Hey Everyone
ore. So, without further ado, lets get into the colors!!
(I am going to talk about them in the order they are in the
palette)
Sheer Shame
This one surprised me because it looks realllly dark in the
palette but it actually comes out as a sheer pink/ purple color on the lips
(duh… should have realized from the name!). I really liked this one a lot more
than I was thinking I would. This color would be great for a little brighter of
an every day color, like a fun summer event or something! It also applied
nicely and because of the sheerness, it was super easy to hide and mask
application mistakes!
Firebird
OMG this color is bright. It is a great basic HOT pink (with
a touch of purple)! It has a glossy finish that really catches the light and
brings out its brightness/ awesomeness. This would be great for a fun night out
with a statement lip. This one was pretty nice to apply as well, however
because of the bright color it was harder to hide and fix mistakes.
Big Bang
This is the only color in the palette that had glitter in
it, and 10 year old me was super excited. This is a fun bubblegum pink color
with lots of iridescent glitter in it. This is a nice color because the glitter
doesn’t come off as “disco ball” on your lips but its definitely noticeable. It
allows the light to catch this color nicely and really brings the focus to the
lips.
This color is a fun Barbie pink color. This one has a glossy
finish that is perfect for summer days! Still would be a jump for me to wear
this color on the reg but the color is so pretty, and im such a pink fan, I
definitely think it can be done!
EZ
Wow, this one is red. This is the glossy red in the palette,
and boy is it bright. I thought I was going to like the other color better
(714, which is coming up next) because I tend to like more matte lip colors,
but I actually liked this one better! I mean, if you’re gonna go red, go RED! And
this one definitely does that. Might be wearing this one to a couple holiday
parties / events this season! (here’s looking at you MICU holiday part!!)
714
This is the red I was most excited to try, but it kinda fell
flat in my opinion. I love a red lip (.. because I think I am Taylor Swift)..
and I tend to like matte reds more than glossy ones (they stay better and
require less thought and maintenance). This color was dry on the lips, hard to
apply because it didn’t go on very evenly, and hard to correct when I made application
mistakes.
Vanished
Surprisingly, I am disappointed in this color. As I said, I tend
to gravitate toward nudes, but this one is straight up concealer. It is a
glossy finish, but I could barely even see it on my lips, and after putting
coat after coat on, I finally just gave up.

So this is the first of the “browns” that are in the palette.
I was most nervous to try the browns because I have literally never worn a straight
up brown lip before, but this palette is full of them (well.. there’s 3). I
didn’t hate it as much as I thought, but it definitely wasn’t my favorite of
the 3. This was a little darker than I would normally wear, and matte. It was
easier to apply than 714 (the other matte color) but still not something I
would reach for first.
Ex Girlfriend
This is by far the winner. When I opened the palette this
morning, this was the color I applied for the day. I mean, very typical of what
I normally wear, so kinda not the point of this post, but this glossy darker
pink wore really nicely throughout the day, only requiring 1 reapply, which is
pretty good for a glossy color. I mean, I can go on and on about this one, but
I wont, because this is the most basic color in the palette!
Amulet
So this is the second of the browns, and I definitely liked this
one the best. It is the lightest, glossy and has a little bit of shimmer in it.
It actually looks a little pink in the picture (maybe because this was the 11th
color I had on and my lips were raw from makeup remover…) but this is
definitely something I would wear on a daily basis. I also like it because it
looks much darker in the pot, which makes me feel a little badass if I were
going to pick it out!
Conspiracy
This is the third of the browns. This one actually wasn't that bad either. It is the darkest of the three, but I really liked the gloss and a little bit of iridescence it has. I would wear this to a night event or dinner. Looking at the picture it isn't appearing as dark as I thought it was on my lips, so maybe that's a good one! Who knows, maybe it will turn out to be one of my faves!
Blackmail
OK this is the doozie of a color. This is the darkest,
vampy-est and most daring color. This is a dark purple that can almost look
black (as it does in the pot). I tried this one last because I was so afraid of
it. So the verdict? Actually not terrible! It would definitely take a lot for
me to wear it, and to the right event, but if I channel my inner Kylie Jenner,
I think I would dare to wear this for an evening… so stay tuned, maybe I will
one day!!
Well that’s it! I hoped this gave you a good idea of the
colors in this palette! I would say its definitely worth the buy, its easy to
travel with (comes with its own brush, which by the way I used to apply all the
colors) and has a color for pretty much anything you need.
Hope everyone’s having a nice Sunday and preparing for the week
ahead!
XOXO, Bethany
