COVERGIRL COLORLICIOUS NUDE LIPSTICKS

Welcome back and Happy Friday,

In the past I can say I haven't owned many CoverGirl items. I do like their fresh complexion pocket powder and the classic pressed powder for sensitive skin. The only other products I have used are a couple of single pan shadows and when I was in my late teens I only used the Professional lash mascara in the blue tube. 
However CoverGirl has made revisions to there lipstick line and have some really gorgeous colours to choose from. The three I have to share today are all in the nude colour group, so lets take a look.


230 CREME
Creme is my least favourite of the three, it's a little to light for my liking. It is a milky nude with peachy pink undertones. Creme actually reminds me a lot of the Stila lipstick I reviewed called Meg. If your interested in that review you can read it HERE. I guess I can mix Creme with a lip gloss, lip pencil or darker lipstick to warm it up if I really want to wear it. I will say it does apply better then the Stila brand.








235 CHAMPAGNE
Champagne is a couple shades darker then Creme and is warmer nude. Champagne leans more of a richer peachy nude with some hints of light terracotta especially when you swatch it in person.





250 SULTRY SIENNA
Sultry Sienna at first glance in the tube seems like it will be quite dark, but as you will see in the picture it's not dark at all once on the lips. I would say this is a brown mauve shade and surprisingly ended up being my favourite





The bottoms of the tubes have the actual colour in them so you know what your getting. 
Each lipstick is 3.5g and will run you about $10 CAD. I always wait for them to go on sale as the staying power isn't superb. The Colorlicious formula tends to be very emollient which is great for hydrating the lips and it does not feel heavy, but you will have to reapply often.




I think the colour payoff is quite good for being a more creamy formula due to the lip loving shea butter in them, with the exception of Creme. You will have to make many passes on the lips to get the colour really opaque, unless you prefer a more sheered out shade.

You can find CoverGirl most anywhere now a days and the Colorlicious range offers up Nudes, Reds, Plums and amazing Pinks. You can select from a generous 36 different shades. 

I also have 265 Romance, 323 Delicious & 397 Yummy in the old packaging. Do let me know if you would like to see swatches of those as well, lipsticks are my favourite posts to do. I have a serious lip product problem, that is the biggest part of my makeup collection.

  1. These are really pretty and look to be quite moisturizing on the lips. Sultry Sienna is my fav.
