Sephora Collective Haul 2014: Lips


Nars Audacious Lipsticks $32 each (0.14 oz.)

This is a new lipstick collection that came out for Nars and also my first time trying it. It is really pigmented and hydrating, most of the time with other lipsticks if they're hydrating they are not as pigmented. They glide on smoothly.

This line has 30 different shades, not all of the shades were available at my Sephora, but all of the shades are available online on their website, I got 7 shades from the collection.

Dior Creme de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm with SPF 10 $27 (0.25 oz.)

The main reason why I bought this product was because everyone was raving about this on Youtube. To be honest, this product is an okay product it's not as hydrating, and the pot container bothers me instead of being in a tube twist-up container, for hygienic reasons especially if I bring it around everywhere. It claims to plump the lips but I used it a couple of times and unfortunately, I did not notice a plumping effect. Mainly, I use this at home in the morning to prep my lips while I get ready or before I go to bed. I don't think I would repurchase. I have to give credit to the subtle rose scent.

 Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick $19 (0.22 oz.)

This product is available in 12 shades. This is similar to the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick, Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream, Sephora Cream Lip Stain. So basically it's a liquid lipstick, highly pigmented,  long-wearing, and dries matte. I would say this is really matte, when you first put it on it will obviously be really smooth and easy to glide on but once it dries it won't go anywhere. Just make sure your lips are well exfoliated, conditioned, and primed. I line my lips with the Make Up Forever Lip Perfector, so my lips wouldn't bleed. It is important for any highly pigmented lip products to be primed so it applies evenly, and also lined with the Make Up Forever Lip Perfector because it is really easy to mess up with liquid lipsticks and it is highly noticeable if you do mess up or if it's crooked. I wanted to get Lolita but it's sold out everywhere!

Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask in Champagne Pearl $26 (0.52 oz.)

 This lip mask is also available in Natural (no color). Champagne Pearl has a peach/pink sheen to it. This would be the go to product for the cold and drying winter months. The consistency is pretty thick, most of the time I use this alone or use it before I go to bed. This would also be fine to use before your lip products but this takes a little longer to set since it is thicker. It's a pretty good product for me and I've used it a couple of times but I'm obsessed with my Marc Jacobs Lip Lock Moisture Balm. I probably would't repurchase for that reason. Their whole line is pretty good and they are an all natural brand. It contains jojoba, organic agave nectar, antioxidant resveratrol (which is great for keeping the moisture in)



 

Sephora Cream Lip Stain $13 (0.169)

This produce is also a liquid lipstick like the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks that dries matte, highly pigmented, and long-wearing, but this doesn't feel as dry as the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. It glides on smoothly, it is pretty creamy, and this is available in 9 shades. I would still recommend to exfoliate and condition because any matte lipsticks make your dry lips more noticeable. It contains avocado oil

Sephora Retractable Waterproof Liquid Liner $13 (0.011)

02 Rose available in 10 other shades

I haven't really played with this, I just fell in love with the color similar to Mac Lip Liner in Buerre. Just like everybody else, I'm also into the Kylie Jenner lip color and every time i see shades of this color most likely I will pick it up just because. Contains a sharpener and a brush.

Marc Jacobs Moisture Balm in #10 Makeout $24 (0.15 oz.)



This lip balm has a twist cap which is pretty awesome! I love this lip balm, this is the best lip balm that I've ever tried. I tried the Fresh lip balms but they were similar to the Nivea lip balm that was really slippery on the lips. The Marc Jacobs Lip Balm is similar but it has a thicker consistency so it doesn't move around too much, it doesn't feel heavy like the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask. This is just the perfect formulation. I would just wait for a little bit before I put on any sort of lip products, which I don't mind doing because this is really hydrating and it hydrates my lips for hours and I don't have to reapply as often. This product contains Spf 18, natural exotic oils and butters like andiroba, buriti, shea, and avocado. Perfect for every season!



Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Rapture $22 (0.09 oz.)

This line contains 20 shades. I love the color and I wanted to try out lip products from Urban Decay since all I ever tried were the setting sprays, the Naked Palettes, and the eyeshadow primers. I mainly picked it up because of the color, not really the Kylie Jenner Lip Color but just a little but deeper, I'm not into nudes but I'm into berries, plums, reds, nude pinks, your lips but better colors, and etc. I like this lipstick because it's pigmented and hydrating. I've only used this once and I'm not neglecting it or anything, I just want to try all the lip products that I recently got and rotate everyday. It contains jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter.



***Just a quick tip, just because the color on the swatches seems like the type of color that you would want. I suggest that you try it on your lips first before you buy it, because we all have different lip color pigments and skin tones so something that might look like a dark berry color on me, it might not be as dark on you as it did on my lips, so just take that into consideration.

***I did buy everything with my own money and I'm not sponsored by Sephora I just get my discount. I am well aware that I didn't mention all of the products from my Instagram because I figured it will be too overwhelming and you would just get lazy to read everything. So I divided it into lips, eyes, face, brushes and tools, skincare, and nails. I will be posting 2 more next week and so on.
