Jordana CranberryI LOVE this colour and this lipstick smells so yummy. It is more on the matte side so it does have okay lasting power. The only reason I'm looking for another red is because I can't take this out with me - the packaging is toooo tacky for me to be able to whip it out in a nightclub bathroom and apply.
Arbonne Jam
This is a really nice red wine kind of red and it does frequently make an appearance in my handbag when I'm going somewhere exciting. I wore this to my 21st actually (I will do a 21st blog post soon!) and it went perfectly with my outfit. But, as I have said, I would like a bright red.
Rimmel Drop of Sherry
This is frosty and also kind of pink toned. I can wear this one without hesitation, but I want something more of a true red.
Rimmel Temptation
This was one of the first lipsticks I bought, and I've never worn it out! I get too scared and end up wiping it off before I leave the house. It's such a nice colour though, and I think next time I head out in a LBD I will give this one a go (wish me luck). I used to think this was too blue toned for me, but it doesn't seem that bad...
So I've been eyeing off MAC Ruby Woo lately...and by eyeing off, I mean obsessing, and looking at tons of swatches. I reeaaally want it! What do you ladies think? Should I go for it?
Do you have trouble with red lipsticks? What are some of your favourites?
You won't regret purchasing Ruby Woo. It's my go-to red lip. It lasts forever too and doesn't wear off weird. Perfect for nights out :)
ReplyDeleteI could probably giveaway allll my other reds because I mainly wear that one!

Awesome, definitely going to have to buy it now. I haven't read a bad review for it at all :) oh wow, I'm guessing you have a huge collection of reds, so that's definitely saying something!
DeleteI think you might have to try a few different ones until you find your perfect shade! Saying that, Riri Woo/Ruby Woo (they are practically similar) are very gorgeous lippies, so you might be quite happy. Why not walk into the nearest MAC store and ask to try it? :)
ReplyDeleteI used to find I couldn't wear red too often either, but once I got used to wearing it, I find myself wearing red pretty often! I just have to be in the right mood. ;)
From what I have seen, they look almost identical...I heard that Riri Woo has pretty much sold out? I will suss it out though :)
DeleteYes, I know what you mean about the right mood :) although I usually only ever wear bold colours at night.
Ruby Woo is one of those iconic MAC products so it'll definitely be a great purchase and investment! I'm quite pale so I don't really have a problem with red lipsticks thankfully but there are just so many different red lipsticks out there, its hard to choose which one to buy!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly seems that way :) it really is so hard to choose...I want them aaaaalll!
DeleteI'd say pick up Riri woo. It's limited edition so you should get your hands on it pretty soon (although if it sells out, it'll be re-released in October or so anyway). It's easier to put on than Ruby Woo and it's SO flattering.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't know it would be re-released! I will have to check it out, or maybe I'll just do what I usually do and end up buying both haha :)
