Wearing Calamity Chang RED Burlesque lipstick and turban from By Frankii |
Recently I shared my interview with RED Burlesque CEO
Adam Coutts. By speaking with him I got to learn about the brand and more about
the man behind the lipsticks!
The RED Burlesque shade team picked out 2 colours for me
to try and I eagerly waited for the postman to deliver. As luck would have it
on the day of my second burlesque show they arrived! I opened the pack to find
Ruby Joule and Calamity Chang to try. They looked absolutely wonderful in the
tube.
Now these are both shades of red I wouldn’t have ever
selected for myself which I found interesting. I tend to go for very dark matte
reds with a strong blue tone.
Here are my thoughts on the 2 shades I have
recently tried:

Wearing By Frankii Turban |
I decided to wear the shade Calamity Chang shade out to
the show I was producing for the first time. After all, where better than to
put a RED Burlesque lipstick into action than at a burlesque show?!
The colour is a vibrant red berry high gloss shade. This
lipstick glided on smoothly and felt creamy and moisturising. This was not a
matte shade and there was no drying out of the lips at all. I wondered how it
would last as I have found myself that matte shades are usually longer lasting.
I was pleasantly surprised that the colour pigment was very rich and the colour
lasted on my lips. Not being used to this type of lipstick I spent the night
whenever I could catch a second to have a look to ensure the lipstick wasn’t coming
off and needed topping up as I thought I would need to a lot more often with it
being more moisturising but no, the colour held strong!
The one thing I feel is that it needs a lip liner, but I feel
this about all lipsticks! As I have quite full lips I always like to draw the
outside edge on to help enhance the shape, but the lipstick didn’t bleed out at
all.
Overall I loved the feel of this lipstick, it’s a new
colour for me I wouldn’t usually pick but love and received lots of comments on
the night about the shade and how it looked.

A friend recently asked my opinion on what RED Burlesque
shades I would recommend for her, I gave her my thoughts. She also asked the
shade team and funnily enough they came back with the exact same choices as me!
It’s great to have a team of people you can ask for advice and it made me feel
happy that we were totally on the same wave length with colour choices.
I am intrigued what their lip liners are like and have my
eye on many other shades including LouLou D’vil, Betsy Rose, Banbury Cross,
Kitten Deville…in fact most of them!
