Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick and another Maybelline Lipstick Haul

0

Rimmel Crush

Maybelline Born With It

Swatches!!! Pink one is Born With It and The peachy Orangy one is Rimmel Crush

I went to Walmart looking for peachy nude colour lipstick since Maybelline Pink Please is too pink pigmented on me. I think Pink Please will suit just fine anyone who has at least olive to brown skin colour. It looks so out of place on me. My skin is so fair and the colour is just not right on me. I look quite crazy and out of place with it.

So today, I decided to hit Walmart and find myself some peach colour. I was just browsing, looking around at every lipstick sections and this one particular lipstick really stand out of the others. It is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in crush (202). The price barely $5! Maybe becomes $5ish and a tad more after tax. Compare to Maybelline which costs $7.69 or .96 + tax. It smells very nice too!! It does not cake when you reapply it.

I also got myself Born With It by the same Maybelline lipstick product. At first I was quite suspicious that it will turn out the same like pink please but it doesn’t. This one looks nicer on me than Pink Please. I guess because it gives a more subtle colour than Pink Please.

Remember I was discussing how Pink Please smells like play doh? Well, it comes to a surprise that this one smells very different than Pink Please. I guess it based on product batch? This Born With It smells nice like Rimmel but Rimmel is nicer. At least it does not smell like play doh.

Maybe next time if you buy some that smells like play doh, just returned it and get another or go to another store.

Here are a few swatches on Rimmel Crush. Nice isn’t it? I only wear it on the bottom lips for the first 2 pictures but both/ whole lips on the third.

*Please excuse my so bare face as I was lazy to put on foundation hahahha!

Skittles Lip Balm?

0
Me again! I was wondering around Walmart cosmetic section just likes the usual. Whenever I have to go there to buy some deodorant or fish food, etc, I will always take a tour to the makeup department. I don’t usually buy stuff from there, unless has been stated or known by others that the product is amazing.

For many years, I stay with Blistex lip balm – Berry flavour? I forgot but it is the pink reddish one. I love it so much and I think it is one trustable lip balm. I do try a couple lip balms such as Nivea, Softlips, Chapstick, Neutrogena, etc.

But for today, my eyes were wondering into these... I would say kid’s make up section? Or perhaps for teen? And I found lip balm with lollipops flavour, cookie, etc. I was a little bit sceptics about their quality but I give it a try. I bought Tropical Skittles lip balm and it is ok. I love the smell and as for moist, I don’t think it’s bad. I would say it’s the same range like Chapstick or better since chapstick doesn’t smell this good.


So, if you’re bored with your usual lip balm, I don’t see why we should not give these good smelly babies a try.
