This post is a strict reminder to myself that I'm not allowed to buy red-reds anymore. ANYMORE, I say.
L-R: Guerlain Rouge G Garconne (worn here), Dior Ara Red #999 (worn here), Burberry Military Red No. 310 (worn here), Dolce & Gabbana Iconic (worn here), Rouge d'Armani #400 (worn here), Rouge Bunny Rouge Raw Silence (worn here), Bite Pomegranate (worn here), Chanel Rouge Allure Laque Dragon (worn here), Ellis Faas L201 (worn here)
I can't believe I've previously shown every single one on the blog. Also, Military Red reflects less light compared to the other shades. Is that why it appears matte on our lips?
So pretty! I have a similarly large collection of reds - I know I've reviewed about 15 on my blog, and then I have another 8 or so drugstore ones that I've swatched but not reviewed. Perhaps I will assemble them someday for a photo, but I'm a bit scared to know how many I have!
ReplyDeleteI think I should probably stop buying red lipstick too :/
Also, I like your blog makeover :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emi! I have a bunch of other reds that I missed, probably. And other nuances... Currently concentrating on vamps
DeleteOh my gosh, they are all so freaking gorgeous! Red lips really look good on you Xiao - you should wear it all the time! :)
ReplyDeleteI really should wear it more often than I do, but it's such a hassle to maintain
Deletemilktea said... aww.. there are only 9 red-reds here (not enough!) and they're all gorgeous! btw, didn't you get a traditional red lippy from your Kyoto, Japan haul too?
ReplyDeleteI did! I wonder where that went - I totally forgot about it. Just goes to show that I really shouldn't get
Deletemore though :(
All are beautiful! Which would you say are your favorites?
ReplyDeleteGuerlain Garconne for the shine, Burberry Military Red for semi-matte, Chanel for liquid!
DeleteGuerlain Garconne is the best!!! (ok it is the only lipstick i own from your list but it is a good choice :)
DeleteI love this post. I've been meaning to find the perfect red for fall and you've definitely helped me narrow down my choices.
ReplyDelete=P All the reds are so very close enough!
ReplyDeleteEeep. I think my own stash looks very similar! XD So...no more reds for me, either. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteJust red-reds! Not... you know, other reds.
DeleteOh Xiao, I can't believe you're doing this to me! I just started getting into reds, and you have to put a bazillion lipsticks on my wish list? THIS IS NOT EVEN FAIR LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's an elaborate plan to get you to the finish line asap! ;)
DeleteUgh, your reds collection <3 I need more moody/vampy reds! Most of mine have either been discontinued or are too warm/bright for what I've been wanting to wear recently.
ReplyDeleteNice collection... I just started wearing red, and started with cheaper drugstore brands first to test the waters and see what type of reds I like. By looking at your collection, I think we may have similar taste in reds. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you want to read and see some of the drugstore reds, check out my blog entry, red sexy lips, get yo sexy on. kekeke I was kind of blown away by the drugstore brand qualities!
I'm gonna have to try out the Dior and the Bite one too.
I have Garconne, and I keep telling myself I don't need more reds because I never wear them, but that Rouge d'Armani is calling to me...as is the Burberry, of course.
ReplyDeleteIt's like Halloween candy. I don't eat them, but I want to (and eventually) buy them anyway.
DeleteWow...look at all those pretty reds! LOVE!!! :D
ReplyDeleteNot to be an enabler, but you look so pretty in red lipstick! Not everyone can wear reds as well as you do. Lovely collection. I think I need to check out the new Burberry Lip Velvet formula.
ReplyDeleteEven more than the paper swatches, the arm swatches look so pretty! You do really wear them well.
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog format.
I think Larie would disagree :p.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I need that Rouge d'Armani in my life!
That Ellis Faas looks very creamy and interesting!! I don't really wear red lipstick but I think you look so sexy in red lips!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing with red lips. It inspired me to venture outside of my comfort zone and try it out! I have a few reds now, but I keep gravitating towards the same kind of red. I'm trying to stop myself from buying more, but.. maybe after I take a look at the new Burberry lippies.. :3
ReplyDeleteYou also once posted a pic of yourself in a LMDB Neiman exclusive red-a lip creme I believe, it's in my bathroom, I am too lazy to go get it. At any rate, you put the posting on your blog and I picked it up while on vacation, by the pool with my husband and two children. It was so stunning I got up, used the hotel's car service to rush over to Neiman Marcus and get the lip color, so there are definitely more reds you have left out! Lol
ReplyDeleteI love that you guys know my stash better than I do :P
DeleteI decree (with my minimal powers) that you can have as many red lipsticks as your heart desires... because nobody rocks red lips like my Xiao. :D
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely gorgeous with red.
ReplyDeleteHi! Lovely colors. Which one has more staying power, Burberry or Giorgio Armani? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic post about your collection! I love how you showcase each item with such passion. It’s inspiring to see someone curate their stash with such care and creativity. The personal stories behind each piece really bring them to life. Keep sharing your unique finds—I can't wait to see what else you have in store. caroline sex crimes lawyer
