COVERGIRL LIP PERFECTION REVIEW

Date Posted on #GlamCorner: October 17,2013

By Monica :>

Bright, gorgeous color that can transform your day and your lips. Enriched with a silk moisturizing complex, our formula helps sustain moisture levels and helps create soft, smooth, beautiful lips in just 7 days. <According to covergirl.com>

They have a wide range of colour selection (44 lip perfecting shades organized in 4 easy to navigate shade families) so you could definitely pick the right shade for you. It also comes with different finishes perfect for each preferences.

325 Spellbound and 405 Fairytale

The primary reason why I purchased these particular shades is because these are said to be a really good dupes for mac: girl about town in amplified crème finish (325 Spellbound) and mac: crosswires in cremesheen (405 Fairytale). Sadly, I could not do a side by side comparison as I do not own the shades mentioned. However, there are a lot of reviews you could find online ;)

Packaging: It comes in a metallic-y-deep-purple rectangular prism, with the shade number and name at the bottom as well as its colour, which I should say is quite accurate. It is very sleek and sturdy. Making it easy to store (or even leave it on the table without rolling).

The only thing I dislike is that the lipstick’s tip is still peeking, hence if you twist it too hard, it might touch the surrounding of the inner cover leaving you with a not-so-nice lipstick tip.

Rate: 4 out of 5.

Formulation (how it feels on the lips): It is very creamy and feels very moisturizing, not just when you have applied but after that too! It feels the same even after an hour of applying! These particular shades are between satin/ semi-matte finish with a bit of sheen on it (once applied only)

Rate: 4.5 out of 5.

Scent: Faint vanilla scent, nothing too strong, the scent stayed on for a while when I did a swatch on my hand, but I could not smell it when applied.

Rate: 4.5 out of 5.

Longevity: I would say it lasts up to a good 3-4 hours, which is really not bad considering they don’t claim to be long lasting at all!

Rate: 5 out of 5.

Colour Pay Off: The colour is extremely opaque, and similar to the ones shown in the tubes.

Rate: 4.5 out of 5.

325 Spellbound: SERIOUSLY A GOOD DUPE FOR MAC GIRL ABOUT TOWN (Well, Cheska really likes this colour, so I went to the mac counter to try it out a few times to get an idea on how it looks like and also i am looking for a perfect fuchsia lip colour and this is just it).

Bright and bold true fuchsia color! well I would say it’s in between fuschia and plum. Totally buildable.

In Singapore, I think this would be more suitable for night events/ parties (or even to those of you who love to go to the club) but I am not saying you can’t wear this during the day! (Just keep everything simple ;) )

405 Fairytale: An everyday coral lip colour with hint of pink depending on your lips pigmentatiton. Suitable for day-time make up look.

Things to take note:

• IT DOES STAIN YOUR LIPS! (well at least for me it did! I did not even let it stay on my lips for a minute, but when I wiped it off, it already stained my lips!)

• I am not sure if there’s a cover girl counter here, but so far I have not seen one. These are widely available in the US and way cheaper as well, I have seen covergirl counters in the Philippines' department stores.Even though we don't have it here in SG, fret no more as these are readliy available online!

Where to get in SG: www.shopping-district.net (and no they are not paying us to advertise their shop, it just so happens that we order here)

How much in SGD: $15.00 (free normal postage!!)

Final Verdict: Will I repurchase? – SURE I WILL, considering I’d see other appealing shades J

DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional make-up artist, neither a famous beauty guru, all these comments are based on my personal opinion and encounter with the said products. Everything was purchased by my own money.
