Maybelline Red Revival is a deep, almost burgundy red (I’m very particular about burgundy reds—they can’t have too much brown in them) with a creamy satin finish. Plus, it comes in a pretty, 1940s-style Lucite lipstick tube.”

Garnier Nutrisse has the bluest, bluest black. It’s totally unnatural, but I love it. I’ve tried a few times to use more natural hair dyes, but I can’t find anything as blue-black as this.”
