COVERGIRL Blastflipstick Buzz Campaign!

I am really enjoying being a Buzz Agent. One of my latest campaigns is for the Covergirl Blastflipstick lipsticks!



I can't say that I am in love with them. They are a terrific idea. My problem: The taste. I can't hardly wear it with the horrible waxy cheap crayon taste that tickles the back of my throat.
The colors don't look bad, and they mix together ok. They are a bit drying - not the most moisturizing lipstick for sure. Some of them feel gritty due to the glitter in them. Some colors also stain pretty badly.

I really want to like Covergirl, but most of their products haven't changed since I was a teenager and their new products have yet to impress me. I really hope that BuzzAgent winds up with more widespread makeup brands for their kits. But, I am glad that I can share my honest opinions with you! And honestly, I'd give these a D. The actual lipstick design makes applying to the lips a bit difficult. The only reason I wouldn't give it an F? It's a really good concept. They just didn't pull it off in my honest opinion.


Here is a video of my first impression:


Here is a video of some live swatches


And here are swatches of the colors that came in the kit.

Stunner, Vixen, and Minx



These products were sent to me free for review by Buzz Agent.

Starlooks Starbox Demcember - Palette Swatches!

So for December we got an awesome palette with 15 full sized eyeshadows in plenty of colorful colors!
I of course did a video!

And then I also did swatches!
The box and palette!
The colors are great and the shadows are very pigmented and smooth. I noticed that the shimmery shadows are much smoother than the more matte shades but the pigmentation is certainly there. I LOVE how the incorporate the color wheel into this palette! For someone who loves art, it's like a bonus!
