The Lipstick League Question of the Week
What was the last product you purchased due to hype, that ended up truly living up to the hype?
G's answer: I would have to say CoverGirl Clean Matte BB Cream. I saw so many people raving about it when it first came out, so I bought it the moment I found it and it is seriously my go-to BB cream now. Perfect for when I'm in a hurry and just need to apply something quickly that I don't need to worry about touching up throughout the day. It gives great coverage, stays put all day even without setting powder or primer, it controls oil, doesn't get cakey or settle into my pores or fine lines, doesn't break me out, and it doesn't oxidize on me. I also love that I can apply it right up to my lash line and on my lids and it doesn't sting or irritate my eyes (great for when I'm skipping concealer). It's perfect, I tell you! Absolutely lived up to the hype.

I think for me it's Whole Blends conditioner in Honey Treasure. It makes my hair so soft, silky and bouncy! Just love it!
ReplyDeleteTwo things I bought due to buzz or good reviews were Urban Decay lipsticks -- I got one of the Gwen Stefani ones when they first came out and really liked the formula so I've bought more of those. The ones marked half off are really good, but the new rollout is even better, with good staying power, etc. (At least they perform wonderfully for me.)
ReplyDeleteThe other thing I kept hearing good stuff about are glycolic peel pads. I tried some from Dr. Dennis Gross, as a splurge, and then some from Nip + Fab. I thought they'd be BS, but worth a go, but since I've tried them I've barely had a breakout and am wearing less foundation.
There's been a "new rollout" of UD Gwen Stefani shades?! When did this happen, and wear can I buy them? How could I have missed that?!
DeleteGood to know you liked the Covergirl BB cream. I didnt cave... yet.... We are similar coloring - what shade did you buy and does it match well? I'm looking for light coverage, easy application, and a matte finish...
ReplyDeleteBecca highlight in rose quartz. I bought it sight unseen due to someone's review. I love it so much I genuinely wish I bought two if them! It's absolutely beautiful and unlike any highlight I've ever used
ReplyDeleteFreedom London Pro HD Brow Palette. Holy WOW! I had no clue eyebrow powder could be so creamy and easy to work with. Especially after recent purchases from CVS (I'm looking at you NYX!). I'm cheap and loathe paying for shipping, so I waited until I hit the free shipping amount. I love all the goodies I bought, but would gladly pay shipping for this one palette. It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteHey, G, I saw that We Heart This mentioned a NYX advent calendar. They just today announced another one of Lip Lingerie products on their Instagram stories. If you don't get there in time, I grabbed screenshots. It's coming out on 11/14.
