I recently rediscovered this drugstore classic in my stash. Many years ago, before I was comfortable wearing red lipstick out of the house, I tried Retro Red and did not care much for it. I think I...

Like all things NYC - there are some fantastic products for the price, and some total fails. Retro Red is one of their wins as is a bit of a drugstore cult classic. This is a classic, old...

Retro Red is a very beautiful warm/orange-tinted red. I own a few drugstore reds including Wet n Wild's Stoplight Red which is more of a true BRIGHT red than a warm red, so I'm glad to have this...

This is by far my absolute all time favorite red lipstick. ^_^ It's THE PERFECT shade of red, no other lipstick even comes close to this for me. I've tried countless red lipsticks, and I always...

A great red lipstick for anyone on a tight budget, it's only 99 cents! Highly pigmented and goes on smoothly. A true red color that leans slightly towards the warmer side.

This color goes on vibrant but It only lasted about twenty minutes before it started to fade away.

This is a great cheap drugstore red. You really cant beat the $.99 price tag. However its not my favorite red at the drugstore. But if youre looking for a nice cheap lipstick this works very well.

I love this color. Its cheap and its lasts me the whole day. Its moist and does not dry. I used to wear Mac chili lipstick but this one replaced it. The only thing I do not like is the packaging....

This is RED. sure the packaging is super flimsy. But the color is excellent. Very comfortable non drying... Just don't put it in your bag. That cap will come off.

I'm not really a lipstick kind of lady, but with everyone rocking red lips around me, I wanted to try it out for myself. Retro Red seemed like a good place to start; it was cheap ($1 at Duane...

Retro Red FLOORED me when I tried it on for the first time. It’s so pigmented that it covers my lips with one pass, and it applies so easily that I don’t need liner--and, what’s more, I haven’t...

Do you have warm undertones and have difficulty finding the right red lipstick? If so try this lipstick out. This is my go to red lipstick. And best of all it cost only $1 and it does not have any...

I really wanted to like this red, but the colour is unnatural and appears orange against my skin tone. My b/f burst out laughing when he saw me wearing it and said that it looked awful, and I had...

loooooove this lipstick. the color is timeless. it's super matte but not drying. it does tend to bleed a little due to the creaminess but using a lipliner should help. transfers quite a bit but...

I'm going to start off by saying that the packaging is not the most luxurious thing in the world, but what can you expect from a $2 lipstick? Besides that minor complaint, the colour is beautiful!...

For $0.99, what more could you ask for? The shade is definitely a retro pin-up style red and flattering on my blemished slightly olive slightly yellow complexion. Stays put after a light meal, but...

My favorite red lipstick! It is hydrating and complements my pale skin very well. It made my teeth pop and look white, too!
