Cover Girl Lip Perfection- MAC Toxic Tale's subdued cousin

I have two swatches for ya from the new Lip Perfection formula from Cover Girl. These are really soft and creamy, I recommend using a lip liner because as you can see in the swatches they are easy to mush around and bleed a little. I do prefer a little less slippery formula but this does feel very moisturizing- almost like a balm. Here are the two colors I've tried:


When I spotted Fairytale the first thing both the name and color reminded me of was MAC's Toxic Tale from Venomous Villains but I knew it wouldn't be as bright. I decided to compare anyways...

When swatched on my hand they were closer than I expected. Fairytale is a little more sheer, a shade lighter and a shade pinker.

Compared on the lips...
So, if Toxic Tale was a little too strong for your tastes I highly recommend picking up Fairytale.

The one thing I'm really hating about these lipsticks? There is no damn product name anywhere on the tube. No, the color name IS on the bottom but what the line is? No where to be found. This bugs me to no end.

I found these at CVS, I've also seen them at Walmart and you can find them at Walgreens for around the same price, $7.49.

Latest Fyrinnae order Dia de Los Muertos and FOTD

The new Dia de los Muertos collection from Fyrinnae is now on their site, as soon as I notice I rushed to order and I was not disappointed!

For both the above picture of the pots and the swatches below:
From L-R and Top to Bottom- Danse Macabre (vibrant grass green with gold shimmer -free sample), Calavera Cupcakes (silver-purple), Eternal Innocence (peacock teal-green), La Noche and (deep yet bright midnight blue) Catrina Cabaret (dusty teal with purple shimmer)

I am blown away by how gorgeous these are. Such vibrant colors! I have a lot of Fyrinnae shadows but these have potential to become favorites (I'm looking at you La Noche and Calvera Cupcakes). And look below at the cute little sugar skulls on the labels, it's the little things that make me happy and this is one of them.

And because I couldn't resist playing when I got them, here is my FOTD...





Products used:
MAC Painterly Paint Pot (base)
Revlon Vintage Lace matte eyeshadow (highlight)
Fyrinnae Danse Macabre (inner corner to middle of lid)
Fyrinnae Eternal Innocence (outer corner of lid)

Hard Candy lipstick in Fire Alarm (you would think it was gonna be red)
MAC Toxic Tale lipstick (switched to after first picture)

Ignore the hair, I told you my bangs are ridiculous!

Sally Hansen Natural Beauty lipstick in Sunburst

I randomly round this tube in another display (I think it was Wet n Wild) and have never in all my drug store roaming spotted a single other tube of this lipstick. I find this a little weird. Anyways, Sally Hansen Natural Beauty lip stick in Sunburst is a very pretty pink-peachy color and the formula feels very sheer and moisturizing. I would pick up a couple more of these if only I could find them...

MAC Venomous Villians Toxic Tale + Violetta swatches

I'm a sucker for lipstick, we know this, but not often do I fall head over heels in love with a color. From the moment I laid eyes on swatches of Toxic Tale I knew I had to have it and I was not disappointed. The first swipe of Toxic Tale on my lips was all it took for me to ooh and aah. Toxic Tale is neon coral-red and not for the tame. Cream finish. The texture is very creamy on this one and the color payoff is fantastic.
Evil Queen on the lipstick case.

For fun I did a comparison of Toxic Tale with a couple other MAC shades:
Vegas Volt leans more orange, Toxic Tale more Red and Impassioned more pink.



Violetta had been on my want list for awhile and I was ecstatic when I read it was coming out in this collection. It is a slightly pink dark purple with shimmer.

Malificent on the lipstick case.

Close up of the packaging.


There were several other tempting lipsticks but I decided to purchase a couple other things instead.

Did you pick up anything from this collection?
What would you pair these colors with?

10x Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick swatches

And I think that finishes up my Super Lustrous collection! I really like the formula on these and highly recommend them for drug store lipstick. They also have a fantastic color selection.

Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color

When I don't like a product I try to keep on the positive side and not be totally negative but sometimes there is just a product I can't think of a single nice thing to say about...
Okay, I should have seen this coming probably. This lipstick is horrible. I mean look at it. It's chunky, nubby, odd shaped and pretty flat. Now look below at the swatch of Stoplight Red to see what kind of application this gave me:
Yeah, not pretty! This lipstick is dry and hard to apply anyways but mix that in with the weird nubby shape and it gets even worse. Getting this around the corners of my lips was the impossible without making a mess and defining the cupid's bow was a joke. I consider myself pretty good at applying lipstick, I can even apply reds without looking in a mirror pretty damn well. But I have met my match, Mega Last...you evil SOB Mega Last.

And that's another thing. Mega Last my butt, this stuff doesn't wear any better than any other standard lipstick. Oh boy though, it does have that unpleasant dry feeling I associate with long-lasting lip color though.
Hmph, and I was just starting to trust you for things other than polish Wet N Wild...

MAC Drive Me Wild & Viva Glam Cyndi

Just a swatch for you from the recent MAC Fabulous Felines collection, I only picked up one lipstick. I expected to want more than this but nothing else really struck my fancy. Whether this is good or bad has yet to be decided.

How would you describe Drive Me Wild? It's a weird one, kind of brownish red with copper gold shimmer.

And here is Viva Glam Cyndi that I finally picked up, for some reason I didn't want it before but I finally decided to pick it up and I am so glad I did. I'm sure you've seen it before but beautiful semi-sheer coral can never get old.
