Red Apple Lipstick Winter Collection 2015 Swatches

11/17/2015

If you watch my videos on Youtube,(you can find a video of the swatches here) you know I am no stranger to Red Apple Lipstick! They just came out with their Winter collection, and it is stunning. The company always hits it out of the park. I can't say enough that Red Apple lipstick is indeed my favorite company.

For the Collection they came out with six new lipsticks, two lip glosses, three eyeliners, and three lip liners! Holy toledo, they have been working hard over there! I am still dreaming of the Summer Collection, and now this! It's too much to handle for a green beauty enthusiast like myself!

From Top to Bottom: Mabel, Starlette, So Pinkin' Cute, Second Date, Heart 'N Soul, and After Hours

So here are the swatches in natural light. Tell me these are not all gorgeous! Mabel and Starlette are the two first lipsticks, which come in their X Series. Their X Series is more creamy than the rest, and I love the formula. I got these five days ago, and I have worn Mabel every day, I am completely obsessed.

Then the other four are made from the Instant Color formula. The Instant Color formula is my favorite besides the Satin Matte formula. When I tried on Heart 'N Soul, I knew I had found the perfect red for myself. It almost resembles the color of watermelon on my lips, and I love it! Plus, how can we not forget After Hours, AH! I was so excited for them to add a purple to the collection. Red Apple Lipstick is really killing it in the lip product game. I am just waiting on a brown now, please RED APPLE, PLEASE! Okay, on to the lip glosses!

Top to Bottom: Twinkle Toes, Kissyfit

These are the two glosses from the collection. They belong to the original formula gloss family. Their original formula has transformed me into a gloss lover. I wear Tiny Dancer from the Summer Collection all the time. The formula is non sticky, pigmented, and comfortable to wear. These two shades are quite pigmented, more than I have seen in any gloss before. These glosses contain shimmer, and also give a platinum look. The shimmer will stay if you try to wipe it off FYI. These colors are very pretty, and definitely perfect for the holidays.

Lip Liners from Top to Bottom: Natural, Barely Pink, and Dusty Rose

These lip liner colors are to die for! I love all three of them! They definitely don't draw on patchy, as it shows. I was doing this with my left hand, not the best idea I have ever had. They do a great job of lining the lips, as they are supposed to. The lip liners are just as beautiful on their own as well. I wore natural out the first night I received the package. I am totally in love. I hope they come out with more lip liner colors! We can never have enough non-toxic lip liners!!

Eye Liners from Top to Bottom: Cocoa, Eggplant, and Deep Navy

These eye liners are just so beautiful. I have also been wearing cocoa and eggplant together since the day I opened this package. Once again, I swatched this with my left hand. I tried to get more of an even pigmentation of the blue shade, but it kept coming out patchy. Deep Navy doesn't come out patchy when used as an eyeliner though. I do think it is more of a teal/blue than what the name eludes.

I tested these eyeliners out over eye shadow, and got over eight hours of use on my eyelids. I did use them underneath my eye, and it lasted about four to six hours before it started wearing off. I think these are great quality, have great pigmentation, and give a good amount of wear.
Their sale is going on until November 23! Don't forget to check it out! They have an abundance of amazing products. Use the code 'andiegreen' for 22% off of a $50 purchase or more. You can purchase RAL products (here) or by clicking the banner on the side.

Overall this collection is superb! I am never disappointed by Red Apple Lipstick. Thank you to the people over at RAL who sent these to me. I love you guys, and your products! I will forever recommend these beautiful products.

Hi Andie,

Thanks for the video and the blog post on the new RAL stuff. We seem to have a similar taste for lipsticks (my favourite are Gypsy Soul, Ooh La La and Firecracker), so I could not wait to heat about your favourite ones from the new collection.

I have some questions regarding Mabel if I may:

Is it sheer or opaque?
Matte or glossy?
Is it moisturizing?
If you have tried also Maven Mauve, which one fo you like more?

Thank you!

All the best.

Hello Anet! Thanks for commenting! :)

That's awesome! I love that we have the same taste in lip products! I would say Mabel is in the middle of being opaque and sheer. It's not completely opaque as Firecracker or Oh La La, but it's definitely not sheer either. It is moisturizing, and not too glossy. It is in their X Series which is more moisturizing, but I don't think it stays glossy throughout the day. I unfortunately haven't tried Maven Mauve :( I have tried Audrey and it was horrendous on me, haha. So I really like the neutral tone that Mabel encompasses. Thanks for the questions. Always feel free to ask anything! :) Have a nice day!

Hi Andie,

It's me, Anet, again. Happy new year 2016!

Andie, I would like to ask you more about the Kissyfit gloss. I saw your video with swatches and that you were ambivalent about the shimmer. Do you like it more, meanwhile? My main question is how you find the smell of it. I read some people found it offputting. What do you think? How would you compare it to the smell of the Summer Passion formula lipsticks?
Thanks. Your advice helps me a lot, because I am ordering RAL from Europe and it's quite fuzzy, so I take time before I decide :-)
All the best!

Hi Anet! Happy New Year! Yes, it is shimmery and kind of has a platinum look. I prefer their lip glosses from the summer line to be honest. I think these ones are a little too out there for me, at least. The smell is fruity. I did forget to mention that! There's so much that goes into reviews, haha. It's not off putting, as it isn't too intense. I think people were just comparing, not to scare you haha. It's pretty much the same smell as the Summer Passion line, but a but stronger. I only have one from that line, in the color Vogue. Of course, it's no problem. Wow all the way from Europe, I would take my time as well. I hope this is helpful! :)
Thank you, Andie :)

Thank you, Andie!
That helps. Generally, I also prefer no shimmer products, but the shade of Kissyfit caught my attention as a wilder experiment :) However, I think I will choose something different, if you say the smell is even stronger than of SP formula lipsticks. I have Berry Blast and love the colour, but because of the smell, I hardly ever put it on. Just my personal preference. I sip water all the time and do not like lip products alternating taste and smell of my meals and drinks :-)
Anyway, RAL has plenty of options to choose from, so I am not worried! :-)
Have a great day.
Cheers, Anet
