Hey Everyone!

Let me proceed to give you what you need!!


 I was sent five of the eight the Glamazon Pure Performance 12 hour lipsticks( from left to right):

 Swatched on my hand (left to right):

Wearing Bold...


Pros:
-The colors are gorgeous, highly pigmented, true to the swatch. No holds barred. You are getting full on color with the first swipe!
-The packaging is cute!
-Even though they are "long wearing" they are not drying at all.
-They have a stain( especially the darker ones) but it comes off easy.
-works well with glosses and lip liners and never loses its color of consistency when topped with them
-the longevity is great. I don't know if its 12 hrs, I didn't try and see, lol, but its definitely in the 5-6 hour range with losing a bit of color when eating.


Cons:
-The price point is $26. $26 is too much, maybe $13, which is half the cost. I would even spend $15, but not a dime over $20. Nope.
-One of the sticks broke in the tube, which leads me to think that the packaging is cute but not effective. The tube itself could be a little shorter to prevent the lippie from breaking. But I see the point of the packaging, it really stands out in my lipstick collection.


Consensus:

I would suggest grabbing at least Inspired and Fierce. Inspired is a wearable color for a lot of skin tones and Fierce is the perfect red. Wild is gorgeous for cool skin tone gals looking for your red. Bold and Whimsy are fun and definitely for collectors of bold pink must haves!


What do you think? Thinking about grabbing couple of Pure Performance lippies? Let me know!!
