Here's a bullet-list of a short background on my history with lip snnnuff....
- I don't wear lipstick/lipgloss 24/7. Longevity doesn't really matter to me.
- When I eat, I take my lip stuff off. So I can't tell you if it stays on after you eat.
- When I do wear lip stuff, the color is usually bright or a bold deep color, but sometimes I venture out with nudes and pinks (really rare).
- Because I cut my hair last December, I'm a bit more crazy with my lips now (bolder)
- I'm very picky with the lip products I use...
Here is a list of products I will briefly review in this post, If you're interested...
- L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lip Lacquer in 188 Coral Tattoo
- Revlon Colorburst Lip butter in 063 Wild Watermelon
- Revlon Colorburst Lip butter in 027 Juicy Papaya
- Rimmel London Show off Lip Lacquer in 101 Celestial
- Neutrogena Overnight Renewal therapy
- Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm in Natural Mint & Shea Butter
- Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lip pencil in 004 Indian Pink
- Benefit BeneTint
Product #1:
L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lip Lacquer
Color: 188 Coral Tattoo
Why I love it: The color is really pretty. It's coral-orange, but not like a bright in-your-face coral. Very wearable during the day and it slowly gets a bit darker the longer you wear it, which I enjoy.
Why I don't wear it all the time: If you keep it on for a long time, it can be a bit drying and tacky. I usually wipe it off and reapply.

Product #2
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter
Color: 063 Wild Watermelon
Why I love it: It's a moisturizing lipstick that gives a nice color pay off but still sheer enough for daytime wear. I refrained from wearing any of my intense bold red lipstick this summer, and I found a good replacement summer-y red lipstick.
Why I don't wear it all the time: Honestly, there's nothing wrong with it. I love it! I only don't wear it ALL the time, because I try to switch off with my other lip products.

Product #3
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter
Color: 027 Juicy Papaya
Why I love it: The color is very natural with a subtle pink sheen. I like it for the days, I want a bit of color but nothing too intense and I love Lip butter. They're very moisturizing.
Why I don't wear it all the time: Like I said above, I usually like to wear bolder/brighter colors. There's very few days where I wear natural color/nude lip sticks.

| It looks like I have nothing on... but yeah ....my camera sucks.. |
Rimmel London Show off Lip Lacquer
Color: 101 Celestial
Why I love it: Very opaque pinkish nude. I grab this when I want a color that is more opaque than the Lip butter above, but I still want to keep it pretty natural. Also, these new products by Rimmel are very opaque and has a good lasting power on my lips. They last longer than lip butters but still moisturizing.
Why I don't wear it all the time: Again, I don't wear nudes very often.

| Really like the applicator for this product |
Product #5
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Stay on Lip contouring Pencil
Color: 004 Indian Pink
Why I love it: Very bold, MATTE Pink. It's not too bright, not too subtle. Love it! When I went on my recent trip to Ghana, I brought very minimal make up. I only brought ONE lip product, and it was this one. It's perfect with minimal make up on the face or a full faced make up.
Why I don't wear it all the time: Too bold for everyday make up. I only like it for when I go out normally.
Product #6
Benefit BeneTint
Color: uh....there's only one color...
Why I love it: Naturally tinting of my lips. Love it! It was pricey, but it was SO WORTH IT. The days I don't wear a colored lip product, I put this on my lips to give it a good flush of color. If you don't have it, BUY IT NOW.
Why I don't wear it all the time: I wear it....all the time.
Here are swatches of the lip products I mentioned above.
Starting from the left:
BeneTint, Indian Pink, Celestial, Juicy Papaya, Wild Watermelon, Coral Tattoo
Extra~
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm
Color: Natural Mint
Why I love it: Moisturizing and smells refreshing. Also, I love tingling lip products (not as strong as Burt's Bees) I know some people hate tingling lip stuff, so beware if you're one of them~
Why I don't wear it all the time: I use it all the time.
Product #8
Neutrogena Overnight renewal therapy
Color: No color
Why I love it: I use this at night and after 3 nights of using it, my LIPS ARE SO SOFT AND SMOOTH. I have really dry and cracked lips, and when I get lazy with exfoliating, I use this and BAM! Next day, my lips are ready for smoooooooth application.
Why I don't wear it all the time: .... I get lazy
Man...this post took a long ass time. I really hope you enjoyed it, because my lips are dry as FUCK. I had to wipe off and apply and then RE-APPLY! because I couldn't remember what I liked about the product when I was typing up the description.
Please comment below what else you would like to know about these products and what else you would like to know about anything in the makeup/skincare world, because I don't know what kind of post I should be writing.
