'Til The Last Drop #25

Welcome to ‘Til The Last Drop: a bi-monthly column in which I, CF Beauty Editor, Olivia Bennett, share my review of a favourite cult product that I (truly) use to the last drop. This week’s featured product is MAC ‘Ruby Woo’ retro matte lipstick.

I’m messaged by friends and family, at all hours of the day, with recommendation requests for everything from “the budget gel moisturiser that works with combination skin” to “the hard-hitting eye cream that will make Botox a last resort”, and queries on “whether X, Y, and Z from the current trending brand are REALLY worth the hype”.

Such incessant inquiries sparked this column, where I’ll cover best-selling names alongside under-the-radar brands to note. You’ll hear about blow-the-budget products that live up to their hefty price tag and the purse-friendly steals which I unashamedly turn to time and again.

No need to text me, I’ll be sharing all my intel with you right here every other week. Tune in.


THE ICONIC RED LIP

With Valentine's Day around the corner it seems befitting to dedicate this week's column to the most seductive beauty product of all: red lipstick. It is a divisive and bold make-up choice: I've heard so many friends claim 'it just doesn't suit me', but it's my job to convince you otherwise. As timeless as straight-leg denim or a classic white shirt, red lipstick is perennially chic. One such foolproof iteration that lives up to universally flattering claims is MAC's Matte Lipstick in shade 'Ruby Woo'. This punchy red (importantly with blue undertones), works with all complexions and even makes your teeth appear whiter. Very clever. As for the formula itself, it has wonderful colour pay off and staying power, without feathering into fine lines. The matte finish means it won't fade either, and the texture looks as fresh by day as it does for night. Pucker up!
