Grande Lips Hydrating Lip Plumper - Clear

I am not a big fan of lip plumpers as they can sometimes be quite painful. I like my beauty products to provide me with a lot of gains and no pain regardless of the saying,  "No Pain, No Gain". The lip plumper is enriched with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B3 to moisturize lips, improve firmness while plumping lips. I didn't take a photo of the before and after because the tingly feeling was a bit unpleasant and I didn't notice results in the first use. However, I do regret not taking it because, after multiple uses, I did notice my lips becoming a bit plump. I don't think I will be getting rid of my other lip products but, I won't mind using this here and there.

Cinnabon Lip Balm

This lip balm is more novelty than a hydrating product. It did smell like my beloved cinnamon bon and did have a pleasant cinnamon taste.  I found this product more fun than with using it to keep my lip soft. A fun product for any lip balm collector!

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick - Kimchi

I believe I cashed in my Sephora points for this deluxe sample. I love bright lipsticks and the Bite Beauty brand. The lipstick is composed of 12 nourishing oils and triple-milled pigments. It has citrus flavor according to the manufacturer. The lipstick is bright medium-dark Fuschia color with a satin finish. It had a creamy texture and applied evenly. However, I felt like it was a bit dry and showed every "flaw" and cracked skin on my lips. After the color wore down, it did leave behind a faint stain.

Finding Ferdinand Nob Hill Red Lipstick

Guess how many red lipsticks I own? More than any normal sane person should have. I love red lipsticks. Nothing makes me feel like I can take on the world more than a beautiful bold red.

I never heard of the brand before but, I am always up to try something new. I rarely buy the same thing twice unless it's truly something I can't live without and it's on sale. Let's be honest, makeup is expensive and  sometimes I do really question if it's wrong to sell my organs to support my habit.

While I never heard of the brand, I felt that a $30 price tag is kind of steep. I felt like for a few more dollars, I could get a well known prestige brand lipstick or a few beloved drugstore favorites. But, my dear readers, I bite the bullet and got one. The packaging was sleek but, it didn't have heavy weight like Colourpop or Urban Decay's lipsticks. I did like that you did have to push the tube up before the lipstick popped down.

The warm-hued lipstick went on smoothly. One swipe provided full coverage but, I like applying two coats for even application. It felt nice against the skin and lasted maybe two hours before fading away. I like the color on me but, I can't say it's my favorite shade nor do I find myself reaching for this often. I am opened to trying new colors by the brand but, definitely not paying full price.

L'oreal Infalliable Paints - 326 Sultry Sangria

At first, when I saw this lip paint, I wasn't sure what to think. Part of me though it was a cheaper alternative to Too Faced's lip paint which it sort of was. It isn't as pigmented or went on smooth, but it had a good and cheap replacement for Too Faced's products. The wand spread it a bit splotchy but not a pigmented in one swipe, but can be built upon. If it is on sale, I would probably buy a few more colors.

Lucy B. Tinted Lip Balm - Ruby Red Gloss Balm

The gloss balm promises to hydrate, smooth and protect lips. The lip balm is enriched with natural shea butter, Australian flower essence and vitamin E. The lip balm has a delicate scent and goes on smoothly. It had a slight tacky feeling but it left my lips feeling soft and smooth. The creamy lip balm also left a soft tint on my lips.
