Sponsored: COVERGIRL LipPerfection Fashion Week 7 Day Challenge Follow-Up.

Have you been following my COVERGIRL LipPerfection 7 Day Challenge? If not, let me bring you up to date.

As I was getting ready to head to New York City to cover Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, I was approached by COVERGIRL to take their new capsule LipPerfection Runway Collection for a test over the 7 days of Fashion Week. Of course, I jumped at the chance. Who doesn't want to try a new lipstick, or, seven new lipsticks? I was given 16 of them to try and these are the seven that I tested:

Sultry twitpic.com/6hxv6p
Delish twitpic.com/6ieo30
Fairytale twitpic.com/6iy5mt
Flame twitpic.com/6jirwr
Hot twitpic.com/6jxaxl
Temptation twitpic.com/6khkry
Divine twitpic.com/6kto74

I will still be trying more colors as out of all 44 shades, I think that Pat McGrath, Global Creative Design Director for COVERGIRL, did a phenomenal time in selecting these 16 fashion forward shades.

Not only have my lips looked perfect, but they feel perfect - as in better than ever. Let's just say that by wearing only these lipsticks over the last week, my lips are totally soft. Totally smooth. I have had not experienced any dryness form wearing such a highly pigmented lip color all the time, which is a wonderful surprise. You know how many of the high pigmented, long lasting lipsticks dry lips out? Not these. As each LipPerfection lipcolor is infused with a Silk Moisturizing Complex, my lips are feeling, as I said, perfect.

The Silk Moisturizing complex contains a combination of ingredients that work together to improve the condition of lips as you are wearing. Made up of an olive oil based emollient to provide active moisturization, lips are hydrated as you wear it. This also contains shea and avocado butter along with aloe to provide the perfect slip and just enough shine, along with a silk protein that finishes off the wonderful feel of the lipstick. They also borrowed White Tea from their Olay brand, which is very popular in anti-aging products, to help in the overall appearance of the lips.

Do this. Think of you favorite lip balm. Add in a beautiful, long lasting, highly pigmented lip color. LipPerfection is what that is. For $6.50 and easy availability, you cannot go wrong with LipPerfection. Look for them the next time you are at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer and be amazed.

As I am getting ready to head out the door to cover a few shows backstage at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, I wanted to let you know about a fun challenge I am doing with COVERGIRL.

I have told you about their beautiful LipPerfection line up of lipsticks before, but I plan to get a better look and feel while testing out 7 different shades over the next week of Fashion Week.

LipPerfection in Coquette

You see, LipPerfection lipcolor ($6.50) has been a favorite of Global Creative Design Director Pat McGrath since its launch last year. The entire collection is made up of 44 beautiful shades. This season, 16 of most fashion forward shades have been plucked from the COVERGIRL LipPerfection Collection by Pat herself as a capsule “Runway Collection.” 

I will be testing out seven of these shades over the next week. Be sure to follow me over on Twitter @BeautyBlogger where I will be posting a picture of the lipcolor each day. Today's Fashion Week lip is in the color Sultry.

As all of the LipPerfection lipcolors are made with silk moisturizers, COVERGIRL says that these runway faves will smooth and improve my lips over 7 days. Stay tuned to see what I thought about the collection next week, after solely using LipPerfection for 7 days.  I will also give you a more in depth look at all of the 16 "Runway Collection" shades then too.

For now, here are the names of the shades that were selected from the entire line up of colors.

  • Darling
  • Fairytale
  • Divine
  • Tempt
  • Euphoria
  • Embrace
  • Hot
  • Flame
  • Delish
  • Fervor
  • Sultry
  • Enamor
  • Coquette
  • Spellbound
  • Heavenly

I hope to have softer lips while discovering even more great lippies to love.

COVERGIRL Lash Perfection Mascara.

/

COVERGIRL has been hitting it out of the park with their mascara over the last few years. Let's see. There has been Eye Lights, LashBlast, LashBlast Length and NatureLuxe Mousse.  Dare I say they have a grand slam with their latest Lash Perfection? Seriously, I was amazed upon first application and I swear I love it more and more each time I use it.

You see, I had just opened one of my favorite high-end brands of mascara. I purchased it, for $30 I might add, and used it just once. What a waste. I thought I loved it, but really, it doesn't compare to how easily my lashes are "larger than life" with Lash Perfection ($5.99).

Let's take a look at why Lash Perfection is my latest go-to mascara.

You see, Lash Perfection was "specially designed to lengthen and lift your lashes for a lightweight, voluminous look - the lash wrap brush perfectly wraps each lash with volume."

The Formula

  • This conditioning formula, with vitamins, coats the lashes, covering them from root to tip
  • This lightweight formula provides luxurious volume that helps keep lashes feeling soft and lifted
  • With a special blend of conditioning agents, the formula provides smooth application  

The Brush 

  • The magic is in the bristles of this innovative brush structure!  Each bristle contains tiny micro-chambers, or grooves, that instantly surround each lash, hugging and coating them each  individually
  • Bristles are precisely molded to contain micro-chambers that instantly wrap your lashes 360 degrees, allowing more formula to coat every lash

The formula is so flexible, looks almost glossy, but never smears, flakes or clumps. Ever. The bristles lift my lashes for precise, controlled application that had never left me with a smudge or smear, even when in a hurry. One coat and my lashes are nearly perfect and that is all I use on a daily basis. If I am heading out at night or want a more bold look, I might add a second coat on later in the day, but one coat is totally wearable. I need to add that if I do opt for a second coat later on in the day, this coat glides on like a breeze, even with the first coat being set for hours and hours. Miraculous!

I have been using Black Brown for everyday, but can't wait to break out the Black as we move more into fall and Very Black for special occassions. At the low price of just $5.99 a tube, there is no reason to not have a few different shades on hand. Choose from Very Black, Black, Brown Black or Brown.

Look for Lash Perfection now at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer.
