Not All Lipsticks Are Created Equal

So I decided to test all of my lip products, and compare their health benefits, if any, as well as their price. The title is slightly misleading as I am not JUST testing lipsticks. But it sounded better that way.

1. The Lip Bar Crimson Wonderland, $25.00

This luxurious color comes from a company that prides itself on being bold. It's a gorgeous red that lasts and has little smudge issues. The line is HAND MADE from all natural products. In my opinion, this is the red everyone wishes they could own.













2. Model Co. Party Proof Lipstick Coachella Crush,$17.00

First off, the first thing I noticed from the brand is that the lipstick smells amazing. That's not usually your first thought when it comes to similar products but I digress. This product is so... so juicy. A little goes a long way with this line. Because of it's thickness, it does last a long time... However note that it easily smudges at first so just try not to move or do anything with your lips for a while and give the product time to settle a bit.









3.Hikari Cabernet, $13.00

I probably use this lipstick the most. For me, it goes on easily and stays put. I have no issues with smudging. They do not test on animals and for those with allergies, they list every single item that is used to make each product in the description. The product also blends beautifully with something that has a little more sparkle.













4.French Girl Organics, Cerise, ???

Great news for her, sad news for us... The owner of French Girl Organics is taking a break for the holidays. Once she comes back, however I highly suggest everyone try this brand. The tint is a subtle shimmer that works to heal your lips as well as look pretty. It has a nice peppermint smell and all the ingredients are listed on the back of the tube. One of my favorites.










5.Vincent Longo Lip and Cheek Stain, My Sunshine, $24.00


Talk about long lasting, this is your product. Once it's dry there's no shine, though so if you're looking just to darken your lips this is your products. Mix it up with a shimmery gloss to change up the look!
















6.(PLA)BEAUTY, Hero, $22.00

This is one of my favorite glosses. It makes your lips feel full and there's always a nice shimmer. Unlike many glosses, it's thick enough for the color to be present and it's not too watery.

MAN, this company began with a strong woman turning a sad story into something beautiful. She lost her first daughter to an infection and the 2nd only weighed 3 pounds at birth--but she survived! A portion from each purchase goes to children's hospitals around the nation, but mostly to the Atlanta Children's Hospital.

AWWWWW


 

1.SMASHBOX, Be Legendary Long Wear Lip Laquer, $24.00



This could be mistaken as a lip stick with shine it's so strong. I love it. It dries as a stain for up to eight hours. And what's better is that sometimes stains dry funny, this one doesn't. Two thumbs up!

















2.Cynthia Rowley, Valentine Lip Stain, $20.00

It's a cute tube packed with a punch. As you can see in the picture, the stain goes on thin but is extremely bright with a touch of shimmer. So cute.

Cynthia Rowley designs a lot actually. It's all adorable. I approve.













3. W3LL PEOPLE, Nude Rose Bio Extreme Lipgloss, $23.50


This gloss straight up smells like someone took candy canes, crushed them, and shoved them into this little tube. But really though. As you can see it's more liquid than color but it's super great for your lips. This is great for a more casual look I think. Or perhaps some layering... To give what you're wearing a little bit of shine!















4.From The Lab, LIP COLOR STICK NO. 337, $17.95

From The Lab is such a cool company. They use stem cell research on fruits and vegetables to get the most out of their nutrients.

This particular product blew my mind. You'd expect a crayon to be hard and more dry... But this stick melts into a creamy lipstick substance. It also keeps your lips moist. I approve.











5.Pixi Beauty Shea Butter Lip Balm, PIXI Pink, $8.00

A chapped lipped girl's best friend. This is like basically all shea butter with a little color pigment. So perfect for healing your lips. As you can see, it's actually quite pigmented for being lip balm.

LOVE LOVE LOVE












6. MANNA Liplocked, Lucky, $24.00

It's a stain. It's a gloss. It's a primer! It's a must have in my regular make up regime. This product is amazing on it's own, and it's great for dulling a lipstick that's just too bright for certain occasions.

The owner of the line is all about female empowerment as well. Who runs the world?

...Girls with this MANNA liplocked









I had another page of 6 lips products but honestly it felt like too much. I had a lot of fun retrying my favorite products out today and I hope I've inspired some of you to try these amazing products out! You should know that I am not compensated for any of the products I recommend, I just genuinely like them. To end this post I wanted to find a sweet Beyoncé 'Who Run The World' gif but they were surprisingly hard to find unless you want a hair flip and some shoulder shruggin'... But I finally found this gem:

Lots of love,
