Red Lips for Fall | Maybelline Divine Wine + Rum Riche

Hi! 
I've kind of been obsessed with red lips lately this season! I've been wanting a darker red shade for a few weeks and Maybelline Divine Wine was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted this last year but red lips were still out of my comfort zone. I recently saw Elle talk about this in one of her blog posts and I new I wanted to pick it up this year since I've grown more comfortable with bold lips

Maybelline Lipsticks are my favorite from the drugstore. While I was picking up Divine Wine, another red shade called Rum Riche caught my eye. And somehow I ended up coming home with two new red lipsticks. Opps. 

Divine Wine is from the creamy mattes line, and I believe Rum Riche is just from the original color sensation line but I'm not 100% sure. 

Rum Riche
The swatch looks a little bit berry toned but on the lips it looks like a subtle red that has a tiny bit of a brown undertone to it. It may look more berry in the picture from taking it with a flash on. This is a more sheer formula than divine wine. It's pretty on its one and the color is buildable, but I can't wait to try it out with a darker lip liner underneath. It's also a nice color to wear if your not 100% comfortable with a bolder red shade. 

Divine Wine
Divine wine is a gorgoues dark red color. This is darker than the Cruella shade by Nars that I have. The formula to these creamy matte shades are really opaque and are not drying on the lips like other mattes are.


Here's the two side by side to get a better picture of them than the ones above. 

I'm really enjoying these two shades! And like I said before, Maybelline lipsticks are my favorite from the drugstore (and 2nd favorite to Mac ones!). If you haven't tried them before I really recommend them! 

What are your favorite red lip shades?

  1. I agree that Maybelline lipsticks are one of the best from drugstore. I also love Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks, they are equally as good. I don't own Rum Riche and Divine Wine but I think they will be added into my collection soon. You look absolutely gorgeous in both and I am so happy to see you're embracing red lips now! xx

  4. I have Divine Wine but I don't wear it often because I can't get a perfect shape and its so dark so you need it to look perfect! The Rum Riche seems like it would be easier to wear. I love the Maybelline Matte Lipsticks in Touch of Spice and Nude Nuance (just got this one). Touch of Spice has a pinkish/rose tone to the nude and Nude Nuance is more brownish red

    1. Oh my gosh, I had such trouble getting divine wine to look perfect! It was super difficult and especially since I'm still new to dark lips! And you'd love rum Riche! I have touch of spice and it's so nice! I'll have to check out Nude Nuance, thanks go to suggestion Tanya!

  6. I haven't tried any of these lipsticks, but divine wine looks so good! I love that kind of berry red, although sometimes I like wearing a dark vampy red too, but berry red is more wearable and wouldn't attract too much attention to my lips.
