Wet n Wild's liquid lip colors are great and pigmented however the product is a heavy cream which I think is not necessary and it makes the drying time longer than it needs to be (5 minutes) also once it dries it is very difficult to remove I tried makeup remover, wipes, alcohol, even vitamin E. All I can see is ouch, all that rubbing and tugging on my lips left them irritated and inflamed. Wet n Wild should either work on this formula or pull this from the shelves all together. It is such a shame because the colors especially this one are beautiful. It comes with a sponge tip applicator and the price is under $5USD. I paid $2.99USD for mine.

Sephora's cream lip stain in #01 is absolutely amazing. I love it. It is easy to remove (I use makeup wipes) and is super pigmented, it can also be layered for a more intense effect. Once it is on it is not budging, all day wear, non transferable and no scent or weird taste. It comes with a sponge tip applicator for easy use and the packaging is sleek and the price is very reasonable. $12USD. I get many compliments with this color. It is a blue based bombshell red. It dries very quickly to a retro bright matte red.

Lime Crime's Red Velvet is a force to be reckoned with I thought it was the first of it's kind, but shortly after discovered Sephora's cream lip stain and then the light bulb went off in the head. This dupe is a little on the pricey side ($16USD) and a darker blue based red, that dries down to a matte finish. Since it is the first of it's kind I ever used I will always carry a special place in my makeup collection for this product. I still love it, it is pigmented easy to remove and has no taste or scent. It has build-able coverage and dries super fast. You may have to touch up after eating and drinking but that's the case with all of these products. I kissed a friend of mine and he was shocked that red did not transfer on his lips. Score. (FYI: This product is always sold out on the site, I recommend searching on eBay or other retailers for this product. Or you can try Sephora's cream lip stain #01 as an alternative.)

This is a bright cherry red matte lipstick, for those who love bright lipsticks this one is definitely for you. 

The coverage is amazing and it is matte without being drying. Love this formula, but not a fan of the color.

I love the packaging and the longevity of this lipstick. However I do not like the sheen. Shown above with three coats, you goes on sheer but is build able. Very pretty blue based red for those who do not like the matte look. It feels very nice on the lips and did not dry out my lips at all, even after hours of wear.

Swatch Out: M.A.C Raizin & Blunt Blush

Both blushes are Matte and nicely pigmented with build-able color that lasts.

Blunt is a great color for contouring, or creating a strong cheek. 

Raizin is a gorgeous sienna color that glows on deep skin tones.

Maybelline Vivid Lipsticks: Brazen Berry, Pink Pop, Hot Plum & Fuchsia Flash

 left to right: brazen berry, pink pop, hot plum, & fuchsia flash

 These colors are very pretty however the coverage is sheer and patchy, these have too much slip to them.

The idea was great but the execution is off. It is hard to get the color of the lipstick to come off the same on the lips, and this especially rings true with Brazen Berry which is a pretty muted violet, but goes on sheer. The longevity of these colors are fair I would say I had to reapply maybe 2 times after eating and drinking.

This polish has plenty of bling, loves it. Only one coat is needed and your good to go! I highly recommend a clear top coat. Because of the compact glitter the polish can feel grainy on the nails.
