Current Favorite Lip : The Vampy Red

I have about a billion reds in my collection; some are fire engine red, some lighter, some darker, but one thing I can never get enough of is the vampy red. I love a deep dark burgundy red on the lips, it's just the right amount of sultry and mysterious. If you know me by now, then you know I have way more of this color than I should, but I've managed to narrow down my 3 favorites of the moment.



This lipstick is one of my favorites and it's only $1. It's an LA Colors lipstick in the shade Luscious Wine and the formula is super creamy. It isn't as long wearing as some of my other reds, but I've never been one to complain about touching up my lipstick.



This is my all time favorite vampy red color (at least right now!). It's a Wet n' Wild lipstick in the shade Dark Wine so it's super affordable and you can find it at pretty much any drugstore. The formula is super creamy but really pigmented so it wears really well.



This one almost got missed, but I saw it in the bottom of my handbag at the last minute. If we're talking vampy reds I have to mention Kate's lipstick in 107. It's a deep dark burgundy color, perfect for fall/winter and super holiday appropriate.



 Lastly, I'm pairing all my favorite dark reds with this NYX lip pencil in the shade Auburn. I am a huge fan of NYX lip pencils as they are super long-wearing and super affordable. NYX also has a super wide range of colors which makes it easy to find a color to pair with my vast range of lipsticks.

Let me know what some of your favorite vampy red lipsticks are in the comments below!

    Gorgeous shades I love deep reds and how striking it looks on the lips. Such a crowd pleaser :)

    Great review! Rimmel lipsticks, esp Kate's rage smell so nice!

    I'm a huge red fan as well — especially the darker wine tones! That Wet and Wild one looks so amazing!

    Also, I can't believe you can get a lipstick in LA for only $1!! Wish that were true where I'm from!

    I love the wine themed names of the first two selections! The "luscious wine" color is pretty and seems like a fantastic deal. I usually don't wear darker reds, but perhaps I'll give it a try for Fall.

      I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty sure my subconscious bought those BECAUSE of their names haha. The Luscious Wine is super pretty and a total steal! I think you totally need to try a dark red this Fall, you would look amazing in that lip color! Have a wonderful weekend gorgeous! XO -Kim

    Hahahaha, Rainbow, I adore you, you always make me smile. I will keep it in mind as a future blog post, but to be honest I have way too much stuff and should probably be getting rid of half of it! Have a wonderful weekend my kind, beautiful friend! XO -Kim
