“I’ll Lead” Sephora Crème Lipstick Review


li3

Ahhhh, my first lipstick, and it was only 3 dollars! I usually don't buy wear lipstick because it just---focues all of my attention to my lips, and I'm not to fond of my lip shape. But ya gotta work what ya got!
Sephora was having a sale and I suppose they were trying to get rid of their creme lipsticks, because they were just selling them for a measly three dollars. Such a High quality product for so cheap. The color is named “I’'ll lead”, in the tube it looks like like an orange-pink mix, I want to say it’s a coral with red tones but I‘m horrible with describing colors. At this point, I'm almost certain that this shade isn't being produced anymore because it's not on the website. Lucky me! :)

(Swatched 2 or 3 thick coats)



If lightly applied, it has a softer look. . I achieved it my lightly dabbing it and then blending, I refuse to let the entire stick glide all at once. The creme aspect really makes this lipstick opaque. My top lip and bottom lip are different colors, but you can barely notice it. I was worried at first that I might need to apply a concealer to get the results I wanted, but no~smooth sailing. :)

"I'll lead" has a subtle shine and I'd reccomend this product for ladies with warm undertones, like myself. I am quite fond of this color because it's rich and bold, yet does not attract to much attention.

Exfoliating is a must because this lip color tends to accentuate dry lips and cracks---which is not sexy~


My FOTD, complete with the creme lipstick.

A Million Kisses - Lush Lip Tint

Show casing red lips is the easiest way for an effortless made-up look. And the inner pin-up girl in me was urging for a red pout



So me and my girls walzted into LUSH. (Omfg, I love Lush, and the ladies who work there are always so angelic.) And of course we got to sniffing the soaps like weirdos. I asked one of the ladies if she had any lip colors and surprisingly they did. I told her that I wanted my lips to look bitten. You know how after you make out for a long time, your lips are kinda swollen and that bright red color? Yeah. Like that.








Goshness, it so very pigmented!
Tips: exfoliate and moisturize lips before applying tint.

Me? I just used my toothbrush and warm water to exfoliate.













What you see on your left is the Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss 'Juiced Berry'. Despite how red it looks in the tube, it is completely translucent. Tastes yummy though. ^_^; I prefer to wear it as a top coat to lip colors.


 On the Right is the One Million Kisses lip tint by lush. It kinda-sorta makes my two toned lips look less obvious. I say this product is 10 Dollars well spent.


Lush is all about being being as natural as possible. I mean, look at those ingredients! Rose oil, Lemon Peel, Japan wax?! Gotta love it. <3


Quick Review:

Color: 5/5 
 It is safe to say that Lush's lip tint is worth the money. You can keep it natural with a singly swipe, or go for a bolder look and build up the color. This shade of red compliments my skin tone and I love it. It also has undertones of blue to make your smile brighter.

Endurance: 4/5 
After 6 hours, it was still in good condition. Not exactly as I'd applied it, but still visible. Even after you wipe it off, it temporarily stains your lips. The gloss helps too.

Texture?: 5/5 
Smooth, thick, matte, not sticky...Yeah. 

Overall: 4/5 

Since the red lipstick I wanted to purchase was 30 dollars, Lush's Lip tint is a great substitute. The color is vibrant, the ingredients are au naturale, and it makes my lips look lucious. Yum.
