Hello Z-land! Sorry I have been a naughty blogger lately but I do have a quick bit to share today.
I saw this little feature over at Refinery 29 on must have drugstore items by popular bloggers and thought it was interesting. You can click on the link to check it out. I'm definitely a fan of the St. Ives Apricot scrub but my zombie drugstore dig for you guys (even though I am not a popular blogger- ha!) is Revlon Matte Lipstick in the shade of 'Really Red'.

I read that Mad Men's head makeup artist loves this shade and I ran out and bought one. It's such a great Hollywood red. I like it even better than what Mac has to offer! It's definitely my go-to red lipstick. It goes on smooth, has lasting power, works great as a stain and it's my perfect shade! I pair it with Mac's cherry lip pencil. Think you can't wear red?
Think again. There's a shade for everyone. Maybe I'll do 'How to Pick a Red Lipstick' post soon. TGI Thursday everyone!
I read this post and then I went to Walgreen's to pick up some photos and decided to give this lipstick a whirl. I brought it home and compared it to my M.A.C. "Brave Red" lipstick and discovered that it's the exact same color, only "matte" instead of "creme sheen." Haha! Oh well, at least it's a good color on me, and the matte finish makes it appear slightly darker when I put it on because it doesn't reflect as much light. So now I just have to decide whether I want shiny, bright lips or dark, matte lips! I used to think red lipstick didn't look good on me but now I feel quite foxy with a classic red lip... there is a reason it has withstood the test of time more than any other beauty product!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny, Lilja!
