Mac Russian Red

So, Christmas has come and gone and yet again I have failed at blogging. I’ve had a serious lack of motivation over the past few months but I am making sure one of my New Years resolutions is to get back in to blogging. Anyway, I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and got everything you wanted.

I received a lot of make which I should be featuring on my blog over the course of the next few months. One of the first make up gifts I received was a Mac lipstick from my best friend. She had asked what shade was on the top of my wishlist (which was Russian Red) and got it for me for Christmas which I was so happy about! This ended up being my Christmas day lip colour, I paired it with a red lip gloss to give it an extra Christmassy feel and thats exactly how I felt wearing it. 

Russian Red is your standard blue toned matte lipstick. It is a classic shade that will never go out of style and everyone needs in their collection. Surprisingly for a matte lipstick it is rather creamy and is easy to apply, I could in no way apply this without a mirror or anything but it does however glide easily over the lips, not creasing into lines like some other matte lipsticks. 

The staying power of this lipstick is like no other, as I said, I wore this on Christmas day from 9am until late in the night. Inbetween that I had a three course Christmas Eve and lots to drink. I still had a lovely red stain to my lips just before i took my make up off at the end of the day and that was without reapplying once!
