Perfect for Fall: Laura Mercier Lip Evolution

This Laura Mercier Lip Evolution of Colour in Plum Suede ($28.00, lauramercier.com) is so perfect for fall because you get four different shades from a soft pink and pinkish brown for day to a rasin and mauve for night.

The unique thing about this product is it looks like eye shadow but it's actually for your lips. You would think this would feel so dry on your lips but it actually doesn't it has a slightly creamy feel to it. I like it because I can throw this in my make-up bag and not worry about carrying two different lip glosses or lip sticks in my bag.

Lipstick: Good Staying Power but Too Drying

I usually am pretty fond of Max Factor products but I was not really pleased with the Max Factor Lipfinity Lipstick ($8.99, drugstores).

The color looked pretty in the package, so I thought I would give it a try. I followed the two step directions to apply a thin coat of color and let it dry completely before going on to the second step. After it dried I applied the topcoat which is suppose to add moisture and shine to your lips.

The color looked pretty on but my lips felt so dry. Throughout the day as instructed I kept applying the topcoat to keep my lips moist but that didn't really work. It was a good thing I was at home instead of out because I would of been so embarrassed about my dry lips which are never dry.

I had to go to the bathroom and take it off because I just could not take the feel of the dryness anymore. However, one good thing about this product is it really does stay put.

Even though this product did not work for me doesn't mean that it didn't work for you. Remember these are my opinions on products I just want to give my honest opinion and I would love to read yours.

Hydrating Lipstick

Right now I am interested in different shimmer products. I don't like the products that look as though they are full of glitter. I like it to be subtle.

Ulta's hydrating shimmer lipstick ($8.00, ulta.com or Ulta stores) is a product I wanted to try. I purchased the lipstick in apricote shimmer and thought the color was very pretty.

I applied it in the morning and by lunch my lips were not dry but surprising moisturized. I normally don't buy lipstick, I'm a lip gloss addict, but I really like this one.

According to the description: ULTA's exclusive hydrating lipcolors contain lanolin oil to condition and soften your lips with every use. The shimmer formula adds glistening pearl highlights to your lips.

Moisturizing Lipstick

I thought I would try a new color for Winter. So, while out buying necessities I decided to buy Cover Girl Incredifull Lipstick in Bold Bordeaux ($6.50, drugstores).

This is great for girls who want to increase their lips but unfortunately, I'm far from having to plump up my lips. So, I couldn't tell if it worked or not.

According to the package it works by:
Attracting moisture in the air to your lips, to help them look full and plump

What I did like about it? Is how the color goes on smoothly. It's creamy, moisturizing and with a little bit of shine.
