products in no particular order because they are all favorites of mine and I switch between them just based on what shade I am in the mood for.
The Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss #107 by RIMMEL is definitely worth the hype around it.
I'm not really good describing shades but you can check them out in the swatches down below. This one is a gorgeous sort of plummy red. Long lasting wear as well but not quiet as the Russian Red. It costs less than half of the price so we can't complaint after all!
One of my latest purchases that jumped into my favorites straight away is the ColorBurst Matte Balm #240 by Revlon. Oh my days, it's such a gorgeous orange-red. The formulation is really good in my opinion because, even tho it is technically a lip balm, it gives you a really nice matte, super pigmented, effect without drying your lips at all.
Last but not least is the MAC lip pencil in the color Cherry. I bought a long while ago when I was trying to use a lip pencil before any red lipsticks. I shortly realized I'm too lazy for that so I ended up using the pencil on its own and I love it! As the name says it's a matte cherry red color, same as the MAC lipstick, once you put in on it stays there all day.

Here are some swatches and other pics so you can check the colors and the packaging properly:

I bought all these products in the UK so I'm not entirely sure, besides the MAC stuff, if you can find them in Italy as well. I hope so, otherwise I'd suggest you to check them out online if you have the opportunity because they are great :)
This is it for today, let me know if you are a fan of red lipsticks too and which are your favorite ones!
Have a nice week!
