* These ones seem to be discontinued.
In the end, the only ones that are really very close are the Stila and Be a Bombshell glosses. I prefer the BAB formula. It's thinner, and so it will bleed slightly more, but it's easier to apply, feels better, and lasts really well. So bye bye Stila.
Here's a lip swatch of Hot Mess:
You can see lip swatches of a couple of the Revlon ones here. The color of the Revlon Balm Stain in Romantic and the Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple look pretty similar, but the formula is totally different, so they can both stay. I fail at eliminating things! Sheer reds with some sheen are just so fucking pretty, though.
yes this has been helpful in that now I want all of them.
ReplyDeleteDo it! Except you can't have the discontinued ones, I guess.
Deletei have the candy apple lip butter! it's amazing. i bought the shade by mistake when i was a little tipsy and couldn't figure out that the display was all out of order. luckily it turned out well and the orange-red suits me (never guessed that would be the case!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the sheerness helps, because normally those shades aren't the bes ton me either.
