Sephora has so many great brands and new spring launches. I did a major spring lip haul and put 10 different formulas to the test. I tried a little bit of everything from lip liners, lip oils, balms, liquid lips and lipsticks. If you’ve been curious about any of the newer launches here is the rundown.

Merit Shade Slick Gelee Sheer Tinted Lip Oils

Merit Shade Slick Gelee Sheer Tinted Lip Oils ($24) are brand new and these are beautiful. They’re sheer glossy lip oils that give the lips a nice fresh wash of color. Color payoff is like almost like a water color stain – natural but still noticeable. They’re super lightweight and the pigment stains the lips a little.

Below wearing and Mapleton (sheer brown berry). Also wearing:

Foundation – Fenty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint in Shade 9
Concealer – Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Concealer in Shade 6.5
Powder – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder in Medium
Blush – Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Blush in Rose N Brunch
Eyeshadow – NARS Orgasm Rising Eyeshadow Palette
Mascara – Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara

Tower 28 Lips

Tower 28 JuiceBalm Vegan Tinted Lip Balms ($16) are another great find. I think the shades are fun for spring to summer. These come in a twist up chubby stick form and have a natural finish, ultra hydrating feel and fun colors. I bought two in Mix (nautral nude) and Shake (juicy pink) – great swipe and go kind of lip colors.

The Tower 28 OneLiner Lip Liners ($15) have been sold out for a long time but just restocked. I think Fill Me In and Work of Art are some of the best neutral lips but better kind of shades and they have a smooth full coverage finish.

Sephora Collection

Sephora Collection products are highly under-rated. Next time you’re in store definitely check out the selection of brushes, lip products and more. I recently picked up the Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick ($15) in 70 First Date and it’s the perfect creamy peachy pink. Formula is really good – opaque, smooth, doesn’t look dry and long-wearing. They’re super comfortable and I like that they also don’t dry out the lips.

The Sephora Collection Lip Liner To Go ($6) is also top notch. I had my eye on a handful of colors because they have a great range of neutrals and brown tones. I picked up 17 Light Brown and 15 Deep Beige – both of which are really great neutrals.

Too Faced

Too Faced makes the most dramatic lip plumping products and they just launched the Lip Injection Extreme Lip Shaper Plumping Lip Liner ($24). These made my lips extremely full and plump immediately. The tingle factor is probably an 9 out of 10 for me which was a little too strong. The shades are really great neutrals and if your lips can handle the tingle these really do plump the lips.

Dior Beauty

Dior Beauty makes some of the most beautiful luxury lipsticks and I hauled a few new shades of the Dior Addict Refillable Shine Lipstick ($45) and a couple of the fun Lipstick Cases ($30). 412 Dior Vibe is a nude beige and 521 Diorelita is the perfect pink mauve shade. Both have a hydrating feel, pretty shine and beautiful color payoff.

Pat McGrath Labs

If you’re looking for great wearable neutrals Pat McGrath SatinAllure Lipsticks ($30) are 100% worth the splurge. I think every single shade is beautiful – I swatched Venusian Peach, Negligee, Nude Romantique 2 and Nude Venus. The SatinAllure is a classic lipstick formula with a satin finish and full coverage.

NARS

The newest launch from NARS is the Afterglow Sensual Shine Hydrating Lipstick ($32) and these are incredible. If you like shine lipsticks definitely check these out. I picked out two shades to try the formula and will be picking up more. Breathless is a perfect beige nude and Orgasm is a stunning pink gold. Texture is very smooth – these glide onto the lips in the most comfortable way.

Rare Beauty

Last but not least the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils ($20) are incredible. These have a stain in the color that adheres to the lips. I love the bold shades – they’re very wearable and I think will be flattering on a wide range of skin tones. To me they are more like a stain with a hint of gloss/oil but I love them. Definitely check out a few of these during the Sephora Savings Event.

That wraps up my Lip Haul review! Let me know what’s on your radar for the Sephora Savings Event. Have you tried any of these new lip launches yet?

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils

April 11, 2023

Rare Beauty launched new glosses called the Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils ($20) in eight shades and they’ve taken over my social media feed. I really love how they hyped this up with some really fun looking events and I think the product is truly unique. They’re available now at Sephora and today they just restocked most of the shades.

The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils are a gel to oil formula with a stain. They have a beveled sponge tip applicator and glide on the lips with a weightless balmy feel. Once applied the formula feels almost like it thickens into a gel finish. I think the shades are beautiful for a bold lip lover. On me I think they’re fun and different from what I normally wear, however because these are more like stains to me, the colors darken on my lips.

A lot of stains in general tend to darken or shift in color on me once they set and these definitely look darker on me compared to what I’ve seen on anyone else. Lasting power is really good with these. If you’re into lighter to medium neutrals these might be too dramatic/bold for you in which case I’d recommend checking out her Kind Words Matte Lipstick (review here) which has a lot of great lighter neutrals.

I hauled five shades:

Hope is a bright but lighter pink
Happy is a bright deeper pink
Wonder is a deeper pink rose
Serenity is a warm orange rose
Honesty is a brown neutral

Below I’m wearing the Rare Beauty Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer in 32N and the Always an Optimist Soft Radiance Setting Powder in Medium Light. Eyeshadow is the Natasha Denona Mini Nude Palette.

All side by side:

Since the Sephora Savings Event is right around the corner (starts this Friday for Rouge Members) I thought I’d add some more thoughts about other Rare Beauty items I’ve tried.

The Rare Beauty Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer is one of my favorite tinted moisturizers I’ve tried. Has SPF 20, offers medium natural coverage but isn’t too dewy or emollient. I really like the formula and it blends easily on the skin with a beautyblender sponge.

The Always an Optimist Soft Radiance Setting Powder in Light Medium is a nice lightweight powder. After testing a wider range of formulas I’ll say this isn’t my favorite but it’s very good. I really like her Always An Optimist Powder Brush. It’s well made, fluffy and soft.

The Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer sticks are some of my favorite bronzer/contour in a cream format. They glide on beautifully on the skin and I like that they are neutral-to-warm in undertone making it easier for me to wear. They are very easy to blend. I added a few more contour swatch comparisons to the LYS No Limits Cream Bronzer (another great formula), Westman Atelier Face Contour Stick and the Tower 28 Sculptino Bronzer in Getty.

The Soft Pinch Liquid Blushes are incredibly popular and as far as liquid blushes go these are some of the most pigmented shades I’ve tried. I only need one dot on each cheek to give enough color. Based on how little product you need I feel like these are going to last the rest of my life. I think the colors are really pretty and for a liquid product the lasting power is pretty good.

The Positive Light Liquid Luminizers are also really beautiful. The shimmer drydown looks intense in the swatches below but they are actually really easy to blend out on the skin for a more natural less sharp look. I like Flaunt the best but the colors in the range are all stunning. I added a few other swatches next to the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wands and Anastasia Beverly Hills Highlighter Hot Sand which has a softer glow.

In case you missed it I’ve linked the Kind Words Matte Lipstick and Lip Liner review here too.

Overall I give the Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils a solid A+ formula-wise. I think the colors are fun for a more bold vibrant lip look. The Sephora Savings Event starts on Friday and the sale access dates and code to use are as follows, use code SAVENOW to save during these dates:

Makeup By Mario MoistureGlow Plumping Lip Colors

April 3, 2023

There are tons of new beauty launches this month and I’m excited to play with all the newness starting with some new lip glosses. There are new MoistureGlow Plumping Lip Colors ($24 each) from Makeup By Mario and I ordered a handful of shades to try.

These are described as a plumping weightless liquid lip gloss with full coverage. They come with a sponge tip applicator and I love that the package color matches the actual lip gloss shade. I did some quick swatches in this video I’ll link below so you can see them in action. After playing with all the shades I have mixed thoughts.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sabrina Shorb (@beautylookbook)

Pros: The colors are phenomenal. I think they developed some beautiful wearable shades in a good range of tones from light and neutral to bold and bright. The pigment is really impressive for a water-infused type gloss. They are one-swipe wonders with great color payoff.

Formula has minimal plumping on my lips with a very slight cooling almost minty sensation (without the minty scent). If you can’t wear glosses with any tingle I think these will still be gentle enough to wear.

Cons: This product does not last on the lips. They seem to fade and disappear very quickly even if I don’t touch my lips to anything. After about 15 minutes the product starts fading – almost like it’s evaporated from my lips.

When applied over a lip pencil the lasting power is drastically improved – it’s actually very good when I mix the lip plumper with a lip brush over the lip pencil. It kind of blends the formulas together to adhere better to the lips.

So with a lip liner I can get a few hours of wear without it fading. Since I love all the colors I don’t mind doing this extra step, but part of me thinks they could have made this better. A lip gloss should be great as is without any extra help. Looking at the reviews so far it seems that a lot of other beauty lovers are disappointed with the lack of lasting power.

In terms of finding a similar look for less, I think the NYX Butter Gloss has a similar feel with slightly better lasting power (this gloss also needs the help of a lip liner for me).

Colors I picked out:

Soft Nude – neutral light beige
Barely Pink – neutral pink
Smokey Pink – cool toned grey-mauve pink
Cool Pink – cool pink
Soft Blush – pale pink rose
Baby Coral – apricot
Miss Rose – plum rose pink
Hot Pink – sheerish bright pink

I think all the colors are beautiful. My top three are Hot Pink, Cool Pink and Baby Coral. Based on the feedback from some of you on my video Smokey Pink seems to be the most loved although I think it looks like death on me.

Overall I really like the shades of the Makeup By Mario MoistureGlow Plumping Lip Colors. I don’t love the formula because is finicky by itself but I can make it work with a pencil. I’m also taking points off for them calling this “plumping” when it really doesn’t have much of any plumping effect (at least on me).

All that said I still like these and will wear them. The colors are really flattering and so far I can’t think of any dupes for these shades. They have just the right mix and undertone to be really flattering. Pigment is great, finish looks amazing, these are SO close to being A+ material. I just think the formula could have been a lot better with the lasting power.

You can find these out now at Sephora. Did you try these? What did you think?

P.S. If you’ve been waiting for the Chanel Les Delices collection it just launched online at Chanel.com. I’m still waiting on one item to arrive before I post my review but wanted to let you know as I think the items will sell out quickly.

Cle de Peau Beaute Lips

Cle de Peau Cream Rouge Collection

March 8, 2023

Cle de Peau recently revamped some of their lip products with the new Cream Rouge Collection and I’m thrilled to be able to share swatches of every single color today! I ordered a handful of shades when they first launched but it was thanks to Benjamin Puckey (follow him at @benjaminpuckey) who was so kind to send all the colors for me to try and swatch for you.

These are available now at Cle de Peau, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and all other Cle de Peau retailers.

There are three finishes in the Cream Rouge Collection ($50 each):

Cream Rouge Shine – opaque vibrant cream liquid lipstick/gloss
Cream Rouge Matte – full coverage mattes with a lightweight texture
Cream Rouge Sparkles – multidimensional gel gloss loaded with sparkles

The formula is exceptional which is no surprise for Cle de Peau. What I liked about these the most is the hydrating finish. I swatched most of the shades on the lips and usually at the end of a lip swatching session my lips are pretty raw with the wiping and re-application. This time my lips felt even better afterwards. Coverage of the Shine and Matte formulas are full-coverage and smooth. Lasting power is very good although they are not budge-proof or transfer-proof. Sparkles have medium lasting-power and run sheer. The photos and swatches cannot do them justice – only in real life can you see the multi-dimensional shimmer and how the light catches each sparkle.

Cream Rouge Shine

The Cream Rouge Shine formula is my favorite. I love a good glossy lip and these are stunning. I would have liked to see more neutrals in the lineup, but those who love color or a bold lip will be thrilled with every single shade.

201 Calanthe Orchid is a stunning beige pink
202 Plumeria Apricot is a vibrant coral
203 Heliconia is a bright warm fuchsia
204 Maraca Ginger is a ginger red
205 Cuphea is a medium-deep red
206 Calliandra is a cool toned orchid pink
207 Musa Ornata is a bold deep pink
103 Legend of Rouge is their classic red

Above wearing:

Foundation Cle de Peau Radiant Cushion Foundation in O30 (older formula, new formula here)
Concealer Cle de Peau Concealer in Buff
Powder Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish in Medium
Blush Cle de Peau Cream Blush Shade 4
Eyeshadow Natasha Denona Glam Palette (review here)
Brows Benefit Precisely My Brow Shade 3
Mascara L’Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black
Nail Polish Essie Expressie Crop Top and Roll
Top Reformation Marion Sweater Tank (wearing a Medium, top runs small, recommend sizing up 1-2 sizes from your normal size)

Cream Rouge Sparkle

The Cream Rouge Sparkles are stunning. They are sheer with a jelly like base but the sparkle is just beautiful I ordered one of each of these and like 303 and 304 the best. There is no gritty texture once applied, they feel smooth and I love how they feel.

301 Sweet Nectar
302 Mokara
303 Medinilla Magnifica
304 Ohia Lehua

Cream Rouge Matte

Last we have a look at the Cream Rouge Matte which is a lightweight airy almost whipped matte. These also offer full coverage and apply smoothly with a flawless finish. There is one neutral which I love Chocolate Cosmos. All the other shades are very bright and bold. They feel very comfortable on the lips.

111 Chocolate Cosmos is a muted dusty beige
112 Ixora Peach Delight is an electric coral peach
113 Hibiscus Rosa is a warm red
114 Flame Lily is a berry red
115 Cordyline is a dusty mauve
116 Lantana Camara is an electric bright coral
117 Flamingo Flower is a bold warm red
118 Pink Perfection is a bright pink
119 Vriesia is a cool bright pink
120 Currant is a purple plum
121 Strawberry Rhubarb is a deep red
103 Legend of Rouge is a classic red

Four of the shades swatched on the lips:

Overall this is a beautiful launch with exceptional formulas and colors. My favorites are all of the sparkles, Calanthe Orchid, Calliandra, Cordyline and Chocolate Cosmos. At $50 each these are extremely pricey but the formula is top notch after several days of wear my lips do feel more hydrated and smooth.

Shop the Post

If you’re ordering online I hope you find these swatches helpful! Available now at Cle de Peau, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and all other Cle de Peau retailers.

Many thanks to Cle de Peau Beaute for sending the shades for review.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizers – New Formula + Colors

January 31, 2023

Dior recently reformulated their Addict Lip Maximizers ($40 each) and I am thrilled with the new formula and colors. Their Lip Maximizer formula has been one of their best selling glosses and according to Dior they’ve reformulated this to have ingredients that are more natural in origin and revamped the colors to include more opaque shades with different finishes in the classic jelly finish, holographic, shimmer and intense versions.

I am a huge fan of the original formula and I’m happy to find the new ones are just as good. To me feel pretty much identical. They have the same smooth texture, slightly minty cooling sensation, subtle plumping effect, medium lasting power. The main difference is many of the colors have better color payoff with more opaque pigment. They still don’t have super long lasting power but they will stay put for several hours. The bonus of the glossy formula is that they fade nicely and evenly so you don’t have a ring around the edges of your lip. I don’t mind reapplying!

Dior brought back a number of their classic colors and added quite a few new ones. Every single color I tried is beautiful. A few of them are on the sheer side so my natural lip shows through. If your lips aren’t as pigmented as mine are the colors will pull more true to tube on you.

I have 18 of the shades. While you can find this new formula at all Dior retailers and counters like Nordstrom, Sephora, Bloomingdale’s, Ulta Beauty etc. some of them appear to be exclusive to Dior.com. I compared a few of the original shades to their new formulation and the colors are almost identical. Pink and Coral are the same. The new Rosewood pulls a little more neutral. The new Holographic Pink has a slightly less duochrome quality. The new Beige has a bit more pigment compared to the original.

001 Pink – sheer light pink
002 Opal – sheer opal sheen
003 Holographic Lavender – holographic light purple
004 Coral – jelly milky coral peach
005 Shimmer Strawberry – pigmented strawberry pink with a hint of shimmer
006 Berry – soft plum with medium pigment
007 Raspberry – jelly raspberry
009 Intense Rosewood – warm pigmented rose
010 Holographic Pink – shimmering iridescent pink
012 Rosewood – classic soft rose
013 Beige – sheer light beige
014 Shimmer Macadamia – gorgeous rose beige with a hint of pearl
016 Shimmer Nude – shimmery beige nude
018 Intense Spice – creamy warm spice (this is the only one I didn’t swatch on lips)
019 Shimmer Peach – warm coral peach with gold shimmer
026 Intense Mauve – stunning mauve with a bit of shimmer
030 Shimmer Rose – pretty shimmery pink
038 Rose Nude – perfect nude pink cream

Swatch set 1:

Swatch set 2:

Lip swatches below of almost all the shades. I didn’t get to Intense Spice but it pulls true to tube and what you see in the arm swatch. Also wearing their Natural Bronzer in Shade 05, Backstage Blush in Pink and Eyeshadow Palette in Wild Raffia. Sweater from Jenni Kayne. Nail Color is Static Nails Liquid Glass Nail Lacquer in Mademoiselle.

I think the shade range is beautiful and they’ve seemed to launch shades to suit every color preference from neutrals to bolds, shimmers to creams and sparkles too! It’s tough to pick favorites and even though I splurged on so many there are other shades I would have liked to try too. If you’re a gloss girl then you’ll be thrilled with this formula and the color extensions.

If I could only pick 5 they would be: 038 Rose Nude, 26 Intense Mauve, 014 Shimmer Macadamia, 007 Raspberry and 030 Shimmer Rose.

Bottom line love and highly recommend. You can find these out now available at Dior, Nordstrom, Sephora, Bloomingdale’s, Ulta Beauty and all other Dior retailers.

Plum Lips to Try This Holiday Season

December 13, 2022

Happy Tuesday! I’ve been on a plum lip kick this holiday season and shared a video swatch roundup of some favorites on Instagram. For those who still prefer blog posts and still images this one is for you! I’ve been loving gloss and sheer plum lipsticks so the color is more forgiving when it fades throughout the day. Here are the ones I’ve tried and loved.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Gloss

Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Gloss in Aperitivo is probably my favorite soft plum. It’s a smooth gloss that you can build easily. Feels comfortable on the lips, not sticky, lovely shine.

Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss

Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Kir Sugar is another one I love. It’s a semi-thick gloss so it adheres really well to the lips. Has some sticky feeling but still very comfortable to wear. Since it’s a thicker formula this one lasts long on my lips. Has a bit of gold shimmer inside. I remember wearing the original formula in this color in my 20s!

Fenty Gloss Bomb

Fenty Gloss Bomb in Hot Chocolit is a sheer plum brown with a tiny bit of gold shimmer. In the tube it looks more brownish but on my lips it pulls more plum. I think this is my second favorite out of all the plums. Love layering this on top of Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk for a slightly more pinkish look.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Brown Sugar is another love. It’s a very sheer tinted balm and I love this formula. Also great when layered over a lip pencil or alone. I didn’t get a new photo of this one but you can see it on the lips here.

Hourglass Phantom Glossy Balm

The Hourglass Phantom Glossy Balm formula is another one I’ve really loved this year. Lure is a pretty cool-toned plum. They also have a pretty limited-edition Rouse, a reddish plum, which is part of the Holiday Duo (sold out online but still available in stores).

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Lip Balm

The plum shade most of you loved from my video is Westman Atelier’s Squeaky Clean Lip Balm in Lou Lou. I hope she brings this one out individually in the new year! For now it is exclusive to her Squeaky Clean Lip Vault (also reviewed here).

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey has made a comeback and I love it. I wore this one in the 90s and early 2000s in my high school days so I’m thrilled to see it again! They launched the Black Honey color in the Pop Plush Creamy Gloss formula but it keeps selling out (still available at Kohls and Belk).

Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick

For lipsticks I bought the Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick in Gifted (also available in a matching Lip Liner). This is a pretty dusty plum color that doesn’t pull too cool or too warm. Color has rich opaque coverage, smooth finish and decent lasting power. Other shades in this formula reviewed here.

Dior Burgundy

Last but not least is a look at the Dior Lip Glow and Lip Maximizer in Burgundy. The Lip Maximizer seems to have sold out nearly everywhere but you can still find the Lip Glow on Dior.com. Love this for a soft plum berry stain on the lips.

What shades are you wearing this holiday season? I’m still into the neutrals and soft pinks but think plum is a fun way to switch things up even for the neutral lip lover.

Long-wear Lip Test Try On

September 23, 2022

Today’s roundup is for all the girls asking for the best new long-wear lip formulas. I love that there are so many new formulas on the market for us to choose from. It’s nice to have options! I’m usually a glossy lip lover but I’ve been trying out more matte formulas, especially since the fall season is around the corner and mattes are nice to wear this time of year!

I put four new formulas to the test from Sephora. They always have the newest launches first and I love their Beauty Insider Program (you can sign up for free here). After playing around with some new formulas I am really surprised that the budge-proof lip DOES exist! Here’s what I tried and my thoughts on each formula.

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Ultra-Comfort Transfer-Proof Lipsticks

The Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Ultra-Comfort Transfer-Proof Lipsticks ($21 each) are among the most popular for liquid lipsticks. I usually don’t opt for liquid lipsticks because they often look really dry and darken on my lips but there are a lot of really great colors in this line. I tried one from a sample I got as a Beauty Insider and was immediately hooked.

Sweet Talker is a muted pink and Perfectionist is a pretty cool rose pink. I really want to try more shades! The formula is a lightweight liquid. It dries to a comfortable matte finish and once it dries it stays put for hours. Lasting power is really good as long as your lips stay dry. It will transfer to a straw if you drink or if you eat, but other than that I’d give it an A+ for pigment and B+ for lasting power.

Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond Glossy Liquid Lip

The Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond Glossy Liquid Lipsticks ($25) are truly impressive. I love that they have a glossy finish versus the traditional matte look for a liquid lip. The lasting power is truly incredible. Transfer proof and budge proof but you need to let it dry/set. Since it’s ultra pigmented I’d say a little goes a long way. You only need a thin layer to cover the lip. My favorite is Text ‘Em for the perfect pink rose.

New NARS Powermatte Long-Lasting Lipstick

The NARS Powermatte Long-Lasting Lipsticks ($34) are also A+ lip material. They have a more matte almost airbrushed look compared to the Powermatte Lip Pigments. I picked two shades to try in Sweet Disposition (pale pink) and American Woman (dusty rose). They have a smooth weightless texture. A few swipes and your entire lip is covered and on me they did not transfer to my hand or a napkin!

Rouge Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipstick

I’ve saved the best (in my opinion) for last. The Dior Rouge Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipsticks ($42) are the best transfer-proof lipsticks I’ve tried. I picked 100 Forever Nude Look for my first shade to try and was beyond impressed. It lasted through a cheeseburger meal! The 100 Forever Nude Look pulls a little lighter/cooler than all the other Nude Look lipstick formulas. I found 500 Forever Sensual to be a bit closer in color (another great nude). I also love 200 Forever Nude Touch for a beige and 558 Forever Grace is a lovely berry.

I still love the Dior Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Transfer-Proof Lipsticks. I find the new twist up Rouge Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipsticks to be better in terms of lasting power.

In each look, also wearing:

Foundation LYS Triple Fix Serum Foundation in TG1
Concealer Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Concealer Shade 6
Powder Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Brightening Powder
Bronzer Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream Bronzer Medium 2
Blush Laura Mercier Blush Colour Infusion in Fresco
Eyeshadow Too Faced Born This Way Sunset Stripped Eyeshadow Palette
Mascara Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara

That wraps up my long-wear lipstick try on haul! What’s your go-to longwear lipstick? Or are you more of a gloss/balm kind of person?
