They have a hard time keeping these products in stock so if you have the chance to pick them up I say get them. Especially if you like long lasting matte red lips.

Hello Beauties! I'm here with another post to share my favorite red lipsticks (with one lip stain and one gloss lol). It's no secret I LOVE RED LIPSTICK!! Especially matte red lipstick as most of the lipsticks in this post have a matte, semi-matte, or satin finish. It is my favorite shade of lipstick and I wear it every chance I get. Pink lipstick comes in a close second so be on the lookout for that post. On to the lovely red lipsticks, enjoy!

The Lipsticks

From left to right: 

*Sephora Cream Lip Stain - Always Red

This is found under the lipgloss category on Sephora but to me it's more like a lipstick than a lip gloss. This is my ultimate favorite of the bunch. It dries completely matte, once it sets it DOES NOT budge and the color stays vibrant for a really long time. I take this off with my makeup remover and it does not stain my lips. I also really love the smell (it reminds me of cherry coke).

*MAC Pro Longwear Lipglass - Driven By Love

This is the one lip gloss of the bunch, I have a few other red lip glosses but this one by far is my favorite. It is really opaque. It can be wore alone or on top of a red lipstick. I typically wear this paired with a red lip pencil. 

*MAC Lipstick - Ruby Woo

This lipstick is a gorgeous blue based red with a retrograde matte finish. This is a really popular shade so as you may already know it is a pain to work with and it is very drying on the lips. Despite that it is a gorgeous color and if you aren't afraid of a challenge you will love it. 

*MAC Lipstick - Russian Red

Now this is my favorite red lipstick. I like this one way more than I do Ruby Woo. It is more yellow based than blue based and it's way easier to work with. 

*MAC Mattene Lipstick - Eden Rouge

This is one of my newer shades. I went back and forth with this lipstick because I feel like it's really similar to shades I already own. Be that as it may I really like this lipstick since it's semi-matte it is not as drying.

*Wet-N-Wild Mega Last Lip Color - 911D Spotlight Red

This $2.99 lipstick is just as fabulous as the other lipsticks featured. It is just as vibrant as the others and I love it just the same.

*Revlon Super Lustrous Matte Lipstick - Fabulous Fig

I would call this the odd ball of the group. It is the only wine color of the bunch. I purchased this at the beginning of the fall season and I instantly fell in love. I wear this when I want a bit of color but not a loud vivid amount color.
