By Terry Rouge Terrybly Age-Defence Lipstick - 203 Fanatic Red

By Terry Rouge Terrybly Age-Defence Lipstick - 203 Fanatic Red is a deep classic red. I've been wearing a lot of matte lipstick lately so by comparison these By Terry Terrybly lipsticks feel quite glossy. The colour payoff is great and they moisturise like a dream but the do move a litle on the lips - so be warned! The scent is lovely and the packaging is above and beyond most other luxury brands - I especially love the satin pouch which help the tubes stay perfect!

Nars Lipliner Pencil - Ecuador

Nars lipliner pencil Ecuador is a brown red / slighly wine red with staying power! Can be used all over the lip ( although a little more drying) or simply to line and define the lips. Nice product that does it's job!

By Terry Rouge Terrybly Age-Defence Lipstick - 202 Funky Ruby

I'd been eyeing off By Terry's 202 Funky Ruby for a while as it was the last product in the Rouge Terrybly Age-Defence '200' red series I didn't own. Although it sits in the red colour range - it is is definitely not red (well on my skin anyway).
202 funky Ruby is a dark magenta pink and although beautifully creamy and vibrant, it is on the softer side - so be careful not to be too heavy handed, and make sure you use a lip liner as this product tends to move.
I've mentioned before that these pink toned products are not my usual preference, but have to say they are growing on me. I also feel a slight sense of victory knowing that I have added the last missing 'red' lipstick to my By Terry Terrybly Age-Defense collection :)

Here are some swatches of Artdeco's Dita Von Teese Classics lipstick range for comparison. I hope they help those who cannot see the colours in real life. The range is beautiful and quality flawless. I can't wait for the new fall collection which I hope to buy as soon as it becomes available.

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick (Velvet) - 645 Demoiselle

645 Demoiselle is a beautiful blue based fuchsia pink. I was surprised to love this shade so much given it is such a change from my usual reds.

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick (Velvet) - 637 Follies Pink

637 Follies Pink is a stunning deep red pink. It is the same beautiful consistency and quality as the other Artdeco Dita Von Teese velvet lipsticks and is s dream to wear. While I rarely (well never!) wear pink lipstick... I can only sing praise for this shade.

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick (Velvet) - 628 Maitresse

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick in 628 Maitresse is a classic cherry red and is incredibly flattering on the skin. I have been so impressed with each of these Artdeco lipsticks from the Dita classics range, all different and equally stunning. The pigment is amazing.. in fact it is difficult to remove! I could go on and on all day singing praises about how creamy and opaque they are. I'm not sure how I am actually going to wait for Dita's fall collection to be released.... it's going to be quite a challenge...

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick (Velvet) - 620 Parlez-Vous

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick (Velvet) in 620 Parlez-Vous is another glorious red. Amazing pigment and fabulous staying power (trying to get the swatch off my hand was even a challenge!) Very much looking forward to swatching the next few...

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick (Velvet) - 615 Muse Red

Art Deco's Dita Von Teese Classic lipstick in 615 Muse Red. Stunning. Can't say much more.

Artdeco - Dita Von Teese - Art Couture Lipstick (Velvet) - 607 Bon Bon

I have been trying for months to get hold of Artdeco's Dita Von Teese lipsticks - so imagine my delight when I discovered international shipping at: http://www.tenderlovingskincare.co.uk
Nicola, who runs this company is sweet, helpful and professional. My 6 lipsticks arrived in Australia within a week!
607 Bon Bon is a bright and flamboyant orange! Not a colour I would usually choose but one I have taken to quickly. I love the statement it makes... and that it is still so feminine. I've found these lipsticks VERY impressive - excellent quality, opaque, pigment rich and incredibly moisturising. I'll be swatching the other 5 from this range over the next few weeks... so watch this space :)
