SinfulColors Lippies - Winter '2012 Collection

I feel like I just won the freaking lottery!  I have been searching all over for these babies and I finally found them 13 trips later @ my local Walgreens.

I fell in love with the first collection my favorite being Pucker Up Baby which was the perfect shade of pink for my skin tone click here to view post.

The colors I purchased this time around were:

• Peach Me 
• Pixie Dust
• Sugar Cookie
• Flirt Alert

Some may disagree but these have been compared to MAC's Dazzle Glass Collection and I believe some can be considered dupes.  I like all the colors I purchased my favorite of them all I think is Sugar Cookie.  This collection seem to consist of sheers each of them containing shimmer and are buildable  and non-sticky (which I love by the way). The formula is consistent to the first collection and I must say that I am a happy consumer for the second time around.

These babies were purchase @ $2.99/ea at a Walgreens quite a ways from me and I snatched every color they had left which were sitting in a small container on the counter.  Now if I can only find Pucker Up Baby again I would purchase at least eight of them *I'M DEAD SERIOUS*  Well anyway this made my weekend and I must say i'm a happy girl!

I wanted to give a description of the colors but my little one had too much banana pudding and is jumping off the wall right now so I just included this photo of swatches on my inner arm and included some photos of each color as well.  Ok! I have to sum this up now before child protective services show up at my door.  I want to give him some water to flush his system of the sugar but then we'll have a pissy mess on our hands later.

Well go and grab these lippies if you can find them - you will not be disappointed trust me!  I just hope it doesn't take you as many trips and it did for me to find them!

What the E.L.F. is that???

 Well who would have Thunk-it (ebonically speaking)!  Walgreens is slowly winning me over with the broadening of their cosmetic and beauty products particularly the one located on 55th Lake Park (Hyde Park-Chicago, IL) and this time was no different.

I originally went in during my lunch break to see if they had the Fergie Collection by Wet-N-Wild and not to my surprise they did - but I ended up not getting anything because I pretty much had all the colors and nothing really stood out to me.  However, I did end up picking up Leap Frog by Sinful Colors which will be in another post.

Well anyway I went back again after work and came across what I thought I was reading wrong but it was in fact true; they had E.LF. Cosmetics 5 piece lip gloss set and a 32 piece eye shadow kit in warm.  The other thing that smacked me in the face and made me blush was that the price was only $5 bucks for each kit.

I hurried up and snatched the eye shadow kit because it was the one left.  I usually don't get the last of anything because I feel like it's picked over- but oh well it turned out fine.

I love warm palettes because they are neutral colors and you can pretty much pair them with any outfit.

Below are more pictures - I will swatch them later but the few that I did were very pigmented and didn't seem to be chalky at all.

Now on the lip gloss - this is going to be really quick because I am a rambler and I tend to keep going and going and going....LOL.

I can say that I actually like the lip gloss and the consistency.  It' not to thin or too thick and it doesn't coat up on your lips to the point where you have what I call Muppet strings forming on your lips while you're talking.

I like these better than M.A.C. (boy I can see yall heads turning on that one). I don't know what up with the M.A.C. Lip Glass but it leaves a white coating and gritty mess on my lips after a couple hours of wear.  My hand downs favorite gloss would be Mary Kay Moisture Shine glosses they are absolutely wonderful and pigmented  The colors in the set from left to right are:

• Pink Pop (it's more a nude color) 
• Flirt - Pretty pink
• Guava - Coral tint
• Houston - Mauve
• Cherry - A sheer red

The only one I've tried so far is Flirt and I loved it on my lips...most of these I will be pairing over a lipstick an the smell of them all are wonderful.  They are buildable with the exception of Cherry.  I will be sure to update you all as I wear them.

Well I've given you more than enough to read but if you run across these in Walgreens be sure to pick them up.  Oh yeah prices may differ between Walgreens - I had to throw that in there.
