For a person who doesn't like looking too over the top for everyday, I sure do love me a red lip (as my growing collection would surely indicate)
As you may have seen in this haul, I picked up a Revlon lipstick in a deal at Boots (spend £9.99 and get a ColourBurst Matte Balm free, seriously it would have been offensive to refuse that). I picked up Really Red as I had read on many reviews of it that it was a dupe of Mac's Russian Red, me being Miss Stingey I can't verify that as I haven't splashed out and bought any Mac lipsticks (commence the mob of beauty bloggers coming after me with pitchforks)
The packaging is really nice and classy, it's very basic but it's nice all the same. It's a matte lipstick, but amazingly this isn't drying at all for the most part (at about the 7-8 hour mark, it started to feel a little dry but not too badly). It didn't cling to any dry patches, although I make an effort to exfoliate my lips and balm up those bad boys before applying lipstick in general so there weren't really dry patches to be clung onto.

As you can hopefully see, it's really pigmented (perhaps not a colour for the faint-hearted) - as the name would suggest, it is indeed 'Really Red'. It's a blue-toned red so it makes your teeth appear slightly whiter, although don't expect to put it on and instantly become Simon Cowell.
Overall, I absolutely love this product - I actually think it's my favourite matte red lipstick that I own (not that I own loads, but I do now own a fair few).

it's seriously pigmented, and i didn't really find it drying until 7-8 hours later but i still think that's pretty good going!
DeleteThe Revlon lipsticks look so high end for the price! I love MUA's red lipstick, it feels really nice on the lips and is well pigmented and it's only a pound! x

DeleteI shy away from reds but i do love a matte colour. The colour isn't as scary as the name suggests lol

matte lipsticks are really lovely, and i used to shy away from reds but once i started wearing them i really couldn't stop haha (it's becoming a real problem now)
DeleteOoo this looks gorgeous! I tend to shy away from bright reds but my fave is Rimmel Kate Moss 107 which is perfect for this time of year so you really should pick it up! :) xx
ReplyDeleteit really is, and ah i've seen so many people talking about it and i really want to try it but i haven't quite caved yet (give it a week or two) - thanks for commenting!
DeleteI picked this up about a month ago and I absolutely love it! I want to try more shades from this range :) I really like MAC Russian Red and Revlon Balm Stain in Crush as my go-to reds, including Really Red :)
