Red Lips

Or at least, as red as I dare. I’m so lipstick shy, someone recommend me some cheap but decent colours to experiment with!

The lipstick I’m wearing today is Barcelona Red by MAC,
I usually stick to Angel and Blankety which are also MAC colours. Now we’re in to sunnier days (not that you’d know it, looking out the window this morning) I feel like I want to branch out.

  1. I love this colour on you. I never wear any bright colours either I always think they look funny on me but my friends tell me its just because I am not used to it.

  2. beautiful color- you could use some coral too, it would match your skin color beautifully. I love Lancome’s Orange Sari & you can find it for a low price on ebay πŸ™‚

  3. Barcelona Red looks great on your lips, it’s a soft red shade that never is “too much”.
    It looks a bit similar to MAC Viva Glam Cyndi.
    You look great today! I wish you a happy day!

  4. I had to laugh at your comment on my blog. Of course I would not hate you cos you swear a lot. I would hate to swear myself I cannot stand the way it sounds. My hubby swears and I tell him off lol xx

  5. Have a look at Boots Natural Collection for cheap, nice lippies. I have Cherry Red which is a fab shade and I think they were on 3 for Β£5 last time – for that price you can’t go wrong!

    Thank you SO much for the lovely card and present. You are such a sweetheart.

  16. I think red can suit everyone but it’s just a case of finding the red that suits you, which you have done really well.

  17. This really suits you. xx

  18. Oooh I love this lippie on you! I’d definately try Avon if you have a local rep or you can always order online. They have a wide range of colours, they’re really moisturising and each month a different range is on offer so you can normally get them for around Β£4 each.

  33. Hey lovely,
    Cant recomend lipstick as I rarely wear it, usually just lip gloss for me but that colour really suits you. xx

  34. no no forget about cheap lipsticks when you buy a lipstick you want to find one that you’ll want to wear always. so i would highly recommend Chanel’s Hydrating CrΓ¨me Lip. or Georgio Armani. spend a afternoon in Selfridges trying a few shades on. have fun!

  35. I love this color, red but not too bright, it’s a must-try!

  41. Hello gorgeous! I love this colour on you πŸ™‚ I am a big fan of the Dainty Doll, lipsticks, the colours are gorgeous and do last well but they are expensive. To experiment with colours, definitely go for natural collection, they don’t last very well but they’re moisturising and pretty colours too πŸ™‚
