Here’s the deal with me and lipstick … I have never found a lipstick I use alone. Meaning that EVERY time I put on lipstick I always apply some type of shimmer lipstick or lipgloss over it.
I could never understand why makeup companies didn’t make a stick that had matte and shimmer all in one stick.
As a mom of three, the last thing I want to have to carry in my diaper bag is TWO lipsticks. Listen, I barely have enough space between my diapers and my Cheez-its to fit anything that makes me pretty. Let alone two of them.
In walks COVERGIRLÆ Blast Flipstick Lipcolor.
FINALLY, someone gets it! Literally this has been the lipstick I have been in need of for a long, long time.
One end is matte lipcolor. One end is shimmer lipcolor.
Genius {in my humble opinion}.
I really like how the colors are just slightly different. One is a little darker than the other. I layered the more matte color underneath the shimmer color and … LOVE!
Another thing that I like about it? The price point. I can be so frugal when it comes to home decor and fashion so why not carry that attitude over into my makeup habits? Especially when I’m shopping lipstick.
For $7.99 I could buy two different colors of the Blast Flipstick and not feel guilty. Heck, I could buy four and still not be broke.
The color I went with is called Whisper. I tend to go with more pink tones when I buy lipcolor because I like how it looks with my skin tone.
I have tried the reds and the peachy-oranges and the deep deep browns, but I keep going back to my pinks. I personally like a more natural look when it comes to my lips and this color really made me happy.
It gave me just enough color to not look “blah” but not enough to look “WHOA”.
I will admit the hubby likes me in red lipcolor. I don’t see it. I personally think I look “over done”, but I may just bust out of my comfort zone and surprise him with some bright lips soon. We’ll see.

I love pink with a little brown undertone — and for sure with SHIMMER!!! I’m going to buy some of CG Blast Flipstick STAT—thanks for the review (and awesome give away!)
I love all shades of mauve because it goes well with my coloring and is always enhancing.

After reading this post I got one at CVS in the same color and I love it! It’s very flattering and I like layering the colors. I might grab another shade next time I’m out!
I love pink with a little beige undertone. I like to look natural!
Pink! Definitely pink! 🙂
I don’t wear lipstick, but I do like a little lip gloss. If I have any color, I want it to be very natural tones.
Light pink with some shimmer in it……My skin is very fair…Anything darker than a light pink or rose…looks awful (lol)….
I love pink lipstick! I think it works best with my skin color, and it’s not too much! 🙂 I’m going out to buy this lipstick today! Looks perfect!
I’m with you – light pink with a little sparkle for fun. I can’t wait to try this new lipstick!
I’m more of a lip gloss girl and like the neutral tones or an understated pink.
I usually go with a soft pink/slightly neutral or else with my fair skin my lips look too conspicuous.

I have more of brown undertone so I tend to choose lipstick or lipgloss with brown tint such as Smooch, Snap or Stunner .. I like Minx too .. oh well, actually I like them all but I shy away from red or very pink. Love this product! Thank you for such a fun giveaway.
I love barely there colors. I’m always afraid I’ll end up with it on my teeth if I wear a bright, bold color.
I love pink in the winter and in the summer I tend to go with a more peachy. I seriously can not wait to try this product. 🙂
I need a new go-to lipstick! I tend to stay more neutral/nude, just enough color to feel ‘put together’, I dont like the feeling of naked lips anymore!
I love a deep pink color with some shimmer. I am pretty simplistic with my makeup so a pretty lip color and some mascara are quick and easy.
I like nude color, it’s easier to match and use.

I like different shades of plum, it goes well with my olive skin and matches just about any outfit I wear.

I like light pink colors. I think it looks good on me.
My favorite is either pink (like the color of your lips in this post) or even a shade slightly off from the normal lip color. Both these make my eyes stand out when I wear black eye liner! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

My favorite color lipstick is pink. I think it matches my skin tone the best and not too sharp.

I like taupe colors the best.
I’m a redhead, so the brown tones work nicely for me.

I usually carry a neutral taupe tone because it goes with anything. When my outfit allows I like a peachy coral color.

I look best in a rosy red shade.
My favorite color of lipstick is a light pink, something that sets my lips off but doesn’t go over board. sweepmorey at gmail dot com
I like light pink because it looks the best with my fair skin.
Two colors in one would be great – I’m a no fusser, so this would declutter my purse some!
When I wear lipstick, I’m definitely a pink person – I like the sublety
