The Red Lipstick that Rivals My Very Chic All-time Favorite

I hate word “dupe." It’s a word that has been overused for far too long in the overmarketed beauty world. So, in this instance, I want to share a fabulous replica or a delightful counterpart if you will to my cherished Dior #999 Forever Rouge

REVLON’s Color Stay Matte Lipstick Crayon in Ruffled Feathers.

Several months ago, en route to NYC, and in a moment of sheer absentmindedness, I leave my entire makeup arsenal on the plane. Cue frantic searching in the heart of midtown for a quick fix before an important event the next day. Amidst the aisles of a drugstore, with makeup samples scattered like confetti, I found solace in the Revlon section. And there, amidst the chaos, lies a gem: the REVLON ColorStay Matte Lipstick Crayon. Let me tell you about this shade called Ruffled Feathers—it's like stumbling upon a hidden treasure that is delightfully inexpensive. A rich, deep hue with a hint of red-orange allure that rivals my beloved #999. But it's not just the color that won me over; it's the hydration and staying power that truly stole the show. With its matte finish and cleverly angled tip, it glides on effortlessly, no liner necessary.  I may forever be loyal to my #999, but Ruffled Feathers has carved out a special place in my heart—and my makeup bag. It's become my go-to for videos, photoshoots, or simply when I want that extra pop of color without the hassle of constant touch-ups. Trust me, this one doesn't disappoint.
