ground covered in snow... lips red as blood...

Okay, so not exactly true to Snow White's story...
but winter time always makes me want to put on red lipstick.



What I use to achieve mine...

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Crimson - 
 
  • has got to be the most pigmented, smooth, even, and vibrant drugstore lipstick I've ever bought. And maybe not even drugstore, maybe just EVER. (Hands down my holy grail perfect deep and vibrant red lipstick)
  • no taste or smell
  • complements my NC25 skin tone (which basically means I'm very pale with red/pink undertones)
  • with a lip liner or stain on underneath, (which I always use, just haven't found one that I think is super great) this sucker lasts! 

Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in Fire -
  • on it's own, it very pigmented and vibrant
  • long lasting
  • thick, but by no means gloopy or overly sticky
  • a bit drying
  • not glittery or shimmery - jelly finish
  • no taste, but smells the slightest bit like paint..
