Red Apple Lipsticks Review: All Natural, Beautiful Lip Color

If your eyes light up when you spot a gorgeous shade of lipstick and you prefer natural, safe ingredients then you will love Red Apple Lipstick. Back in January I reviewed these silky smooth, beautiful lip products in some rich shades; today I am featuring some of the hottest new colors from the line.


Red Apple is a cosmetic brand that specializes in creating chemical free lipsticks as well as a variety of other cosmetics. The lipsticks are: all natural, gluten free, cruelty free,vegan, allergen free, paraben free, and contain no petroleum or lead.


These lipsticks are formulated to improve the health of your lips with their buttery, hydrating formula and blending shades together can create custom colors! They also contain some wonderful ingredients such as organic butters, vitamin E and nourishing natural oils.

I am a big fan of this brand because they make their lipsticks in small batches to maintain freshness and the formula drenches lips in velvety smooth, beautiful color. The texture is creamy, alleviates dryness, and makes lips feel soft and supple.

The shades I have are Mix & Mingle which is a “fun, flirty fuchsia” that make lips pop with gorgeous pinkness! During the summer I rock this shade with shimmery shadow and winged liner. If you are on the hunt for a bold, rich pink then I definitely recommend this shade!


I’m the kind of girl who doesn't shy away from bright, in-your-face color so I decided to get these two new shades to add subtle variety to my collection. Brazilliant is a pink lipstick with slight orange and coral undertones. This shade is on the neutral side on most skin tones and is great for everyday wear. I love the light iridescent shimmer and paired with sultry, smokey eye shadow it balances perfectly! 


Petal Rebel is a pretty frosty pink suitable for every occasion and looks ravishing with pretty much anything. This is yet another color that looks great on most skin tones and transitions through the seasons.



I think it is nearly possible not to fall in love these lipsticks. They are non-irritating, non-feathering and glide on effortlessly for long-lasting, dazzling color!

There are so many wonderful shades to choose from on the website that it may be difficult to decide. Below are the 3 shades I previously reviewed which I have been totally obsessed with!

The lipsticks retail for $23.50 each and are worth every penny! You can find the website by clicking HERE

100 Percent Pure Cosmetics


If you have been tuned in for a while then you may have noticed that I have been reviewing many natural beauty brands. With all the chemicals in the environment every little bit helps even if you can't completely eliminate all the risks.

Today I have an interesting review on a brand called 100% Pure. The name alone is enough to give a good indication that these products are natural. They are also vegan, perfume and fragrance free and contain no thickeners or emulsifiers. This line is great for those who have sensitive skin because there are no toxic chemicals in these cosmetics and they contain antioxidants to help prevent free radicals and protect against sun damage. Although they don’t contain artificial preservatives they are enriched with natural preservatives and antibacterial herbs such as honeysuckle, oregano, goldenseal and rosemary.

Natural Pigment
The unique thing about these cosmetics is that they are colored from fruits and vegetables rather than synthetic dyes. The beautiful shades get their pigmentation from fruits such as strawberries and blueberries which also make them high in vitamins.

Fruit Pigmented Lip Glaze in the color Cherry
The lip glazes come in a wide variety of exquisite shades. They are gluten free, contain anti-aging benefits and provide nutrients to keep lips healthy and in great shape. The color I have is a beautiful cherry hue, great for many skin tones.

My favorite thing about this lip glaze is the texture. It glides onto the lips velvety smooth while avocado and cocoa butter provide long lasting creamy hydration. The texture reminds me of the Revlon Lip Butters except this glaze is all natural, less glossy and smells slightly fruity! The pigmentation is great, it has the effect of a rich lipstick with the comfort of a moisturizing balm and the quality is marvelous!

The packaging is also very feminine and elegant



You can find these lip glazes HERE they retail for $22 each.

Fruit Pigmented Blush
Many of the blushes from 100% Pure are soft,  fresh and come in great shades for spring and summer. They are also available in a variety of finishes. I have the color Peach which appears very subtle and natural on my skin tone. The texture is smooth, non-chalky and easy to work with. 


The packaging is very nice, it comes in a shiny light pink mirrored compact with dainty floral etchings. The shade Peach contains no shimmer but seems to illuminate the face nicely and helps boost the complexion.

You can find more information HERE the blush retails for $36

Lip and Cheek Tint
As I've said before I like multipurpose products. This smooth, fruity cream functions as a fetching blush with a slight sheen and as an alluring lip tint. 


The color I have is called Cocoa Berry which is a bronze shade with pink undertones, perfect for soft looks. I apply my cream products using my fingers and blend them in. For the longest wear I recommend setting this cream with a powder to prevent transfer.


The tube deign makes the product easy to work with, especially while on the go and there is quite a lot of product per tube. 

You can find the lip and cheek tints HERE they retail for $21 each.
