I really love this group of items because I feel like for
$25 someone who does not know much about lip products could find a few gems as
well as find out what type of lip products they enjoy from lip tints to liquid
lipstick and all the lippy love in between. Each has varying formulas from
moisturizing, slight tackiness, to more traditional lipstick formulas. With
this package you could have a shade for every season.

Sephora Collection – 2mL – Rouge infusion the neutrals in 19
– Peony
Smells
like candy. This was probably the most confusing shade for me. The labeled
color is actually very similar to the application shade except the shade on the
container looks crème and the shade when you apply has a pink undertone/shine.
However when you open the container, it looks as if you are about to apply the
shade fuchsia. Also I have no idea why, but I thought this was a lipstick tube
not a gloss like formula though it applies similar to a medium coverage
lipstick.
Tarte3.1g – Amazonian butter lipstick in Coral Blossom
A
moisturizing, peach shade with undertones of gold. This applies beautifully,
medium coverage. Smells like mint.

 

Make Up For Ever3mL – Artist plexi-gloss 202
Brightening
peachy nude looks gorgeous in the tube but applies almost invisible to my skin.
Likely has a very sheer coverage on the lips. It has one very interesting
looking applicator. Anyone know the name of this type of applicator?

 

Kat Von D3mL – Everlasting liquid lipstick in Lolita
A deep crème
nude, this applies with the intensity of a lipstick and to be honest is kind of
hard to get off. Has a sticky application with doe foot applicator. Great
coverage. Smells very cosmetic like.

Marc Jacobs Beauty – 1g – Le Marc lip crème Je ‘taime
An almost brick red, deep, rich and would likely flatter a number of skin tones.

 

FRESH2.2g – Sugar Rose tinted lip treatment
Just as it says it’s a sheer light
tinted lip balm. I typically like getting the FRESH lip treatments in round up
product boxes because I can’t justify spending the 20 something cash on the
full size lip balm even though I adore it. It truly smells fresh. To me I think
of lemon but I don’t think lemon is in it. This is a great product, but the
full size is totally $$ for a balm or “lip treatment”.

RECOMMENDATIONS

While I might not personally wear every shade in this box very often, I find value in each item added to this box and for the right person I think this is a gem and a steal for the price ($25 USD).
