NYC Ruby 305B is a coral red with gold shimmer. I like the application of this lipstick. It is very smooth and it feels very nice on the lips. It is not at all drying. The shade itself is very...

I got this because 1) it was ridiculously cheap and 2) I love red lipstick, but I'm very fair, so unless it's sheer, I look like Cruella DeVil. And the reviews say this shade is pretty...

This looked awful on me. First of all this is very shimmery, very fuschia/raspberry and not in an attractive way but a cheap garish way. No red or ruby detected in the pigments.The pigment settled...

Red with bright pink/coral undertones. I have cool-toned skin and I only like the way this looks in the summer when I have a bit of color. It's a very wearable red if you don't tend to wear reds,...

I wouldn't repurchase in this shade, but I like their Ultra Moist Lipwear line. It's too bright and garish for me, since I'm on the young side of Makeupalley users. If I smooth on a thin coat and...

Love this! It is difficult to find a red that compliments darker skin, so I generally shy away from reds. This is a red lipstick that will flatter all skin tones. I'm also not a lipstick fan...

Surprisingly good lipstick for the price. The color is not too dramatic and goes well with my fair skin.

This was my first red lipstick because i wanted to add one to my collection. The color is very nice red, not to bright but just right. It contains goldish shimmer in it, but when worn on the lips...

On my lips it's a red colour with a very slight hint of a pink colour, and gold shimmer. I've always been big on pink lipcolours as I think that's what looks best on me. This is my first reddish...

This is really a lovely color. On me it's a very pinky red with a nice amount of shimmer. To me it looks similar to MAC New York Apple but leaning more toward pink than red. (plus if my 3 year old...

Ruby is almost fushia when I look at it in the tube. When applied, it looks like a very bright coral red that should work well for both cool and warm toned ladies, although I think that the cool...

Let me be the first to say, I don't hate NYC lipstick packaging. It makes it easy for me to find a color, and it's shaped like a bullet like MAC l/s. Secondly, I love a lot of the Ulta Moist...

It is a great lipstick as all of the other NYCs. However the shade is not very right for me. First I am an Asian with light/med coloring, pretty warm, falling in FFF/GGG region. The l/s is a bit...

How sultry and sexy is this color!? I was really looking to branch out and really hit this one on the nail. It's a deep fuchsia that is just amazing. Smooth, gorgeous, smells good, no taste....
