Sheer Genius!

13 Oct

I tried Almost Lipstick by Clinique today and I love it!  I have always been a fan of tinted lip balms and stains because for day-to-day use I want moisture more than anything else, but a touch of color is nice.  Almost Lipstick is perfect for all day wear  it’s a moisturizing semi gloss, ultra-light lipstick. Not quite a gloss, and not quite a lipstick,  it’s formula looks great alone yet it’s sheer enough for easy layering.  Available in 8 shades ($15) at clinique counters and online at  Clinique.

I tried the black honey and it’s a very light plum color, although it looks dark in the tube. The colors are all very light and sheer.

New Revlon Balm Stain

18 Aug

I just discovered a new lip product and I love it!  The Revlon Balm Stain is a moisturizing balm infused with a lightweight lip stain that gives lips  just enough color that lasts for hours. Balm stain is perfect size to take on the go and is in the form of a chubby crayon for precise application.  It’s a  perfect day-to-day lip product if you want to look slightly made up but not over the top.  Available in 12 colors at drugstores now for about $8. (I’ve seen them for $6.79 at Rite aid and $8.99 on Revlon.com)  These crayons are very similar to  Tarte lipSurgence  that retail for $24.
