I need to start wearing makeup again, cause I want all of those! I do have another retro red already that's not Ruby Woo. Russian Red I think? Something like that. And I got a good hot pink from Besame, which I can never figure out how to wear.

Russian Red is the very first lipstick that Frank and Frank ever made, and how MAC was born. Frank and Frank (one was a make up artist and one was a photographer) noticed on photo shoots they just couldnt find stuff with the right pigments. So they made it Russian Red in their apartment in Toronto in a frying pan. :) How cool is that? (they started selling make up on sets and the rest is history.)
I like to pair these with simple black eyeliner. There's 2 I really like. One is called blacktraxx. I like it because its a cream, you put it on with a brush and its also a matte. (If I had my way every girl in your retro wedding would wear ruby woo, blacktraxx eyeliner slightly winged and LASHES. (#33!) anyhow.. the other is called rapidblack and its like a marker. A very very pointy marker. Awesome. I just ordered both. yay!

Also, Ruby Woo is much dryer than Russian Red. Like crazily. I like Russian red but I think Ruby Woo has more staying power.
