Left to Right: Sweet Nectar, Orange-Gina, High Voltage

- Sweet Nectar: Cream finish. Bright orange shade- on the lips it looks more of a bright orangey coral color. 

- Orange-Gina: Pearl finish. Orange shade with fine golden shimmers through out. 

- High Voltage: Vinyl finish. Red shade with a bit of an orange undertone (warm toned red).

L-R: Red Label, Cherry Crave, Best Red,  Ruby Valentine

- Red Label: Cream finish. Cool toned red shade 

- Cherry Crave: Metallic finish. Warm toned red with tons of red shimmers throughout. This shade makes me think of the holidays (red + red sparkles makes me think of the holidays for some reason- ornaments, pretty wrapping paper.. can it be Christmas already?! Lol)

- Best Red: Matte finish. Cool toned red (a bit deeper shade of red than red label). Labeled as matte, but has a bit of a glossy finish. 

-  Ruby Valentine: Vinyl finish. Warm toned red (a bit deeper shade of red than high voltage). 

Overall, I really like the great formula of these lipsticks- not to mention, I love their packaging! It comes in a luxe looking shiny gold colored casing. The lipsticks are not drying, and they have a nice, rich opacity (one swipe and it has full on color), and leave a slight glossy sheen. They have a slight fruity scent to them, which I like. I love how affordable these are and I think these are great lipsticks with tons of shades to choose from (30 different shades to be exact). My favorites in this collection were Sweet Nectar (l love coral lips!) and High Voltage. The colors in this collection is quite similar, but have slightly different undertones or how dark/light the shade is. I like how there is a variation of cool and warm undertones so that people with different complexions can find the shade of red that flatters them the most. 

Let me know what you guys thought of the lipsticks and which one was your favorite? 

Until next time...

Hey loves,

Colors from Left to Right: Pink Frost, Fruit Punch, Flamingo Pose, Rose Hip, Hot Pink Rage, Flirty Fuchsia, Rose Amour

Now onto the swatches! 

Colors from Left to Right: Pink Frost, Fruit Punch, Flamingo Pose, Rose Hip, Hot Pink Rage, Flirty Fuchsia, Rose Amour

Colors from Left to Right: Pink Frost, Fruit Punch, Flamingo Pose, Rose Hip, Hot Pink Rage, Flirty Fuchsia, Rose Amour

Left to Right: Pink Frost, Fruit Punch, Flamingo Pose

- Pink Frost: Metallic finish. Light pink (cool tone) shade with tons of silver shimmer through out with a very frosty finish. 

- Fruit Punch: Cream finish. Medium hot pink shade that is a warmer shade of pink. I feel like this would be more wearable for those easing into the hot pink lip trend. 

- Flamingo Pose: Cream finish. A blend between hot pink and coral. 

L- R: Hot Pink Rage, Flirty Fuchsia, Rose Amour

- Rose Hip: Cream finish. Cool toned hot pink, with purple/blue undertones. 

- Hot Pink Rage: Matte finish. Warm toned hot pink (more of a reddish undertone compared to Rose Hip). While this is called a matte finish, I feel like it still has a bit of a glossy sheen- which I don’t mind, but just wanted to give you guys a heads up. 

- Flirty Fuchsia: Vinyl finish. Hot pink shade with red undertones, and lots of fine violet shimmer throughout- the shimmer is super pretty and blends in well with the lipstick. I like how the shimmer makes this shade very unique and bright. 

- Rose Amour: Cream finish. Medium hot pink shade that is cool toned (somewhat purple undertones). 

                                                                                                                                                           Overall, I really like the great formula of these lipsticks.

I love how affordable these are and I think these are great lipsticks with tons of shades to choose from (30 different shades to be exact). My favorites from the Pinks & Corals were: Fruit Punch, Flamingo Pose, and Flirty Fuchsia. These were all warm toned hot pinks- which I feel like look better & are more wearable for my skin tone. I didn’t like Pink Frost because you guys know I don’t like Frosty shades (I feel like they are not flattering) and I don’t like super light colors for the lips- however there was nothing wrong with the formula or anything, its just a shade preference. 

Let me know what you guys thought of the lipsticks and which one was your favorite? 

Until next time...

Summer Trend: Orange Lipstick

Hey loves,

Just wanted to post a quick little post about a summer trend I'm loving right now: orange lipstick! I love it- well it looks more like a bright coral, but its a fun twist on the classic red :)
Bold, but not too bold, and can be mixed with pink to be a more soft coral color. ( i love coral!!!)
I'm wearing N.Y.X Round lipstick in Femme with E.L.F. 's studio minty glosses in San Diego.
Whats summer trend are you rockin?







xoxo,
