Review: Covergirl Lip Perfection (The CVS Clearanced)

Okay so I thought that somebody out there would appreciate swatches of some of the Covergirl Lip Perfections together while seeing them at the CVS clearance that's going on. I know I would have. I was looking up swatches on my phone like crazy trying to decide if it was a good color. So this will be mainly up for the swatches and I may add more because I think I want at least 2 more lipsticks.



Product Range Name: Cover Girl Lip Perfection lipcolor
Shade Name(s): Smolder, Impassion, Entrall, Fervor
Retail Price: $7-8
Amount: 3.5 g/12 oz.
Available Color(s): 44 shades according to the CG website
What is it? Lipstick
Where to get it? Anywhere that sells Covergirl

(Natural lighting)
L-R: Smolder, Impassion, Entrall, Fervor

(Flash)


Smolder: My-lips-but-better type of nude with a tinge of brown to it that has a creme finish
Impassion: Bright shimmery slightly burnt orange. Despite its appearance it's not too incredibly shocking too wear.
Entrall: Bright shimmery red. A bit too bright red for my tastes so I have yet to wear it out.
Fervor: Rosy Mauve with a creme finish. Dries down to a satiny almost matte finish as seen above.

I must say these lipsticks are phenomenal. They're pigmented, smooth, and not heavy on the lips. I didn't experience any drying from these either.

The plastic tube seems durable enough. The squared shape of the tube also makes them easy to store together. The bottom even has the lipstick within it so you know exactly what color you have without having to open the tube.

Overall:
10 out of 10
I found no faults with these Covergirl lip perfections as of yet. These want me to actually dabble into Covergirl products again. By far my favorite product by Covergirl yet even though that's not saying much since mostly everything I have tried from the brand has failed me.

Haul: CVS Summer 2012 Clearance plus Extras


I took a couple trips to CVS to raid their clearance and because I had a couple of coupons. Like every other beauty blogger I really need to get on a no buy and start using up things. Me, probably WAY less then others, but none the less compared to the average girl I need to, desperately. ^^;




Covergirl - Lip Perfection lipstick in Enthrall Charme: ($3.99) It's actually a lot more bright red then it appears in the tube. It's my first lipstick from this line so I can't vouch for the others, but the texture and color payoff are amazing with this one in particular.

Essence of Beauty - Dual Smokey Eye Shadow Brush : ($1.75) This has been great from my lazy days, but I gotta say my ELF eyeshadow still beats it by a long shot.

Almay - Line Soothing Concealer in Light/Medium : ($2.62) Saving it till I use up at one of my concealers.

Revlon - 24 Hour Colorstay Whipped Foundation in Warm Golden : ($13.99) Super hard to match yourself since all the foundations look alike from the outside. Usually I would be somewhere along the line of Warm Golden, but it turned out too light on me. So I'm going to whip it out again during winter when I'm hopefully lighter. Other then the skin color being off I really do like this, not as much as the original Colorstay foundation though ^^;

Covergirl - Single in Forever Fig : ($1.85) I've yet to try it, but I've swatched it and to be honest, I'm not impressed.

Revlon - Matte Single in Peach Sorbet : ($1.25) Yet another great matte highlight.

Revlon - Satin Single in Polished Bronze : ($1.25) Fits right into my taupe-y eyeshadow family.

Confetti - Nail Polish in Tazmanian Devil : ($1.99) Finally got this to try and take a crack at doing a Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop dupe attempt.

Sally Hansen - HD in Resolution and Hue : ($1.82 each) They look pretty average on their own, but they absolutely shine under a black base.
