Having read the reviews on Ruby Woo, I thought it would feel too dry on lips. Yet, I absolutely love this lipstick because it wears long on my lips and looks like the right classic red lipstick.

I have got the Ruby Woo lipstick as a present this Christmas, and I absolutely like the way it wears. In summer it feels somewhat dry on my lips, yet I use it over the lip balm and it works just fine.

I like the Ruby Woo lipstick by MAC. It makes my teeth look whiter and lasts throughout the day. I've already used 1 Ruby Woo lipstick, and the second one is about to finish. So I will have to order another one soon, and I do not feel like I want to try out different brands, like L'Oreal or Maybelline, etc. in terms of red lipsticks.
