Are You Red-dy for This?  (Ha, ha.)

Burberry Ruby (18) Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a gorgeous shade of bright, lush red with a faint blue-base but not at all too cool for warmer skin tones to wear.  A few weeks ago, when I reviewed Burberry’s Russet Blush, I had so many of you ask me about the lip color–in case you missed it, Ruby was it!

It’s a nearly opaque shade that packs lots of color without feeling heavy or slick on lips.  It’s lightweight in its feel, satiny in its texture.  The application is even and smooth and doesn’t require a lot of layering (just one or two passes).  There’s a soft sheen but not really a shimmer to it.  It does have a floral scent, which is noticeable in the tube but not when I wore it.

    Is there any dupe for this? I love how this shade makes your teeth look whiter, you look fabulous. Even your face looks brighter. I am a bit scared of coral and red lipsticks, sometimes they make my teeth look yellower. :/ Why is that? Could you make a post about what sort of shades to choose to avoid this problem? I have no clue until I saw my pictures, and I am horrified. Sticking to nudes and pinks until I can figure out what is wrong.
