[Emmababy]

oh thora it CERTAINLY doesn't look that good on me, you look lovely

Do any of the UK ladies know of a good brick red colour lippy. Preferably in a lip stain as I hate it when my lipstick bleeds now Im no longer a youngster

i have found that my lipstick AND stain/gloss seem to bleed. no matter how much i base them with powder or concealer and use a good sturdy lip liner. i'm only 23 though. surely it shouldn't do this!?

 

[ShrinkingViolet]

Wow Thora, you look marvellous, you remind me of a French actress from the 1930s though I can't put my finger on who...
Arletty maybe?

 

[Sweet Polly Purebred]

Aww, thank you for the compliments!

Anyone love CVS

By me they sell a line called Milani. The stuff is awesome. Coming from me, that means something because I'll easily drop 20 buck on a mascara. Anyhow they have a lipstick called Moist Matte. The color is called Energizing. Its a beautiful orangey red and matte as can be, perfect forties lips! And its like $4

 

[anabolina]

Aww, thank you for the compliments!

Anyone have any idea where I can find this? I tried a CVS, Walmart (they didn't even carry Milani) and an Ulta. Now the areas at the CVS and Ulta are pretty small. I wonder if some stores have bigger sections and can stock the new moisture matte lipstick... What other stores sell Milani anyway.

MILANI COSMETICS

IVE ALWAYS BOUGHT THEM AT CVS. MAYBE YOU CAN TRY CVS.COM. ALSO ONE TIME I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ONLINE STORE THAT SOLD THEM AND THERE WAS ONE. JUST PUT A SEARCH FOR MILANI COSMETICS AND SEE WHAT COMES UP. I KNOW THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ONLINE STORE WITH DISCOUNT MAKEUP. I JUST DONT KNOW THE NAME BUT IT SELLS MILANI. KEEP LOOKING. MILANI IS MADE IN ITALY AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THERE PRODUCTS ARE AWESOME. IF IND SOME OF THEM TO BE BETTER THAN ITEMS I BOUGHT AT SEPHORA, MACYS, ETC... LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND IT!

Thanks for looking the site up for me gilda, and that's a good idea to look at CVS.com I just wish I could see the actual colors before I buy it....[huh]

I've seen Milani at Target, but I didn't go into a Target when I was in Texas so they might not have that line at your nearest store. Might be worth a phone call to your Target.

 

[Emmababy]

has anyone tried Chilli, Ladybug or Glam by MAC ?

 

[Pina Bridgette]

Emmababy: I haven't tried any of them but I think some of the ladies in the red lipstick thread have recommended it.

I was just posting one of my latest finds here and thought I might add it to this thread as well because I love seeing all the beautiful reds:

My Mac Matte 'Russian Red'

Mac's Amplified 'Chatter Box'

I recently got Mac's Matte 'Pink Plaid' and it's by far my favourite of all the shades of lipstick I've tried. I don't have any photos as of yet though. I'm much more into peachy complexion than reds - I find them a little too harsh for my pale, rosy skin. Afraid I don't have any better pictures than those.

 

[lyburnum]

Mac's matte 'Pink Plaid' as mentioned before. I love love love this lippy, but always make sure I coat my lips with nivea lip balm first, otherwise it dries out my lips.

Lovely! Is it a matte shade? I went looking for a matte pink at the MAC store a few months back and they didn't have anything good. Is this a new shade?

 

[lyburnum]

Yup it's matte. I got this lippy about... a month ago I think?
