Review: MAC Russian Red

Oh MAC Russian Red, you were my dream for so long, and you became a reality at Christmas. Today I have some swatches for you, because I only really have first impressions. My major first impression though is that I love this lipstick. When applied correctly it lasted me through Christmas lunch (and then I took it off to play with my Chanel Lipstick).

MAC Russian Red is a gorgeous vampy red, which is very close to a true red on me. The matte finish means that it lasts longer than MAC Red, although personally I do like the colour of MAC Red a tiny bit better. It applies so softly and smoothly though, it doesn't feel supremely waxy like some matte formulas. This one is a definite winner, no wonder it is always on the "Top Red Lipstick" lists!

My Christmas Face. That expains the crazy bright smile haha.
