M.A.C Cosmetics Hello Kitty Lip Conditioners

When MAC Cosmetics released their Hello Kitty Collection, I immediately bought both of the limited edition lip conditioner shades. My initial thinking was that these would be like the tendertones conditioners (read previous review). I turned out to be wrong, but I still love these two pot conditioners!

The conditioner in the Hello Kitty pots seems a bit thicker than the MAC tendertones balms. They also have more pigment than many of the tendertones did. Each shade imparts a nice sheer color and is indeed moisturizing. There isn’t much to them in terms of any flavor, and I could notice a bit of the taste similar to the limited edition MAC tube lip conditioners that I did not care for. However, this was greatly lessened over the taste of the tube conditioners, so I don’t really mind it.

What I love is the look of the two shades, plus the container is so darn cute! Below are swatches of the two shade. Left is Popster and right is Pink Fish:

I am quite glad now that I bought both of them!

Kiss My Face Organic Shimmers and Lip Shine Gloss

This may be a duplicate for some. Wordpress seems to have somehow eaten the first one!

Kiss My Face is one of my favorite natural; products companies. Awhile back, they sent me their collection of their matching Shimmers and Shines to try. All are quite lovely! I will also be holding a give away of this entire line next week, so keep an eye out for that!

Kiss My Face Sheer Organic Shimmers have a sheer color and come in a light vanilla mint flavor. They condition and moisturize lips with Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Vitamin E. I like the very sheer color on these.

The Sheer Organic Shines are high gloss with excellent pigments and color payoff, yet no stickiness whatsoever! They feel great! Shown below from left to right in both sets of swatches are the shades: Pearl, Opal, Ruby, Topaz, Amethyst, and Garnet. The Shimmers on on top and the Shines are below.

Pixi Cosmetics Lip Blush

Pixi Cosmetics a division of Petra Cosmetics, have recently become available in target stores and I grabbed a few items to try. Among them was the interesting Pixi Lip Blush.

I label this one interesting because it really is lip stain packaged in a felt tip pen. I tried the shade Youth, which is a lovely light pink. The pen makes application a breeze. Heck, with the fairly pointed tip, you can even line your lips with this thing! I also loved the shade. A swatch is below:

I found that the lip blush lasted very well, and it worked particularly well as a stain underneath a sheer lip color or gloss. One other thing of note on the Pixi Lip Blush is that it comes in multiple shades. Many of the popular stains tend to come in one dark rose shade, so having alternatives is rather nice.

Look for Pixi Cosmetics at Target stores or online.

MAC Strobe Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15

M.A.C. Strobe Tinted Lip Conditioner is a re-release of a product M.A.C. put out several years ago. I distinctly remember it, because while I loved the feel of the lip conditioner and the pretty tints that it came in, it had a bit of an off taste for me. Basically, it had that heavy lipstick taste that you sometimes get with cheap brands. So the last time around, I used up the tube that I bought, but kept wishing that M.A.C. would fix taste.

Well, here it is again. So when a couple of samples arrived for me from M.A.C., I quickly opened them up hoping for the same thing as last time minus the odd taste.

It still tastes the same.

Now to be fair, I am not seeing a lot of other people complaining about the taste (but I haven’t really looked very hard either). So maybe it is just me. Other than that, it is a delightful item. It feel nice, it protects and conditions, and the tint is just enough to be seen, but not enough to feel like you just put on a coat of lipstick.

I just wish it tasted better…….
