Jouer Hydrating Lipsticks in Meredith, Lola, and Oliva: Swatches and Review



 
L to R: Meredith, Lola, Oliva


L to R:  Meredith, Lola, Oliva







I am absolutely in love with these smooth, creamy, and ultra hydrating lipsticks from Jouer Cosmetics. They apply so evenly and with ease.  There is no tugging involved to get this formula on.  Jouer has become a fast favorite of mine.  I am all about natural beauty and these three shades are the perfect options to accentuate your own natural beauty.  I love the my lips but better colors and I have found three new favorites.    

I have gotten an average wear time of about 3 hours, which is normal for me with lipstick.  The formula is so creamy that I enjoy reapplying.  I feel like I'm doing something extra good for my lips every time I do.  Even after the color has worn off, my lips are left feeling conditioned and hydrated.  Who could ask for more from a lipstick? 

Thanks for reading!

Maybelline Vivid Lipstick in Hot Plum: Swatches and Review



What can I say?! This is yet another amazing lipstick from the Maybelline Vivid's collection.  Hot Plum is a bright vivid magenta but it's not really a neon like some of the other shades from this line.   It's consistency was creamy and smooth.  It applied beautifully.  



Swatches photographed in natural light.  


I love the sheen that the Vivid's leave on your lips.  Hot plum wore on me for 5 hours and left a slight stain to my lips.  This color is going to be great for a variety of skin tones.  This is a great shade if you're looking for a bright summer color.  

Thanks for reading.

Maybelline Vivid Lipstick in Vivid Rose Review


First off let's acknowledge the neon packaging that is perfect for the bright Vivid's lipstick line.  


Maybelline's Vivid Rose is a bright rose pink color with a slight sheen in the finish.  I love the application.  It goes on so creamy and smooth and doesn't dry on the lips.  It lasted on me for 4 hours before I noticed any fading at all.  It did leave a slight stain to my lips afterwards, which I didn't mind at all.

This beautiful lipstick is sure to be one of my number one bright pink lippies that I reach for all summer long.  I have already started wearing it more and more.  I am in LOVE!

In my opinion, this is an amazing quality lipstick at a great price point.  It's definitely one of the best I have found from the drugstore in a while!

Have you tried any of the Maybelline Vivids yet? Which colors do you recommend?

Thanks for reading!

LANCOME ROUGE IN LOVE Lipcolor in JOLIS MATINS106M





Company Description:  High potency lipcolor, 6 hour wear, featherlight formula

Price:  Rouge in Love contains 0.12oz (3.4g) of product and retails for $25.00

Quality:  Lancome describes JOLIS MATINS as a soft peach, which I think is dead on.  The color is creamy and very opaque with a slightly glossy finish.

This lipstick is light weight and not sticky.  It went on like a dream and was very moisturizing. 

Packaging:  This lipstick comes in a gorgeous silver metal tube that is smaller than a regular tube of lipstick.

Wear:  I did not find this lipstick to wear 6 hours.  I got close to 3 hours of wear before the color began to fade.  





Gorgeous and Compact Packaging


LANCOME ROUGE IN LOVE JOLIS MATINS


Skin Swatch


JOLIS MATINS Applied


Final thoughts:  I liked the moisturizing, almost balm like quality of this lipstick. I loved the soft peach color and think it's perfect for everyday wear.  This was a gift from my mother in law, but I would purchase this formula in another color.

Have you tried any of the LANCOME ROUGE IN LOVE Lipsticks?

MAC Lips and Tips Collection!


These are my picks from the collection.



From top to bottom:  MAC Lipglass in Impassioned, Angel, Spice, and Spice Lipstick







MAC Lip Glass and Lipstick in Spice.






These colors are so beautiful! They all have MAC's signature vanilla scent, and even though they are totally different colors from each other they are all equally stunning.




Impassioned (Limited Edition) is the perfect pop of coral for summer.  While I do consider it to be a coral, it is red based.  I think it is the perfect combination of the two colors.  


Angel (Limited Edition) is a soft midtoned pink with some added sheen.  It looks very creamy on the lip, and is almost milky.  It is perfect for any time of year.  


Spice (Both are Limited Edition) is a neutral rose brown that looks stunning on the lips.  The swatch does not do the color justice.  




Spice is my all time favorite lip liner and I could not be happier that I know have it in a lipglass and lipstick.  I am eager to try Angel in the lipstick, and try a layered look.  I love all of these and I will be ordering back ups of each!
