Karen Murrell Red Shimmer lipstick review and swatches

With my new-found love of bright lipsticks, you can imagine my delight when I got my hands on this bright red lippie from Karen Murrell.

Karen Murrell Red Shimmer lipstick

Karen Murrell Red Shimmer lipstick is a bright orange-based red lipstick that was inspired by the bright flowers and red tones of Pohutukawa flowers and I love it!

One thing that slightly confuses me about Karen Murrell Red Shimmer lipstick is the name, try as I might I can’t see a shimmer in it, which as far as I’m concerned is a good thing!

All Karen Murrell lipsticks have a fantastic fresh cinnamon fragrance and the texture is absolutely lovely, thick and creamy so you get full coverage without any pulling or dragging when you apply the lipstick. They’re also lovely and moisturising.
