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!

Blogmas Day 21 - Affordable Christmas Red Lip

Hey beaut's!

It's blogmas day twenty one and today I'm talking all things 'the Christmas red lip'! I did my festive Lip of the Day post last week sharing the duo I'll be rocking on Christmas Day (HERE) however that featured a MAC lippie, so I wanted to do a post all about a cheaper alternative and after trying the Collection Velvet Kiss Moisturising Lip Cream in Rosie I feel like I've found just the beauty!

The Collection Velvet Kiss Moisturising Lip Cream in Rosie is a bright red shade with pink undertones, it's a lot brighter than it appears in the packaging but is definitely the perfect show stopping shade for the festive season. The formula of this Velvet Kiss Moisturising Lip Cream is actually a lot nicer than I expected, I feel like Collection have really upped their game with these. Rosie is super pigmented and the texture is gorgeous, it's so lightweight on the lips, it doesn't cake up or crack, its easy to apply and stays comfortably matte without feeling super drying. I find with most liquid lipsticks their quite sticky or tacky until their completely dry but Collections offering isn't like that at all, instead it's super smooth and creamy until it's set which feels so nice on the lips. Wear time is good, the only thing I would say is when I eat it does wear off from the centre of my lips but stays intact around the shape of my lips so when eating a meal this will need topping up but for £2.99 I really cant complain.

Overall if your looking for a bright red lipstick that wont break the bank this festive season then I definitely think Collection's Velvet Kiss Moisturising Lip Cream in Rosie is worth a buy, they also have some other super pretty shades in the collection too that I NEED to buy after loving the formula of this one so much!
