I don’t think I’ve ever talked about why my YouTube and blog name is crystalis007. It’s a simple and boring reason really. I have always felt secret agent-like looking for swatches and pictures of the makeup products I’m interested in. I Google everything and I don’t give up. I will find a useful swatch/pic on page ten of a Google search if need be! I’m all about research….
So of course I love the Balm Girls lipstick collection. It’s a line of six pretty girl agent friendly shades ($17 each) and Mia Moore is the rich creamy red that I’ve been testing out for a few weeks now. Take a look!
I love this shade. It’s not one of those annoying red lipsticks you have to babysit either. I get 4-5 hours of wear and it wears off or down pretty. I hate looking like a train wreck because my red lipstick fades badly. I don’t look in the mirror a lot so that matters ha! I didn’t use liner with this and didn’t need it really. I’d call this one of the most low maintenance red’s in my stash. And I have a lot of RED’s:)
Check this out along with the other five colors at the Balm’s website. I know that I focus a lot of my attention on the Balm’s amazing shadows but their lipsticks are just as interesting! Who knew!?

This is very pretty. Lol at the google searching, I do the same thing. I don’t buy something without researching first. I google everything!

I feel like I spend most of my day on Google glad I’m not alone!

I wish I had this lipstick for next week. I need a low maintenance red lipstick for next week. I’m participating in Zumbaween and my outfit requires sexy red lips. Do you have any drugstore recommendations?
crystalis007 says
Sure! I did a post on some of my favorite red lipsticks and the drugstore ones are in pink. Fav’s are Maybelline Very Cherry and Black Radiance Reggae Red.
