Lipstick & Lipgloss Pic Spam, Vol. 1

Lipstick & Lipgloss Pic Spam, Vol. 1

I don’t know why, but for awhile, it seems like I have a bajillion lipsticks and glosses I want to share with you, but I feel a little odd reviewing more than one or two per day. I always think, “Nobody wants to see FIVE lipsticks in ONE day!” Some of these are getting a little “stale” and are on the verge of getting put in the “never going to review” folder, and thus, PIC SPAM!

  • Chanel Coral Reef (#88) Glossimer is a light peachy-pink base with lots of brightened gold-peach shimmer. Totally gorgeous, but I think this was limited edition. Probably from last summer’s collection. I believe I picked it out of my glossimers with the intention to include it in the Summer Season, but it’s hard to find, so it’s not appropriate for that series any more.
  • Bloom Sugar Lipstick is a sheer pale rose pink with subtle shimmer and a frosty finish.
  • Make Up For Ever #3 Glossy Full Couleur is a jelly tangerine-orange. On my lips, it doesn’t really do much. It gives them more of a coral look color-wise, but it does make them look rather juicy from the glossy finish and thick texture.
  • Tarina Tarantino Nouveau Lip Gloss is a blue-based medium-dark pink with a very glossy, jelly look. It has a very milky look, though it’s certainly not a milky pink by any means.
  • Too Faced Mood Swing Lip Gloss was just such a gimmicky product, I was loathe to review. They’re not a bad product, but the idea behind it was a little too much for me, personally. I also switched to including full face photos, so while I’ve meant to re-do some swatches, I just haven’t gotten around to it. And now they’re becoming stale!

See photos & swatches…

Hi! The idea behind the Too Faced Mood Swing glosses is that they will adjust to your perfect shade with the warmth/heat of your lips. I noticed in the pic you posted of Pink Petal that it still looks whiteish. If you let it sit on your lips for a minute or so it will become the most beautiful shade of pink. Also, they are loaded with Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, and Vitamin E, so they are super moisturizing! 🙂

Well, I for one can never have too many lipstick reviews! I want that mufe gloss to put over a lipstick and I loved the too faced smurf mood lip glosses. I bought 2!

I absolutely LOVE the too faced emotionally activated gloss. I have the original, and the pink shimmer, the one that smells like blueberries

I have Coral Reef and it is gorgeous! 🙂 I also don’t mind 5 lipstick reviews a day, I check out Temptalia several times a day and love to have new things to read and look at.

I usually base what I buy on your reviews and swatches, I can’t pass on a pretty shade of lipstick, I’m loving bloom sugar lipstick. Thanks Christine

Bloom Sugar looks super pretty. It reminds me of Korres #22. I actually have one of the Too Faced lipglosses (original??? It was before they brought out other colors) and I really like it because it feels nice and I know I can trust it to look good. On me it’s quite a raspberry pink.

I’m just not a gloss kinda gal and the lipstick isn’t something I’m jumping around about. BUT I must say the Coral Reef is really pretty, it looks really pigmented, but is it stick or chunky?

Helena Avatar

I’d want the Chanel if its color–peachy, golden pink–wasn’t already covered in the Spring Season series, with Nymphette, #2, et al., ha ha.

Coral Reef is my favorite gloss ever! I soooo didn’t know it was LE 🙁 Now I have to track more down…I wear that thing at least 4 times a week!

I love my Mood Swing lipgloss. Yes, I see the gimmick and I figured if I walked around with a half naked guy in my purse (Pocket Rocket David) then I’d be okay with my “sexual urges” on display. Not that I feel the color changing works but the color of the one I have, I have the purple tube one from plum to perfect pink and with a fushia lipliner it turns so vibrant and bold. I love it and how it smells!
