SORBET GET LIPPY MOISTURISING LIP COLOUR #TBT REVIEW

This #tbt review was 1st posted exactly 2 years ago today and I
see that Sorbet have increased their Get Lippy range to 16 shades
and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the prices have remained the
same on this product.

~~~~~~

I was initially drawn to this product because of its name, 
as LIPPY is a term I use all the time, 
so I just had to put this Sorbet GET LIPPY Lipstick to the test.




GET LIPPY Moisturising Lip Colour comes in 12 shades, 
which isn't a huge selection, 
but I was immediately drawn to my perfect shade - TRUE.
Sorbet also offer Matte Kisses Lipstick (6 Matte shades)
GET LIPPY is a beautiful, easy to wear, natural looking soft pink that
 I'm loving and it's one of those shades that will always find a place in
 my Lipstick wardrobe.



The first thing you will notice about the formula of this lipstick is how easily
 it glides over the lips and considering it's a moisturising lip colour it's
 surprisingly long wearing.
 Both nourishing and moisturising this formula contains coconut, lanolin, sun protection additives and anti-oxidant vitamin E to fight harmful free radicals.

This is now my 2nd Sorbet review this week and the final one will be up 
on Sunday and considering my "not so good" review of the
 Face First Ant-Ageing Foundation last year my faith has been re
stored in this brand, as so far we have 2 out of 2 Winners...

L'ORÉAL LES CHOCOLATS ULTRA MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK {REVIEW}

This fairly new collection of Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks from L'Oréal are deliciously named 
"LES CHOCOLATS, yet despite their name they were not on my beauty radar until they were 
recommended to me very recently.


Les Chocolats Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick is a collection of matte liquid lip colours in 12 chocolate-inspired shades (unfortunately only 8 are available in South Africa) all with an irresistible chocolate scent and I was hooked from the first whiff.
Matte lipsticks are generally not my first choice as like many, I find them too drying 
and they often flake or crack.
However that being said it is an area where huge strides are being made in research and development 
to find that easy to wear matte lipstick that provides comfort and all day colour 
and I think L'Oréal may have just cracked it with this one...


Initially I thought the shade range was perhaps a little too dark for my skin tone, but then I found my most perfect nude shade ever in the form of 842 Candyman, it was a perfect colour match for my natural lip shade, but just better.

Les Chocolates Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick has a melt-proof formula so you can forget your lip colour smudging or budging, for up to 12 hours, as once its on its going no where
The lightweight lip colour formula is comfortable to wear and doesn’t crack, crumble or flake, its also enriched with ultra-saturated pigments for an intense colour payoff. 
The easy to use slanted teardrop shaped applicator allows for precise application whilst the pointed end allows you to outline your Cupids Bow.


Despite being a little sticky upon application, I have found myself reaching for this lipstick daily since I bought it and for all the right reasons
 It really does stay on all day, it doesn't smudge, transfer or bleed and most importantly doesn't dry out your lips 
and best of all it's Chocolate scented...

Here are a couple of tips to help when wearing a matte lipstick:
Ensure that you exfoliate your lips regularly as a matte lipstick doesn't
 like dry chapped skin.
If need be you can always apply a lip balm over the matte lip several times a day
to provide comfort and a little lustre.

3 LIPSTICKS THAT I AM CURRENTLY LOVING

I think after nail polishes, lipsticks and lip glosses are my most purchased beauty items, which I think could be the norm for many of us.
 It's an affordable "pick me up" product that can instantly change your look 
and often your mood.
I tend to buy and then use that particular shade for weeks until another shade takes over and I very rarely repeat purchase the same lipstick or gloss. 

I have three that I've recently been loving and are currently finding a home in my handbag.
Now I know that they're all very similar in shade, but the mauve/pink/nude
 type of shading is what I enjoy and more importantly shades that I find flattering.
I have written full reviews on two of the below so to read more click on the 
Pink Links 





1.

This Urban Decay HI FI SHINE Lipgloss has been my go to lipgloss
since I purchased it several months ago.
Not only do I love the packaging and the applicator, but this shade Backtalk
compliments my palette of the same name,so well.

2.

Another Urban Decay lip product that has stolen my "lipstick heart"of late
is in the form of the Vice Creme Lipstick in the shade Violate.
Again the super sleek packaging of this luxury product won me over, but the creamy formula is what's important, as it glides onto the lips beautifully and I will definitely
 be buying more from their huge shade selection.

3.

This next lipstick was not one I purchased, but one that I received free
in a recent issue of the Cosmopolitan magazine.
Often the shades that are offered as freebies never seem to suit me,
but this from Woolworths own brand WBEAUTY Hydro Lipstick did 
and I love topping this shade KOKI with a clear/pearly lipgloss.
Its moisturising texture has also won me over and again more shade
purchases could be on the cards in the near future.

Let me know in the comments below if any of these are your
 current favourite lipsticks.
