BE Quickie Review- Pretty Amazing Lip Color in Rouge

This is my first Quickie Review!! I chose the new lipcolor line from BE because I'm obsessed with lip colors. Working on the plane my lips get so dried out and I am constantly trying new things. I want to love love love Buxom, but they BURN BURN BURN my lips! Ive tried wearing colors underneath but it doesn't help. I feel like my lips are on fire. I've tried all of the various BE lip choices and haven't found one that lasts. I tried LipSense (Christina Aguilera wears it) but my lips got all sticky and gooey and you have to keep reapplying the top coat. Tried Burts Bees, but it doesn't last either. 


The description for Pretty Amazing Rouge (which comes in the first installment of the BE kit The Perfect Gift) is:


Our cool lipcolor looks like a high shine, hydrating gloss, yet defines and enhances lips like a lipcolor.  Intense, rich pigments in this brick rose shade are painted on instantly, wrapping lips in a lacquered velveteen finish so they appear smoother and naturally voluminous.  The special cushioning wand effortlessly lines, defines and enhances lips, holding and depositing the perfect amount of color in just one swipe. 


First off- let me just say that this is pretty amazing, but also, pretty dark! I'm used to wearing lighter shades of pink and sometimes nude or even clear gloss. Rouge was like BAM! IN YOUR FACE!!! It took me a minute to get used to it. The wand was kind of weird at first- and a little bit went a long way!!! 

I like the feel of it- it's not goopy or sticky like glosses can be. I won't worry about my hair getting stuck in it, lol. I did use a bit too much, I'm guessing, because for the first hour I had to keep removing it from my teeth (even though I did the Cindy Crawford trick of putting my fingers in my mouth and pulling them out with the excess lipcolor on them). 

I did the Jeanette test- eating lunch and letting a few hours go by without reapplying to see if the color would stay- and it did!!!! Usually if I drink coffee or eat, my lip color goes away. Not Pretty Amazing! The pictures below were taken 4 hours after I applied it, and after I'd eaten lunch. 

Looks just as great as when I first applied it. No retouch! Yes!!! Can't wait to take it with me to work- I wont have to apply my landing lips because they'll still be on! THANK YOU LESLIE AND BE!!!! I will be purchasing ALL of the colors in the Pretty Amazing line if you decide to make more. AND PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!
