lips – Karissa Talks Beauty

Hello Friends!

I have a habit of buying lipsticks from Marshall’s on the regular, and I thought that this was a really beautiful color to try! When this formula first launched, I heard a lot of buzz about how nice these were, so I wanted to test it for myself!

Color: Hemp is a pale peachy nude with a pink undertone. In some lighting it looks more nude, and in others it pulled very orange; almost coral. I would still consider this a bright peach nude though!

Finish: After first being applied it has a demi-matte appearance, but it did end up drying down to a very flat matte like a traditional liquid lipstick.

Packaging: I think the packaging of this is really beautiful! It has a black cap and stripe, with a tube that fades from frosted to clear.

Applicator: The applicator of this is a long, flat and rounded tip doefoot that works well to gather enough product for application.

Maybelline Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lipstick “Sapphire Siren” | Review

May 24, 2019October 20, 2022 Karissa

Hello friends!

I actually picked this lipstick up on a whim a while back! I’d been wanting to try a navy lipstick and see what I had thought of it, and I figured instead of spending a lot of money on something at Sephora, I could try a drugstore version to give it a look & see if I like blue on me.

Color: Sapphire Siren matches it’s namesake – it’s a navy blue. Sometimes purples and blues have undertones that make your teeth look yellow, and this is one of them unfortunately.

Finish: The finish appears to be a satin – it’s not quite matte, but I wouldn’t say it’s shiny enough to be a cream, either.

Packaging: I really enjoy the packaging! It’s a traditional Maybelline lipstick packaging that matches the color of the lipstick, which is a beautiful navy! The lid snaps on securely to the lipstick tube, so I wouldn’t worry about it coming undone in your purse.

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color “Obsession” | Review

January 21, 2019October 20, 2022 Karissa

Hello friends!

Before I get into the review, I’d like to start by saying that it did not go the way I had expected it to. This was one of the first lip product’s I’d purchased for myself when I got into makeup, and I used to just love wearing it. I distinctly remember bringing it to work and reapplying throughout the day multiple times.

Color: Obsession is a beautiful hot pink with blue undertones, which is incredibly flattering on my neutral skin tone.

Applicator: In terms of application, I really enjoyed the applicator’s shape. It has a bit of a triangle shape to it, and the curve fits my lips incredibly well, so I found it very easy to maneuver. It also smells absolutely incredible, like a sweet fruity candy. While I absolutely adore the color and scent, the formula was surprising.
