Red Apple Lipstick

When I learned I had Celiac disease and realized that not only was my diet going to have to completly change but my beauty products and pretty much anything I touched would have to be gluten free. I was so confused about labels and what was safe and what wasn't especially when it came to makeup, skincare and hair care. Go take a look at the labels on your products and tell me if you have any clue what is in them and what isn't. One of the first few companies I was lucky enough to come across was Red Apple Lipstick. As soon as a clicked on the website the first thing that caught my eye was that the products were gluten free, paraben free, cruelty free, allergen free, soy free and vegan. I have very sensitive skin as you know but my lips and eyes are probably the most sensitive. The first thing I did was contact the company headed by Jay Harper and believe it or not the person that responded to me was Jay Harper. How often does the head of the company email you back? In my experience it almost never happens. The thing that amazed me the most was how passionate he was about RAL products and the direction he wanted the company to go in and grow. The very first product I tried a few years back was their   Raylle Balm. A balm that not only hydrates your lips but heals them as well and as an added bonus can be used on your cuticles, dry patches of skin and even under your eyes to help hydrate and heal. It is just a great product that everyone should have because it is multi purpose and has high quality ingredients that will not irritate people with the most sensitive of skin. I also ordered RAL 's Rubby Slippers, Secrets, Red, Petal  Pusher lip sticks and a gloss in Bridesmaid. Since I already did a review on those already I will just let you know that Red is the perfect red that looks great on everyone and makes your teeth look whiter. Ruby Slippers and Secrets are perfect everyday colors that I always grab for and compare other lipsticks to. Petal Pusher  is a gorgeous bright pink that reminds me of the perfect summer lip and if you top it of with the Bridesmaid you have the perfect pink lip with added shine and sparkle.

The company has expanded and now has eyeshadows, lip pencils, eye liner and even an exfoliating lip product that according to the website is packaged like a lipstick but is used to exfoliate the dead skin off those chapped lips leaving you smooth soft lips perfect for applying any lipstick, gloss or Maybe even some Raylle Balm before bed so you wake up with beautiful hydrated lips. I have been wanting to try this product since a subscriber emailed me about how much she loved it but keep forgetting to order it but it will be my next purchase.

The products I did order are new to the line and I don't know how they did it but these high definition glosses and new lipsticks are even more amazing. RAL states that the glosses are high definition and that they are so pigmented that a little goes a long way. So if you want a bold lip you give it a swipe and your good to go and if you want just a wash of color then you can sheer it out by using
less product. As for the lipsticks I must say I completly disagree with RAL's advertising because they are not labeled high def but they are so creamy and pigmented that they  should be considered high def and long wearing.

Let's start off with RAL lipstick in Mix and Mingle. It is a beautiful fuschia that is so pigmented you can wear it as a really bold look or just or put a tiny bit on the center of your lips to give you a wash of pink. It almost has a purple undertone to it (I think) so I love it and purple/Radiant Orchid is this years color. 

Next up we have Firefly an orange color with a hint of sparkle. I know your thinking who wears orange lipstick? Well look in any beauty magazines or websites and you will see that this summer orange is going to be one of the top lip colors for summer.

On to RAL's High definition glosses. Let's start with the beautiful Bashful a perfect pink that is your lips but better. I don't want to say its a nude because on me it isn't a pale pink nude but it's a deeper almost rose nude rather than a pink nude. A perfect everyday looks good on everyone color that is highly pigmented and last a long time (I swatched both glosses on my hand and they were there all day even though I wash my hands a million times a day).

 Finally my favorite a high def gloss called Pink Lady, a perfect hot pink that is bold and easy to build the perfect makeup look around with the main focus being your lips and if the hot pink color is to much for you to handle you can use a tiny amount for a wash of pink rather then a bold shiny hot pink that makes your lips pop.

I can say without a doubt that every Red Apple Lipstick product I have tried  I love. They are high quality products that beat high end makeup brands because the formulas are creamy and not sticky and they last a really long time. Plus they are made without harmful ingredients that you see in products at your local drugstore,  sephora, Ulta or MAC stores. The customer service you get from RAL is top  knotch and they are so passionate about getting high quality products  out there and making them with only the best ingredients that are safe. I know one day this company will be on QVC or available in stores all over the United States. Once you try one RAL product your hooked and will want to try them all.
