Kat Von D Hellbent Lipstick

Kat Von D Hellbent is the very first red lipstick that I own and it is responsible for my red lipstick craze :)

I absolutely love Kat's make up line <3 she designed her own packaging which is absolutely beautiful, on top of that, she actually wears she own products! I think she actually cares about her products and she's not just doing it for money, unlike other celebs who come up with a berjillion perfumes when they don't even wear them to start with. -.-"" 

The lipstick bullet is blood red, but when you apply it onto your lips, it is actually a dark raspberry color. Every time I put this lipstick on myself or my friends, we always receive a lot of compliments. ;) 

It is very long wearing and leaves a subtle pink stain once it wears off.  

The texture is very creamy and it is very pigmented. You can put on a thin layer for a stain effect or load it up for a gorgeous red pout. 

There is no nasty lipstick smell to it..only a faint typical lipstick smell 

Even though it is long lasting, after about 4-5 hours your lips will get dry. I usually just put some lip balm, blot, and dab on some more  

MAC Dubonnet Lipstick - Swatch

This is another gorgeous dark red lipstick from MAC, it is an amplified creme so you get loads of color payoff! Out of all the MAC lipstick finishes, my favorite ones are cremesheen and amplified creme. This is a lot darker than Dare You and does not have the shimmer that Dare You has. Since these lipsticks are so creamy, it is always better to use a liner to prevent feathering.. I usually apply a thin layer, blot, then apply another layer.. it really helps the lipstick stay on longer
