Fall Trends - Berry Lips (drugstore edition)

Hi There!

One of the fall trends that I have seen a lot of recently is the berry lip. I thought it would be fun to do a drugstore only post on some of my recent favorites, so here they are:

~Baby Lips Dr. Rescue by Maybelline (shade 60 Berry Soft)

$3.99 - CVS

The Baby Lips line from Maybelline has been buzzed about for a bit now, and the newest edition that I've tried is the Dr. Rescue. They come in six different shades, all fairly sheer, with a distinct menthol/eucalyptus smell. They tingle slightly when applied, but I find that to be a pleasant sensation on my very dry lips. There are a lot of bold claims made by Maybelline about this line - 12 hour hydration, soothing, smoothing, renewing, etc. I can't speak to the smoothing and renewing, as I haven't been using them exclusively for long enough to tell, but they definitely soothe when applied. 

~Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm by Almay (shade 100 Just Plum Good)

$5.99 - CVS

Let me just start this out by saying that I am in love with this product! It comes in ten shades, and glides on very smoothly with a doe-foot applicator. And the smell...oh my. It smells like a cross between caramel and cotton candy. It's incredible. There is no sticky feeling, and it leaves just the right amount of color to give impact while still looking natural. This product also comes with claims of having balm like qualities, such as providing hydration and softer, smoother lips. I did find it hydrating, absolutely. This is definitely not a long lasting product, however, so you may want to keep that in mind.

~Color Whisper by Maybelline (shade 85 Berry Ready)

$7.99 - Walgreens

The Color Whisper line has been a favorite of mine for a few months now, but I hadn't tried this particular color until last week. It's really a lovely shade (there are 20 in total), with much more color payoff than the name would suggest. Maybelline describes it as having a gel formulation, and it really feels nice and weightless. Again, it's not particularly long wearing, but it will last for a few hours, which is reasonable for me. 

~Twist and Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain by Jordana (shade 06 Cranberry Crush)

$2.99 - Jordana

I haven't tried anything from the Jordana line in many, many years, but I have seen this crayon stick reviewed positively by several YouTubers, so I thought I'd give it a shot. In terms of color and pigmentation, it's very similar to the Color Whisper Berry Ready above, just a touch lighter. It applies easily, and leaves an initial glossy finish that does wear down (FYI Jordana describes it as, "glossy finish that transforms into the perfect flush of color." Pretty accurate). The color does stay on the lips for longer than a typical lipstick, but not quite as long as a lip stain. There are 8 shades available.

~Silk Finish Lipstick by Wet nWild (shade 552A Just Garnet)

$0.99 - Walgreens

Wet n Wild makes some pretty solid lipstick, although they do tend to feather a bit, so watch out for that. This shade is a nice mix of plum and red, and it's extremely wearable. It's not a moisturizing formula, but the pigmentation is fantastic and the color is very flattering. You will definitely need to touch it up after eating or drinking, and I highly recommend using a lip liner and applying with a brush to avoid the edges bleeding. All in all, a really nice and affordable option that makes a statement!
