So I bought 3 lipstick samplers that came in a small paper box about the size of a matchbox. Each sampler came with two colors with three "match sticks" with the color on them giving about 2 uses each stick. As for the colors, I got Merlot, Cherry Red, Red Velvet, Red Hot Red, Besame Red, and American Beauty.
Here are the actual descriptions of the colors from the website itself.
- MERLOT: Semi-matte brick red. Neutral enough for daily wear on any skin tone.
- CHERRY RED: Deep, rich cherry that can be worn as a sheer rose stain or opaque.
- RED VELVET: A deeper red suitable for everyday wear. Neutral and subdued.
- RED HOT RED: Marilyn Monroe’s favorite. A bold and brazen warm red.
- BÉSAME RED: True red with a cooler, blue-toned base—brightening and vibrant.
- AMERICAN BEAUTY: (there wasn't a description for this color, so I assume it's new) on me, it's a very pink-red

Overall I LOVE these lipstick colors. My favorites are Cherry Red and American Beauty they are the most different than ANY other reds in my collection! They are very creamy and have opaque color even as the tiny match stick and give the lips a stain after the color wears off. But mind you, it takes that color a WHILE to wear off to a stain! I can't wait to buy the full size of these!
I hope that you enjoyed this makeup ramble! I think any makeup fanatic should have a good red lipstick as part of their arsenal!
Drink up, beauties!
