Review: the Balm Girls Lipstick: Mai Billsbepaid

Hello! Today I want to share my thoughts on this lipstick by the Balm. This is called Mai Billsbepaid from the  Balm girls line. This is a gorgeous nude pink color. The texture of this is smooth and creamy, with a minty taste. This is packaged in a slick sliver tube, which is boring compared to the box packaging it came in. The exterior packaging is again cute and quirky. The spin off James Bond is comical and catchy. This lipstick on me is a nice nude color, with hints of pink I love this color. I used this almost every day when I got it. This goes with every thing and is my go to day time lipstick. 

This lipsticks wears for a fair amount of time after about 5 hours though it does become uncomfortable, it does start to dry out but some gloss fixes that. Overall this is one of my favorite nude lipstick, this is a classic nude that matches everything and is so easy to use and apply. It is smooth and creamy on the lips and applies evenly. 

Review: Revlon Lip Butter

 

Lip Butters! by Revlon, these have received a lot of hype and I can see why, these are lovely. I have three colors  in order of the bottom picture is

• Cotton Candy
• Gumdrop
• Berry Smoothie

I bought these at my local Target for about 5-6 dollars and man these were hard to come by, when ever target restocked it was gone in a flash. But I managed to grab a few. These are a soft lip product that is overall very sheer and moisturizing. These make great as tinted lip balms because they are very moisturing and offer a light sheen of color on the lips.  The lip bullet is very soft and creamy so caution is advise when applying because it can easily break and or get smashed against the side of the lipstick case. However these are not long lasting so reapplying through out the day is necessary. I find that these are great for everyday use and make for easy and quick lip looks. 

I like the packaging, the caps match the color of the product and the tops of the caps are clear which is nice  in seeing the actual color of the product. The caps snap securely and is very sturdy.  The quilt pattern is very cute and girly.

 

Here are swatches of the lipsticks. in order of the previous photo.  These are again very sheer and only applies a soft wash of color.,

Gumdrop: Is a light lilac purple that on the lips is more of a very cool tone purple/pink color. Its one of those hard colors to pull off. On me its very pale and an awkward color. This is my least favorite.

Cotton Candy: is a really pretty bright soft pink that has gold shimmer. This one is a pink sheen on my lips that is really shiny and pretty. This is my favorite and is the most wearable and flattering on me.

 

Berry Smoothie: is the most pigmented of the three. It is warm berry color that is sheer yet gives a very nice tinge of color. I looks like I have a stain on and some gloss on top. This is shiny and I love that its a light color I can sweep on.

Review: MAC lipstick in Faux

Happy Thanksgiving guys, I had some down time from today's hustle and bustle and I have a review on one of my favorite lip colors ever.

 

Today I have a review on my very first MAC lipstick. The color I have is Faux. This is a Satin finish lip color. The color is a mauve cool tone medium pink, which transfers true to color on my lips.It is a very natural pink on my lips. This color is one of my favorite to wear every day. This one I can match with any outfit and makeup. This is a very pigmented lip color and one swipe on my lips is full coverage. 

Like all MAC lip products this has a vanilla cupcake  like scent. I doesn't bother me, but it might others. This was 14.99 at my local MAC counter. This color looks good either with or with out lip gloss on top. The color by itself has a slight sheen. The lasting power of the lipstick is okay, its not the longest lasting but it is also not one that will disappear in a couple of hours. It stays on my lips for a good amount of time and even when it fades it leave a tint like appearance so I don't really  need to reapply it.
