I'm super late with this review, considering you can't purchase this set anymore, but I figured I would do a review on each of the lipsticks anyways, so you can always find them in my Product Directory.
Sometime before fall, Sephora released this super cute lip product set. I am a sucker for value sets, because of course, you get a bunch of items for a great price. Despite getting deluxe samples, these sets are awesome for trying out products before purchasing the full size. If you ever went through my make-up collection, you could see that I have an obsession with deluxe size products. The Sephora Favourites Give Me Some Lip set comes with 6 lip products; 4 being deluxe sized and 2 being full sized.
I purchased my first Too Faced Melted Liquid Lipstick back when it first released, and I did love the formula. This one in particular seemed a bit watery, but it could of been because I didn't shake it up first.
Melted Chihuahua is a dusty mauve that goes great with many skintones.
This was one of the two full sized products in the set. I was actually quite intrigued by the packaging when I first heard of the juicy shaker, so I was happy to see it in the set. The packaging is fun and cute, and the idea of shaking it like a drink shaker made it fun. The product itself, is a bit underwhelming considering there is little to no colour pay off.
The sweet lemon scent is addicting, while the product felt good on my lips. By itself, it just looks like I applied lip balm. I used this with a lip liner, and though my lips looked great at the beginning of the day, within a few hours, the gloss basically vanished, leaving my lips feeling naked and dry. For $28, it's quite steep, considering there's not much pigmentation to show for. I'll still use it for days I want a little gloss, but for days I need all day shine, I'll pass on this.
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but I hate any sort of "pencil" lipstick. I'm just not a fan of chubby pencils/crayons. I prefer my lipsticks in a tube or as a liquid lipstick. I do enjoy the shade and texture of the NARS Satin Lip Pencil though, so I guess I could look pass my hatred on the lip product type.
Rikugien is a warm rose pink, with a nice sparkle to it. The product isn't long lasting on the lips, and though it's hydrating at first, as it fades, your lips do feel quite dry.
I tried this lipstick previously when I purchased the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick Set back in 2014. The formulas for the Studded Kiss lipsticks are a bit hit or miss; some being more drying than others.
Lovecraft is a gorgeous nude mauve pink, and the product glides on effortlessly. Definitely one of my favourite shades from the Lipstick set from 2014, and one of my favourites from this one as well.
I always love receiving these in Sephora's lip sets. They smell amazing. If you're into lemon scents, you will be obsessed with these.
Not only is the formula for these lip balms amazing, but the scent is just, ahhh. So good. It glides on like butter and does a great job moisturizing. I love that there is a hint of colour to brighten up your face on those days you don't want to put much effort into your make-up.
Here is the second full size product, and I couldn't have been happier to see that it was a liquid lipstick. I was looking forward to seeing this in a lip set, since I wanted to try out the formula before making any purchases. To my surprise as well, it would be a full size! Such a great deal considering the whole set itself is $33, and this lip product on its own is $28.
Stepping Out is a very fall appropriate deep nude. I love the pinky/brick/terracotta vibe it has. The formula doesn't feel drying, and it dries fairly quickly. Very comfortable! I will definitely be purchasing more shades, now that I know I love the formula.
Overall, I loved this years Sephora Favourites Give Me Some Lip. It's always a great value, and a great way to try new lip products without breaking the bank! Look forward to the abundance of Sephora gift sets coming out for this fall/holiday season!
