ANNABELLE LIPSIES

Hi all,                                                                                PR SAMPLE/PURCHASE

Today on my blog it's all about fruity lip balms from Annabelle. I received two from the company and I also purchased three myself. 

Initially Annabelle had released the oh so yummy Lipsies twice for a limited time, but good news! they are here to stay as part of Annabelle's permanent line, HOORAY! 

QUOTE FROM ANNABELLE- "One swipe of this glossy balm will provide a sweet, shiny hint of colour!" 


The two balms that were sent are Coco-Vanilla & Strawberry. The three I purchased are Cupcake, Cotton Candy & Raspberry

What I like about these balms is that some have colour and others have a hint or none at all. Sometimes all I really want is to soothe my lips and just have a glossy look and other times I want the hit of colour. This is a great product because its versatile and will appeal to anyone from 9 to 99. It's also a savvy introduction to makeup for young girls without to much colour for young lips and who isn't going to love all the fun scents?

The swatches here go from the Lipsie that is absent of colour to the one with the most pigmentation.

From Top 2 Bottom

• Cupcake (No colour)
• Coco-Vanilla (ever so faint, tini, tiny hint of peach)
• Cotton Candy (sheer ballerina pink with slight shimmer)
• Strawberry (true bright red, strongest pigmentation)
• Raspberry (mauve berry tone, buildable colour)

I do find you have to reapply fairly often, which I personally don't mind, but just putting that out there, if that is something you don't like. Good slip, no stickiness at all. All the scents are accurate to their name sake, but are tasteless, so you only get the smell. The only Lipsie I am not sure about is Coco-Vanilla, not my favourite of the bunch. Lipsies are retractable and can be put in a pocket, back pack or purse, so they are always handy. Also the caps stay firmly in place and are not flimsy.

In closing, is this a makeup staple, you must have? No! but overall I think they are a fun product with the benefit to keep the lips soft and playfully scented. I think you should at least try one because you probably will get attached just like many of us have.

There are 12 Lipsies in all and can be found at pharmacies, mass retailers and directly through Annabelle's website.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS REVIEW AND BE ON THE LOOK OUT AS I WILL HAVE ANOTHER ANNABELLE POST COMING SOON
