Topshop Lip Bullet in Joyride

Red lipstick always scares me a little bit, there's always that constant feeling some has got on your teeth and I also have uneven lips, so it takes some careful application to get it to look right. Never the less, a good blue toned red always brings out my freckles and the red in my hair, making for a very good accessory to have in my arsenal. 

Many red lipsticks have been and gone, passing through my collection like smoke. I've always made the mistake of buying orange toned reds and every single one has looked horrendous, swiftly finding themselves in the bin or in the back of a draw. They say that there is a red out there to suit everyone, a bit like a lipstick soul mate. Mine found me through a Christmas blogger box swap and it was a much-welcomed gift. 

Immediately after applying I fell in love, not just the rich red shade but also the smoothness of the product. Topshop makeup is always something I want to dabble in but never seem to get around to. This Lip Bullet in Joyride is a gem that I would never have found on my own and is something I highly recommend. 

I'd love to try other shades in the Lip Bullets because this is fantastic! The lip crayon shape makes applying red lipstick super easy (something that applying red lipstick rarely is) and the formula is so smooth and creamy and doesn't seem to smudge too easily. 

Every girl needs a solid red lipstick to hand when things get tough or you need to impress, it will serve you well and fill you with confidence. I always feel like an old Hollywood star when I'm rocking this and I don't know what I'd do without it, I'm in love. 

What's your red lipstick of choice? Do you feel your confidence build when you apply your favourite lippy?
