The Perfect Shade Of Rockalily Red
Twitter and Beauty Blogs all over have recently raved about Rockalily Lipsticks, a new brand of lipstick launched by ReeRee Rockette, a London Blogger turned business woman. Celebrated for offering the perfect shade of red, being easy to apply, non-drying with lots of staying power, Rockalily customers have been supporting the brand by sending in pictures of themselves wearing their lipstick – connecting to the message of an alternative beauty.
Rockalily owner, ReeRee herself sounds downright fun and quirky: “I wanted Rockalily to celebrate an alternative femininity – I thought of everything I loved about how my friends and I dressed - bright red lips, tattoos, leopard print and vintage style inspiration. Rockalily Ladies aren’t afraid to be seen, and are confident in their own awesomeness.
I was tired of trying to find my perfect red lipstick. I was overwhelmed with lipstick choices, but disappointed with their colours. Some were too dry, some too dull, some made my teeth seem yellow whilst others bled beyond my lip line. I knew I wanted a blue-based red lipstick but beauty assistants didn’t appear to know what I meant when asked for one!
So I decided to start my own brand of lipsticks, where less really could be more.”
There are four shades for you to find your perfect colour and you can buy them online and trawl her fun website with its many customer pictures that almost bring you back to a page in the 50s where red rocked .. and from what we hear, it still does today.
Go check out: www.rockalily.com or if you are in London, they are exclusively stocked in The Powder Room (Soho and Shoreditch).
