I like the look of these and will probably buy one, not least of all to support a British indie line, but I did think really? She couldn't find a single good blue red anywhere? I could name 4 or more off the top of my head! ;)
When I started looking for a red lipstick to start wearing daily, I honestly found most shop assistants couldn't tell me which were blue based. I ended up buying lots of reds that I just never wore, after trying them on at home.
The red I ended up wearing was too drying, and I found I had to take days off to give my lips a rest.
I just felt it shouldn't have been so hard to find!
Hi ReeRee - thinking about it, three of my top four are US brands (Kevyn Aucoin Bloodroses, Julie Hewett Femme Noir and Besame Besame Red) so you wouldn't have found them at a UK counter - I had them shipped from the US. The more accessible ones are quite recent (Tom Ford Cherry Lush and Guerlain Rouge G Greta) and also v expensive! Thanks for your reply. x

Hope that helps to explain a little!
