“It was an honor just to be nominated” is the shallow thanks that most losing contestants falsely claim. But truthfully, I was so honored when Make Up For Ever asked me to participate in their Rouge Artiste lip-look contest… my feelings weren’t remotely hurt when my stripy-80s homage lip creation placed in the bottom-half of the 8 lovely looks. I had SO MUCH fun creating my contest entry!
Given that I already felt like a winner, you can imagine my surprise when Make Up For Ever sent me an amazing little train case filled with product to “thank” me for participating in the event. THANK ME? I still feel like I should be thanking THEM!
Anywho, the loverly team at Make Up For Ever passed along the most delicious Aqua Creams for me to play with. Swatched above, for your viewing pleasure are 13, 5 and 15 (from left to right). Together, they appear to be a Neapolitan Ice Cream color combination, no?
Aqua Cream is a whipped-creamy concoction that delivers rich, blendable color that also happens to be waterproof! Some shades have a cheek/lip dual use, and others are intended for cheeks and eyes. I immediately loved shade 5 on the cheeks. The peachy pink color is so youthful and dewy, without being overly shiny. 13 and 15 paired together create an intense naked eye, but my personal preference is to use 13 as a highlighter on the cheeks, and 15 as a quickie lid shade.
Retail price is $22 per pot.
The more I sample from this brand… the more I adore it.
