AMERICAN LIPS
Whilst my mum read out her exciting Canada/America holiday itinerary, I made a mental list of what to ask for… Becca’s pressed Shimmering Skin Perfecter wasn’t to be found, I got a blue eyeshadow instead of a bronze eyeshadow pencil and a Tarte blusher got missed off the list BUT she did get some bits that I really wanted to try.
The Maybelline Color Whispers are part of the whole lip butter family and as a fan of sheer lip tints, I wanted to give them a try! They’re pigmented and moisturising but I have to say there is very little difference between these and the Revlon Lip Butters. The packaging is cute, but UK gals don’t feel left out, they’re not that amazing.
The Buxom Lip Cream in ‘Cherry Flip’ was on my list thanks to Estée and I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’d never tried anything from Buxom before. It’s a lip gloss that’s free of any parabens or nasties, but packed full of vitamins A and E as well as hyaluronic filling spheres that are supposed to infuse the lips with moisture. It has no shimmer or glitter in but leaves a super glossy finish and seriously plumps up your lips. It’s one of those ‘tingle’ lip glosses, which I didn’t know before I applied it but soon found out and have since gotten used to it.
There was one other product that my mum got right from the list and it’ll be up soon, let’s just say if you thought CC creams for the face was ridiculous… you just wait and see what I’ve got!
