Sephora Give Me More Lip Set

Hello everyone!

If you've ever read this blog or know me, you'll know that I absolutely love all lip products.  I own a beyond excessive amount, and I enjoy all of them!  I did go through a purge over the summer where I got rid of products that I didn't enjoy the colors or formulas of, but that doesn't change the ridiculousness.

I've been putting myself on a makeup no buy over the past few months, but when I saw this I knew I was in trouble.  The products this year are just amazing!  It definitely feels like a luxury set this year, too: Bobbi Brown, Dior, YSL, Hourglass, Marc Jacobs... you get my drift.  Sephora is certainly a high end store, but even then there's certainly price jumps with some brands.  It's great to try these brands and products out without dropping $30+ for one thing!

I haven't tried all of these products out; I'm more posting a "first impressions" and showing you what exactly you can expect if you buy this kit.  I feel like it's really helpful to see swatches, especially because it's nearly impossible to see the actual colors.

Let's jump in!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss "Vintage"

First up is this lip gloss from Anastasia Beverly Hills.  It's in the shade Vintage, which is a beautiful nude pink color with gold glitter throughout.  You can't really see it in the swatch; it looks just like a simple nudey pink color.  The ABH lip gloss formula is extremely thick and opaque, so if you like lip glosses that completely cover your lips, this will be a favorite!  It's not super sticky and lasts for quite a while from what I can remember.  I own two other shades of this in Kristen and Rio; I haven't tried this one yet but I hope to soon!

Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color "Brocade" 

Talk about at luxury item!  This is a full size Bobbi Brown lipstick and I could not be more excited!  The bullet is massive, so if you have thin lips you might have a difficult time with application.  This is a medium purple-berry, and is an absolutely gorgeous fall shade. I haven't tried this out yet, but I've heard a lot of praise in the beauty community, so I'm hoping this will work out for me!

Dior Lip Maximizer "Pink 001"

This is the tiniest sample ever!  I'm so excited to have this, though. I feel like it's a cult classic, so it's great to have the opportunity to try it without buying a full size.  From the swatch, it didn't feel like it was sticky at all.  It looks completely clear in the swatch, so it'll be a nice gloss to just throw on top of something or wear on no makeup days!

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte "Bombshell"

I am so pumped to give this a shot!  I've heard good things about the Huda liquid lips, so I'm excited to test this for myself.  It's a very liquid formula, so if you prefer a moussey texture this may not be the product for you.  I'm a little concerned about how the color is going to look on me; it's very warm and peachy, which usually means it looks orange on me.  I personally don't like having orange lips, but I'm hopeful that it'll look great!

Hourglass Girl Lip Stylo "Influencer"

Hourglass is one of those brands that I hear so much about, but I can never justify!  I remember tons of YouTubers getting these in PR but I haven't heard much about them since.  I always love trying new lip products, especially expensive ones, so I have no complaints!  This is a super cute little sample, and the color is pretty unique.  It looks a lot more nude in the tube than in the swatch; to me it looks super brown on my skin.  I love browns, so I'm certainly happy with the color, but it's not what I expected at all.

Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Color Sensual "Muted Pink"

I'm going to be honest, out of every lip product in the kit this is my least favorite.  I don't like the way that a lot of pinks look on me, and this is extremely pastel.  I'll give it a fair shot, but I don't think this will show up on my lips true to color, which is unfortunate!  The formula itself is nice; I own two other Laura Mercier lipsticks.

Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"

Talk about a cult classic!  This is an extremely popular shade of the Marc Jacobs lipsticks.  It's also really beautiful and a good formula.  Plus, can we just talk about packaging for a second? Love it!  I unfortunately don't have a good swatch; the picture came out way too blurry to use.  I'm sure if you're in the beauty community you've seen it at least once, though!

Sephora Cream Lip Stain "01 Always Red"

Another super tiny sample!  This is the Sephora collection's take on a liquid lipstick.  People always rave about this, and I certainly can't say it's a bad product.  The color is a really pretty true red that would probably flatter anyone.  I personally got this in a Sephora Play box before and wasn't super impressed.  Like I said, not a bad product!  I just didn't feel like it had blown my mind as an amazing thing that you had to have.  I did end up decluttering this for my roommates; I didn't want such a small sample rolling around.

Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick "Drivers Seat"

This is another product that I already have!  It's actually a really beautiful rusty orange color; like a wearable pumpkin shade.  The formula of the Smashbox liquid lipsticks is super comfortable and long wearing, plus the applicator is supposed to make it easier to apply. I personally don't remember if it is or not, but I do remember enjoying the formula. 

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Quench Lip Rescue "Nude"

Let me just say, I absolutely adore the packaging of this.  It's so gorgeous; I might end up keeping it around after I use up the product inside.  If you look at the bullet, you can tell that there's a little nick on the top.  It did come like that, and I've noticed that a lot of other people's looked the same so it must be a packaging issue.  The color itself is a very sheer nude shade.  Honestly, this looks and feels like a balm, not a lipstick.  I've also heard you go through them pretty quickly if you use it consistently, and it's a super high price point.  Something to keep in mind if this sparks your interest!

Too Faced Melted Latex Liquified High Shine Lipstick "Hot Mess"

This was certainly the most interesting product that was in here in my opinion!  It's clearly a hot pink shade, and it's a lip gloss; that's two things I wouldn't personally put together.  It's a very sticky formula and pretty bright color for a gloss.  I'm not sure if I'll be keeping this around; it's a bad time to wear it anyway.  Maybe when it warms back up I'll pull this back out to see if I really want it.

Touch In Sol Metallist Liquid Foil Lipstick Duo "5 Jasmine & Brownie"

Talk about an interesting choice to put in the box!  It's a gloss and a foil that you layer to make the color on the left.  I do like the colors separately, but the formula is something interesting to work with.  One side is like a gloss, and the other side is similar to a gel.  I can't make a full judgement on it until I try it out for myself, but right now it's ranking a little low on my scale of wanting to use.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Big Bang"

Talk about a bang!  This color is pretty intense.  As you can tell from the swatch, it's a hot pink glitter shade.  This would be pretty fun for either going out or a wacky holiday party, but I definitely will use this sparingly.  The formula was a little gel-like when I swatched it and I noticed that as I tried to build it up, it started to just move around and pull up.  Hopefully it applies a little better on the lips!

Wander Beauty Wanderout Dual Lipstick "Nikki Beach & B.B."

This is a really cool product!  I really like the fact that it has two different lipsticks in one product, because it would be easy to flip from day at work to night out if that's something you were interested in doing.  The nude side is way more pink than I had expected so I don't plan to wear it until next spring, but I really do enjoy the formula. The finish on them is super pretty and the colors are nice.  It's not incredibly long-lasting, but I'm not really surprised about that.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture "N 01 Le Rouge"

If anything in this box feels like a luxury item, it is this lipstick!  The packaging is gorgeous and I am obsessed with the power red color.  I don't love the scent of the product but from previous experience with YSL lipsticks it does go away.  I have a feeling this is going to be my lipstick pick for the holiday season and I couldn't be more excited!

Well, that's the entire kit for you!  As you can tell, there were a lot of winners in here and only a few that had me wondering what exactly they were thinking.  I've tried a few of these out already and I'm super excited to keep trying as I go.  I'm hoping that I'll end up loving every product in here, but even if I don't it was super exciting to get all of them!

What's your favorite product from the kit? Have you tried any of these before? Let me know!
