Benefit Full Finish Lipstick "Flirt Alert"

This is a classic cherry red lipstick with a lovely formula. It applies really smoothly, has a glossy sheen and feels so moisturising, which is great for people like me who have dry lips. With this there is no need for gloss as it seems to be more like a gloss/lipstick hybrid. As I said in my review for "Do Tell" full finish lipstick, they are so much like MAC slimshines, however MAC discontinued them which was so disappointing, so I am glad to have found Benefit full finish lipsticks as they are a good dupe in both formula and packaging! The downside is that this actually dyed my skin a little as it is so pigmented, and with it being such a bright colour that is not what you want. I needed to remove this lipstick with make up remover, which is good in terms of longevity on the lips, but not so good when you want to take it off! I would definitely buy more of these lipsticks!

China Glaze Holiday '10 Ruby Deer

This was from the holiday 2010 collection. This is a really gorgeous and bright pinky red, probably one of my favourites! It is a plain colour, it has no sparkle in it, so for those who get sick of shimmer, this would be a good simple colour. It is thick in formula and very pigmented, so you don't need a whole lot on. This is also a very glossy colour, and I found it stayed glossy for longer then most of my varnishes! If you love your reds, I'd say it was one for your collection.
