Getting red-y for Christmas

Now we all know that Christmas is the time to bring out some red. Whether it's with a traditional red lip or red blusher or even red eyeshadow.

(L to R)MUA luxe matte lipgloss, L'oreal color riche serum lipstick, Nars eyeshadow, MUA matte lipstick, Nars multiple and Nars lipgloss.
(L to R)Nars Bloodwork, Nars Beverly Hills, L'oreal Radiant orange, MUA reckless, MUA Scarlett Siren and Nars Grenadines.

 I've got two red lipsticks to show you, one matte and one glossy. And they are both very affordable . The first one is MUA matte lipstick in scarlet siren. This is  is only £1 and it is very pigmented and not too drying for a matte finish.

The next lipstick is a l`oreal color riche serum lipstick in radiant orange. This is £8, it is very moisturising as the serum in the name would suggest . It is very pigmented, it is a orangey red which is great because I feel that it really warms up the complexion.

The next red thing I love is this lipgloss from Nars in Bloodwork it is very pigmented and not sticky at all. It is £17.50.

This one is the MUA luxe matte lipgloss and it is lovely and super cheap it is only £3 but I must say it is hard to apply and when it sets, it is very hard to correct your mistake as you may be able to see in the picture, so sorry for the messy application. It feels a little uncomfortable on the lips because it is matte but for £3 you can't go wrong.

This is a Nars multiple which I think is limited edition but I just had to include it. It is in the colour Beverly Hills, it is very nice and it it is quite sheer so it is great on your cheeks.

The last thing I have to show you is a Nars eyeshadow in Grenadines which I love. Now red may scare some people to put on your eyes but it is actually very pretty. You could also wear this as a blush if you use a light hand and it would give you a lovely natural flush.
