CoverGirl Lipslicks Smoochies Sizzle Gloss in 530, 535, and 556

CoverGirl Lipslicks Smoochies Sizzle Gloss in 530, 535, and 556

These are pretty sheer but you do get a little color with them, especially with 535 (orange) and 556 (bronze), not so much with the 530 (yellow).

Second I love, love, love, the fruity scent and subtle taste of them. 

They make your lips super shiny and sparkly, any lip gloss lovers out there will love these.

These lasted me about an hour of wear time.

Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain full collection (Swatches & Review)

Pictured left to right: 001 India Intrigue, 005 Parisian Passion, 010 LA Exclusive, 015 Barcelona Nights, 020 Rio Rush,   025 Cannes Crush, 030 Milan Moment, 035 Miami Fever, 040 Shanghai Sizzle, 045 New York Scene, 050 London Posh, 055 Stockholm Chic.

The Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain collection consists of 12 shades.

The packaging is nice because there are windows that show that actual color of the formulas.

I like that the Revlon logo is perpendicular to the product name, it's eye catching.

The standouts in this collection are definitely the reds, they are super uniform and pigmented.

You'll see in the swatches.

So the verdict? For something that has the words "ColorStay" and "Stain" in it this product fails.

None of the colors left me with any leftover color or a stain.

On top of that the color comes off fairly easily. I ate with these on and, even though I was being

careful, after the meal none of the product was present on my lips.

The products also have a weird smell to them. Not exactly unpleasant but nothing good either. I can't for the life of me pin the smell down though. 

They have a watery consistency but after they sit on your lips for a couple minutes they thicken up, A Lot.

They hard to apply, you get a lot of product on the edges of your lips, I don't know if it's the applicator or just the formula, the formula also feathers.

Overall if your going to get these go for the reds and London Posh.

Swatch and Review of Hard Candy Ombre Lipstick in "764 Courageous"

One of the new additions from Hard Candy's Spring 2014 releases.

See my review of Hard Candy's Cheeks & Balances Highlight & Contour Cheek Duo here

Hard Candy Ombre Lipstick in "764 Courageous"

These are available in 10 shades. I got mine from my local Walmart for $6.

You scroll the makeup up by turning it.

Oh no! More of that nasty Saran Wrap packaging! :o

I'm a nut for pretty packaging, and I like the pretty metallic but I was disappointed with the packaging Hard Candy used. With this type of packaging dirt ends up building up underneath the edges and the wrapping ends up geting all wonky. Not only do I end up tearing off the plastic because it's unsightly, it's not hygienic.

Not a lot of product lol

I really hate this formula, I wanted to like it. I really did, but it's melty and has the staying power of mascara in a tsunami, yeah that bad lol. This formula also dries out my lips, which, admittedly, isn't that hard to do haha.

The Swatch

My first attempt

First did it wrong because I did the darker color on the inside of my lip.

There, that's better.

Now on my second attempt it looks better but don't even think about moving your lips, let alone eating or drinking with them. This formula is so melty it slides right off.

My lips dried off and the color faded about an hour after I applied it.

Honestly I'd rather use my better lipsticks and apply it with a brush. More time consuming but you get better color payoff and longer wear time.

I dislike this product. I wouldn't recommend.
