Red Apple Lipstick Company makes beautiful healthier lipsticks, glosses, lip liners, and lip care products.  However, this certified vegan company also makes nontoxic formulations of gorgeous eye shadows.  They kindly sent along their Fall/Winter 2013 collection with a compact to store for this review.

I must confess the first thing you notice is the how stunning these matte shades are.  The colors, which I also swatched for you are:  Sugar & Spice (soft cinnamon with beige); Sage Rage ( taupe with yellow-green); Clean Slate (medium gray); Pixie Dust (whisper of pink); Secret Garden (forest green), and VooDoo (medium purple).  

From left nearest my wrist to the right are: Sugar & Spice, then Sage Rage, Secret Garden, Pixie Dust, Clean Slate with VooDoo on the right.

These are cruelty free eye shadows that have no talc, parabens, gluten, or soy that went on smoothly and lasted for hours without creasing or fading.

The shades were fun pairing up for different looks.  Usually, I am not one that typically wears green eye shadows, but Secret Garden (for lid color), Clean Slate (for the crease), and Pixie Dust (for the highlight) was quite attractive with my dark brown eyes.  Another excellent combination I loved was VooDoo (for the lid), Sugar & Spice (for the crease) and Pixie Dust again (for the highlight shade).

Here is Sugar & Spice on the left with VooDoo on the right.  This really is a pretty effect when blended.

The shadows were individually packaged singles that I just popped in place in their Twosie Compact that fit two at a time.  It retails for $6.95. You can buy other sizes of their compacts to handle up to nine shadows for $20.00.

If you are trying to find safer cosmetics that are made in the United States, then I suggest visiting Red Apple Lipstick Company.  The shadows shown retail for $18.95 each.  Do become acquainted with their fine products because I know you like them once you do.

Red Apple Lipstick

A few months ago, I discovered Red Apple Lipstick Company and their wonderful lipsticks and glosses.  Of course, they have a stunning selection of moisture-rich shades that drench lips in hydrating comfort, but the purity of their nontoxic formulations makes the products from this certified vegan company even more beautiful in my book.  

This is a company that makes it their mission to safeguard our health, manufacturing with strict control here in the United States instead of abroad where regulations may be less than acceptable.  All their cruelty-free products have no gluten, parabens, soy, or fragrance to best safeguard against allergies.

I was sent the six new lipstick colors for Fall/Winter 2013 and must confess they are must-haves!  Check out the photo below.  Starting on the left is Swoon (a bit of brown, hint of plum topped off with a touch of copper), then Reddish Fetish (a lively berry-red), Fierce (a bold, deep wine), Barcelona (a medium red-brown like red brick), Light My Fire (copper-red), and ending with Ravishing (glamorous red-pink) on the right.

In the below photo, I am modeling Swoon.

What do you think of me in Fierce?

Here I  am wearing Light My Fire. 

In this next photo, I have Barcelona on.

How do you like me in Ravishing?

Though I loved all of these shades, Reddish-Fetish is one of my favorites below.  It has warmth and versatility to make it work with any outfit.  Do you agree?

I also got to try two of Red Apple's lip care products.  The first is their Exfoliate Stick.  This white tube with blue granules is what you need to smooth your lips and rid yourself of dry skin before applying any of these great lipsticks.  Later, I just wiped it off with a clean cloth and got a prettier surface.  By the way, this little tube also helps make your lipstick application last even longer!

Rallye Balm is an intensive healing balm that your chapped lips will demand once you try it out.  My lips loved the pampering from their formula.

Red Apple Lipstick is a great way to indulge your lipstick habit.  They have all the stylish colors you demand with ingredients that can give you peace of mind.  The Exfoliate Stick retails for $17, Rallye Balm ($15), and the lipsticks shown are ($23.50) each.

You can also save 20% off your purchase if you enroll in their Red Apple VIP Club, where you'll get monthly email with another 20% off an online coupon.  

The company so believes in helping you discover safer lip products that they offer a wonderful trade-in policy.  Simply send them your old tube plus $5.00 shipping and handling for that new Red Apple one.  

The holiday season is when you want to look especially glamorous.  If you haven't tried any of their products yet, I highly recommend visiting Red Apple Lipstick to learn more and then do order!
