Retro Chick Reviews – Collection 2000 Volume Sensation Ruby Red

I’d like you to imagine red velvet curtain…. Now mentally swish it aside to reveal…… A TABLE! These are the lipsticks I have reviewed so far, painstakingly marked out of 10 in 5 categories and then ranked in order.

Retro Chick and the Nearly Free Frock

As I’ve mentioned before, the occasional free frock is a perk of writing this blog. I have a bit of a funny relationship with freebies. No one gives you something for nothing and the reason they give me things is they want me to say nice stuff about it in public in the hope that

Retro Chick Reviews – Stargazer Lipstick Shade 135

Today I’m right back down at the bargain end of the scale. On my last review it was suggested that I should start a chart with details of the lipsticks and update it as I go. I was intending to do this once I’ve reviewed all the lipsticks I have, but I shall start working
