Favourite Red Lip Products

If you know me, then you know how much I love red lip products. Chances are that if I am wearing something on my lips, it’s a shade of red. Even my lip balms have a red tint to them.  So that is why I decided to share with you my favourite red lip products.

The Burt’s Bees replenishing lip balm with pomegranate oil is one of my all-time favourite lip balms. It smells amazing, looks good on its own, because it accentuates my natural lip colour, and hydrates my lips, making them the perfect base for any lipstick I want to put on top of it. 

A recent addition to my favourites is the Vaseline red lip tint in Paint The Town Red. This one I tend to use more on its own rather than as a base. It gives my lips a beautiful glossy finish, while hydrating them at the same time; smells delicious (don’t eat it though, it definitely doesn’t taste good!) and doesn’t break the bank. Unfortunately, it is limited edition, but since the tin is big enough to last ages, or at least until they come up with something just as good.

The Barry M lip liner is an essential product for me, especially when I’m trying to achieve a bright red matte lip. It is quite soft, so it sometimes tends to smudge a little, but I have found that I gently patting a lipstick on top of it with my finger keeps that to a minimum.

My favourite dark red lipstick has to be Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Matte by Kate in 107 Rosetto. What I love about it is that even though it’s a matte lipstick, it doesn’t dry out my lips. I can get away with wearing it during the day by applying it very gently and then softening it out with my finger. I have never repurchased a lipstick before just because I have never loved one enough to finish it, but this one is so amazing that I just have to. It is also very affordable, which is always a big plus!

I can’t have a favourite dark matte lipstick without having a favourite bright one and for me that is the Bourjoius Rouge Edition lipstick in the colour 13. I can’t say much about it, except that it is absolutely gorgeous. At first I found it a bit hard to work with because it was the first bold lipstick that I had ever bought, but eventually I got used to it. It glides on so smoothly on my lips, doesn’t dry them out and stays on for hours! It’s one of the best things that has happened to my lips, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Bourjois.

My last favourite lipstick is something I got a couple of weeks ago, but it is one that I have been eying for months. It’s the Bourjois Shine Edition lipstick in the colour 23. It has a beautiful glossy finish and is quite buildable. I usually do the same as I do with my Rimmel one, apply a thin layer and soften it with my finger. This colour is perfect for spring as well because of the berry tones in it.
