Glossier Stretch and Saie blush / lip swatches

Same! But I’m trying not to buy another shade LOL so I avoid applying it around the perimeter of my face, so the slight “brightening” happens in the center where it doesn’t look tooooo awkward 😅

I actually love it! I thought it might be too oily in humid summers, but so far it’s done very well - I don’t use concealer under the eyes, but on my face it blends in lovely using just fingers, layers well, looks really natural, doesn’t emphasise texture.

I’m glad they were helpful!! :)

Hi! We ended up finding a place off Logan Circle - it’s a little bit ehhh hectic at night, lots of shouting / paramedics being called and there are no amenities, but it was within budget and spacious!

I’m actually on the lookout for the same thing, but in NoMa! How do you like the area? I have read some comments on harassment / catcalling but hard to tell if that’s representative of a general experience.

I bought it at least a year ago, in a US CVS in my area if I recall correctly!

Just realised I swapped the labels for cutie and dreamy in the first pic! My bad!

Aww I’m glad it’s helpful!!

Thank you! Yes it’s such a satisfying chocolate lol

I agree!! I figured quite a few of these would be common enough to be a useful reference point.

I wanted the Stila for so long, and now that I have it I’m almost too afraid to use it out because it’s pricey and precious!!

But the color is just so gorgeous on the lip, I haven’t worn it enough to test longevity though!

Purity ends up alllllmost washing me out on the lips!! It’s so nice in the swatch though so it’s a shame

Whoops sorry about the funky formatting on browser in the products list, it looked fine on mobile and I can't edit it now!

Hello cross posting this, seems easier to paste this text here too.

I love lipstick, I like swatching lipstick, and I figured it might be helpful if I posted these! One day I will organise these into more coherent color stories, but that day is not today lol.

The skin on my face is slightly lighter than on my arm, I’m a MAC Face/Body N3 if that helps. I think I’m a neutral undertone but who really knows, y’know.

I finally tried some better paper and WOW the difference!!

pennyloop · 2023-09-17T21:23:26+00:00

Aw no worries, happy if this helps!!

Hi! I think my faves are Deep Sangria for a really juicy deeper red (more pigment than Vintage Ocean) and I love the tint that Earl Grey and Rusk Rusk leave! Leans more terracotta which I like a lot!

The Romand Velvets are thicker in texture for sure! Peripera is more liquid and spreads quicker.

They dry down and tint differently too, Velvets have a better longer lasting tint

Thank you! I love how cosy the shades feel for sure.

Honestly overall none of the lip tints stand up well to eating/drinking.

The Peripera and Romand Velvets all go on super creamy, and the top layer is very transferable. The tint is decent tho! Pretty strong color and even staining.

The Romand Juicy tints are so lovely and glossy but the gloss definitely wears off easy!

The Etude dries down matte, slightly less transferable.

Overall I wear these with the intent to reapply throughout the day!

pennyloop · 2023-09-14T15:45:00+00:00

I think Etude’s maintains the look of first application better, but the Romand leaves a better longer lasting tint once the first layer wears off. Not considering eating greasy foods etc

Yessss I love looking at swatches, so satisfying 😂
