Summer Favorites -- Lip Products

I did a fall favorites lipsticks post -- so I figured I'd do one for summer as well -- except this time include all my favorite lip products (not just lipsticks - glosses, balms, etc.). I have a ton of items that I really like for the summer, and I couldn't shorten the list.. so here goes!..

 First up are my favorite Wet N Wild lipsticks! I picked out the colors Think Pink, Just Peachy, 24k Gold (I think), & Dollhouse Pink.

As you all know from multiple previous blog posts that I am amazed by these beauties :D I love them oh so much -- and these just happen to be my summer favorites! I wear the hell out of Think Pink & Just Peachy -- and if I'm feeling bold I'll wear the others.

Next I have my favorite balms. I picked out (from bottom going to the top) Revlon Balm Stains in Charm & Darling, Maybelline Baby Lips in .. I can't remember the name but it's the Peach one, & the Elf Conditioning Lip Balms in Nice & Natural and Peaceful Pink.

I love all of these -- I think they're all great products & they'll keep your lips nice & moisturized for the summer.

I've been wearing lip liners as full lip colors here lately. However, since they are extremely drying -- I never wear them alone. I always wear a tiny bit of gloss on top.

From left to right -- Jesse's Girl Lip Liner in Melon with Elf's Glossy Gloss in Wild Watermelon, Elf's Mineral Lip Liner in Peachy with Elf's Glossy Gloss in Tangy Tangerine, & Elf's Matte Lip Color in Natural with Elf's Glossy Gloss in Sweet Salmon.

Really liking all of these. I really really like the Elf Matte Lip Colors. I have all but one of them -- but for some reason I'm hooked on this one paired with the gloss. It's like an enhanced natural look for your lips. Makes them look pretty & plump ;) I love it!

I have two Revlon products I've really been liking. I don't wear these together though.. just put them in the same picture lol. I picked out the Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti & Revlon Colorburst (I believe?) Lipgloss in Papaya.

I love this lip butter! I did a review on it here. I recently picked up this lipgloss because I found it on sale at my local Rite Aid for 75% off! So I ended up paying like $1.87 for it. This lipgloss is extremely pigmented & looks great by itself.

Lastly I have my mixed brands of lipsticks. I picked..

Mac's Viva Glam Nicki, Mac's Creme De Nude (spelling?), Rimmel Kate Moss 12, Covergirl's Fairytale, Revlon's Primrose (was also a Fall fav), Maybelline's Sensational Porcelain Collection lipsticks Porcelain Pink & Flawless Fuchsia (these are limited edition).

I just got these Maybelline lipsticks yesterday, but I already really like them. I plan on doing a separate review on those. Covergirl's Fairytale is such a unique & pretty color. It's like a light pinkish red color for those of you (like myself) who don't like the way bright red lipstick looks on you -- this is a perfect alternative.

I know that's a ton of favorites -- but I just though I'd share them & the swatches with you guys so you can go out and purchase ones that you like :)

Benefit High Beam Dupe!

Sorry it's been awhile since I've been on here :P I haven't really been into makeup and all lately - therefore I haven't been purchasing any which leads to me having nothing to review/talk about. But I've had this product for awhile and realized that it's pretty much an exact duplicate so I figured I'd share with you guys! :)

I have a mini size bottle of the Benefit's High beam. The full size bottle retails for about $28 I believe at Sephora. Well, I've already done a review for Elf's Body Shimmer which you can see HERE -- and one of these Elf Body Shimmer sticks matches High Beam exactly.

The Elf Body Shimmer stick is called Mystic Moonlight. Obviously, the texture is different than High Beam. High Beam comes in a liquid form and the Mystic Moonlight comes in a solid cream form. But the color payoff is like a perfect match. Same color, same shimmer - everything. I find that the High Beam is easier to blend than the Mystic Moonlight -- but that isn't a big deal to me when the Mystic Moonlight is $3 compared to High Beam's $28.

I'm not saying that I do not like High Beam -- because I do. It's a great product! But it's a bit pricey for me and I can't go and repurchase 34384347 bottles of it. So Elf's Body Shimmer stick in Mystic Moonlight is more my type since it's only $3. Plus Elf always has sale coupons floating around on the internet so you can probably pick it up for half off ;)

Hope you enjoyed this review & I'm going to try and post more -- I promise! I have tons of new things coming up that I am looking forward to blogging about :)
