I know this review is a bit late, but at least I am getting it up now for you guys! I have been using these lipsticks for over a month now and I can't wait to share my thoughts on them. Every time I reach for one.. I keep thinking there is so much I want to say about these..
Lets get started!!
I saw these on the shelves late January, early February but I was hesitant to get one. Then one day, I bought this one in
#805 – Pucker
CVS, $ 9.99
As you can see this is a dual ended lipstick
with one end being a matte/creme lip color and the opposite end is a complimentary shimmer lip color that can be worn together or separately.I really thought that after looking closer at this new dual ended lipstick that I could get a few different looks with one stick.. and save money doing it!
I also got one in
#800 Whisper
CVS, $9.99
Here are the swatches..

This one in
# 805 -Pucker -
is a really pretty matte vibrant pink shade and the other end is a pretty light pink shimmer.
And here is how it looks on my lips..

and
without.

* I tend to wear this in a different kind of way.. I go along the outside corner of my lips with the darker shade and then put the light right in the middle. then I blot my lips and the colors pretty much blend together giving me the illusion of bigger lips. and I really like how 1 tube gives me that effect **
Back to the review..
I am very happy with these lipsticks. I think they are a great deal for the price. The pigmentation is brilliant on both ends with the ones I have tested. They really come off well.. they are both cream sticks..and glide on very smooth to the lips. I find them pretty moisturizing. I have heard other people complain about them being dry but I don't see that as a big problem for me. Personally I don't want a real wet lipstick. These hold moisture for me for hours...when it wears off, it does leave a stain on the lips, which is also good. The ones I have, wear off gradually and looks pretty good even at the end of the night. The smell and taste are not too bad. I have also read other reviews that said they were horrible smelling and tasting but that has not been true for me.
I think these are great and I am giving them a
B+
For a drugstore lipstick, I think this line is a good one. I will be getting more shades in the future...and I highly recommend these to anyone. Remember, if you pick a shade you don't like.. you can return it, opened.. with or without a receipt to CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid. So take it back, and pick out another color to try. I love the two shades I got.. I got a pink one and a neutral stick. I tend to wear the pink the most, but I really like both of them. The packaging is sleek and each flipstick has a metallic center with the corresponding colors of the shades in the tubes. So pay attention to that too when looking at shades.
So have you tried these?? I would love to hear your thoughts on them.. Email me!!
