LIPSTICK DIARY: WHAT I WORE THAT DAY
Meet the Chris Hemsworth of red lipsticks. The Ryan Gosling. The Theo James. The Chris Evans. *swoon*
I am so cheating on fuchsia right now. With this gorgeous, heart-stopping vibrant red, how could I not? This is the Chris Hemsworth of red lipsticks. The Ryan Gosling. The Theo James. The Chris Evans. It's a hot, hot, hot star. And it's a drugstore buy.
Any excuse...
I know how great Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in 875 Gladiolus ($10.99 at well.ca and $9.99 at target.com) looks on Emma Stone. So I thought, hey -- that'll work for a nice Kisses4Canfar Insta-shot. Midway through the first swipe, though, I did a double-take. What the –?
The Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick is a gel-based, no-wax formula that glides on in an instantly beautiful, boldly pigmented sweep. Some lipsticks need some build-up to deliver a clean, bright intensity -- not Revlon Ultra HD. If you're the type who automatically uses a fairly heavy pressure back-and-forth-back-and-forth-back-and-forth to apply lipstick, you'll want to think about changing your technique. Revlon Ultra HD is not your average lipstick, never mind your average drugstore lipstick.
Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in 875 Gladiolus -- if you don't already have this colour, why not??
And this colour, Gladiolus, a slightly warm red... I love it so much that today it was my consolation prize after I tried a red lip tint that revealed itself as a muddy, flatters-no-one dull brick (Sephora Rouge Infusion in #10 Red Essence -- avoid.) I removed the offending shade (it offended our Liza Herz, too!) and practically crowed with delight at the excuse to revisit Gladiolus. After all, it's the Chris Hemsworth/Theo James/Chris Evans of red lipsticks.

Do you already have a Revlon Ultra HD lippie or two? Gladiolus, maybe? I know some of you declared it a must-have as soon as photos of Emma Stone at the SAG Awards hit -- and it really, really is exactly that. If you love red or have never worn red before, this Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick is a winner.
