One of my favourite colours to wear on my lips has got to be red! However, after having used M.A.C's Ruby Woo for almost two years, I was finding its drier consistency harder and harder to manage and finally decided that enough was enough. So I recently popped down to M.A.C and bought some new, cute and red lip products.
M.A.C Red, £15.50
I was looking for a red that wasn't too bright and loud, but at the same time wasn't too dark and dull. Luckily for me M.A.C's M.A.C Red seemed to be just what I was looking for!
For those of you who know Ruby Woo, M.A.C Red is a very similar colour to it. It is what I would describe as a strong, classic red colour. It is more on the bright side of red lipsticks but isn't too overpowering in colour.
M.A.C Red is a satin lipstick which is great as it means that the lipstick glides on easily and doesn't leave you feeling as if you have to moisturise your lips after using it.
Strangely enough, I also actually like the name of the lipstick, as it is simple and is exactly what it is described as.
It retails at £15.50, so is at the middle range of the lipstick price spectrum, but perhaps you could put it on your Christmas list and if you're lucky enough you might just get it as a gift!
Cherry, £12.50
I also thought that it would be a good idea to buy a lip pencil to accompany the lipstick in order to give a more refined finish.
I came across M.A.C's Cherry Lip Pencil and found it to be the perfect match to M.A.C Red, as it is very similar in colour to it.
The lip pencil also has an amazing consistency that isn't drying and leaves you with a smooth finish.
Again it is a pricier product retailing at £12.50. However, I have found that this lip pencil can be used to mimic a lipstick effectively, thus you could opt for purchasing just this and using it to fill in all of your lips.
