Pulling out my festive red lipsticks because it just seems like the right thing to do, ya know?
I am totally embracing that cliché 'gold eyes and red lips for Christmas' that seems to be around at this time of the year. I am quite fond of wearing gloss during the hotter seasons so will probably save these traditional lipstick shades for a night out or the cooler evenings when we have festive drinks at our place. Here is what I am showcasing today!

Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple
Australis Go Long Longwear Lipstick in Diva*
Lancôme Rouge in Love 163M Dans Ses Bras (In His Arms)* (original post is here)
Lacura Beauty 370
Maybelline 645 Red Revival
BYS Matte Lipstick in Celebrity Status*
The Body Shop Colourglide Shine in 12*
I adore the feeling of the Lancôme Rouge in Love in 163M Dans Ses Bras (In His Arms)* because it applies so smoothly which is a treat when it comes to red lipsticks. The most exciting shade in this line up for me at the moment is The Body Shop Colourglide Shine in 12* but why oh why do pretty glittery and glossy colours like this not have a cute and memorable name to match? Numbers don't work for me, I need to connect with my shades on a personal level, ya feel me? Anyone else feel the same?

For a glossy lip look this season I am definitely going to turn to my Nars gloss mini's that I bought from Mecca Maxima a year or two ago - the Nars gloss formula is my favourite, and I'm fond of a wee sheer red that won't melt in my handbag at family BBQ's! As an aside - do any of my readers keep their lipsticks in the fridge when the heat hits? Would really love to hear how you cope with lipsticks in the heat!
Do you despise numbered lipstick shades, or does the name of a colour mean little to you?
How do you take care of your lipsticks in the hot weather?
