The Red Lip Quest Continues...

And I still haven't found what I'm looking for. As promised, I gave the new Maybelline 24 HR Color Stay a try. The formula was fabulous. I wouldn't say that you could get 24 hours of wear out of this product, unless you boycotted all food and drink, kissing and possibly even speaking for said 24 hour period. However, I get a good 10 hours mileage out of this. The colour fades a little, but in a way that looks more natural than other formulas and surprisingly it's much less dry on my lips.

My issue is still the lack of a truly jaw-dropping red. Pictured, here is the "All Day Cherry". It's a nice colour, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there between "Cherry" and "Coral". For $10 CAD, I felt that this purchase was worth the money and I continue to wear this as my go- to colour at the moment. I refuse to believe that sexy tomato-red lips are as unfashionable!
