Lorac Lips With Benefits: Christian

A bright coral pink with good shimmer. I love this sheered out on my lips for a subtle pop of color during my work day.

TURKISH DELIGHT DUPE

I used to love those little Bonne Bell Lip Smackers when i was a kid. I've never looked into this brand deeper than that but when I was at my local Rite Aid yesterday I saw a new display of Bonne Bell lip products I decided to grab one of the new glosses. I decided on Pink Velvet Gelato, a beautiful baby pink color. As I opened and swatched this gloss I was thinking how close it is to Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss. The color is almost dead on. What I love about this gloss over the Nars is the smell. Nars lip glosses tend to smell like plastic and this Bonne Bell gloss smells like candy. 

For $3.49 you can't beat it.

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.

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.
