Okay so after my post on tinted lip balms I thought I would share with you some of the different lip shimmers I have. Here we go!
First up we have Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer. I have only tried one of these and the one I have is super frosty. In my swatch pic below, Guava is on the top. As you can see it is a very frosty silvery pale pink. I can wear this if I apply just the tiniest bit and put some gloss on top. Otherwise on me it looks way over the top and garish.
Second we have Wet N Wild Natural Blend Lip Shimmer. My swatch pic above shows Sugar (middle) and Berry (bottom). Berry is my favorite out of all the lip shimmers I have mentioned in this post. It is very light as far as shimmer goes and it is very creamy and moisturizing. I feel this shade would look awesome on a variety of skintones. It's not too light and not to dark. It's just perfect! I love to wear it under lipgloss and lipstick too. Sugar is extremely similar to Burts Bee's Guava with the exception being it is a tiny bit more warm toned.
Last we have Chapstick True Shimmer. I didn't swatch these for y'all because honestly I can't tell a color difference at all. They are very cool toned and all I see is silver shimmer. Where these are nice is the fact that you have scent variety. I own Blended Fruit Sherbet, Peppermint Rush and Tropical. I bet you can guess my favorite - Tropical! It's your standard chapstick just in new scents and with a shimmer hookup.
These are all great products and perfect for the upcoming Spring and Summer for a light alternative to lipsticks. All brands mentioned above can be found at mass retailers and drugstores.
