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.

***NEW MAYBELLINE COLOUR SENSATIONAL "THE BUFFS" LIPSTICKS***

Hi everyone and Happy New Year,

Lots of new goodies coming out over the next couple of months and on January 14 here in Canada is the release of the new Maybelline Color Sensational "The Buffs" lipsticks. I was able to get a hold of the 3 colours I was after through a friend. So lets jump right in.

920 NUDE LUST- A gorgeous just right creamy nude with a slight peach undertone. This is a bit more beige then the L'Oreal J'Lo's Nude which has a more pink base from the Privee collection. So if your looking for a near perfect nude and missed the Privee collection then be sure to check out Nude Lust, plus Maybelline lipsticks smell way better.

930 TRUFFLE TEASE- I would say this colour and "Nude Lust" are also close in similarity, especially in the tube. However Truffle Tease tends to lean more of a rich caramel nude colour on the skin.

955 ESPRESSO EXPOSED- This is not nude by any means, but I like that Maybelline included this colour because it makes "The Buffs" collection more diverse for all skin types and tones. This is a totally gorgeous wine shade that does have very dark brown tones mixed with an amazing ox blood red. I cannot get enough of this colour.

I photographed this shade in two different light formats just to show the intensity of the colour it self.

If you missed out on getting Maybellines ColorSensational LE lipstick Midnight Plum which is a more purple this might be a good alternative. Here is a pic of the two side by side.

L2R-Espresso Exposed & Midnight Plum

Over all I do like this collection right down to even the tubes, the only two shades I was not really into was the lightest colour "Bare It All" that almost seemed so pale and opaque like concealer, but I imagine would be fun to use for a mod look. Also "Stormy Sahara" striked me as a little to much of a terracotta toned lipstick for my personal preference when I swatched it in person.

I feel this collection will sell extremely well because one thing is for sure most girls love Nude tones.

As mentioned this are due for release on January 14 in Canada and will run about $10 depending on where you purchase.

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF YOUR EXCITED FOR THE RELEASE OF THIS COLLECTION. ANY OF MY U.S. FRIENDS PICK THESE UP YET???

THANKS FOR READING AND HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY OF 2014

XOXO:)
