I love the gorgeous Rockalily lipsticks from fab blogger ReeRee Rockette, whose blog is a homage to all things 1950′s and Rockabilly. With two blue-based reds (Rockette Red and Roulette Red) and one orange based red (Hot Rod Red) in the line-up as well as a blue-based pink (Pompadour Pink), the lipsticks are full of Vitamin E so you don’t end up with dry lips. Better yet, they’re paraben free and certainly not tested on animals.
Oooh, very intriguing! Each color looks gorgeous!
Gorgeous colours! What’s the pigment like on these lippies Jane? Welcome back! xx
I haven’t tried them Kenneth – was for info only on this occasion! xx
LOVE these! Must try them!!
I like the look of these and will probably buy one, not least of all to support a British indie line, but I did think really? She couldn’t find a single good blue red anywhere? I could name 4 or more off the top of my head!
Hi Grace
When I started looking for a red lipstick to start wearing daily, I honestly found most shop assistants couldn’t tell me which were blue based. I ended up buying lots of reds that I just never wore, after trying them on at home.
The red I ended up wearing was too drying, and I found I had to take days off to give my lips a rest.
I just felt it shouldn’t have been so hard to find!
Hope that helps to explain a little!

Hi ReeRee – thinking about it, three of my top four are US brands (Kevyn Aucoin Bloodroses, Julie Hewett Femme Noir and Besame Besame Red) so you wouldn’t have found them at a UK counter – I had them shipped from the US. The more accessible ones are quite recent (Tom Ford Cherry Lush and Guerlain Rouge G Greta) and also v expensive! Thanks for your reply. x
