Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 477 Black Cherry Review and Swatches



(0,15oz./4,2g - 8USD) This is almost an exact dupe of Tom Ford's Black Orchid, you definitely don't need to pay 52USD to Tom Ford when you have Black Cherry.
There are couple downfalls though, it's very difficult to get an even layer and even color on your lips, because the formulation is too liquidy for such an intense color. The duration is terrible, you shouldn't eat or drink anything whilst wearing this lipstick. You don't have that problem with many MAC ones.

Revlon'u uzun bir aradan sonra yeniden Türkiye'de görmek çok güzel, Watsons mağazalarında bulabilirsiniz. Bence Gosh'tan sonra en kaliteli drugstore markası. Black Cherry çok koyu bordo tonda bir ruj. Bordonun çok hafif mora bakan tonu diyebiliriz. Ama kalıcılık açısından hiç iyi değil, konuşurken bile hareket ediyor ruj.

Christian Louboutin Beautyk Patent Leather Booties in Black


Just look at how pretty they are! I don't know whether to call them peep toe sandals or booties, but these heels aren't meant for cold weather. They are very comfy, not so high heeled and no platform.

YSL La Laque Couture Nail Polish in 32 Rouge Expressioniste Review and Swatches


(0,34floz./10ml - 25USD) I haven't been using reds on my nails for ages, this is actually deeper, almost maroon red which is very trendy this season. Unfortunately this varnish chips easily and the color also loses it's shine very easily.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss 2012 2013 Matte Velvet Lipstick Collection Review and Swatches




I just got 4 lipsticks from Rimmel London Kate Moss Winter 2012 2013 lipstick collection, there a lot of different shades this time, around 10. All have velvet finish not entirely matte, it's the exact same formula and finish of Rimmel London's Color Show Off Lipsticks, which I love. If you 'd like to check my review about 8 of them click here.
102: Soft pink/ bubble gum pink.
106: Deep reddish pink, looks almost red under yellow light.
107: My favorite out of the entire collection, a maroon that looks berry under day light.
113: A very pale nude, this just cancelles out my lips far too much.

Guerlain Rouge Automatique in 167 Guet Apens Review and Swatches





(0.12oz/3.4g - 35USD) Guet Apens is a ruby red lip color, it's very sheer and not buildable. It has tiny little pearls in the bullet but not noticable when swatched. As all other Guerlain ones this lipstick also has a lovely scent to it.

Guerlain Rouge G Lipstick in 70 Gigolo Review and Swatches



(0.12oz/3.4g - 48USD) I love everything about this lipstick, I have 2 more Rouge G's but this one is different. It has such a soft formula enough to glide on and melt on your lips but it's very long lasting at the same time. It's rich in pigmentation. The shade on it's own is divine. A maroon with some purple hint, it has mostly creamy finish but it has tiny pearls in it that gives dimension. These vampy colors are must for this fall season.

 #16 is a bright salmon / peachy pink color.

#20 is in your face blue based bright pink.

#22 is bright, vivid red.

MAC Lip Pencil in Redd Review and Swatches



(1,45g/0,05oz. - 14USD) I am a fan of Mac lip liners they are smooth, long lasting. But they have just a few color that appeals me, Redd is of them. It's a true matt red, not orangey red not brownish red. Pigmentation is good, one swipe is enough to show the color.

Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick Collection #1, 2, 3, 7 Review and Swatches





(4g/0,14oz.) What I love about this new lipstick collection from Rimmel is their full color opacity. They have quite a strong scent and I'm not really a fan. Other than that, these are great lipstick. There are 7 different shades in the collection but I could get my hands on only 4 of them, they were all sold out except the intense purple shade which looked really odd to me. Overall, I'm loving my new lipsticks!
#1 : Is the shade that Kate's wearing on the ads and looks fab! Creamy finished dark brick red.
#2 : Very pretty fuschia pink.
#3 : Pale beige nude.
#7 : Peachy, even brownish nude.

Shiseido Automatic Lip Crayon in LC1 and LC3 Review and Swatches



(1,5g/0,05oz. - 23USD) These could have been perfect lipsticks if only they had more pigmentation, already quite pigmented but not as intense as I'd like. They have a pearlescent effect to them, not appear on your lips though.They come in pencil form but won't  need sharpening because they are twist ups. I get around 4 hours of wear.
LC1 is a milky nude with a pink touch. Somewhat frosty and highly glossy.
LC3 is a strawberry pink. A bit sheer but becomes more opaque if you pile it on.

Rouge Dior in 028 Rose Comedy vs. Mac Lipstick in Impassioned




Christian Dior Rouge Dior 028 Rose Comedy, Pink Comedy (3,4g/0,12oz. - 32USD) : I know they are not really dupes but pretty close. Anyway, no product can beat this lipstick when it has this marvellous packaging, very elegant. The smell is amazing too, it smells just like a lipstick if you know what I mean? If a lipstick had it's own smell that would be it. I have a weird problem about Rouge Diors, they tend to move toward the edges on my lips and I hate that. Other than that I love the color, it's a muted creamy red, it's still vibrant but not as bright as a red.
Mac Impassioned Lipstick (3g/0,1oz. - 14,50USD): This one is more pinkish version of a muted red. They are both drying, ofcourse MAC one has a lot more pigmentation.

Red Lipsticks Comparisons, Review and Swatches


Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick 630 Red Revolution: Opaque and more pinkish red.
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick 090 True Red: Mid tone true red, hence the name.
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick 645 Red Revival: Deep red, looks similar but certainly darker than Russian Red.
Mac Lipstick in Russian Red: Deep cool toned red with a matte finish, not completely matte but more matte than the others. Most pigmented and the smoothest of all.
Rimmel London Color Show Off Lipstick 230 Red Fever: As matte as Russian Red but more true red.
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick 640 Ruby Star: Ruby red with a little bit pearl.


This is how they look after wiping out, I guess staining is something very common with red lipsticks. As you can see from the picture above Maybelline Red Revolution is the most staining one and Rimmel London Red Fever is the least.

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in 090 True Red Review and Swatches




This lipstick is OK, nothing special. Average packaging, average quality with average price. A red shade that you can find tons of dupes. I would like this lipstick if it was hydrating.

Rimmel London Colour Show Off Lipsticks Review and Swatches



(4g/0,14oz.) I just can't get enough of this lipsticks, they have a very unique formulation, I feel like they are silicone based. They provide soft velvety finish, they also look quite matte, not necessarily hydrating but not drying either. All shades are opaque, except Pink Fame and Stare at me, which are semi-opaque. Unfortunately Color Show off Lipsticks don't come in wide range of shades, they don't even have a nude color.

Shake-up Pink 020: This has been my go to shade since I got it, it's a dupe for Mac Chatterbox except their finishes. Mac is glossier and shake-up pink is more matte. It's a good shade for everyday wear.
Pink Gossip 110: This is a darker version of Shake-up Pink, definitely more brighter pink.
Tell No One 030: My least favorite shade, because it looks quite brown and ;I fon't find that very flattering. I wish it was more on the orange side.
Pink Fame 210: Looks very pretty on the tube but when you put it on it's not as opaque as the other shades, so if you want an opaque lipstick I'd recommend you to skip this one.
Kiss Me 140: This shade definitely says kiss me! Bold, bright, vibrant corally red. Looks very similar to Mac Impassioned, again except the finish. This is more velvety and matte where Impassioned is glossy.
Be Bold 120: Vibrant plummy pink, more on the pink side, even red when it's on the lips.
Red Fever 230: Red Fever is a good dupe for Mac Russian Red, they are both matte and have this vibrant dark red color.
Stare At Me 250: Has semi-opaque finish, still very pigmented though. Not everyone can easily pull of this shade, it's a brownish plum and has some purple in it too.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Russian Red Review and Swatches




Russian Red is Mac's one of the most popular shade of all times, it actually worths all the hype. It's worn by so many celebrities on the red carpet. It's is a deep red so you might want to opt with Ruby Woo or something else if your have paler skin, because this shade might not even look red but maroon on you. You get the exact color in the tube with just one swipe, it's that pigmented. It has a matte finish and matte finishes from MAC are as intensely pigmented as amplified's. Matte finishes also dries the crap out of your lips.

Sephora Lip Attitude Star Lipstick in 14 Capricious Red Review and Swatches



The consistency of this lipstick is just like a lip balm and it gives more shimmer and glossiness than it gives the color. If you want a lipgloss in a lipstick form go for it. The smell of it is very weird, I can't tell what it smells like but it's really strong. It's so smooth and hydrating, I love it!

The Body Shop Lip Liner #13 Rosy Red Review and Swatches



(1,25g/0,04oz. - 10USD) The Body Shop lip liners are not the smoothest that I've tried, they are not bad though. They won't run quite easily. Rosy red is a red with some pinkyness to it, it's not truly opaque but almost there.
You have to watch out for it's ingredients, this small pencil contains 5 different parabens in it. Parabens make this pencil won't expire until 36 months, while they can make you cancer.

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in New Temptation Review and Swatches


(3,6g/0,12oz. - 14,50USD)I'm so excited with the new Sheen Supreme Lipstick collection, all shades are semi opaque, some of them more opaque some less, but they are all shiny, glossy. Even the packaging is glossy. They are actually non shimmery MAC version of Dior High Shine lipsticks, which I adore. You have to try MAC ones if you love the Dior ones and vice versa. New Temptation is a very beautiful cherry red. After wearing it for an hour and eating or drinking nothing, I can tell that it looks a bit less sheeny and it bleeds, but still so beautiful that I want to own every single color in this collection.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick 640 Ruby Star Review and Swatches



Ruby Star is the only shade that has shimmers in my Color Sensational lipstick collection, it's also the darkest shade. It still has a glossy finish and the shimmers are not over there, it's a true ruby color.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick 630 Red Revolution Review and Swatches





Red Revolution is a medium toned red, it also has some pink in it. This lipstick could use some nice scent, it smells like play dough. The color fades during the day so you might want to re apply quite often. Another downside is that it stains like crazy, you have to rub your lips so hard with a waterproof eye make-up remover, still you can't remove it completely, you have to wait for the next day and then you can remove it completely. But this shade is so beautiful and vibrant that it's worth wearing.
