Red lips – can you get enough of them?
There’s milky reds, there’s Bafta reds, really shiny reds, a devil red and a Santa red.
Today we have a Strawberry red lipstick and Cherry Lipliner from Arbonne.
This lipstick is £16 and is a full coverage, hydrating and long lasting lipstick. The lipliner is smudge proof and costs £15.
Swatches – yep – we have pigment:
It doesn’t actually look at good in the tube as it does on the lips. It looks a bit darker to me, almost possibly a hint maroon – urgh, maroon:
Love this though – if you want a really true red and yes, Strawberry is an apt name for it. It’s very very pigmented and soft. Although one has to wonder if a soft creamy lipstick + bright colour = smudging. Blot and blot I say.
On the lips:
If you don’t want to brave a red lipstick, see these 5 lip glosses you should try or alternatively, 5 other red lipsticks I like.
that looks gorgeous!!!
I’m glad you like
your lips look gorgeous too!
so smooth! how do you take care of them? 
Oh I don’t do much! Just lip balm when I remember – I am very bad at looking after them :/ Just use a lip balm sometimes, exfoliate when they are really dry and sometimes a treatment or two
That’s gorgeous! Do you know of any more affordable lipsticks that are similar coloured?
Hi Clare
Did you have a look at some of those other links? They’re some of my favourite reds! I also think that Revlon do amazing reds, and NYX
I have but found most are pink based reds, which do not suit me
I love this red on you, it’s a very true red. It reminds me of YSL Rouge Volupte (17) which I love love love colour-wise, but not so much in terms of smudginess, if that makes sense. I always find that it smudges with five minutes of wearing it. I know I can blot it, but I don’t like the colour it leaves.
BTW, I love your blog, I read it everyday. It’s nice to read so many high end make-up reviews as most of my friends stay away from that stuff (I’m 17)
Hey Satah
I have a few Rouge Voluptes! I wonder if we are thinking of the same one (Red Muse). Having said that I never have courage to wear red lipstick outside!
Thankyou, please keep reading! x
