My Favourite Christmas Red Lipsticks

Hey beaut's!

Now I absolutely adore a red lip but I don't wear them enough, but because it's basically Christmas I have pulled out all of my favourite red lipsticks and have been wearing them with pride, I mean you've just got to embrace a red lip throughout December don't you. So today I thought I would share with you my favourite red lippies at the moment!

NARs Audacious Lipstick in Rita - I'm pretty new to this NARs lippie as I haven't had it long but isn't she a beauty! Rita is a warm red with a cream finish that packs an almighty punch, the pigment with this one is seriously insane and it's so soft a comfortable to wear, it's my new favourite everyday red!

MAC Viva Glam I - This one is a deep, vampy red shade with brown undertones and has a lovely matte finish. This is the red lip that I will be rocking to any Christmas parties because it just looks so dramatic on me and is such a statement lip, it is so beautiful though and definitely one to have stored away in your MAC lipstick collection!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 01 - I've gone through a few of these Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick's in 01 over the year's, it's another everyday favourite of mine because I find it's not too vampy or dramatic but is still a beautiful true red shade and it's lasts so long on my lips too.

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Pioneer - If I want to wear a liquid lippie then my Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Pioneer is my go to at the moment, it's the brightest red I own and my goodness does this stuff last well.

Smashbox Liquid Metal Lipstick in Crimson Chrome - If your looking for a metallic red to wear the Christmas then you HAVE  to go for Crimson Chrome by Smashbox, it's so god damn festive! The formula is lush too, it glides on like a full coverage liquid lipstick but has a glistening high shine finish just like a gloss in one single coat, arhh it's stunning!

Valentines Red Lips ♥

Hey beaut's!

With Valentines day fast approaching it's time to dig out those red lippies and get your inner Marilyn Monroe on he he, so today I thought I'd share with you all my favourite red lip products going from the preparation, moisturising and then the lipstick it self, enjoy beaut's!

Lush Santa's Lip Scrub and Vaseline Paint The Town

Firstly is the all important prep because lets face it nobody wants dry flaky lips on or around Valentines day do they? To get my pout in tip top condition I like to start with a lip scrub and the one I'm using at the moment is my Lush Santa's Lip Scrub, it might not be Christmas anymore but this particular lip scrub is quite fitting for Valentines, not only does it polish my pout to perfection but it contains cute little edible love hearts within the scrub which is very Valentines-ish. Once the scrub has gotten rid of any flaky, rough skin on and around my lips I like to give them a soft dose of moisture, the scrub already contains jojoba oil and extra virgin coconut oil which are very good at deep moisturising so I like to pop something light on to prep my lips before I line and apply my lipstick.

MUA Intense Colour Lip Liner in Red Drama

Next I like to line my lips and completely fill them in with the liner too, this not only helps to perfect the shape of your lips but it increases the staying power of your lipstick and prevents bleeding which red lipsticks tend to do. I honestly cant recommend MUA's offering enough, it's only £1.00, it apples creamy yet sets matte which stays in place a good 4-5 hours, the colour is a true bright red shade with a blue undertone so it also makes your teeth look super white which is always a bonus.

Rimmel Kate Moss in 01

Lastly it's the all important lipstick and one of my all time favourites reds is Rimmel's Kate Moss Lipstick in the shade 01, Ive actually got two of these lipstick because I love it that much! 01 is a gorgeous blue toned red shade which again really helps to make your teeth appear a lot whiter, it really has that vintage glam look once its applied to the lips and just looks so beautiful. The formula is very impressive, its highly pigmented, applies to the lips comfortably and feels very creamy, it has a sateen finish and has a fully opaque coverage. A definate winner in the red lip department that's for sure!

Whats your favourite red lip shade beaut's! I'd love to know!
