I thought that I had found my go-to lipsticks when I tried the lip kits from Kylie Cosmetics, but Beauty Bakerie's lip whips brought some fierce competition! The lip whips claimed that they were also smear proof, transfer proof and long lasting like the Kylie lip kits. I thought it was too good to be true but the lip whips proved me wrong! They produce a bold matte color that goes on smooth and can last through typical eating and drinking. As a teacher, I love that I can eat a quick lunch and then dash out to a meeting or next class knowing my lipstick is still in tact. The applicator brush's design makes it possible to do an outline first and then fill in the lips with the lip color. I would say these lip whips tie with my Kylie lip kits in being a go-to item in my makeup collection. The only thing that Kylie has on the Beauty Bakerie lip whips is that Kylie's products are available in kits that come with a lip liner pencil and the lip whips do not have this option. All in all I highly recommend for a long-lasting, smear and transfer proof product! My only regret is that I didn't order more colors!
Do It For The Graham Eye Palette
Price: $38
This palette has a versatile selection of colors that you can use for an everyday look or spice it up for a special occasion. There are 12 colors in the palette with some matte and some shimmer colors. There are also 3 colors (blue, green and a mixed purplish color) that are duo-chrome which look very cool on. I have used the brown as a background color for several of the other colors (my favorite being the shimmer bronzes and gold). The colors go on smooth and are nicely pigmented. They also blend nicely and do not have a lot of fallout. I have oily eyelids so I always wear primer (usually Urban Decay's Primer Potion in the original color) no matter what brand of shadow I use. I can depend on the shadows in this palette to last through a day of work (roughly 8 hrs) and beyond. This palette has become one of my go-to staples and I use it on a regular basis because again the colors are SO versatile and allow for a variety of look creations. I'd highly recommend this palette if you want a palette that can be used on a daily basis or even on the go if you want to switch it up with a touch of color or even a dramatic look. The only negative I have for this product is the price of $38, however, this price is in line with other high-end/prestige brands such as Urban Decay, Tarte, Too-faced etc. so you are definitely getting what you pay for. The price just may not work for people who are trying to stay within a certain makeup budget, but the good thing about this palette is that you can and probably will use it on a regular basis so it's worth the splurge and will last for a while.
Lip Whip Remover and Sugar Scrub
Price: Lip Whip Remover ($14) Sugar Scrub ($12)
Sugar Scrub (in peach) - The sugar scrub is a nice exfoliator for your lips. It comes in a variety of flavors but I chose peach because I love all things peach flavored. The scrub is pretty basic and you could probably make it yourself with some sugar, coconut oil and flavoring, but if you are not into do it yourself beauty, this is a great product. I use it after wearing the lip whips or Kylie lipsticks to moisturize my lips and remove any of the remnants of the lipstick color. It also works well to use before applying the lip whips to make sure your lips are smooth for a flawless application. **This scrub is also vegan, cruelty-free and paraben-free.**
Lip Whip Remover - These are pre-moistened lip whips that have oils on them such as (jojoba) that easily remove the lip whips and Kylie lipsticks. They leave your lips moisturized as well. The one thing to be aware of is they do smear the lipstick a little around your mouth when you use them so you may want to have a wet cloth available to clean that up. ** This product is vegan**
Do It For The Graham Eye Palette
Price: $38
Pros: blendable, great color story, long-lasting, smooth/creamy application, little to no fallout
Cons: price
** The palette is also cruelty-free, vegan, paraben and gluten free**
