Lip Product Fails from Sephora (Sephora Collection, Make Up Forever, and BITE Beauty)

      When there is a deal at Sephora, you just can't pass it up. That definitely applied during their Black Friday $10 deals! I grabbed the Origins mask set, Ciate duo nail trinket set, lip duos by Sephora and Make Up Forever, as well as a lip trio by Bite. The product fails, as seen from the title, were unfortunately all of the lip products I purchased. I am not much of a lip gloss person, but that doesn't really stop me from wanting to try them and maybe find a gloss that I actually really like.

      Let's start with the Sephora lip duo. These are full-sized cream lip stains in the colors 04 and 08 (Cute Pink) that normally retail for $13 each. 04 was a matte, burgundy red color on the lips that dried quickly on the lips. Application was easy but the biggest con with this one was the result on the lips afterwards. All your lip lines are extremely accentuated which is not at all flattering. It kind of looks like you slapped on paint on your lips that ended up cracking. 08 (Cute Pink) is described on Sephora.com as a "shimmering rich hot pink." It was definitely a hot pink that was not flattering on the lips at all. Also, the formula was just all wrong. I don't know if I got a bad tube or if the formula is just like that but it was clumpy and applied on the lips all streaky and in patches. Definitely not what I had in mind when I had purchased these two lippies.
