Hello lipstick lovers!
So this week I thought I would write a small feature on a few lipsticks which I am loving at the moment. And with Valentine's day approaching, a statement crimson or 'vampy' plum shade would be the perfect finishing touch to any outfit if you are planning a night of love-hearts and romance.
Okay, so Valentine's day aside, I have to say that I do have quite a fondness towards a red or berry lip and it's safe to say I have quite a few of the rouge tints lurking in my make-up bag. Like a classic 'Little Black Dress' there's nothing more chic than a pop of red on the lips! Slick on the red stuff and you're set for the day! Who doesn't feel boosted with bold, look-at-me lips? And no matter what your skin tone you can always find your perfect shade of red. In my opinion a red lip will never go out of fashion!

If you are looking for a flirty and vibrant shade this Valentine's day, then this is the one for you! L'Oreal lipsticks never disappoint and this shade in particular will sure as hell get you noticed. Definitely not one for the faint hearted as this colour is quite a bright matte red, and almost appeared neon on my lips. For pale ladies, like myself, this shade would be perfect for you! And with the very lovely Blake Lively's name attached to this product you kinda have to buy it, don't you? Undoubtedly a 'Va Va Voom' lippie.
If you want to make a statement, this blackberry shade is the one for you. Rimmel's moisture renew lipstick does exactly what is says on the packaging. It is extremely hydrating and moisturising, while also packing a 'vampy' pigment punch. The photo above definitely doesn't do it justice. The shade is quite a lot darker on my lips and is very long-lasting. Shout out to my boyfriend's sister for making me aware of my, now, new favourite lipstick! (Thanks Oonagh!)
Okay, so I've only ever owned two Chanel lipsticks in my lifetime, and yes, they can burn a hole in your pocket. But if you are looking for a lipstick that will last forever AND make you feel like a 1950's film star then quick-march to your nearest Chanel beauty counter now! To put it simply, I love this lipstick! The shade is easy to wear, the colour glides on so easily and of course the packaging looks uber-luxe. So if you want to treat yourself (or start hinting at your loved one) I would strongly advise adding a Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick to your make-up collection.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post!
So, what shade of scarlet are you applying this month of love? Let me know!
