from my red lip wardrobe- Russian Red

Red lips have been gracing my face more and more lately, and the Russian Red lipglass was something I didn't know existed until quite recently. A permanent MAC product, the recent MAC Fashion Sets collection opened my eyes to some of the brands most popular shades.
I was contemplating picking up the Russian Red lipstick (still am,really...) when this popped up in a blog sale, and I knew that the lipglass was meant for me. The formula is a little bit sticky, which makes it last longer than more slippery glosses. I think it is a fair trade, and though I have to reapply after I eat or have a coffee I'm still pretty happy with the longevity of this lipglass.
I find that the cherry red colour of Russian Red suits the glossy look, and brightens up my NC15 skin tone really well. I think this would suit most skin tones, it is quite a neutral red colour and a great addition to my red lip wardrobe.
Do you own Russian Red in any form?
What sort of red shades fill your red lipstick wardrobe?

  1. I do not own Russian Red in any form, but I have so many other reds...haha.I think this looks stunning on you! But I've heard so many things about how sticky the lipglass formula is that I will probably never try one.

    1. @Larie reds are such great colours to own, they can really make you feel powerful I think. I don't mind the stickiness of it, but then again I don't mind the Dazzleglasses either so I guess I don't mind some stick in my glosses. The lipstick would suit you better then!

    1. @Michaela It makes me feel so fierce :) Perhaps the gloss is more pink than the lippy? Not sure, but I like it!

  4. This is such a pretty colour on you! All my reds tend to fall in the blue based category, because I like they way they look against my skin. My only MAC red is Ladybug. But I'm starting to love the reds too so I'm sure it won't be the last!

    1. @Rachel thank you so much! Most of my reds are more berry than anything so this was a welcome addition to my collection. I haven't heard much about Ladybug, I think the name would be enough to make me buy it-so cute!
