One Red Lipstick, Four Versions

              

Let's face it. At every given time, there are a bunch of girls who are afraid of wearing red lipstick. Especially in India. I mean, it's definitely getting better, but there was a time people said 'Ooh so bright' when I wore MAC Crosswires [last year]! So it took me a while, but I finally got a red lipstick- MAC Ruby Woo and it took me an year to start wearing it outside! (Not proud, don't look at me like that!) But the good news is that I've found ways to wear a red lip. Other than a.. err.. a normal red lip, primarily using One Red Lipstick. Trust me, these are comparivuely easier to wear and ease you into wearing a red lip, also, my brother doesn't goo "ewww" when he sees some of these, so apparently it's socially acceptable too! And the best part is that at the end of the day, you are wearing a red lip! Please note, this is definitely not a post on how I tone down bright colours. Read this post is you'd like to see the different ways of wearing a bright lip colour.

You like BIG things? MAC BRICK-O- LA ~Review & Swatches

I have a thing for all things brick.
I like bricks in general. Duh. I'm an architect.
I like bricks of ice-cream. The bigger the better, no?
I like big things. No this isn't a special super-sized MAC lipstick. :) This is just a super-sized beautiful colour to paint your pout! Quite a mouthful? Let this paint your full mouth! You know, I'm totally losing it! :P


I actually got this for my mum on Mother's day. :D But she had one already :P But being the doting daughter, I gifted it to her anyway.
Its another story that I took her Brick-o-La. :P


Price: Rs 990

Colour & Finish: MAC describes it as a Mid toned Berry. It is a beautiful colour. Very polished. Dresses up the entire look. It has enough colour of a brick in it and enough brown. This has enough pink in it so it doesn't get too serious! :)

Brick-O-La is an Amplified creme. This is my favourite finish from MAC. So pigmented. A full blast of colour! 

Other thoughts:

This is a colour that would suit just about anyone. Any colour, any age.

It looks brilliant on my mum and looks polished on me. This is not a regular colour for me. It works for all formal occasions.

Lasts for around 4 hours on me. Which is a lot considering nothing lasts long on me.

It was super sunny when I took this picture and hence the colour has been altered. There's more pink in it.

Edit: Adding more pictures. :)

INDOOR

INDOOR- In front of the window!:P

This is the darkest lipstick I own. I never thought I'd love it like I do now!

Totally recommend this to everybody! I have a hunch you'll love it just as much as I do! :)


I've worn Brick-o-la mixed with MAC Cosmo here.
