Sometimes the idea of a right lip shade can be complicated, as this always depends on the kind of vibe you’re going for. However, when it’s about making bold statement, nothing beats deep, intense red lippies that can go well with any outfit. Red lipsticks with blue undertones also make my teeth look whiter😁. My top favorite has always been the cult classic NARS Cruella with its gorgeous dark red hue that can suit any type of skin tone including that of vampires. One of the major turn-ons would be its pencil applicator that glides on smoothly, the aid of a lip balm isn’t even necessary.

NUDESTIX STILLETO

Now comes the fresh player, Nudestix. I would say this brand is one of my favorite additions to Sephora family and although they’re known for “Go Nude But Better” make up theme, it’s good to know they got what-every-girl-must-have list checked…. a proper and stunning RED lipstick, just because 🙂

As of this writing, their only red lipstick shade Stilleto is not officially out in the market yet but I was able to secure one during the founders/ sisters’ recent event in Sephora ION, Singapore. If you’re Sephora’s black card member, you only needed to purchase any 1 Nudestix product and they’ll give you Nudestix Stilleto lip pencil for free 🙂

Both Cruella and Stilleto have deep red stories to tell. The intensity of the color lasts for a day in the office even with drinks and snacks and snores in-betweens

I decided to come up with a comparison chart (?) that shows both lipstick shades for you to see the close similarity. I am so impressed with the color payoff and yes these products are super hydrating. Above all, both are Cruelty-Free make up brands as certified by the leaping bunny 🙂

You’ll have to forgive my snapchat photos, they are not necessary but just so we can see how these lip shades translate when filtered (also I think I look better in snapchat and that flower wreath is the killer haha)

Final verdict

I love both lipstick brands but since Nudestix Stilleto is yet to be released on September, I’d like to give it more drum drums the hype will be worth it anyway.

Update: the lovely sisters/founders Ally and Taylor might be coming back in September for the official launch of Stilleto (just saying)

Thanks for dropping by 🙂

Love, Peace, Sunshine and vampire red kissmarks
