Final Thoughts:
These two Red Lipsticks look very similar on my lips, but on my arm swatch, True Red is two shades brighter than Energy. I love the formulas of the matte lip lacquers from the Miracle Apo line, not so much the gloss collection. The lipstick lasted during and after the hike + wearing a face mask! Highly recommend these lipsticks although you probably do not need both.
On my eyes: I used the eyeshadows from my COCO URBAN 12 COLOR PALETTE with pink glitter on my left eye, gold glitter on my right eye.
Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!
