Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage: It's been sitting in my makeup drawer forever. I refuse to get rid of this electric pink lipstick, yet I've worn it twice. It's the makeup equivalent of shouting into a megaphone.
Thus, Colour Riche Balm Pop. It lets you wear the super-bright shades that your bold inner self gravitates to, but it's not so opaque that your outer self isn't too shy to wear it. The orange-y Fiery Red would look great on dark or olive complexions, and there are no fewer than three wild pink shades, including (natch) Electric Pink. Jojoba oil and shea butter give it a purported eight hours of moisturizing capabilities. That claim seems exaggerated, methinks, unless these people expect me to go eight hours without drinking coffee or eating peanut butter pretzels, which -- let's face it -- never happens.
Balm Pop is on the more opaque end of the tinted balm spectrum, and while I usually prefer sheerer formulas, I've been adding Electric Pink to my beauty routine and enjoying it. Who knows? I may even work up to Carthage.
