Introducing: Soul Tree Ayurvedic Natural Makeup & Toiletries

Thursday, 28 April 2022

Soultree Ayurvedic Natural Makeup & Toiletries
Soul Tree is a natural brand that's been on my radar for quite some time as its products are inspired by ethical and ayurvedic formulas. Soul Tree is also big on using organic ingredients and is in fact, the very first Indian natural brand to carry European certifications for its ingredients.

I don't see many Indian brands that have caused such a buzz on the green beauty scene as Soul Tree have. From their super slick packaging to their wide range of products that are handmade using age-old traditional Ayurvedic methods, Soul Tree is definitely one that you can really enjoy exploring.

I've been testing out several of their products recently and wanted to introduce you to some of my new favourites.

Soultree Ayurvedic Natural Makeup & Toiletries
Dry skin? Try Soul Tree Hand & Foot Cream (100g, £14.03)
Rescue dry skin with Soul Tree's wonderful multi-purpose Hand & Foot Cream. Featuring active botanicals, this intensive care cream formula is packed with natural anti-oxidants and rich moisturising ingredients such as Kokum Butter and an organic triple blend of oils from Sesame, Coconut, and Apricot. I love the addition of Honey, Aloe, and Turmeric to help soften and smooth dry skin.

Pamper yourself with Soul Tree Indian Rose & Cooling Vetiver Shower Gel (250ml, £11.29)
Enjoy a luxury shower experience at home thanks to Soul Tree's Indian Rose & Cooling Vetiver Shower Gel. Not only does this look beautiful in your bathroom, but it has a delicate rose scent that I feel most people will love, even if rose isn't typically your favourite scent as this one is quite unusual. The SLS and soap-free formula is brilliant for sensitive skin that needs a gentle touch.

Soultree mascara and eyeliner kajal review
Sensitive eyes? Try Soul Tree Ayurvedic Mascara (6g, £16.99) and Pure Black Kajal (3g, £14.20)

Soul Tree has a great range of natural makeup that looks chic in your makeup bag and performs effortlessly well. Their Ayurvedic Mascara delivers a natural-looking, lightweight, and clump-free result on the lashes, with a nasties-free formula that also helps to strengthen and nourish them. It's absolutely perfect for everyday wear! 

For some added drama in the evenings, pair it with the Pure Black Kajal; a true Indian kajal eyeliner that is made to a 3000-year-old Ayurvedic traditional recipe. The liner is richly pigmented and glides on so smoothly, with added moisturising properties for dry and sensitive eyes.

soultree lipstick and lip balm review
Treat yourself to Soul Tree Hibiscus & Honey Lip Balm (3.5g, £9.33) and Lipstick in Wild Honey (4g, £15.59)
My last two favourites come from Soul Tree's range of lipsticks and lip balms, both of which I highly recommend checking out. The Hibiscus & Honey Lip Balm is one of the best natural lip balms that I've ever tried. It's like smooth butter on the lips and completely eradicates any dryness. I also find that I'm not constantly reapplying it as a soft layer stays on the lips for longer.

I love the Lipstick in Wild Honey which has a similar list of ingredients to the lip balm, yet has a beautiful modern matte finish. The pigmentation truly blew me away as well! Most natural lippies struggle with this, but Soul Tree has really nailed it to perform just like a regular mainstream lipstick, but without the nasties.

Green Beauty: LoveLula Beauty Box - November 2021 review

Saturday, 27 November 2021

 

Filled with exciting green beauty products from a wide range of natural and cruelty-free brands, the LoveLula Beauty subscription boxes are a pleasure to receive every month!

November's edit is worth £55 and includes all of the following beauty goodies for you to try out.

Organic Works Cleansing Face Wash

Fortified with Vitamin E, the Organic Works Cleansing Face Wash comes from the Scottish brand's bestselling Daily Hydration range. This signature edition is formulated with carefully chosen essential oils and plant extracts to gently cleanse away all traces of impurities and daily grime, without stripping the skin of its natural oils. If you're a fan of rose-scented gel cleansers, you will love this one!

D'Alchémy Intense Skin Repair Oil

It's always such a treat to find a high-end skincare sample in the LoveLula beauty boxes and I'm really excited to try this Intense Skin Repair Oil from Spanish eco-luxe brand, D'Alchémy. This superstar facial oil promises to regenerate the skin's surface to help prevent premature ageing, whilst deeply nourishing it for a softer, smoother and younger-looking complexion.

Mádara Exfoliating Scrub

It's also great to revisit products that I've used and loved in the past and reintroduce them into my skincare routine.  I first reviewed the Mádara' Exfoliating Oil-To-Milk Scrub back in 2016 and I've used it on and off ever since. The silky oil magically transforms into a gentle milky texture once a little water is added for a beautifully luxurious facial experience. 

Soul Tree Lipstick

Next up, there's a gorgeous Lipstick from Ayurvedic natural brand, Soul Tree. Not only is the packaging simply chic and stunning, but the lipstick is crafted from a blend of Organic Ghee and Almond Oil to keep lips soft and moisturised during the cold winter months. The shade I received is called Wild Honey and I'll be doing a separate review and swatch of this shortly so keep your eyes peeled.

Ayumi Turmeric Body Scrub and Body Lotion

As a bonus extra this month, LoveLula have included two sample sachets of Ayumi Turmeric Body Scrub and Body Lotion to test out. If you're lucky enough to be going on holiday soon, these would be ideal to pack in your carry on bag!

LoveLula Beauty Box* is a monthly subscription box priced at £13.95 with free postage in the UK. Visit lovelula.com to find out more.

Green Beauty: LoveLula Beauty Box - October 2020 review

Sunday, 1 November 2020

Christmas is just around the corner and if you're starting your gift shopping online this week, why not consider a subscription to one of the UK's most green beauty boxes, LoveLula?

Everything inside the LoveLula boxes has been carefully chosen to ensure that they're cruelty-free and made from natural ingredients without any hidden 'nasties'. You'll also find that many products are organic and/or vegan-friendly and it's a great way to discover brands that you might not have come across before!

To whet your appetite, here are the contents of their latest box (worth £55) to give you an idea of what you can expect, and then check out my other LoveLula Beauty Box reviews to see what's been featured in previous editions.

Moi Vert Natural Deodorant (RRP £9.95)
It might sound odd but I love trying out new natural deodorants and this one from Moi Vert looks very promising. Suitable for vegans, this fragrance-free version is made from a blend of nourishing Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Tapioca Starch and Sodium Bicarbonate to gently absorb body odour whilst keeping you nice and fresh all day long. With many of us now working from home, it's the perfect time to test out a natural deodorant and make the switch if you haven't used one before!

Laidbare Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow (RRP £10)
I've used this hair minimising gel-lotion from Laidbare many times before (read my original review here) and it does really work a treat thanks to a synergistic botanical complex which naturally helps to slow down hair growth and re-growth by maintaining the hair cells in their growth stage. I like to use it on my legs after showering sometimes instead of using a body lotion, but I must admit it's definitely a product that I use more often in the Summer months when I'm wearing skirts and shorts so I'll probably save it up for next year before cracking it open.


Emani Hydrating Lip Colour in Ava (RRP £19)
One of the reasons why I love these subscription boxes so much is because they regularly feature products that are on my current wishlist. I was so happy to see an Emani Lipstick included this month as I've heard so many positive things about the brand recently! I received the shade Ava which is a beautiful everyday peachy-pink. It goes on smoothly and has a lovely hydrating formula that's perfect for Autumn & Winter when lips are prone to dryness. I have no doubt that this is going to be a new favourite of mine!

Balm Balm Little Miracle Rosehip Serum (RRP £15.50)
An intensively rich and nourishing blend of 100% organic Rosehip, Jojoba and Borage Oils are infused with essential oils of Frankincense, Rose Geranium, Palmarosa, Juniper and Mandarin to feed your skin all the nutrients that it needs, whilst delivering essential moisture for a more rejuvenated complexion. I've tried many products from Balm Balm over the years and they never disappoint so I can't wait to introduce this Little Miracle Rosehip Serum into my winter skincare routine.

Antipodes Baptise H20 Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel (free sample)
The last product in the box is a free sample of Antipodes Baptise H20 Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel which I reviewed earlier in the year when it was released and I absolutely love it. I'm currently finishing off my jar so it's great to have this extra sample in my stash and of course, if you haven't tried it before, this is the ideal way to give it a go to see if it suits your skin.

Green Beauty: Lavera Limited Edition Natural Pastels Collection 2019 - Review & Swatches

Thursday, 12 September 2019

Lavera Limited Edition Natural Pastels Collection 2019 - Review & Swatches
Not ready to say goodbye to Summer just yet? Me either! To keep those sunny vibes flowing for longer, just add these beauties from Lavera's Limited Edition Natural Pastels Collection to your makeup bag ASAP.

Lavera is one of the most well-known organic and natural beauty brands in the business and I always get excited when I see a new collection drop from them. Their latest, Natural Pastels, is inspired by the floral shades and colours of Summer, but it's definitely a collection that you can wear all year round thanks to its flattering neutral tones. 

Everything in the collection is just like Lavera's existing products as they are all cruelty-free, certified organic and natural by NaTrue, and are free from parabens, artificial colourings and preservatives.

Lavera Limited Edition Natural Pastels Collection 2019 - Review & Swatches
When I opened up the package from them, I was pleased to see that all of the products are housed in eco-friendly, durable cardboard packaging which fits in perfectly with Lavera's ongoing commitment to the environment and sustainability. Once you've used up the products, all of the packaging is recyclable and the mirrors in the palettes can be taken out and re-used. Another thing that I love about these palettes is that there are no unnecessary brushes/applicators, as I always prefer to use my own brushes anyway, and find that most people throw away the ones that are included.

To complement the collection's theme, the pastel pink packaging is adorned around the edges with an intricate silver floral motif, which I think is really pretty!

Lavera's new Limited Edition Natural Pastels Collection features two Mineral Eyeshadow Palettes, two Mineral Blush Palettes and three Lipsticks, of which I have a selection below to show you.

Lavera Limited Edition Natural Pastels Mineral Eyeshadow Palette in Blooming Nude review swatches

Lavera Limited Edition Natural Pastels Mineral Eyeshadow Palette in Blooming Nude* (£24.95, link)

Starting with the Mineral Eyeshadows, this beautiful Blooming Nude palette features six large pans and a mirror. There's a matte pale cream, a gorgeous warm rose, a matte chocolate brown, a shimmering copper brown, a shimmering brown with cool undertones and a deep graphite purple/taupe shade. All of the shades are easy to blend and work with and have a silky consistency that has surprisingly little fallout. As you can see in the swatches below, these eyeshadows have a gorgeous sheen to them which is much more pronounced on the second row of colours, so it's a really versatile palette that you can use for both day and night. 

They aren't as crazy pigmented as some mainstream eyeshadows are, but as far as natural/organic alternatives go, they are brilliant! I'm a huge fan of bronzey and taupey neutrals like these, and you can even wear the first shade as a highlighter and the second shade as a blusher - super easy to travel with!

Lavera Limited Edition Natural Pastels Mineral Blush Palette in Coral Bloom review swatches
Lavera Limited Edition Natural Pastels Mineral Blush Palette in Coral Bloom* (£24.95, link)

This Mineral Blush palette is a fantastic selection for makeup beginners, those who travel a lot or anyone who is simply craving some gorgeous blushers! This trio is called Coral Bloom and these shades are so flattering for a wide range of skin tones - there's a shimmering pearlescent highlighter, a stunning peach blush and a rosy pink blush.

As you may expect, the pans are bigger than the eyeshadows above, and there's a handy mirror included. The quality is the same as the eyeshadows and they are easy to build up when you apply them - from sheer to a bolder flush depending on what look you're going for. I am so smitten with this palette and have been getting a lot of use out of it since it arrived!

Lavera Limited Edition Natural Lipstick in Rosy Pastel review swatches

Lavera Limited Edition Natural Lipstick in Rosy Pastel* (4.5g, £13.90, link)

The last product that I have from the collection is one of the three new Lipsticks. Formulated with a range of natural pigments and moisturising plant-based ingredients such as Organic Blossom Butter, Coconut Oil, Candelilla Wax, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, Argan Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil, they glide on easily and feel very hydrating on the lips. 

This ultra-buttery texture does make them prone to melting if left in a warm place though (the top of mine melted a bit when I left it in the car), so keep it somewhere nice and cool to get the most out of it. The shade I have is called Rosy Pastel - a pretty neutral-toned nude pink with a glossy finish that's perfect for everyday wear.

New In Beauty: Tropic Beauty Boost Sheer Foundation, Mineral Foundation, Kiss Me Quick Lipsticks & Lip Glazes - Review & Swatches

Tuesday, 20 August 2019

Tropic are killing it with the new beauty releases this year, and their latest makeup products for base and lips have been in daily rotation on my vanity since they arrived! Let's take a closer look at what's new.

Hot on the heels of their customisable Colour Palette (read my review of that here), Tropic has brought out a whole new range of base and lip products for you to fall in love with. From lighter foundation options for the Summer to delectable nourishing lipsticks and lip glazes, there's something for every makeup junkie to get excited about! And as always, everything from Tropic is certified cruelty-free and vegan-friendly.

Here's what I've been loving lately:-

Tropic Beauty Booster Sheer Foundation
Tropic Beauty Booster Sheer Foundation* (30ml, £22, link)

If you hate the feeling of thick liquid foundations on your skin, this Beauty Booster Sheer Foundation is a brilliant alternative that you'll instantly love the moment that you try it. Not to be confused with a tinted moisturiser, Beauty Booster offers a light-medium level of coverage in a weightless-feeling liquid base. The pigment here is combined with a serum formula that contains SPF35 and it gives the skin a gorgeous dewy finish that looks particularly fresh, brightening and youthful so it's great for perking up dull or tired complexions.

I've been applying it with a damp beauty blender sponge and I love how easy it is to achieve a really natural, healthy-looking finish - very much like 'my skin, but better'! Available in six shades, I have Warm Beige which is perfectly suited to my light olive skin tone.

Tropic Mineral Foundation
Tropic Mineral Foundation* (6g, £24, link)

For those who prefer mineral powder foundations, Tropic's bestselling Mineral Foundation has been re-packaged for their new collection. Like the Beauty Booster above, it comes in six shades and Warm Beige was another perfect match for me, without any hint of orange. Instead, it gives me a lovely natural finish on the skin which I'd say is the equivalent of light-medium coverage - a quick sweep over the face will blur any small imperfections, whilst another buildable layer delivers a more even coverage. SPF25 is included in the silky-soft formula and I really like how well this wears throughout the day, without any dry patches forming around my nose or mouth like some other mineral foundations have a habit of doing. Another bonus is that refills are available to cut down on plastic waste.

A word on the packaging though - whilst I like the compact pot with its inbuilt mesh to stop the powder going everywhere, it is a little tricky to get it out onto your brush. You have to push down in the centre to bring the powder up and be quite firm with pressing it into your brush, so a small kabuki is your best tool to apply it.

Tropic Eco Artist Kabuki Brush
Tropic Eco Artist Kabuki Brush* (£22, link)

Need a new kabuki brush in your life? I have been seriously impressed with all of Tropic's Eco Artist Brushes so far that I've tried out, and their Kabuki Brush is no exception. This brush is short and compact so that it fits in perfectly with the Mineral Foundation pot above and the smaller size makes it ideal for travelling with as it doesn't take up much room in my makeup bag. A fluffy and dense head of vegan-friendly synthetic fibres allows you to bluff and blend foundation into the skin effortlessly, whilst the sturdy wood base fits nicely into your hand.

Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipsticks in Go Go Goji, Plum Pout and Fresh Fig
Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipsticks in Go Go Goji, Plum Pout and Fresh Fig* (5g, £20 each, link)

There is something rather alluring and addictive about opening up a fresh new lipstick and these Kiss Me Quick Lipsticks have had me well and truly smitten since they arrived. The white and gold packaging is not only stylish, but they have been specially made to accommodate Tropic's new refillable lipstick cartridges which makes it easy to switch up different colours and to replace your favourite shade when it runs out.

Formulated with a seriously hydrating blend of plant based ingredients such as Candelilla Wax, Olive Squalene, Babassu Oil, Shea Butter, Mango Seed Oil and Jojoba Oil to name but a few, these lipsticks are ultra-nourishing and plumping with a glossy finish. Due to this, they aren't as long-lasting as I'd hoped for, but with a lipstick this beautiful, I don't mind whipping it out of my bag to show it off as I reapply!

There are currently eight shades available and I have the following three to tempt you with:-

Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipstick in Go Go Goji
Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipstick in Go Go Goji

An easy way to wear a subtly brighter shade in the Summer months and perfect for holidays, Go Go Goji is a lush pop of coral pink that's incredibly flattering on a range of different skin tones.

Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipstick in Plum Pout
Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipstick in Plum Pout

Aptly named, Plum Pout is a juicy plum-pink that looks equally amazing on pale, tanned and darker skin tones. I love wearing this one for dinner evenings and nights out.

Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipstick in Fresh Fig
Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipstick in Fresh Fig

Oh, Fresh Fig! My new favourite everyday lippie, this is the perfect 'my lips but better shade' as it's just a touch darker than my natural lip colour. I think this is going to live permanently in my handbag from now on!
Tropic Lip Glazes in Sugar Plum and Candy Pop
Tropic Lip Glazes in Sugar Plum and Candy Pop* (5ml, £14 each, link)

For an even glossier pout, Tropic's Lip Glazes will be calling your name this Summer and they smell good enough to eat with a sweet and fruity scent. Available in three shades, these Lip Glazes are super moisturising with a beautiful shine finish and have much more pigment to them than I was expecting. There's no stickiness and they glide on easily. Use them on their own or apply over lipstick for some megawatt shine!

Tropic Lip Glaze in Candy Pop

Candy Pop is like a classic bubblegum pink and candy floss pink, all swirled together! As you can see, this is a really juicy and glossy wash of pink.

Tropic Lip Glaze in Sugar Plum
Tropic Lip Glaze in Sugar Plum

Although it looks darker in the tube, Sugar Plum translates to a much sheerer colour when applied to the lips and has a subtle shimmer that I love. A great shade to wear all year round.

Summer Beauty: 3 Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks To Try From Antipodes - South Pacific Coral, Golden Bay Nectar & Piha Beach Tangerine - Review & Swatches

Wednesday, 24 July 2019

3 Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks To Try From Antipodes - South Pacific Coral, Golden Bay Nectar & Piha Beach Tangerine - Review & Swatches
It's way too hot to be wearing a full face of makeup this week (hello UK heatwave!), but I can't resist how good a bare face looks with a bright lippie and I've been loving these summery shades from Antipodes. Not a fan of brights? Don't worry, I've also included a neutral option to cover all bases ;)

I've been wanting to try out these Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks from Antipodes ever since they launched about two years ago, and now I've finally gotten my hands on three of them, I can say that they were definitely worth the wait!

Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks in Golden Bay Nectar, South Pacific Coral & Piha Beach Tangerine
From L-R: Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks in Golden Bay Nectar, South Pacific Coral & Piha Beach Tangerine

With a catchy 'I'm so healthy you could almost eat me' tagline, these lipsticks are made from mainly natural ingredients and only have very low levels of colour pigments which have been included for vibrancy aesthetics. The Moisture-Boost formula features a blissfully hydrating blend of Castor Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Candelilla Wax, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Avocado Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Argan Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil and Vitamin E, to keep your lips kissably soft and moisturised for longer.

They glide on easily and the brighter shades, in particular, are richly pigmented with an intense colour payoff. The combination of the plant-based oils and waxes that I mentioned above also delivers a glossy sheen finish that I really like and surprisingly, they lasted a lot longer than I expected them to before a touch-up was required which is always impressive for a natural lipstick.

There is a wide range of shades available, and here are my top three to whet your appetite!

Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in Golden Bay Nectar
Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in Golden Bay Nectar
If you only wear neutral shades or are looking for something that you can wear every day to work, Golden Bay Nectar is the one for you. It's a classic shade with hints of nude and peach and although it's the least pigmented out of the three, it has a great tinted lip balm feel to it, but with buildable coverage. Absolutely gorgeous, it's such a very easy shade to wear!

Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in South Pacific Coral
For a pop of hot coral-pink, you can't go wrong with South Pacific Coral which has quickly become one of my favourite Summer lipsticks to reach for this year. I always get a lot of compliments when I wear it and I love how it helps to brighten up my whole face.

Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in Piha Beach Tangerine
Antipodes Moisture-Boost Natural Lipstick in Piha Beach Tangerine
How bright and juicy is this one?! Piha Beach Tangerine is a straight-up orangey-red that really pops against dark skin or if you have a tan. It's a shade that pulls me out of my comfort zone and demands to be worn on a beach with a bare face for a fun and youthful look!

Currently Loving: 4 Lipsticks To Try From RMS Beauty Wild With Desire range - Review & Swatches

4 Lipsticks To Try From RMS' Wild With Desire range - Review & Swatches
When it comes to luxury lipsticks, RMS' Wild With Desire range ticks all the right boxes, from ultra chic packaging to insane pigmentation and clean formulas - they are simply beautiful! Here are my top four shades that you should add ASAP to your payday wishlist.

Back in December, I posted about the Limited Edition Wild With Desire Mini Lipstick Set from RMS Beauty and it quickly became one of my most viewed blog posts of the year (check it out here if you missed it!). Many of you were disappointed by how fast the set sold out and since then, I've received numerous requests to do another post on these lipsticks which focusses on the shades that are available to buy all year round. Always eager to please, I've rounded up four of my favourites to share with you all today.

4 Lipsticks To Try From RMS' Wild With Desire range - Review & Swatches
From L-R: RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Brain Teaser, Temptation, Russian Roulette and Rapture

But first, a little background info on RMS Beauty for those who are new to the brand. Founded by celebrity makeup artist, Rose-Marie Swift, RMS Beauty is one of the world's leading cruelty-free, ethical, luxury cosmetics brands that specialise in 'clean' formulas which use only certified organic, raw and natural ingredients. Loved by A-list actresses and celebrities, RMS Beauty is one of those instantly covetable brands where you simply want to purchase every single product that they make! I'm definitely addicted - you can check out my previous reviews and features here.

The RMS Wild With Desire Lipsticks are drop dead gorgeous in so many different ways. Packaged in sleek, silver metallic tubes, the chunky bullets within are surprisingly well-shaped to be applied directly to the lips, thanks to the tilted angle that they twist-up from.

It was truly love at first swipe when I tried these - the pigmentation is quite frankly insane for a 'natural' lipstick and these lipsticks put to shame many other brands whose offerings appear lacklustre in comparison. With RMS, you get an intense colour payoff that delivers a smooth and sexy satin finish. Lighter shades apply easier than the darker ones though (which is almost always the case with lipsticks anyway) and they easily last longer on the lips than virtually all of my other 'green beauty' lipsticks. Any drawbacks? Only one slight niggle really - they're not as moisturising as I was hoping for, but it's nothing that a touch of lip balm underneath can't fix!

Below are four of my favourite RMS Beauty Wild With Desire Lipstick shades:-

RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Brain Teaser
 RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Brain Teaser*
Brain Teaser is an interesting medium pink colour with a brownish undertone. It feels very 'on-trend' whenever I wear it and really helps to pull together a makeup look that you can either dress up or down depending on your mood and social occasion.   

RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Temptation
RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Temptation*
The perfect pinky-mauve, it's easy to see why Temptation is one of RMS' bestsellers! Ideal for everyday wear, it's one of those 'throw it into your handbag ASAP' shades that never lets you down. If I ever happen to lose it, I'll be sure to repurchase this shade colour pronto!   

RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Rapture
RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Rapture
Rapture is something of a chameleon shade because it often looks completely different from various angles and lighting situations. Most of the time though, it's a classic brick red that works well for range of skin tones.

RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Russian Roulette
 RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Russian Roulette*
It doesn't get much more vamp-tastic than Russian Roulette so if you're after a killer deep berry red, this is the shade for you. This is one of those eye-catching shades that always gets a lot of compliments whenever I wear it on a night out, but you will need to use a lip liner with it to prevent any bleeding/feathering. Stunning nonetheless!
