The second picture is pretty accurate color-wise.
The first picture is on my bare, slightly rosy and pigmented lips. It's a *tad* brighter and corally-orange in real life.
I love corals like these because they really bring a glow and brightness to the rest of my face. For now, layering this on top of a nude lipstick base brings out the peachier side of this coral, reminding me of MAC Shy Girl. Since I'm a little I've been on a huge coral kick lately, so I knew I had to get this. I found it at Target, but there was no separate display for the collection like I had seen in Ulta. It was placed next to the rest of the Super Lustrous lipglosses and I managed to get the last one. Love the sleek packaging and doe-foot applicator. Plus, no funky smell or taste!
I want everything from this collection, the shades are all gorgeous pastels. I think I read somewhere (maybe Allure) that Gucci Westman helped create the shades in this line. Really looking forward to trying the nail polishes as well as the SL lipglosses in Lilac Pastelle and Pink Pop. Coral Reef is a beautiful pop of color, perfect for the warmer weather. Get it before it's gone, from the stores I've been to, I've been noticing that a lot of the shades have been selling out quick.
I also picked up Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Nude. I like it, it's very creamy, but it's a bit more glossy than I'm used to. The packaging and imprint reminds me of a cheap version of Chanel, lol. Here it is to the left swatched next to Smooth Nude from the Colorstay collection and Nude Attitude from the Matte collection. It's a bit more pinky-beige toned than the other two.
Sorry the swatches are a little difficult to see. You can click to enlarge if you want. Have a great week :)
The gloss looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty colour, it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours! The gloss looks really nice and it looks REALLY good on you :)
ReplyDeleteTY!
ReplyDeletehmmm...i don't think I own a coral shade lip gloss. the color is sooo pretty ^_^
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by :)
Ooo I like that Coral! I've always been told that orangy tones look good against asian skin, but haven't tried it. I like that it's affordable too - my local CVS always has buy 1 get 1 on Revlon.
ReplyDeletesmooth nude is one of my favorite drugstore nude colors. I really don't like nude attitude. Have you tried Revlons color burst in soft nude?love that one also.
ReplyDeleteahh I love the gloss...looks so yummy and perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteBecky- Oh you should, coral would look amazing on you IMO.
ReplyDeletePetite Asian Girl- Try it! It's true lol
Jo- Yep! Actually, that's the one I was reviewing. I got the names mixed up! And I love Smooth Nude also. It's probably my favorite out of the bunch and I love that I can use it by itself because I can't do that with most nudes like Nude Attitude
Ashleigh- I plan on wearing it over Vegas Volt l/s during the summer. I tried it out today and it's freakin bright! lol
Love the gloss! I have been thinking of getting a coral gloss and this just made my mind up. =)
