Perfect Red Lipstick: Lancôme Red Chiffon



Omg!!!! The red lipstick for girls who are afraid of red lipsticks!  I had a $20 Nordy's note to use at my pleasure.  Sure, I'm a Lancôme Girl through and through.  I'm not gonna lie, I love being on payroll with such a fab French company.  But on my down time, on my off days... I can wear whatever makeup I choose. And I did get lured by that black and gold case with the interlocking CC's... I wanted a Chanel Coco Rouge Shine in Boheme so, so, so badly.  

But you know what?  I ended up choosing Lancôme over Chanel!  Not because I was getting paid... but because I like the formula so much more!  It isn't as sheer and the color is just that perfect fresh red!  Like a ripe strawberry!  And when I put it on the moisture is like a burst.  It's lightweight and sheer but bright.  It's not long lasting (moisturizing formulas never are unfortunately) but it seems to fade evenly.  This makes re-application a lot easier.  It's so hard to describe but I definitely want a backup and another few in different shades!  I know it's going to get discontinued, sadly.  I hope they reconsider this decision.  It's the only red lipstick I have ever been able to apply without a mirror!  Even B likes it and he hates red lipstick.    And the case is so cute with the roses.  I like how there is a magnetic click to it as well.  Retail will run you 30 dollars.  Expensive?  Hell to the yeah.  I'm telling you it's totally worth the splurge!!!!
