Review: Cover Girl Incredifull Lipstick

I’ve added two other pictures: color 912 and lips with a mix of the two colors 912 and 928.

Incredifull is Cover Girl’s foray into the lip plumping game. And this is my experience with Incredifull (love that clever name!) lipstick.

928
I love this color! The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s a color that makes you feel good.

My problem
I probably wore this color every day for a year. Not all day. I used other lipstick brands during the day too.

But eventually I realized that my lips were sore. And for close to a year nothing really cleared them up, and every lipstick and balm hurt, until I remembered my Guerlain Lip Lift. It is a magic product that I’ve talked about before. Liplift fixed the problem with one application. I now have one in my purse and in the bathroom. Almost instantly, I could wear any brand of lipstick again without any problem, but I hadn’t tried the CG one again until the day I took this picture.

Does it really plump the lips?
I’m not sure any lip plumpers really plump the lips — and not for long, but it has a pleasant-enough sting. Is that an oxymoron?

Do I recommend it?
I really like this color lipstick
If you are looking for a lip plumper: If you are not sensitive, and if you don’t wear it all the time until you see how you do, and if you are careful to be aware of your own lips, you should try this.

It has good staying power, doesn’t migrate. And good color selections, though this is the only one I bought until I recently bought color 912, thinking I’m ready to start wearing it again, but cautiously.

912
This is a very pretty, soft apricot pink. I figured I could wear it for less dramatic lipstick, and also as one that would mix nicely with others.
Photobucket

Lips: CG 912+928 + Stila Silver Mix
First: Guerlain liplift primer and conditioner and all round magic product
912 and 928 are plumping colors
1/2 and 1/2 each color, one on each lip, smooshed; then Stila-Silver Mix gloss when some of the lippie was gone to refresh it… I made sure I used Liplift before these colors. I never felt the product sting my lips.

FOTD Lime and amethyst eyes

I wore these shadow colors yesterday, because I was wearing a wonderful lime green skirt with amethyst accents. I liked it so well, I wanted to wear the colors again, and since I didn’t take pictures yesterday, I thought I’d show you the idea today. It’s wonderful the number of looks and combinations you can get from several colors of shadows.

Eyes: Arbonne shadows
Base: Nude Frost
Lids: Lime in new shape
Inner corners: light pink
(ballet)
Lined top and lower: Clarins Midnight Flash pencil
Drylined top and lower: Arbonne medium amethyst color
Mascara top: Arbonne, 2 in 1; Tarte lower
Brows: La Prairie pencil
Concealer: YSL eclat
Nose: MAC concealer

Photobucket

Primer: Guerlain meteorites
Foundation: Clinique Even Better
in Fair — this is a tad dark on me, but when finished it looks fine — I like the formula a lot.
Rouge: Chanel stick under my sparkly mix powder
Blush over powder: Arbonne Promise
Highlight: Arbonne
very light pink
Bronzer: Guerlain meteorites powder #3 (this is not a bronzer but it works as a bronzer on me)

Photobucket

Lips:
First, Fyrinnae Visual Kei
alone, then this picture was taken after some of it was gone — over the top I put SCA Hyaluronic — it was pretty together!

LOTD Arbonne Prep and Plump Gleam + MAC liner

Lips:
Prep and Plump Gleam
This is a new lip color for me. I just love it! It has the most gorgeous sparkle in it — on a par with, or better than, MAC or Too Faced sparkly glosses. It is a two step product. One end of the wand has a cream in it. The other has the gloss. There is no sting to the product. It is moisturizing and just simply feels good. I dunno if it looks particularly plumped or not. I just like the sparkle!

Application Technique in the order of application:
First, applied both sides of the Prep and Plump
color.

Arbonne Gleam alone:
I think this is so pretty by itself!
Photobucket

Lined outer edges and outer corners: MAC Whirl pencil
This is a pretty color and fairly neutral.
Rimmed outer edges and re-applied center with Gleam. I wanted to soften and modernize the pencil look, but I didn’t want to use another gloss as I just loved this one.

You can see how much it changes with a little pencil. It makes it more ‘finished’ and defined looking, but it does change the color.

Photobucket

Here’s what it looks like full face:

Do you like it with or without the lip pencil?

To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don’t have a representative, just ask.

LOTD Too Faced with Beauté technique

You can see more about these Too Faced glosses here. I updated it with a picture now of this color combination.

And here is where I talk about the technique in detail.

Mermaid using Pink Bling on rim
I love, love, love this technique. I used Guerlain Lip Lift to block out any stain on my lips so this would be a fairly true picture.

Photobucket

Here’s another view:

This shows the degree of sparkle:

Photobucket

Have you tried this technique yet? I love it!
Honestly, my lips look like I’ve had something done to them.

Here’s what I like about the technique
It’s easy, and it works. It camouflages my lipline in a soft, natural, updated way. It works better than a pencil for doing that.

It used to be that I would do my lipstick on the bottom inside the outer ridge. (Book Girl has this ridge too.) But in later years, it didn’t look as good doing it that way, and thanks to my dad for both my lips and the lines around them, I still miss him! — this works much better and looks the way I prefer to look.

FOTD AL eyes, created black lippie

Whoo hooo! What a fun look!

Black lippie was dark for daytime until I finished the look, but I knew what I was aiming for.

Photobucket

Very Simple Eye, but dramatic color
Base: Beauticontrol Shadow Contour Cream Pink, followed by my sparkly beige
Crease, outer corners, drylined top and lower: AL Grape pure eyes matte. Love, love, love this color, even if it is matte.
Lined Lower: Clarins Midnight Flash, wish it were still available!
Tightlined Top: Avon Cosmic Brown Glimmerstick, great color
Mascara: Mary Kary Ultimate Mascara Black

Photobucket

Primer: Revlon (clear)
Foundation: Chanel Discontinued on one side; new on the other
Cream Rouge: Mary Kay Over foundation, under powder
Powder: AL sparkle twilight supernatural powder
This was a very sheer, sheeny look, not a glimmer look. My own mix is more sparkly. This is the first one I’ve tried in this set of three. But I had to wear it. After all, Twilight came out at midnight Friday night, and we were there.

I will review the 3 as I wear them.
Blush: AL breathless Rocks! sonic rouge

FOTD Meow Eyes, AL blush, Milani lip gloss

Trying out Meow eyes again today, but different colors.

Used my new fiber optic AL brush again. Love this brush. Get one! I will do a review in the next few days. I used it for everything except the outer corners. It makes application a snap!

In the order of application:
Base: Avon light purple cream; my golden beige sparkle
Crease: IdealEyes Anti-Social Purrl
Outer corners: VandalEyes Pole Dancing
Inner corners: ScandalEyes Nicole S (I used this yesterday too).
Mascara top: compared two Guerlains; the one is the dual ended one.

This is a pretty container:

Lined bottom MAC: graphblack in waterline; earthline below it.
Mascara lower: the tiny brush for lower lashes from the dual ended.
Drylined: ScandalEyes Feral
Brows: Clinique pencil

Photobucket

Cheeks:
AL Breathless rocks sonic rouge (great color)
Using a fiber optic brush — I took about 3 grains; 2 would have been enough.

Later I updated my lips with Cover Girl Incredifull lipstick (see my review tomorrow.)

Cover Girl Incredifull 928

Primer(s)
Today I used Guerlain Meteorites Perles Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer

over a bit of Smashbox primer, under Chanel foundation. The Guerlain is wonderful for correcting a foundation that needs a little help. The Chanel alone is a bit yellow. I wish I could still get the foundation that they discontinued. That color was perfect!

And, of course, my mix of glimmer powder over the foundation. You can find the recipe under Savvy Thinker quick find or here.
