Collaboration Post - Red Lipstick Swatches

Everyone loves a red lipstick, right? Damn right! You must know I'm a bit obsessed with it of you've been reading my blog for a while. After a chit chat on ye olde Twitter, it was decided that Wendy would swatch all of her (many) purple shades, Robyn her oranges (since she owned most) and me all of my beloved reds. So then, lets get to it...

[[ Lots of red lippies! ]]

[[ Lancome 'Frambrosia', Clinique 'Wild Berry', Clinique 'Vintage Red', MAC 'Toxic Tale', MAC 'Port Red' ]]

Lancome 'Frambrosia' - A sheer red with pink sparkles.

Clinique 'Wild Berry' - A cool toned, slightly purple deep red.

Clinique 'Vintage Red' - A true Marilyn Monroe-esque red with a tinge of blue.

MAC 'Toxic Tale' (LE) - I wasn't sure if I should include this since it's more an orange-pink-red hybrid. Next to the others it looks almost bubble gum pink!

MAC 'Port Red' (LE)  - Port Red is a blue toned, frosty red, the most festive red in my collection! This was limited edition with MAC 'Naughty Nauticals' and flew off the shelves. MAC HQ actually tracked this down for me since it was sold out in stores - this was the last in their office!

[[ Maybelline 'Glamour Red' lip liner, ELF 'Voodoo', Rimmel 'Diva Red', MUA shade 13, 17 'Hot Chilli' ]]

Maybelline 'Glamour Red' - An all rounder suited to all types of red. Lasts well on the lips.

ELF 'Voodoo' - Swatches as a mauve, but on the lips it's more of a cool, brown toned red. 

Rimmel 'Diva Red' - My favourite! Bright as bright, glides on no problem. A true primary red.

MUA 'Shade 13' - The pinkest red in my collection, I hardly ever wear it since it doesn't suit warm, yellow skintones very much. At £1, you can't grumble, though!

17 'Hot Chilli' - A very orange toned, bright red, I love wearing this in Spring. Lasts ages and it so comfortable to wear.

[[ Kryolan - LC010, LC009, LC008, LC007, LC005 ]]

LC010 - Cool toned berry red.

LC009 - Cool toned deep red.

LC008 - Cool toned orange-red.

LC007 and LC005 are both orange, but I thought I'd include them anyway since they both look like neon reds in the pan.

I've posted a red lipstick 101 previously, so if you have any red lippy trouble please take a look - hopefully it will help! If anyone has any questions then please feel free to ask :) Oh, and it anyone has recommendations for any obnoxiously bright or deep vampy reds, please do tell!
