Think Pink! (Review)

Pink Lip Colors (Review)

So, I wanted to write about my top 4 pink lip colors. Pink isn't only feminine, but it's fun and flirty! I actually have a HUGE collection of pink lipsticks, but I thought it would be nice to give a quick review on my current favorites along with my ALL TIME FAVORITE!

                                                 Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Volupte in #27
                                                
Creamy (perhaps a bit too creamy). To the point it smears easily. Smells amazing!!! As in fruity! Highly pigmented. In between coral and hot pink. Approx. $34 :(

MAC - Impassioned  
                                               
Hot pink! Pop-of-color type of lipstick! A bit creamy, and matte. $15

                                                     Makeup Forever - Aqua Creme in #7
                     
Hot pink with gold shimmer. HIGHLY PIGMENTED & LONG LASTING! BUT!!! Make sure to add lip balm before applying, & maybe a bit of gloss afterwards since it is VERY drying. Can be used on cheeks as well. Approx. $23  

 OCC - Lip Tar in Anime (All time favorite!)
                                                
Not only is OCC infamous for their Lip Tars, but they are 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free! Yay animals!
This lip tar color is my FAVORITE! Like ever! It is long lasting, smear-proof, & you only need the tiniest drop. It's highly pigmented, neon & dries matte. Add gloss for shine. Approx. $13 - $16


                                                          Swatches (from top to bottom):
                YSL Rouge Volupte #27, MAC Impassioned, OCC Lip Tar Anime, MUFE Aqua Creme #7
