Hey you and happy weekend to us! I thought it would be fun to share some new beauty products that make me think of Valentine's Day. They're super cute and I hope you enjoy them, too! And I've got swatches of everything!
*c/o
Covergirl Colorlicious Lipsticks--These come in a wide assortment of shades, meaning there's something for everyone. These are just a few of the 36 colors available!

I've got 4 of these swatched for you. The glitter top coats have 2 coats and the others have 1 coat. $1.99 at Walgreens
Daredevil--a pop of neon pink. It has a slight blue-based shimmer with a satin finish.
Decadent--Dazzling red with metallic flakes. Love this over white, black, pink, and red.
Dream On--A brilliantly induced boysenberry with a satin finish.
Love Sprinkles--Bubblegum pink with a splash of sparkle. See the heart-shaped glitter in there? Love this over white and pinks.
Rimmel Provocalips 16 Hour Kiss-Proof Lip Color--The second I saw these at Christmas, I instantly grabbed them because they made me think of Valentine's Day. How cute is that packaging?
Here are the swatches. I can get a long wearing time out of these. I was wearing the one on the far left in a recent tutorial on kiss-proof lips. Check drugstores and ULTA for these.
Covergirl Lip Lava--If you want a super sparkly lip, you will love these. I seriously want more colors. Bolder than a balm, glassier than a gloss, more lustrous than a lipstick. The hybrid formula of new Colorlicious Lip Lava combines highly pigmented shades with iridescent pearls for saturated lip color with the high shine of lacquer.
These have a brush applicator, which I don't like, but the color payoff makes up for it. It doesn't feel gritty on your lips. These look really great in pics, too. They are prettier in person than I can capture here.
Viktor & Rolf BonBon--This was released last fall but I had to share it in this roundup. How cute is the packaging? If you love really sweet scents, then visit Saks and give this a sniff. Here are the scent notes: -Top: Tangerine, Blackcurrant, Orange -Middle: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Peach -Base: Guaiac Wood, Cedarwood, Caramel
Holika Holika Heartful Silky Lipstick--Ok, y'all, this isn't a new product but I HAD to share it. I mean is this not the cutest lipstick you've ever seen?? It's heart-shaped. If that isn't Valentine's Day then what is? I'm way too excited about it, as you can tell.
You can order these from Asian beauty stores online (like I did) but they are now being sold at UrbanOutfitters.com. Pick up a couple like I did, because it will obviously lose the shape once you start using it.

- For my #JALS challenge (read here to catch up) I am going caffeine-free twice a week. I am telling you this as I sip from my coffee, so the challenge is going super well. ;)
- Had a power outage last night so this post is up super late since I'm writing it right now! I just gave up and went to sleep with the battery on my alarm system beeping...and beeping. So I gave up sleeping. Once the power came back on I was freezing--and the temp had only dropped a few degrees. Ha! I am such a wimp. A few hours without power? C'mon! Now I'm off to take a shower since I couldn't take one last night. You better believe I took off my makeup in the dark though! I used these wipes.
The packaging alone on that perfume makes me want to buy it!
ReplyDeleteI'll take one of each please! The Love Sprinkles nail polish and heart shaped lipstick are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like Valentine's to bring out our love for pink and reds:)
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your tutorial with the Rimmel Provacolips I knew I wanted to check them out, but after seeing the cute way you did the swatches, I want to run to the store. That looks really cute. And now I think I need to make a trip to an Urban Outfitters. Great round-up.
ReplyDeleteThat perfume packaging is so pretty.

Great products. Glad your electricity came back. Wouldn't want you to have to go to the YMCA and shower in a room full of men... :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all these products especially that last one lipstick, so cute! =)

Great products. I have probably tried 1-2 lipsticks from Covergirl but I plan on trying these soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautetude
How cute are those heart-shaped lipsticks?! I think i remember seeing those online before...I love perusing Asian beauty sites. They have the cutest and most interesting products! These heart-shaped lipsticks are almost as cute as the cat-shaped lipsticks from Paul & Joe! At least these are more practical. I also really want to try the Covergirl Colorlicious lipsticks....and so my beauty addiction grows...haha
ReplyDeleteYou're going caffeine-free twice a week?! That is a hard challenge to conquer. I'm not sure I could do it...or I could do it, but don't expect me to do anything productive those two days haha
Hope you have a great weekend! :-)
those heart-shaped lipsticks are so cute! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteSorry you lost power! Glad to hear it is back for you today. The packaging on the Rimmel lip color is so cute! I kind of want to buy them just for that. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLove those shades of pink! So pretty! Thanks for sharing! <3 - www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeleteHeart shaped lipstick - so cute!! Happy Friday!! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely DYING to try the Lip Lava! Covergirl has been releasing so many cute lip products lately!
ReplyDeletexx
Love the lil hearts, I mean they are a reason to buy a new product, right?!?!
ReplyDeleteSparkle nail polishes are my downfall, especially around themed holidays!
hi dear, i like all the lipsticks
ReplyDeletekisses
I need Love Sprinkles right this second!!!! I tried to find Provalips at Walgreens last night and they didn't have them. Sigh. I will hit up Target this weekend! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese are some really cute products. Glad to hear your power was restored. We were out 5 days once and it was seriously no fun not to mention cold.

Love those shades! So perfect for Valentine's Day. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore those Sinful Colors polishes. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI really want o get my hands on Rimmel Provocalips but I've bought so many makeup already in February and yes, it's only beginning of the month. LOL!
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
All the pretty colors! makes me feel like Spring is coming!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Glad your power came back on. I'm a total wimp when my thermostat drops even a few degrees too. Love all these fun products! I want to try the CG lipstick and the Rimmel Provocalips.
ReplyDeleteno power in the winter?? glad it's back! Love the love sprinkles!!
ReplyDeleteThey heart shaped lipstick is so cute! Thank god your power went back on. A few degrees makes a huge difference indoors. 5 degrees is a huge jump
ReplyDeleteI totally want that heart shaped lip stick! I want to try out those new Covergirl ones too!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great products but I really fell in love with the Holika Holika Heartful Silky Lipstick its so pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!

Love the covergirl nude colors. Ugh losing power stinks. I had frozen pipes so I couldn't shower, you would think it was a week for how long I stayed under the warm water this afternoon.
ReplyDeletewow, those cover girl lipsticks look so cute!! Who knew? I never go and look at their lipstick.
ReplyDeleteThat heart shaped lipstick is too cute and so are your little heart swatches. I love it all!

What an adorable idea with the heart-shaped lipstick. I've been a fan of Sinful Colors for a long time and for the price they don't tend to chip any faster than, say, essie!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing these, love the glitter nail polishes!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty picks and colors for V-day! I'm actually really love soft pink lipsticks these days! Happy weekend lady!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing picks. I am especially loving the Bubblegum nail polish. Gotta go pick that up

I'm eyeing Rimmel lipglosses..colors are pretty..sinful nailpaints look good too..
ReplyDeleteglad to hear you power came back on. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to pick up some new lipstick, I'd really like to try the CG colorlicious!
ReplyDeleteThis Holika lipstick, how cute! And I told you in an old post, that I am eager to try the Rimmel Provocalips. The Viktot and Rolf perfume seems to be nice! Well, some hours without power... not good at all! But well done, taking off the makeup in the dark!

I think I need to check out that V&R perfume....I so wanted to get on the flowerbomb bandwagon (so many of my girlfriends raved about it!) but it so didn't smell right on me. But I'm always game to try a new scent. And I think I'm due to get a little daring and try some color in my lip glosses...I think I could start with the LipLava nude one...hey baby steps! =)
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty products-- and I agree, the heart shaped lipstick is just about the cutest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteThe sparkly polish makes for such a cute V day manicure!
ReplyDelete-Sharon
All beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteI've seen those lip lava's at Walgreens and I've been debating trying them--they look so pretty here! I really like the Provocalips, and oh...my...gosh...that Holika Holika Heartful Silky Lipstick is SO CUTE!!
ReplyDeletevery nice and interesting post inspiring also !

That Holika Holika lipstick is ADORABLE. And huge LOLs that your JALS challenge is going well - as you sip coffee! Ha! I'm cheersing you right now with coffee! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Love Sprinkles nail polish looks so sweet :)
ReplyDeleteI adore lipsticks and nail polishes and reds, pinks and plums; so I'm on sensory overload right now. ;) Lovely stuff here, Elle. T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI love all of the pink and red and cuteness even though I am not the biggest fan of the holiday!! Great post Elle :)
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous shades of lipsticks and glosses, So many fun, bright and glittery nail polishes also. Great post. So thorough and interesting, as always. =)
ReplyDeletePleasure catching up Elle.
gorgeous lip shades.
ReplyDeleteCoverGirl has been killing it with their products lately, so I'm sure those lipsticks are pretty fabulous. I'll have to look into them next time I'm at the store - I'm also still on the hunt for those Rimmel lip products, too! Great round up, girl!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of the Holika Holika Heartful Silky Lipsticks - now, I MUST have one! They're so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe provocalips look amazing! I need to try one at some point. I also love the heart shaped lipstick. Such cute packaging and lovely shade. x

The Provacalips are really awesome! I purchased three (the three on the right in your pic) and, while I have only worn two of them once, I LOVE them! Of course it's better to not have super dry lips, but I've noticed that I can kind of get away with slightly dry lips with these longwear lipsticks. That;s not always the case with liquid lipsticks, so I am thrilled! :-D
ReplyDeleteKatie // From My Vanity
Just got a couple of the Lip Lavas, and I'm loving them!
ReplyDeletean actual heart shaped lip product?? i'm in love!! how very cute!!! those colorlicious lipsticks from cover girl are some of my faves - i own two of them and the formula is fantastic and hydrating feeling!
