    I just bought the Russian Red lipglass and this is my 'going out to clubs or concerts' holy grail! Paired with a simple cateye and maybe a soft silver shimmer on the lids and a highlight is great...

    Gorgeous red, and this coming from a girl who usually leans towards nude glosses. But that's exactly the point for me -- it is SO clearly different from what I normally wear that it caused...

    Add me to the list of Russian Red-lovers. I am very pleased with my purchase. As so many people have said below, it is a true red, with a blue base and a matte finish. It looks great either by...

    Love this red! Perfect shade for me, very intense, not as moisturising as other intense shades (such as Girl about town) but not drying whatsoever, with very good staying power. Very good for when...

    Wow, this is gorgeous - the perfect true red. Lovely formula that glides on and stays on! Smells very nice too. Only negative is that it can be a bit drying.

    I liked Russian Red, but it clashed with my skin tone. If you can't normally wear red lipstick, GLAM might be the answer for you. It is only available at MAC stores. I liked Russian Red 2nd best...

    This is such a beautiful perfect red. I feel so sophisticated when I wear this color. Sexy for night, classy for day. The staying power is pretty good. The formula is a bit drying but that's okay....

    If you're looking for a straight bright red, this is definitely holy grail material. The texture is to die for. It's more on the warmer orange-y side rather than blue tinged. Not as dark as it...

    The best red lipstick EVER! A bold intensly pigmented blue red. It has a matte finish, which can make it slightly drying, but a little MAC gloss over it does the trick. I wear it over cherry lip...

    I finally found a true red that looks good on my cool tone skin (C3/4). Not too orange or too pink, or too brown - a true, blue red. First of all, this MUST be applied with a lip brush or a...
