Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Love Bite

~purchased by me~

Everytime I foray into a new brand for lip products, particularly lipsticks, I always get one red. If you know me personally or have seen my FOTDs or selfies, you know I rarely wear red on the lips. I love my nude pink, nude peach, pink-mauves and corals but I have a hard time finding a super good red. It’s not my way to measure how good a brand is but since I rarely wear and only use it for certain occasions, mainly parties. So with that in mind, I look for an opaque, non-drying, moisturizing, non-feathering, non-migrating, long lasting formula. Slight staining properties is a plus (stains with same color as the shade used). All the above without any aids, meaning lipliner, concealer on the edges, anti-feathering liner.

This is love at first swipe. Opaque at first swipe, non-drying, moisturizing, long-lasting with slight staining capabilities. And then I find smudges of the lipstick on my chin, above my upper lip, etc. Maybe I should let it dry first. Ugh, I still love it so much.

I would give this a 4/5. I took one point away for the feathering. Despite that, it is still my top red lipstick. Do you have a top red lipstick in your collection? Do share below and thanks for dropping by.

Milani Bedazzled Collection

~purchased by me~

 

I saw this display at a CVS and it made me double back. The eye liner looks pretty. Not something I would use if it’s that glittery but they look so pretty so I got the eye liners and the lipsticks. The display also reads LIMITED EDITION so that really got me interested.

My thoughts plus more pictures of the eye liners HERE.

And thoughts and pictures of the lipsticks HERE.

Did you pick anything up in this collection?
