I just love red lipstick. I think it is the whole retro thing but it amazes me how in the 40's and 50's a woman would wear red lipstick with everything and it always looked great.
The problem is, red lipstick can be a pain. At least for me. But that doesn't mean that I don't still get seduced by a new color or formulation every so often. Despite the fact that they linger in my make-up case for months.

Don't you just love the contrast and don't her lips look so pretty?
I've bought red lipstick from Revlon to Chanel and then I just never use it. But I may have a new option that can convert me into puckering up more often.
It's NARS lip gloss in Bloodwork
They say this lip gloss is pigment-rich and they aren't kidding. I had no idea how bright this stuff was until I got it home and tried it on.
Whoa, Baby!
This is screen-siren red! What is great about it is this is not a sheer gloss. It is very opaque. And the color is described as red vinyl and that is spot on. Being a gloss helps it to go on very easily. You can just swipe it on and be all sex-ah or you can blot it to matte it down and give you perfect carmine lips.
I blotted it when I put it on this morning and then topped it with a sheer sparkly brown-ish gloss. It was very wearable.
It would also be great for leaving red lipstick kisses on collars, necks and sealed letters.
Available at Sephora- $23
