MAC Ruby Woo
Performance - Packaging - Price
Swatched Center
MAC RUBY WOO = is a beautiful classic blue based matte red.
.1 oz or 3g
It can be a VERY drying on the lips. It's good to use a lip conditioner in advance.
That still didn't feel like it helped though.
- Smells like vanilla.
It cost $14.50. Standard MAC packaging for lipsticks.
- Has a steel base and a plastic cap.
- Has notches on the base to grasp the cap...click!
Swatched Left
Revlon REALLY RED 006 = a smooth application.
1.5 oz or 4.2g
Packaging is superior to the other two lipsticks.
Has a steel base and cap.
- Has notches to grasp the cap ...click!
- Has a clear window on top so you can see the color.
No discernable scent.
MORE moisturizing than the MAC Ruby Woo.
It' is less expensive than the high end brand.
It retails for about $7 and is available at mass retailers and or drugstores.
Sometimes you can buy it for half price.
I got mine on clearance for a couple of dollars.
Swatched Right
NK RUBY RED 100 = more pigmented (bluer base) and more moisturizing than the other two shades.
No size indicated on packaging.
- Smells like rosewater.
- It can be mattified by using cornstarch or any transparent setting powder.
(Thanks to DiamondDiva for the tip)
- Has plastic base and cap.
Not very durable packaging, but it is good to be able to view the shade of lipstick.
- Has notches on the base to grasp the cap...click!
- It is available at beauty supply stores for $1.
This was more emollient than either of the above lipsticks. It has a different finish.
It is not matte.
Believe it or not, this was my favorite! Which one do you think looks best?
Hey sis...looking good. Thanks so much for this comparison :D
ReplyDeleteHey hun,thanx 4comparison,they all r pretty but I think I would prefer the Revlon one I dont like drying lipsticks at all btw they all look pretty on u. When it comes to Mac lipstucks I only buy Amplified creme lipsticks as they r not too drying
ReplyDelete@ rmcandlelight...Hey rmcandlelight! Thanks for stopping by & the lovely compliment. :O) You're welcome.
ReplyDelete@ Sher...You're very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Thanks also for the compliment. I love MAC Amplified Cremes best. This was my very 1st time using one of their Matte formulas. I used a lip conditioner, but my lips still felt dry.
I'm hooked on my Ruby Woo ...I think because its matte so no bleeding.

I just got the NK Ruby Red today and I have always been self conscious about wearing Red lipstick but I must say its growing on me. I also saw that Wet n Wild MegaLast Spotlight Red is great inexpensive dupe as well, and its Matte. You can get it for $2.99 at most stores and $1.99 at Five Below
