Gorgeous shade of red. I should mention that many if not most shades of red tend to turn purplish on my strongly pigmented lips but this one does not but thankfully stays true.

Nice clear red with a pinky hint. the matte level is good- not too chalky. l really like this one for winter. the packaging is really nice- the slim size allows precise from the tube application

Vesuvio is a gorgeous red that reminds me so much of Viva Glam I. I had been wearing Viva Glam I for a week straight when I switched to this one and it was as if I hadn't switched. Great formula,...

This is a beautiful, bold, bright red lipstick, a good shade for my skin (which is cool). More orange-reds make me look weird, this does not. It is matte and has VERY good staying power, when I...

The best true red. It is an awesome matte, that is long lasting and not too drying. This has become my staple red.

I have based my review mostly on formula but will comment on all aspects: Formula - superb. It is matte but moisturising. I did not have the dry lip problem that I get even with non-matte...

This is the only red that I've found after many searches that works for me. I have lightly tanned skin (NARS Sheer Glow Barcelona for reference), and platinum blonde hair, so red lipstick is tricky...

I'm a sucker for matte reds. I tend to stay more towards blue-based red b/c orange reds clash too much with my yellow tones. I originally pre-ordered volga at my local Nars counter, but when I...
