Lately, I have been slowly adding a few essentials. Got the Urban Decay Naked Palette 2, a few good quality makeup brushes(which I find very interesting of how much difference a good makeup brush can make) and Revlon Lip Butter.
Smashbox lip gloss used to be my only lip treatment. I have used Mac but find it extremely sticky. I like lipsticks which are not heavily pigmented(yes, I know. Most gals like pigmented liptsticks. I just find myself look too "made-up").
Read a lot of good reviews about the Revlon Lip Butter. They come in a wide variety of colors. I started with one and just love it. It is very moisturizing and it is not sheer. It doesn't last all day so will have to re-apply it throughout the day, which is no problem for me as I always go to my purse to apply lip balm anyway.
From top left: 001 Pink Truffle, 005 Sugar Frosting, 025 Peach Parfait
Bottom left: 030 Fig Jam, 085 Sugar Plum, 095 Creme Brulee
They are in the same order as the above picture
I just got the 005 Sugar Frosting and 095 Creme Brulee today. The rest I have them for over a month and I have been wearing the 001 Pink Truffle the most. The 025 Peach Parfait is a very nice peachy color with a bit of shimmer. I am not a shimmery gal but the shimmer in this one is subtle enough. The 030 Fig Jam is a beautiful brownish color.
Price of these ranges from $6.50 to $10, depending on where you get them. I usually get them at Walmart or on sale at drug stores. I have used many other brands, including Mac, Clinique, Smashbox etc. These affordable ones are truly winners.
Thanks for the info! I was thisclose to buying the Peach Parfait color the other day at Walgreens, but I held back because I hadn't heard any reviews yet and didn't want to waste my money. Glad to know they are winners!
ReplyDeleteI love the peach parfait and I find the color so cute and you can pretty much wear it everyday with any makeup.
DeleteYay! Glad you jumped on the lip butter train - I seriously love them to bits. I have a total of 9 now haha :)
