MAKEUP: MAC RUFFIAN RED LIPSTICK VS PIBONA RED CARPET LIPSTICK


 Hello people! Hope you are enjoying the new month so far! I have an exciting announcement at the end of this post..kindly make sure you read every single word!!


It is a VS post today, where i'll be comparing MAC'S Ruffian Red and Pibona's Red Carpet Lipsticks. Pibona is a new Nigerian line of mineral makeup and I did a review on the brand some, months back, click HERE to see some of their amazing products if you haven't. I already talked bout these two lipsticks in separate posts so I won't be ranting too much..

Let's compare


 The Pibona Luxury Matte Lipstick:

 
 The quality of this product is quite impressive. It is a rich red that I think will suit most skin tones. It applies like a dream, and is really pigmented. It also stays on for a while, through food and snacks and drinks...

The MAC Ruffian Red:


they say it is a blue toned red, but looks a bit orangey on me ( that's one of the reasons i love it). This type of red might not fit all skin tones as it obviously appears so differently on many people. As usual, MAC doesn't disappoint with this one, pigmentation is good, applies well and lasts...well, long enough.


SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES



Similarities:
They both have great, texture and pigmentation.
They are both have a bit of orange undertone

Differences:
Packaging for one, Ruffian Red comes in the usual solid black mac tube. Pibona Red Carpet also comes in a black tube, not as sturdy. For the price, the printing on the packaging has to be improved, as you can see from the picture, the name has peeled off.
Red Capet is more matte in texture than the Ruffian Red, as the latter has a bit of sheen to it
Red Carpet lasts longer than the Ruffian Red.
Red Carpet ( N3,000) is cheaper than Ruffian Red (N3,900- N4500)

Overall: 




Pibona Red Carpet takes this one mainly because of Longevity and Price.

Where to buy:
Red Carpet:You can purchase this HERE or call 08178808755,for delivery anywhere you are in Nigeria
Ruffian Red: Buy HERE

    I love the personal shopper idea! I know this is done is other countries but - haven't heard of one in Nigeria! Way to go! I hope you won't be expensive! *puppy eyes* and to think Pibona is rubbing shoulders with MAC..wonderful..the growth in Nigeria's fashion and beauty industry is remarkable! Great job as always!
