Rave: Covergirl Lip Perfection Lip Colour in Hot Passion

In the Priceline Free Beauty Bag that I got earlier in the month, there was a $10 voucher off any CoverGirl purchase. I went to Priceline on Monday and used my voucher to get a CoverGirl Lipstick. I chose a red lipstick called Hot Passion(305). It's apart of their "Runway Shades" from Pat McGrath who is a fantastic make up artist. The lipsticks in this range contain a silk moisturising complex that helps to maintain moisture and keep lips looking beautiful. There are 7 shades available in Australia (but 16 in the US).

I have a love/hate relationship with red lips. I LOVE them, but find them difficult to pull off. I think it's mostly because red lips command attention, and I'm more of a wallflower. But I decided to go out of my comfort zone, and embrace the bold lip. 

Lipstick by itself

Lipstick with gloss over the top

I haven't used a CoverGirl lipstick before, and found the consistency to be really soft and creamy. I'm much more of a gloss girl than lipstick, so I'm getting used to a more matte finish, rather than glossy shiny lips. I like that the lipstick is quite moisturising (even though it feels drier than what I'm used to). 

One thing you'll see from the picture is that sometimes it looks bright red, while at other angles (and in different lighting) it's more of a pinky red. Every room in my house made it a different colour. 


What I loved about the colour (especially when it looked more red) was it really makes your teeth look super white. 


I found that it lasted for about 4 hours before it started to fade. You'll need to reapply after eating.


Overall I was really pleased with this. For only $15 (I paid $5 after using the voucher) it was a great bargain lipstick. I'm looking at buying "Spellbound" which is a gorgeous bright pink.
