FINALLY

I finally got my hands on the ever so famous Whitening Lightening/Gerard Cosmetics Color Your Smile Lipglosses. These glosses have been talked about for forever. I held out for as long as I could but seeing that Jaclyn Hill came out with her own color of lipgloss I made a purchase instantly. We all know that Jaclyn Hill wouldn't steer us wrong so I knew her gloss would be fabulous. 


The colors I picked up are nude, raspberry sherbet, and rose hill.

I have to say that these glosses are as fabulous as everyone says. They are creamy and highly pigmented. You can wear these alone or over lipstick for a more intense look. 

Raspberry Sherbet

"Raspberry Sherbet was inspired by long summer days filled with our favorite ice-cold sweet treats. This bold and juicy hue is ideal for days when you want to steal the spot-light and is a bright pink every girl needs in her makeup bag. Mix this color with other lighter hues to tone it down or rock it on its own and indulge in the fun of this stand-out lip gloss."





Nude

"Our fresh and fun lighted lip gloss contains collagen peptides to boost moisture and fullness for the perfect pout. NUDE is a creamy, full coverage gloss, a sultry hue that pairs well with an ultra dramatic smokey eye or an everyday look. Our best-seller and a staple for any lip junkie."




The handle of the lip gloss lights up when you open it making it easy to reapply when your out at night or in the club. Partayy!




Rose Hill

"Rose Hill is a romantic and feminine hue created by beauty expert Jaclyn Hill. Springtime is an inspiring and uplifting season that allows you to experiment with more playful colors so after going through her entire collection she realized that the world needed the perfect rosy red for the everyday glamazon.Ultra Pigmented and buttery smooth, this full coverage gloss can be worn alone toned down with our famous nude gloss (one of Jaclyn’s beauty secrets). See the makeup world through Rose Colored Glasses and shop Jaclyn’s favorites below."





These glosses are amazing. If you are on the fence like I was for a while i definitely think you should take the leap and purchase them.

LIME CRIME

I've wanted to try a lipstick from Lime Crime for a while but the colors that i had my eye on have been sold out for months so I patiently waited and last week when I saw Babette and Coquette were back in stock I jumped on it and made a purchase. 

Coquette is a highly pigmented creamy nude lipstick with a creme finish. This color can look a little dead  on me by itself so I usually top it with a pink or nude gloss to balance it out. 






Babette is a bright coral lipstick with the same creamy and highly pigmented finish as Coquette. These lipsticks are no joke. One swipe on the lips is all you need to deliver color. I find these lipsticks last about four hours until I feel the need to touch up and reapply. I do find that they bleed outside the lip line slightly so I use a lipliner.





And can we just talk about the packaging? A glittery unicorn; could it get any better? 

Overall I really like these lipsticks and I am looking forward to pairing these with glosses to switch it up.

Retail: $18.00 at www.limecrime.com

COLOR ENVY

I am not all that familiar with the Estee Lauder Cosmetic Line but when I heard everyone raving about these Pure Color Envy lipsticks I just had to take a peak at them. I headed to my local Macy's with the intention of just swatching them but when I got there and saw them in person I ended up coming home with two of them. Don't ya just hate when that happens?

The lipsticks are the epitome of luxe and glamour. The packaging is very weighty and luxurious feeling with a magnetic closure similar to the Tom Ford lipsticks. The product inside is just as amazing. These lipsticks glide on the lips easily and feel like a balm throughout the whole wear. There are a vast variety of colors but I picked two inside my comfort zone. 

310 Potent is a beautiful peachy nude. This lipstick lasts about 6 hours on the lips before a reapply is needed but I usually reapply before then because it just feels so good on the lips. 










210 Impulsive is a classic pinky nude color that I don't have enough of so I had to pick it up. (you believe me right?) This is the same standard of quality as the previous color. This will be a staple in my purse and will get much love. 





You need these lipsticks, just get them already. ;)

Retail: $30.00 at Macys & other department stores.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

The Limited Edition Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks were staring at me when I was in my local Walgreens the other night. While the phrase "Limited Edition" usually gets to me and I end up buying every color, Jungle Peach was the only color that looked appealing to me. 

Jungle Peach is a peachy nude color with the classic Super Lustrous sheen finish. While this color is beautiful, it tends to look a little too orange on my lips alone so I top it with a nude gloss to tone it down  some. I want to play around with different lip liners and glosses to find the best color combination for me. 





Retail: $7.99 at Drugstores
