My Favorite Reds #obsessed #lips #pucker

Well I thought it would make sense that my first blog on this site be about what inspired the name behind Snap and Pucker. Yup, you guessed it, my favorite red lipsticks. Who doesn't love a good red lipstick? It photos well and let's be honest, it stands out. The following are in my purse on a daily basis, I'm literally #obsessed. 

#1 Revlon Color Matte Balm Standout $6.95 Walmart

I was strolling through the store one day and came across this little gem. I was looking for a lipstick that wouldn't rub off as soon as I put it on. I figured I would give it a whirl and try it out. One of the best decisions I have ever made. The shade is a deep red. This lipstick goes on and does not rub off easy at all. I'm talkin stays on even when I use a makeup remover stays on. The lipstick also dries very quickly and doesn't smudge. It's also user friendly and great for on the go. It's my go to lipstick during the work week. It doesn't feel heavy on the lips either. It's the real deal. The stick creates the perfect pucker. If you don't believe me, check out my "About" section of this site. I catch myself strolling through the Revlon section whether I am at Walmart, Target, CVS, Ulta, etc. just to see if they have them in stock. Sometimes I hit the jackpot and stock up (5 or 6 at a time). Not kidding. I have some that still have the wrapper on them, just in case I run out. Who am I kidding? I'm not going to run out but for some reason I am #obsessed with this lipstick. Thumbs up Revlon. 

#2 Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint Bae $20 Sephora

This lipstick, excuse me, lip paint is killer for a night out on the town. Want all eyes on you? This is your Bae. Since it is a lip paint it is a little thicker than your usual lipstick. You will definitely grab the fellas attention with this red little number. This is not a roll on lipstick rather it's more like a lip gloss. It does have a little bit of shine when you put it on. This one will take more than a quick second to put on, but once you do, you'll feel like a totz different person. You can find this one at Sephora, Ulta, or anywhere Tarte makeup is sold. This whole line is killer. Watch out though, don't go puckering the lips too quickly as the one downfall for this lipstick is it takes a minute to dry. Give it a few and then your free to take puckered selfies all night long. #obsessed with this tarty little number. 

#3 MAC Vevletease Lip Pencil Reddy To Go $20 MAC Cosmetics

Okay so I have to be honest, I have a love/hate relationship with this one. This red pop of color is explosive. It's a cherry red color that can make your puckers really puck! I stumbled across this lip pencil while I was strolling through Nordstrom one day at the mall. Not really looking for a new lipstick and probably adding to my shoe #obsession, I stopped by the mac counter. I took this what looks like a crayon and drew it on my skin. Wow, that is a HOT red lipstick. I wondered what it would look like on my lips, so I asked the clerk if I could try it. He gave me a lip gloss tester and I put it on. Yup, still a HOT red. I figured I would give it a whirl so I purchased it, along with my pair of shoes. I told you I was #obsessed. This lightweight lipstick pops. This lipstick has two downfalls. One is that you have to go over your lips several times to get the right shade of red. Two, when you run out you run out. It doesn't twist and more lipstick comes out. I've even taken my eyeliner sharpener to it. FYI do not do that, it was an epic fail. This is my weekend daytime lipstick. Selfies in the sun are this shades' best friend. 

Here's the thing, red lipstick sometimes can be a little much and quite intimidating and lots of people are cautious to wear it. Personally, I love it.  I always feel confident when wearing it and walk little bit taller (hey this 5'2" girl will take anything!). Don't be afraid of it. Anyone can where it and it goes with any hair color (red, blonde, brunette, yes even someone with blue or purple hair). 

There you have it folks. My three favorite reds. My suggestion, buy all three and see which one works best for you, trust me you will be #obsessed too.
