Envy, Wrath, Greed |
Envy is deep teal.
So...I've been working up my nerve and...well...look at me! Wearing full-face makeup and showing my whole face on the blog! Been ages, hasn't it? I think I was green last time you saw me. This time it's just my lips.
I adore Envy in spite of its application issues and I will absolutely wear it "for real" sometime...but with a less silvery eye. Maybe something greenish? My lids are entirely the left side of the Wet n Wild Blue Had Me At Hello over their Take On The Day primer, with a CoverGirl black liner (which doesn't wear all that well but also doesn't irritate my sensitive, panicky eyes) and Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex mascara.
...I don't know how to have a face, by the way. I need to work on it. I tend to look miserable, angry, stoned, sarcastic or annoyed. Of these, I think annoyed is the most flattering, no?
It's a bit darker in person, but Greed is this blue. The formula's waxy and draggy like Envy, but I feel like it's a bit easier to apply and barely patchy at all. The only issue I had was it just would not stick to the inner side of my lower lip. I'll be wearing it over a lip pencil, for sure.
On a semi-related note...do other bloggers ever get as tired of taking face photos as I do? *sigh*

I'm so yellow-toned that I pull Wrath really blue. I've seen photos of it looking grayer on others. While it's still not as smooth as the NYX Macarons, Wrath has by far the best formula of these three shades. It went on pretty easily and very evenly. I also looks better on me than I'd even hoped. I was pleasantly surprised!
I think I'd wear exactly this combination of lip and eye again.
No "bottom line" this time, since these aren't easily available. An Instagram buddy with a private account got email confirmation that these will be up on the LASplash website again at some point, but no hint of when. If you're after them, stalk their Instagram account. They've announced the sales there before. Were they worth the two-ish fairly stressful hours I spent making sure I'd get them? I'd have to say yes. They're kinda crayony and feel like shades like this did back when I was in school, but they're also decidedly awesome...and waaaay less expensive than Melt's offerings.
Also, if you haven't heard already, NYX looks to be coming out with a batch of bolder colored "Lippies" in the undetermined future. I'm giddy! I wound up with only five of the Macaron shades because light colors aren't my thing, but these...I might need all of them.
I think the first is my favorite. And I hadn't heard about those bold NYX ones, that's so exciting! I need that deep blurple one at the end.
