The other day I went out to run some errands with my roommate, and one of our stops was Ulta. Now keep in mind, I'm trying to find a job right now so I'm on a tight budget. In light of that I have not been buying any new cosmetics so that I'm not spending money I don't have on things I don't really need. However, I have been wanting to try out these lip creams since they came out forever ago, and I have been hearing such great things about them.
These lip creams retail for 5.99 at ULTA usually, but they were on sale this week, so I got them for an extra 1.50 off, plus my rewards card discounted them a bit more so ultimately I got them for 3.62 each! On top of that I used my rewards points to get another 3.00 off of my transaction-WHAT DEALS!
So I am thoroughly pleased with the deal I got on these two lip creams. I got one from each type of finish, the Xtreme Lip cream has a more satin or glossy finish, and the color I got from that is Nude peach fuzz (bottom photo). This color applies very opaque so you have to be careful not to swipe it all over your face. Other than that it applies like a lip gloss, but it lasts all day! It didn't even transfer very much when I was drinking some ice tea from a glass.
I haven't tried it yet, but I also got one of the Soft Matte Lip Creams in Istanbul (top photo). I have been in love with this shade forever and I'm so ecstatic to have it! It is a rosie pink color, when swatched it seems to apply just as opaque but much more pink than the other color, so don't be misled by their similar appearances in the photos. I will do application comparisons and update this review when I've thoroughly tested out Istanbul. Yay!
Well it seems I'm a bit wordy in regards to these products, but thank you for taking the time to read all of that! Don't hesitate to ask questions or make requests in the comments!
