Review: MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Rouge Lipsticks!

#MYARTISTROUGE 

I must say... Make Up For Ever came through when they released their Artist Rouge Lipstick line! If you haven't checked Sephora you're missing out on some pretty cool colors plus some beautiful neutrals. I had added a few of the shades to my loves list when I received an email from Influenster confirming that they were going to send me three shades for review! Excited is an understatement! Even though I received the Make Up For Ever VoxBox for free for review all opinions are my own.

Lets talk packaging first! These retail for $22 which reflects in the packaging because it has a nice weight to it and awesome attention to detail! I was sent three shades, a nice variety I must add ;-) and they're all in the Satin finish. The formula is incredible when it comes to the color payoff. You truly need one swipe to get the color payoff you see below! I personally feel like it's a thicker formulated lipstick, by that I mean that I can feel it on my lips which I don't prefer but it helps with the longevity. It also has a somewhat strong chemical scent so if you're sensitive to smells it may get to you. Swatches shall we? 

*C502- a taupe violet, very cool color but does make my teeth look yellow (yikes!)

*C404- passion red, super gorgeous and bright, love it!

*C211- rose wood, such a pretty rose-mauve, my favorite out of the bunch!

Bottom line: I give the the line two thumbs up because the color selection is crazy + cool! I would prefer for them to be unscented but I'm super happy with the shades I was sent for review. Definitely check them out if you want a lipstick that's pigmented and long wearing! :-)
