Does anyone know of any (not frosty) bubble gum pink/lilac drugstore lipsticks? I want it to be pale in a surfer girl tan/blonde kind of way. Jessica Simpson but more natural. I bought a Cargo lipgloss that I want to layer over it (Chattanooga) so I would prefer a cheapie lipstick.
i saw a loreal juicy tube-y thing in the drugstore that was very strawberry milkshake pink. another recommendation i can make is pink poodle lip glass by mac (sorry i know you wanted drugstore).
It is so funny that you ask this question. Boy do I have the lipstick/gloss for you. I really think it's what you are looking for. Let me pre-face telling you the brand with this story. This morning I put on my new lipstick/gloss and while driving to work I check it out in my rear-view mirror. I decide it's very candy-pink, reminiscent of Jessica Simpson. Sounds like what you want, huh?
Anyway, its from a drugstore, cheap, and so far I like it: Revlon Colorstay Overtime Sheer in 800 Sheer Blossom. It comes in a tube with two ends; one side is the color and the other side is the gloss; they are applied with a wand -very easy application.
I haven't bought a long-lasting lipstick in years so I figured I would give it a whirl, plus Target had a coupon for their new 10-day nail polish for free (worth $6) with the purchase of any two Revlon products, so I ended up choosing that lipstick/gloss combo and their regular lipgloss.
The lip color is great. It is a light pink with a hint of shimmer, and it isn't sticky. It was very slightly sticky when I first applied it and pressed my lips together, but after I applied the gloss, it felt like I was just wearing a great gloss. The gloss wore off from breakfast and the lip color stayed. I haven't re-applied the lip color or the gloss because I want to see just how long this stuff will last with one application. I love how it looks so far. My lips don't feel dry, the color didn't bleed or get cakey looking. It just looks great.
I hope you try this; I think you'll be very happy with it.
dot- I'm not opposed to makeup counter but I wanted instant gratification (i.e. CVS right down the street). I will check out pink poodle and I've also heard Snob is a good color for this.
drew- i will have to check that one out. for a temporary fix- i bought a Wet n Wild shade- 527- and it was only $1. It is a medium barbie pink. I then layered a Cargo lip gloss (Chattanooga- the milkier shade) over it. It looks pretty good. Now I just have to see if I can make it either milkier or maybe a little pinker and less purple-pink. It'll prob look better when I have a little more color on my skin.
That pretty much looks like the shade I am wearing (hard to tell for sure cause of monitor color's), but even cheaper. It looks great and for a dollar, well, you just can't beat that, can you?!
