Orange Lipstick: MLBB

MLBB with Maybelline Coral Crush

Before I show you today's lipstick, I wanted to pass along something I found on Pinterest:

I've always adored Dita Von Teese because I think she is classy, wise, and mysterious. The fact that she's beautiful is just the cherry on top! I love this quote, too - I'm going to try to get this printed up and keep it on my vanity.

Moving on to Maybelline ColorSensational Lipcolor in 515 Coral Crush!

Maybelline has a ton of ColorSensational lipsticks to choose from and they tend to divide them up by reds/pinks, neutrals, plums, etc. This cap is red, which I really dislike from a sorting standpoint. It doesn't give you an accurate depiction of the color inside. Plus, if you own three or four from the "reds/pinks" section, it might be hard to know what you're grabbing. Minor nit-picky thing!

The color looks quite electric in the bullet but turns into a MLBB (my lips but better) once you apply.

This really does give you a nice coral color on your lips. I bought it hoping it would lean more orange but it definitely leans more pink.

I will say that this is a little brighter on lips than it shows up in these pictures. The formula is decent and glides on nicely but it does feel a bit dry on lips after a while.

If you like MLBB and coral colors, you would probably love this!

(Please forgive me for forgetting an arm swatch! I got caught in a picture-taking frenzy of a bunch of lipsticks and completely forgot arm swatches. Sorry!)

You can find this on Amazon HERE for $3.61 + $1.84 shipping. You can also look at almost any drugstore!

XOXO

Clinique Fizzy is retired but she's still pretty

Today I have another old, old Clinique lipstick to show you. I found this one while trying to organize my stash and figured I should show it to y'all!

Unfortunately, they don't make this one anymore. Sorry, you know I love to torment y'all with stuff you can't have! ;-)

I won't rant/rave it for too long since you can't pick it up anyway; however, I do think it gives lips a nice my lips but better (MLBB) look.

There's a bit of sheen to it which I think doesn't look particularly flattering with my skin-tone. I cleaned this out of my stash and gifted it to my mom. I think it'll look better on her olive skin.
