Dark Lipstick Swatches Part 2/3

This little selection of lipsticks are more raspberry, wine toned shades than the previous swatches. You can find part 1 here and the final part (really dark and purples) should be following soon.
F2 (Fudge) Energy Lip Colour in 19 (Moisturising Frost), now discontinued, this has an almost metallic finish, it's a very rich, vivid raspberry shade with flecks of shimmer to add depth, a really stunning colour.
Lancome Color Fever in 125 Drapee De Rouge, slightly more dull than the F2, there's a pinky tan undertone to this but it's a deep burgundy.
Lancome Color Fever in PS Kiss (US Limited Edition), I've swatched this before and always said it's extremely similar to Drapee De Rouge (even although they may not look similar in the tube). I did find though that it doesn't have the same undertones as DDR, this continues with burgundy all the way through making it ever so slightly deeper.
Wet n Wild Mega Color in Berry Crush, a bright rich raspberry (brighter than F2), has a shimmery not quite metallic finish to it.
Christian Dior Rouge Dior in 976 Plum Plot contains a subtle gold shimmer sheen throughout and is a plum burgundy.
MAC Amplified in Dark Deed, you can just see sporadic shimmer in the tube, but that doesn't show in the swatch. There's an almost black undertone to this, so it comes out a very dark plum.


I've included 2 swatch images, both without the flash, but taken in slightly different lights. As always, click images to enlarge.

  1. wow, they are all so gorgeous! Lipstick of any form doesn't suit me I've found, it just tends to make me look either TOO pale or like I have no lips! c: x
