L.A Colors Lipstick Review and Swatches!

Hello everyone!

Today I have another lippies post for you! This time it's for the L.A Colors Lipsticks. I recently picked up 3 of them at my local DOLLAR TREE! Yup, that's right, 3 great quality lipsticks for a dollar a piece!

At first when I swatched them on my hand, I didn't expect  much because they were very patchy and sheer. Once I applied them to my lips though, I was pleasantly surprised!
















The first color (on the left) called "Coral Sheen"is a beautiful coral (duh!) color with some very tiny micro glitters in it. Actually all of these lipsticks have a sparkle to them, although it doesn't look sparkly on the lips, it just looks like a shiny lip color, so keep that in mind if you want to try them! Coral is my go to color for the nice weather that's supposed to be coming to the East Coast at some point this year and this lipstick helps me get excited for it!















The middle color is called "Dusty Rose". It's basically a mix between a mauve and bubblegum pink color. The application is very smooth and the finish is a strong shine just like "Coral Sheen". I'm not in love with this color, not for any particular reason, I just don't love it. I guess I'm in like with it! I like the formula and color, but I just don't think it works for my skin tone!















The last color is a purple that looks so much darker in the picture than it actually is. It's called "Frozen Berries". This is my least favorite color because it has the most sparkle and the least shine which makes it look super cheap (even though it was!) and it's super patchy, as you can see in my lip swatch below! It barely stayed on my lips even minutes after I applied it, and it clung to my chapped patches worse than the others. I just swatched it on my hand, and yeah, it was super patchy and it looks like a lipstick I had as a child during the 90's. Okay, that sounded harsh and I'm sorry but this particular color isn't good. The other's however are awesome!











Okay guys, that's it for my thoughts on the L.A Colors lipsticks! They can be found at Dollar Tree and at Family Dollar and are great for girls on a budget or beginners looking for a starter kit!

Rimmel London Colour Rush Balms Reviews and Swatches!

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all having a great day! Today I'm talking to you about my new favorite lippies, Rimmel London's "Colour Rush Balms". I'm not sure if these are still available in stores, I bought them at my local Job Lot. I just checked, they are available on amazon, but the prices vary a lot!




Here's the basics:

These balms are super glossy and sheer on the first swipe, but they are definitely buildable as you will see in the swatches! To wear them on a day-to-day basis I put the product on the center on my lips and blend it out with my fingers.


The colors I bought are 120 All You Need is Pink (left), 610 Sun Kissed (middle), and 110 Make Me Blush.



"All You Need is Pink" is definitely more of a sheer red than a pink but that's okay because it's still a really pretty color! As you can see, the more you apply these lippies, the more pigmented they become. I definitely wouldn't wear this color like I swatched it because it just doesn't work with my lip color but sheer, it's amazing!



"Sun Kissed" is my favorite lip color of all! Even heavily applied, this color stays smooth and beautiful. It's a gorgeous coral pink and could work well on all skin tones. This is my go-to color for spring and summer which is good because it's a color that never goes away, it always makes a comeback!





"Make Me Blush" is the perfect bubblegum pink for the springtime! It matches my lip color very well, it's about one shade darker than what looks super natural for me. I love this color as much as "Sun Kissed", but it does seem to cling the chapped part of my lips, as you can see. This being said, as long as I really exfoliate before I use this color, it applies like a dream, as do the rest of them. When I can, I'm definitely going back for more!



Okay guys, that's it for my review on Rimmel London's Colour Rush Balms! I love these things so much, they are perfect to just throw in your purse when you're on the go. As always feel free to reach out to me on my social media listed on the right side of my blog or leave a comment below!
