Well I am excited to write this review on Red Apple Lipstick! I have always loved lip products. Since simplifying my makeup routine and switching over to greener beauty products I was on the hunt for a great lipstick. When I was younger I used to focus on eye makeup and just wear a gloss. As I'm getting older I find I'm doing the opposite. I have simplified my daily routine to a tinted moisturizer, blush, mascara and then I add a pop of lip color.
This product comes so highly recommended from Green Beauty Bloggers all over the web. When I checked out the Red Apple Lipstick website I signed up for their VIP Club (it's free) so that I could get emailed monthly coupons....I sure do love me some coupons! And then I lay in wait...... until a buy one get one deal came around!
I chose to purchase two colors, Audrey and Brazilliant. Both came highly recommended by YouTuber Sarah from Holistic Habits. Audrey is a beautiful neutral pink color without sparkle that would suite most skin tones. This color is really raved about but to be honest it has taken me a while to warm up to it. I think I was hoping for a lighter peachy pink color. My lips are a fairly dark mauve so Audrey shows up as a darker neutral pink on me. I will say the more I wear it the more I like it though.
Lately I've been gravitating towards lipsticks without any sparkle but I decided to give Brazilliant a try anyways. The lipstick is not overly shimmery and is a very nice peachy pink color. It is very neutral and the perfect everyday shade for me. I really like this color and it's perfect for days that I want to feel like I'm wearing lipstick but don't want to be really obvious about it.
I was also sent a sample of the color Reddish Fetish. Let me tell you I LOVE it! It is a beautiful pinky, berry color. Not a shade I would have picked out for myself but I'm so glad I was sent this sample. It is so hydrating and lasted a long time on my lips! RAL you really nailed down the formula on these lipsticks! Because I have a lot of lines on my lips I do wear a balm under all the colors, they don't require it, but I find that the colors look a little bit better that way.

The small taste I've had of this company has left me wanting more!! Out of the lipsticks I really want to try Vogue and Oh La La, a neutral berry and pretty dusty rose color. I've heard great things about their lip glosses as well, especially Honey Badger. They also carry mascara and eyeshadows!! I'm thinking that I may have to purchase those to try out and perhaps even use them for my wedding makeup in July! Stay tuned for an update on that front!
So overall, I highly recommend trying this company out. Surely Red Apple Lipstick will become a staple in your makeup routine if you do!
