Lipstick Review: wet n wild Pinkerbell MegaLast Lip Color

wet n wild MegaLast Lip Color in Pinkerbell

Availability: It appears that this particular shade has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: I'm not sure.

Notes: I'd say this is an ever-so-slightly cool-toned pink with a slight hint of a gold shimmer through it. This looks pretty satiny on the lips and I'd advise pairing it with a lip balm to have it go on smoother; it goes on opaque. I'd say wear time is around 4-6+ hours, depending on whether you eat or not. It has a slightly plastic-y scent/flavor. 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. :)

Disclaimer: I purchased this myself.

Lipstick Review: Urban Decay Shame Revolution Lipstick

Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Shame

Availability: This has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: I'm not sure.

Notes: This is described as a deep berry.  I'd agree, it's a very deep, berry-toned red. In terms of berries, I prefer ones like these on myself over those that have more of a brown undertone. This looks pretty satiny/ has a bit of a sheen on the lips and goes on pretty smooth; it goes on opaque. I'd say wear time is around 4-6+ hours, depending on whether you eat or not. It has an ever-so-slightly sweet scent/flavor. 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. :)

Lipstick Review: The Face Shop 07 Full Pink Collagen Ampoule Lipstick

The Face Shop Collagen Ampoule Lipstick in 07 Full Pink

Availability: It appears that this has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: I'm not sure.

Notes: I'd describe this as being a cherry-toned pinkish red. I remember swatching this and thinking it was gorgeous and like... it was on my mind for a while and I wanted to go back and pick it up... not knowing how much it was. I think that they were trying to play that these look and feel similar to the YSL lipsticks so they wanted to attach a YSL-ish price tag to them. I'm kinda salty on that end. It feels very moisturizing going on and stays feeling that way. This goes on semi-sheer and can be layered to reach near-full opacity. I'd say wear time is around 4-6+ hours, depending on whether you eat or not. It has a soft, perfume-y scent.

Lipstick Review: Tattoo Junkee Pucker Up Lip Paint

Tattoo Junkee Lip Paint in Pucker Up

Availability: This particular shade has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: Yes

Notes: Tattoo Junkee describes this as the most perfect red you will ever wear. I'd describe this as being a vivid, true red. It is incredibly pin-up and if you are looking for THE RED - you know, the very popular matte, true red that makes you look straight out of a 50s photoshoot  get you some of this. It also includes a ruby-ish pinkish-red glitter. This goes on opaque and will dry to a matte finish when worn alone and is obviously glittery if you wear the glitter over it, my advice for successful glitter application is to work in quadrants so you can press the glitter in when this is still wet. This wears pretty much all day but may need a retouch if you eat. That said, I'd highly recommend taking off and redoing the glitter if you plan to wear this as a glitter lip. It has a candy-ish/vanilla scent that's mixed with something chemically... I'd say the sweet scent is what lingers on the mouth.

Lipstick Review: Sephora Collection We Have To Talk Sephora Rouge Cream Lipstick

Sephora Collection Sephora Rouge Cream Lipstick in We've Got To Talk

Availability: This has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: I'm not sure.

Notes: I'd describe this as being a warm-toned coral/strawberry pink-red. I wanted a bright pink that felt more warm-toned than cool toned and this was the winner. It feels very moisturizing going on and stays feeling that way. This goes on mostly opaque and can be layered to reach full opacity. I'd say wear time is around 4-6+ hours, depending on whether you eat or not. It has a slightly plastic-y sweet scent/flavor.

Lipstick Review: Sephora Collection Always Red Cream Lip Stain

Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain in Always Red

Availability: This is exclusive to sephora.com and its physical retail store locations. The retail price is $15 for .169 oz (5mL).

Would I buy this again? Probably not

Notes: Sephora describes this color as a matte bold classic red. I'd have to agree with that. It feels slightly moisturizing and contains avocado oil in it to hydrate, however, it can be drying if your lips are dry to begin with. This goes on opaque and lasts really well unless you're eating oily foods, which is typical with this type of product. It has a slightly sweet yet paint-like scent/flavor. 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. :)
