In honor of National Lipstick Day (yes it's a thing!) I thought a giveaway would be the perfect way to celebrate! One winner will receive 3 of Anastasia Beverly Hill's new fall collection liquid lipsticks in the shades Blush, Sugar Plum, and Veronica! A second place winner will receive LASplash's liquid lipstick in the shade Ghoulish! This is the perfect way to try out the formula and get your lipstick wardrobe ready for Fall! Good luck and thank you for your support!
And remember on a bad day, there is always lipstick.
Red lipstick is so classic and goes with every season. You can go with a deep bing cherry shade in the winter or sport a sizzling orange red shade in the summer. It can be intimidating but having a long wearing formula definitely makes me feel more comfortable while rocking this timeless trend. There is no worry of kiss marks or it traveling past your lip liner!
I tried to give as much variety here in reds as I could in liquid lipstick form. These are all the reds, oranges, and corals I own in this formula at the moment.
All of these dry to a matte finish. Some formulas have glitter such as Dutchess, the perfect ruby slipper red in a waterproof finish and Sephora's Coral Luster although I don't see it too much when swatched, only in the tube on this one.
I included Limecrime's Riot for reference as an everyday red tinted beige. When next to the others it definitely looks brownish pink. I wouldn't necessarily consider it a red but I can see this color working well blended over a red lip liner. You could even mix this shade with others listed here to tone down the brightness. It's a good beginner's color when you are interested in getting into a red lip but apprehensive about making the full statement. Girlactik's Allure is also a great starter red. It's not vibrant but still has an impact.

After all the drama surrounding Limecrime, I know a lot of people out there are searching for dupes for their coveted greige Velvetine in Cashmere. I had heard about LASplash's Ghoulish being similar but I wanted to see for myself before I started telling people about it. I have to say, they are a perfect match color wise! The colors shift slightly depending on the lighting but overall they are a match.
The formulas are a little different. Ghoulish has a thicker consistency and has much better staying power where Cashmere is thinner and does wear off with eating and drinking. The price is also a lot better, LASplash = $11.98 and Limecrime = $20.
I threw in two other LASplash shades for comparison, Innocent Vixen which leans more nude/beige and then Charmed which has a slightly more pink undertone.
