FIRST IMPRESSION
I love this lip-shaped bag! It’s roomy and well-made, and the zipper goes all the way across the top, so it’s easy to get things in and out of the bag.
ON TO THE ITEMS!
Here are the full-size products in this kit:
ColourPop Cosmetics Creme Lux Lipstick – LA Lady
Size: 0.12 oz
RV: $8
I’m a fan of ColourPop lipsticks. The ones I’ve used are creamy, and the pigments are gorgeous. And I love the extra thought they put into the design of the lipstick and the tube. This one is adorned with stars…so cute! Even though it’s the least expensive of all the full-size lippies, it’s one of my favorites in this collection!
Love of Color Vibrant Matte Lipstick – Rose to the Occasion
Size: 0.02 oz
RV: $10
I was so surprised that this is a full-sized item because it looks like the same size as deluxe samples. This one is a great daytime color. It’s a muted rose color, but it’s not at all boring. I think this will go in my purse – it’s a great color to just swipe on the go!
Tarte The Lip Architect Lipstick & Liner – Romantic
Size: Liner – 0.0035 oz; Lipstick – 0.014 oz
RV: $24
I love this shade so much! It’s aptly named – this pink is unobtrusive and sweet. And I’m so glad that this came as a lip and liner set. I always use a liner because I get self-conscious of feathering. And the liner goes on like a dream! I’m very happy with this.
Lipstick Queen Shade Shifter – Old Flame
Size: 0.12 oz
RV: $25
This is the lipstick that made me purchase this kit. I’ve wanted one of these Shade Shifter lipsticks from Lipstick Queen for months! The shade shifting maybe a little gimmicky, but it certainly reeled me in!
First off, this purple tube is amaze. It’s such a beautiful purple color, and it’s got this great finish. It feels luxe.
The lipstick itself is very nice. It “shifts” to a barely-there coral color. It wears more like a balm than lipstick, which I prefer. It’s great for a no-makeup look!
These are the products that came as a sample size:
Laura Geller New York Lip Strip Smoothing Sugar Scrub
Size: 0.24 oz (Full size: 0.49 oz)
RV: $7.83 (Full size: $16)
I really like the light minty scent of this scrub. Unfortunately, that’s really the only thing I like about it. I find that it’s not very effective as a scrub; there are not nearly enough sugar particles to actually do any exfoliating.
butter LONDON Sheer Wisdom Lip Oil – Dusty Mauve
Size: 0.04 fl oz (Full size: 0.08 fl oz)
RV: $11 (Full size: $22)
I like the feel of this lip oil, but for me, it doesn’t last very long. I have to reapply it quite a few times throughout the day. It’s a good lip oil to use if you’re going to be out for a few hours, but I wouldn’t wear it throughout the whole day.
MAC Cosmetics Lipglass – Love Child
Size: 0.08 oz (Full size: 0.1 oz)
RV: $14 (Full size: $17.50)
I’m a fan of MAC Lipglass because their pigments are buildable. “Love Child” is a gorgeous lipgloss that leans on the purple side, but it’s tame enough for every day. I love that I can use it without fear that it will take over my entire look, which is a concern I have for the more pigmented MAC lipsticks. This sample is a good size that will last me a while!
FINAL IMPRESSION
This was such a great kit to build up my lip collection! Did I find my lip love? I sure did, and then some! The ColourPop, tarte, and Lipstick Queen are definitely going into the regular rotation.
