Makeup Wars: My Favorite Summer Lippies, Visual Kei & Lollipop-Pop by Fyrrinae



For this week's Makeup Wars posts, we've decided to highlight the lippie we've been reaching for over and over this summer. I'm going to cheat and feature 2 lippies, I really couldn't pick!

What I've pictured here are 2 Lip Lustres from Fyrinnae, and while I had initially purchased the $2 samples just to try out the color (that is what you see here), I've since purchased the full sized versions. I've been grabbing these two colors almost every day since I got them, which is about 3 weeks or so. They are definitely worth the $6, and I want Fyrinnae to make a huge range of more wearable colors. I want a few more like pinks and peaches, a couple of different reds and since it is so "in" for fall, we'll need about 5 dark vampy lip shades to pick from ranging from red to burgundy to a deep plum. Please and thank you.

This formula is unlike any lippie I've ever used. It's pretty much exactly what I had hoped that YSL stain glossy thing was going to be... but wasn't. Lip Lustre is like you took a lipstick, stuck it in a blender and whipped it around a bunch. It's like a fluffy, airy lipstick. Not really a gloss, but also not really a liquid lipstick either. It is not at all sticky, it's super pigmented, and it takes about 3 hours to wear off. When it does, it is pretty hard to notice because it really acts as a stain as well, so you'll have at least some color all day long.


I initially purchased the sample sizes of Lollipop-Pop and Visual Kei, when I bought full sizes I bought both of these, Dragon's Blood and Less than Three. It is a little hard to tell the two apart in the swatch pic, but when worn the Lollipop-Pop is a brighter and lighter pink while there's a bit of darker magenta/red added to the Visual Kei.

MAC Heavenly Creature Lippies

MAC Heavenly Creature Lippies Swatches and Review

The lippies seem particularly wearable and just... pretty in the Heavenly Creature collection.

Venus: Sheer yellow pink with pearl
Pleasure Seeker: Creamy Peach
Galaxy Rose: Midtone violet pink
Strictly Plutonic: Midtone pink-brown

I had a really hard time not just immediately throwing these into my purse to tote around and wear everywhere. I knew I'd lose them if I did it before I took pictures! I can't wait to start wearing them.

Milani Perfect Colour Lip Sticks Review and Swatches

Milani Perfect Lip Colour Lipstick Review and Swatches

I've been trying more Milani products, and I have to say that they've yet to disappoint me. These lipsticks are very well pigmented, the colors are pretty and I think they last for a long time (about 6-7 hours on me without reapplication). I didn't notice any flavor either, which is a big thing for me.

Simply Vera Makeup Line Review: A New Choice at Kohl's

Simply Vera Makeup Line Review

Vera Wang is mostly known for her super pricy line of wedding gowns (which, trust me, are well worth their price). Some people know about her lower priced line, available exclusively at Kohl's. The line includes shoes, women's clothing, even home items. But, it recently expanded to include beauty items. The line is produced by Beauty Bank, a division of Estée Lauder (they're also behind the Flirt line at Kohl's). This isn't really a lower priced Estée Lauder line, think of it as just another Estée Lauder line. The quality seemed to be the same to me, and the prices are pretty equivalent.

I was able to try out a pretty wide array of products from this line including a tinted moisturizer, lip line primer, eye shadows and lipsticks. Read on to see what I thought.

New Clinique Chubby Sticks! Translucent Colors to Incorporate Bright Shades For Summer

new Clinique Chubby Sticks swatch review
For years I've heard about the Clinique Chubby Sticks, but I haven't really tried them out. I shouldn't have waited so long! They are moisturizing lip balms (they have Shea Butter, Mango Seed Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil), but they have a great translucent color that works with pretty much any skin tone.

They're very popular around the world. Super Strawberry is the #1 shade in the US, Woppin' Watermelon in the UK, Korea, and China. In Brazil and Russia you'll find Whole Lotta Honey and Chunky Cherry rules in France, Italy and Spain. In Japan it's all about Mega Melon.

Now there are 8 new shades, and I'm so excited to share pictures of how they look with you! Read on to see images of both the old and new shades.

BH Cosmetics 32 Lip Color Palette Review and Swatches: Can 1 Person Use this Many Lippies?

BH Cosmetics 32 Lip Color Palette Review and Swatches
We've all seen the huge palettes of makeup. They're often offered for a steal, and sooo hard to resist! But.... are they worth it? Can a company really give you 32 must have lippies for only $15 or so?

The BH Cosmetics 32 Lip Color Palette does a really good job for such a great price. The colors are really pretty, and well pigmented (though there were 1 or 2 exceptions to this), non-sticky and the last for about 4 or 5 hours on me. If you need a lot of variety in your lippie life, this is a good place to start.

Read on to see swatches of each one of the 32 lippies.

Lippie Love: MAC Pink Popcorn Lipstick

 MAC Pink Popcorn Lipstick swatch
This is my favorite of the Reel Sexy lipsticks, and I was really surprised by it! I assumed it would be just another unwearable light purple lipstick. Instead, it is a bit translucent with a very pretty pink color. It went immediately onto my vanity after this picture!
