Give lips new depth



I'm a BzzAgent.  I received samples of COVERGIRL blastflipstick to try out and give my opinion.  I received 3 of the 13 blastflipsticks shades; stunner (red & gold), minx (brown & copper) and vixen (dark mauve & pink).  Over the course of the campaign so far, I've used all three.  Although all three are quite awesome, I've become quite fond of stunner.   That could be because its Christmas time and I've worn various shades of red which it really goes well with or maybe red lipstick is just my new color.  I thought these were going to be just another lip fad but I truly think these may prove to be a product I could use for some time.  They blend well, aren't overpowering and are somewhat long lasting. 

So what are blastflipsticks.  Well they are 2 lipsticks in 1. You can flip your look with these double-ended lipstick duos. Each stick has a creamy shade on one side and a shimmer shade on the other, it's two wearable, blendable, lipcolors in one. 

I tried using one color at a time but I find they look the best when you blend them.  The shimmer shade really tones down the creamy shade and the creamy shade keeps you from looking like a clubber...unless you like that look then by all means shimmer away.  I do not normally wear dark lip colors so having the ability to tone them down all in one small stick is quite appealing.  I've mainly worn them for parties but I also did a few regular days with them.  I found that the color doesn't really fade which is profoundly appealing.  Its not considered "long lasting" or "color stay" but its better than most other lip colors.  I didn't reapply after Christmas dinner and in pictures you couldn't tell.  My favorite way to wear them thus far is put a coat of the shimmer on the inner areas of my lips and then go over the outter area with the creamy shade.  Then rub your lips together.  It looks fabulous.  It gives your look a new depth that is hard to achieve without complementing colors.  And since these complementing colors come all in one it makes it that much easier. 

They are a little pricey for lipstick, in my opinion, running around $7.99 a set.  But when you think about it being two colors with a myriad of possibilities it is much easier to justify the purchase.  Well, having a coupon doesn't hurt either.  Regardless it is worth the asking price as these are unique complementing colors that give your lips a new depth. 

I personally recommend giving these a try.  I do not think you will be disappointed.
