Drugstore Lip Products! ♥

What's up everyone?? I'm back with another beauty related post today and I wanted to make it clear that I'm definitely not an expert or anything like that, but I just really like to talk about stuff like this.. As of late, I've been so obsessed with lip products lately and I kinda did a mini haul of some stuff I got while I was at the store. So please check it out!! :)

-------------------------♡----------------------

This right here is all of the stuff that I got, I mean it's not much but it's way more than what I usually buy in one round (( I know, surprising..)) So all these products are going to be reviewed since I have given all of these products a good amount of time to give you my honest opinion!

Maybelline's SuperStay 14HR Lipstick is the first thing I bought and man, I gotta say that this stuff is seriously so MATTE. The color is the 055 'Keep Me Coral" and the reason why I wanted to go for this color was that it wasn't as orange as the other corals and it has a nude vibe to it which I was really digging at the time. When it's on my lips it comes out more reddish with specks of gold in it.. which it kinda strange to me, but I really enjoy this with my natural lip color! Like I said before, it is VERY matte so if you don't like crackly lips then I suggest using a lip balm or a clear lip liner to tame the beast. Seriously, no joke. It's so freakin' matte. It doesn't last very long even though the name is SuperStay 14HR lipstick.. but what can I expect? You get what you pay for !~ So it's only nice when I am on the go and need to make my lips look alive, but it's not bad in its own right.

From previous experience, I really enjoy the Maybelline Baby Lips series so I just had to pick this up. Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Gloss is an obvious name for this product... 060 'Berry Chic' is the color I got and it's a bright red/pink color but since it is a gloss, it has a sheen and shiny finish. I usually tend to stay away from glosses because shiny finishes mean sticky texture and I dislike that feeling on my lips. Although it is a tad sticky, it's not as sticky as other glosses and it has the best smell that makes up for it!! The smell is enticing and I don't know if I'm the only one that tastes lip gloss, but I "accidentally" did.. I'm not sure if it was the smell that made me think it tastes good, but it tastes good. Anyway, this product overall does moisturize your lips, but it doesn't last very long. I think of this product as a "your lips but better" kind of thing.

This right here has to be my favorite product out of this haul and it's the Maybelline Lip Studio Color Blur!! 020 'Orange Ya Glad' is the perfect red orange color ((leaning more towards orange/coral)) and it applies on matte, but it clings on for so long. I just wish there were more color variations in this collection, but it's still a pretty wide spectrum of colors. This definitely has to be one of the most long lasting drugstore lip products I've tried and I don't even need to line my lips or anything! It's dual ended and I'll explain the purpose of both sides ((even though, it's pretty obvious..)). The lip stick itself acts as a lip stain but looks/feels like a lipstick, which is why I like it so much. The gradient/ombre lip look is very popular in Asia and I think it's starting to branch into the US because they made a product like this. Typically, one would use concealer on their lips to wash out the pigment of their lips. Personally, it looks way too pale for me so I really just like focusing the color in the center and blending it outwards.

But, with this product you can smudge out the other end! There is a rubber tip that can spread the color evenly. I haven't used the rubber smudge thingy yet, because I like rubbing it out with my finger and I didn't want to get the tip dirty. It fans out so beautifully and I swear I am so obsessed with this look right now. Although it looks pink in the lighting of the picture, I can assure you that the color comes out really red/orange. My boyfriend said I look like I just finished eating hot cheetos hahaha. I would recommend this 100% !!

Lastly, this is the Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick. The color and the look/texture of the lipstick itself is phenomenal, which was the main reason why I bought this product. 525 'Peachy Scene' is exactly what it sounds like, a peachy toned lip color. The color is so nice, but once I applied it on my lips, I really really hated it. For me, it just sat on the surface of my lips and it did not look flattering at all. I only tolerated it when I lined my lips with a pink lip liner.. The way it sits it just coats all the lines of my lips and I was really disappointed with this product. SADFACE... I really wanted a peachy pink color, but I guess it's not meant to be.. THE SWATCH LOOKS SO DAMN NICE THOUGH.

Here's a swatch of all colors in the order I reviewed them in (( from left to right )). I really tend to gravitate twoards pink/coral colors. Once fall really hits, I'll probably invest in some dark wine/maroon colors. I wonder if the wine color would look nice as a gradient lip. It doesn't really matter I guess because I'll still do it regardless #vampy.


 So that's all for this mini haul/review I did for these lip products! For the most part, I really liked these but as you can see, there were definitely some hits and misses.
