maybelline color sensational vivids lipsticks

Who says you can’t wear bold lipsticks through the whole year? Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid’s are amazing. Bold pops of color with the feel of a balm. I’ve been running these colors on repeat.

They look a little frightening in the tube because the colors are intense but they actually wear really nicely. Don’t get me wrong – they are intense but a wearable intense. They can be a little slippery so pair with a nude liner to help them stay in place throughout the day.

Have you tried the vivids line? Now is a good time to test two colors out – Ulta is offering buy 1 get 1 50% off! (You can check it out here.)

Beauty Review: Revlon Lip Butters

I was a little skeptical of these because I always have commitment issues with lipstick color. I always have it in mind that I like lipstick, but I actually don’t think that I do. I like it on others, but I just can’t commit to it.

Revlon Lip Butters sound like they might be more of a lip balm, but I assure you they possess the vivid color of a good lipstick. Creamy and not chalky, and full vibrant color, these add moisture of a balm with the color of our (trendy) grandmothers lipsticks. I also love that these colors aren’t very matte, they definitely have a slight shine to them.

I have been testing a few of these out and have had a ton of compliments from them. Even someone at the airport said she loved the color.

These are the ones that I’ve been trying out so far! I hate selfies… but how else can I get a picture of them on the go? So excuse my 17 year old girl selflies…the colors are tutti fruit, wild watermelon and sorbet.

Beauty Steal: Color Whisper

photo (2)

I have been watching a ton of Pretty Shiny Sparkly drugstore hauls and beauty reviews. She kept raving about a few different lipsticks so I knew I wanted to try them!

The first one I tried did not disappoint! Color Whisper from Mabelline. I tried it in Lust for Blush- its a dusty pink and I wasn’t sure how it would work or if it would wash me out. I could not be more happy with the results- it looks amazing and feels amazing!

It smoothes on rich, creamy but almost sheer. You can easily build on the color but its not overwhelming or chalky like a lot of cheap lipsticks are. I was immediatley sold. It felt like butter and felt more nourishing than my go-to burts bees.

I will be investing in several more- you can see all the shades here at Target!
