Sooo in love with them! Creamy, crazy pigmented, stay on, no feathering- seriously better than Ruby/Riri/Russian red (I have all of those). Good reviews on makeupalley also...and both marcelle.com and vasanti.com deliver to US!

This is the embarrassing moment where I admit I haven't tried either of these, despite the fact that I live here...

Red is my favorite lipstick color! Right now I'd have to say RiRi Woo is my favorite red! I just love the color and texture. However, I definitely want to try out some of the red you ladies are loving.

I guess it's only fair if I name some of mine... Although to be fair, I could do separate lists of warm, neutral and cool reds. In general, Chanel has always seemed to bring their A-game to red lipsticks like no one else can, followed by Armani, but there are lots of reds that I love.

Chanel- Cambon and Rivoli; Dragon was my go to killer red until they discontinued it
Armani- The Red (#400 in the Maestro liquid lipstick formula; lives up to its name), #402 (Rouge d'Armani- so cool it almost crosses the border into pink), #608 (they call it plum, but it's red)
Guerlain- Garconne (my replacement for Dragon and I have to admit I prefer the solid formula)
Tom Ford- Reckless

Of course, this doesn't even include deep/ vampy reds, which form a whole separate category in my lipstick system... And yet, I still yearn for more...

@LiliV, @katred Do you girls think Chanel Rouge Coco in "Cambon" is a little bright, neon?! I was interested about this color, as you two have fair/light skin like I do. I noticed that Cambon pulls a little coral, am I right?!

I think the only 2 reds I love anymore are Heaux and Prince Noir!!
I gave my RRW to a friend because after all the fuss I went through to get it, wore it once :| She however adores it!!

So I am currently looking for some new ones!!

"Heaux" is one of the most beautiful lipsticks out there! It's SO gorgeous!!! I love it! I think "Prince Noir" is amazing too, but unfortunately I don't have this one. So sad to read you gave your "RiRi Woo"! I bet it looked THE BOMB on you! Every color do! Quote: Originally Posted by trina11225

"Garconne" from Guerlain looks amazingly beautiful! I saw when Christine (Temptalia) recommended it as a dupe for "Dragon" - the same with Giorgio Armani #400 "The Red". Did you buy those lipsticks based on her recommendations? They seem gorgeous! Like you, I realized that I don't reach for liquid lipsticks often. I prefer the solid versions too. More pratical!
I just don't understand why they discontinued such a beautiful color. Doesn't make sense! It sure is! Very unique!

A bad move from Chanel! Such a waste!!!

Garconne is amazing and it is the best dupe for Dragon that I've come across. It's just a hair warmer, but still reads as a very true "neutral" red on me. I also prefer working with a "traditional" lipstick, so Garconne is really an improvement in many respects. I still love Dragon, though. I've been using my last tube sparingly.

Thumbs up for Garconne!

I love all my Rouge G reds but my current favourite is Gisela. It has quite a bit of brown to it, which makes it a perfect fall red.

Thanks for your thoughts @katred! It's good to know there is a color comparable to "Dragon", in all good terms!

For the price, I really like Sephora Color Lip Last - #19 Pure Red, and #20 Wanted Red. Like the texture, application, longevity!
