-   RubyHue Lipstick Review  -  

Brutally honest reviews   *   All my own purchases   *   Accurate swatches
This is a non-vanity, non-commercial blog with a strictly no corporate pandering policy.
I only buy for my own use.  This means I can bitch about any annoying defects I encounter without fear of displeasing my freebie-dispensing overlords because let's face it: bubble-headed samplewhores are ruining reviews for everyone.

​I use a Nikon dSLR & Photoshop CS (only to more accurately represent a difficult shade), ​and work on a late-model iMac, which supports good colour rendering.  For best viewing results, please view using your highest-end device.


Lipstick is important.  It also tends to be expensive, so if you're sweating bullets about spending $40 you don't really have on something that might look horrible, I feel your pain and am happy to answer your questions about dupes or duds or HG must-haves to be best of my ability.  Just flick me a mail via CONTACT.
