Christmas red lips

Now as you all know it is nearly Christmas and along with lots of other festive things I also associate a red lip with Christmas. So I thought I would show you my favourite red lip products.
L to R (Gift, YSL, Mac, Nars, Avon, Benefit)
This first one by far has the nicest packaging, I did get this as a gift though so unfortunately I don't know the exact name but I do remember something to do with Paloma Picasso like a promotion saying it was her signature red lip but don't quote me on that. It is a really pretty pinky red.




This is Yves Saint Laurent gloss volupte lipstick in 3. As the name suggests it is very glossy but I personally love that, it is pretty sheer so it gives a nice red flush to the lips.
(My sister gave me a sample so that is 
why the packaging is slimmer)

This isn't exactly the classic red that everyone associates with Christmas but I absolutely love this lipstick so I had to include it. It is a orangey coraly red. It is MACs frost lipstick in CB96 and although people usually say frost formula's are drying I haven't found this one drying at all.



   
    
 

Now this one isn't a lipstick but it is as pigmented as a lipstick, if more. Nars lipgloss in bloodwork is probably my favourite red lip to wear and as you all know nars lipglosses aren't sticky at all. It is a beautiful blood red.



Avon ultra colour rich in country rose is really nice, it is moisturising and goes on smoothly and very pigmented. It also has a very nice fruity smell. It is as the name suggests a rose colour.

















(This is a sample that is why the tube is smaller)
Benefits benetint is great if you are worried when eating your Christmas roast you will get your lipstick all over your face, because it is a lip stain. It isn't very pigmented but if you apply a few layers then you can get a good enough red lip colour.
