While I was out last night, I stopped at ULTA to use up a coupon and pick up my favorite lip gloss; LASplash Sparkling Coral. To my horror, there was no Sparkling Coral!! No empty slot from running out, nothing. I quickly went to the Clearance rack to see if the color had been discontinued and got marked down. I found nothing. I started to panic a little bit and google LASplash Sparkling Coral with no results.. just my blog. LOL WOULD THEY DISCONTINUE SUCH AN AWESOME SHADE!??? First my Revlon's Life's a Peach and now this.
Anyway, I went back to LASplash to see if I can find another shade half as decent. So, I picked up "Girl Crush". It's a sheer coral/salmon lip gloss with golden pink glitter. I know you're probably thinking.. seriously Natty.. can't you think outside of the box? And the answer is.. No I can't!!! I love my peaches and corals :)
By glance, it reminded me a lot of MAC Smile Dazzleglass. Smile is also a bright with pink glitter. The consistency of the Dazzleglass is a lot thicker, so the color looks more opaque. The pink glitter is exactly the same.
Since the color is sheer, I like using a natural colored lip liner and I like to tone down the pigment in my lips a little bit so they won't look red. When doing my foundation, I run the foundation brush across my lips with whatever residue is left. Then, apply a thin coat of lip balm to prevent drying.
I used Sephora Nano Lip Liner Pencil in the shade #2. (Seen in my previous haul post)
I really like LASplash's lip gloss. They aren't watery, gooey or sticky. Great consistency.. slightly gritty from the glitter.. but that's expected. And the length of wear is pretty average.
It's very pretty. I like the sexy look it gives you.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to find dupes for certain products you like because it's not going to be around forever!
