Every time i went to visit i always turned away so koi, avoiding any contact. They made me nervous, they made me feel out of place. I snuck a peak every now and then, maybe a quick little touch or two but always ran away intimidated before any one could see me. I would never been seen admiring their beauty. But when ever i turned my back i could hear the lipsticks laughing at me. For so long i was so scared of lip color. What looks good on me? What if i look like a beat up hooker? What if i do it wrong, or pick the wrong shade?! The girls online will laugh at me, i'm sure of it(Which you gals haven't, :D) One day, i got over it...
...I marched proudly into my makeup aisle, walked up to those lipsticks, and started pulling out colors i liked. Now, for this first collection i was a bit conservative, theses are mostly my "safe" choices just to get me started. But i've fallen in love with lip stick. I never wore it before, and right now i can't get enough. I'm currently on a hell bent hunt trying to find either Candy Yum Yum (SOLD OUT FREEKING EVERY WHERE!!!! D:<) or a perfect dupe for it. So count on the next lipstick haul being mostly Candy Yum Yum attempted dupes. I really hope you enjoy this haul, because this is my first venture into lipsticks. I'm nervous. :#I ended that weekend with five new tubes of lipstick, here's what i got.
Rimmel Moisture Renew in "Berry Rose"
Cover Girl Lip Perfection in "Spellbound"
N.Y.C.'s Ultra Moist Lipwear in "Petal"
Rimmel Moisture Renew in "Berry Rose"
Cover Girl Lip Perfection in "Spellbound"
N.Y.C.'s Ultra Moist Lipwear in "Petal"
Two Cover Girl's in
Spellbound and Embrace
<3
Two different ones by N.Y.C.
Lilac Dream and Petal
And one by Rimmel. Honestly, i only got this one because the packaging was bright shiny purple. By purple law i was obligated to get one of these.
Berry Rose
Hahaha...you are too funny. I'm glad you got spellbound, I know it's going to look gorgeous on you!!

CHECK IT OUT! I'm going to go hunt down the dupe today! XD
I heard everyone love the color Airy Fairy by Rimmel! Whenever I go.. it's always sold out =(
ReplyDeleteIve been hearing good stuff about the Covergirl ones, and I was thinking of getting a few colors myself =) they have 44 colors!!!
ReplyDeleteMan there are blogs all over the place trying to find good dupes for CYY, but so far all the ones I've seen, though very close, just aren't the same. I don't own CYY, but it looks so scrumptious and not easily replaceable. D;
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post btw! For the last several months, I've been obsessed with lipstick too. But like you, I'm way intimidated by them and afraid of making a wrong purchase and wasting my money. That and I'm currently on a no-buy since I spent a lot in Feb/Mar... >.<
I can't wait to see your swatches and reviews!!! :D
@Dani: I lovvveee Spellbound its one of my new faves
ReplyDelete@Amanda: If you find one close you HAVE TO LET ME KNOW! I plan to start my search soon
@Janalyn: I really like the cover girl ones so far, i think you should go for it
@Emily:I'm so sad that CYY is such a unique color because all the dupes for it so far are just not the same, not the same... :(
And i'm glad you could relate, lol, i thought i might be the only one scared of lip color.
Look up Sleek Amped, it looks like it might be a good dupe. I'm waiting for CYY in the post so I'll let you know!
ReplyDelete@Robyn: Just looked up Sleek's Amped, it is very close! I've never heard of this brand before...and their website is in some other language. lol
