The colors look pretty similar when they aren't being worn or swatched, so I knew a quick swatch would be necessary to show how these lipsticks are each appropriate for different occasions. I'm clearly a lover of a deep pink lip, probably because of the contrast between my fair skin and dark hair.
I hope this picture displays what I'll explain. (Left-Revlon Lipbutter in Wild Watermellon, Clinique Chubbystick, Maybelline Vivid Rose.)
The Lipbutter I could go on and on about. The whole line is absolutely fantastic, and I own probably a few too many of them:) There's a great amount of pigmentation in this lipbutter, and as the name suggests, it's so incredibly smooth and buttery! Although I love so many of these precious colors, Wild Watermelon truly stands out for the summer- it's such a fun color, but it's not too BAM IN YOUR FACE! (does that make sense?) Basically, you can see it's a great color, but it won't look like you're wearing too much makeup for a summer day. I pair it with my Naked palette and wear it to my job at Aerie, wear it on date nights with my boyfriend, and to church with a cute sundress and curls.
The Chubbystick has been a favorite of mine for a year now. It's definitely the most sheer of the three, which makes it great for a day at the pool or beach. I use it instead of a normal SPF lipbalm when I'm out in the sun because it's very moisturizing and leaves you with a beautiful pink tint. The application, (I'm sure you've already guessed this) is so incredibly smooth and nourishing.
Maybelline Vivid Rose- This is probably my favorite shade of lipstick I own. I love the pop of color this gives me on my fair skin, and when I put on a pair of cat-eye sunglasses and high waisted shorts, I feel as though I'm channeling my inner 1960's fashionista. It's such a fun lipstick for the summer, especially if you're heading into the city with friends or spending the night on the boardwalk. I definitely wear a neutral eye with this sensational color- normally a champagne colored shadow (Stilla Kitten or Urban Decay Sin), a liquid liner, and mascara on my outer lashes. I am SO into this look for the summer.
Let me know if you try out any of these colors- I couldn't recommend them enough! Hope you enjoyed this post and follow me throughout my beauty treasure hunts:) Of course, comment below with any questions, or just to say hi:)
Have fun!!!
