A red lipstick is a little bit like the make-up version of the little black dress, every girl needs one. Ruby Woo, however, isn't just any red lipstick, rumoured to be the favourite red lipstick of Gwen Stefani who lets face it is known for her red lips. This is a lipstick that I think almost every makeup lover has, or wants to have and it was one that I lusted after for quite a while. Ruby Woo is a cherry red with a blue undertone, with a VERY matte finish.
I really cannot over emphasise how matte this is, it does drag a little and feels a bit uncomfortable on the lips. However, it looks absolutely gorgeous on the lips and really brightens the face, and best of all it stays on brilliantly. One of my bug bears with bright lipsticks is when they wear off and leave a weird line around the mouth, this however doesn't do this. I can wear this on a night out and have it on for a good 8 hours and by the end of the night it still looks pretty good (which I can't always say about the rest of my face at 4 in the morning haha).
Overall Rating 3.5 out of 5
Whilst I love the longevity and look of this lipstick, the formula stops it from being an essential for me. if this was to be just a little bit less dry I would get so much wear out of this, but I struggle with wearing this for a few consecutive days as I really feel as though it deteriorates the condition of my lips over time. Thus, this is definitely a going out/occasion product, which is a shame as this product isn't the cheapest.
Available here for £15.50.
