My third and last bold look for the Westfield #BareFacedOrBold Makeup Challenge is my favourite of them all: a warm brown smokey eye with popping red lips.

A red lip is pretty much a must in my daily life, day or night. However, some mornings, the ritual of lining, applying with brush and fixing is just a bit too lengthy for my sleepy head – enter the Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm to give me that red lip in a jiffy!
Lip biting: MAC’s Rocky Horror Picture Show collection
Even without counting in my undying love of the slightly freaky, there are too many reasons why I will fall in love with MAC’s latest limited edition collection, Rocky Horror Picture Show: there are four, yes, I said four, red lipsticks on offer.
Review: Maleficent by MAC True Love’s Kiss Lipstick
After so much anticipation, the Maleficent by MAC launched in the UK on the 15 May. I had already set my little wish list and was determined to get my claws on a few items.
As soon as I received their email saying the collection was available, I went online and placed an order for the lipstick – which was the item I really wanted), the lip liner and some lashes.
Product review: GOSH Lip Lacquer
Being a lipstick lover, I didn’t really think I’d give a lipgloss a lot of time. Oh, I had no idea how wrong I could be before I found the new GOSH Lip Lacquer.
They come in 8 lovely shades, from sheer to great coverage colour, from nudes and corals to pinks and reds – a colour for every pucker out there. And when they say colour like a lipstick, shine like a gloss, they weren’t lying!
A red a day – a liptastic week
Monday to Friday, from the top
My love of red lipstick is nothing new. If you know me, you know that you are very likely to find me wearing red lipstick – day or night. I just feel more like myself wearing it.
I am not sure when I rekindled my affair with lipstick. Think I talked about it here before. The 90’s and 00’s for me were really all about lipgloss. In a way, it was a blessing as my eyes were usually smeared with blue. My make up abilities came a looong way.
Lipgloss was the thing to have on your lips at the time. Everyone had bare, shiny lips, it looked like we had eaten greasy spare ribs and didn’t wipe our mouths. Please don’t take these comments as a “I am never wearing lipgloss again”. Far from it, I may dabble with it again, but since I got a proper flush of colour on my lips, it is really hard to let go.
Obviously, I amassed a small collection of it and have a couple favourites (one of them, actually doesn’t feature!), but love them all (almost) equally.
The past week, I noticed I wore red lipstick for work everyday of the week, so “a red a day” just kinda happened. Apologies as the pictures are not brilliant, I cropped my “outfit of the day” images…
On Monday, I wore MAC Red, on Tuesday So Chaud, on Wednesday, Lady Bug, on Thursday Ruby Woo and on Friday, Lady Danger, all From MAC. My beloved Russian Red will have to wait for another week!
Have to say, I prefer the matte ones, purely for the staying power, but I won’t dismiss any red, after all, I am certain that life in red is more fun – at least mine is.
