The red lipstick dilemma

I don't own that many red lipsticks. Well, not as many as other colours like pinks and browns. Why? Because red is hard for me to wear, and it can be difficult to find a red that flatters my colouring. I thought in this post I'd show you the few reds that I do own, and perhaps you can suggest a red lipstick that I should look into (read: please help me)...

I LOVE this colour and this lipstick smells so yummy. It is more on the matte side so it does  have okay lasting power. The only reason I'm looking for another red is because I can't take this out with me - the packaging is toooo tacky for me to be able to whip it out in a nightclub bathroom and apply.

Arbonne Jam
This is a really nice red wine kind of red and it does frequently make an appearance in my handbag when I'm going somewhere exciting. I wore this to my 21st actually (I will do a 21st blog post soon!) and it went perfectly with my outfit. But, as I have said, I would like a bright red.

Rimmel Drop of Sherry
This is frosty and also kind of pink toned. I can wear this one without hesitation, but I want something more of a true red.

Rimmel Temptation
This was one of the first lipsticks I bought, and I've never worn it out! I get too scared and end up wiping it off before I leave the house. It's such a nice colour though, and I think next time I head out in a LBD I will give this one a go (wish me luck). I used to think this was too blue toned for me, but it doesn't seem that bad...

So I've been eyeing off MAC Ruby Woo lately...and by eyeing off, I mean obsessing, and looking at tons of swatches. I reeaaally want it! What do you ladies think? Should I go for it?

Do you have trouble with red lipsticks? What are some of your favourites?
