CoverGirl Enthrall Charme Colorlicious Lipstick Review

Hola bonita chica’s!

I have really dry lips and am really bad with moisturizing them regularly and using lip balm. I either just slather it on every 15 minutes when I remember or forget to apply it all day. I have recently started using a lip scrub every morning on my lips and I can definitely say that it has helped with my flaky dry lips over the last few weeks so if you have a similar problem I do suggest you trying this out for you as well. Anyway now that we all have soft smooth lips let us get on to this review! I have for you another impulse buy, a lipstick that I picked up from Covergirl.

I picked this lipstick up on a whim because it was lying near the check out desk and I thought it looked interesting. This lipstick is shaped square and is colour coded on the base. The lid closes securely and the entire packaging is made of plastic. The bullet looks like any regular lipstick and there is nothing really special actually with the packaging.

Price
USD 6.99 but the Covergirl website itself says that prices may vary. I think this is due to the different tax that each state in the US has. This lipstick is 3.5 grams or 0.12 oz.

My experience with the Covergirl Enthrall Charme Colorlicious Lipstick :

First of all, I need to stop buying cosmetics on an impulse. I do not know what comes over me but if anyone has a treatment for it please do let me know!

Colour: I bought this lipstick because the base part of it that is colour coded looked like a nude brown and I love my nude browns. I use them all the time and that is my go to lip colour. Secondly sometimes I discover that lipsticks have a little secret lips gloss on the base and that is what this looked like so I thought what the hell, let me just buy it because it is fairly cheap too. (I remember buying it on discount because I had a $2 coupon for Covergirl cosmetics). But unfortunately for me when I opened this lipstick, it looked more like mix of maroon and brown and I was really disappointed that there were no swatches to try out before I had bought this so I had ended up with something that was not a nude brown. My disappointment doubled further when on swatching this I realised that this shade is actually a red. Do not ask me how this happened but obviously the colour coding on the base of this lipstick is basically false. So what I thought to be a nude turned out to be a red. Just for this reason this lipstick has been sitting at the bottom of my makeup bag for the last few weeks and I have seldom used it!

Finish: This bright red shade looks like a pearlised finish on the bullet but actually it applies rather sheer in one swipe. If I could compare it with something I would liken it to the ‘Lustre’ finish that MAC has in some of its lipsticks. Like a lustre, metallic finish. Also this lipstick kind of applies like or rather looks like a lip gloss after it is applied, but a very opaque lip gloss. I actually use this shade by blotting it once I have applied it and finishing that with a dust of talcum powder so somewhat of a lip ‘stain’ remains and I prefer the look that gives when compared with the actually lipstick.

Pigmentation: In one swipe this is gives an extremely sheer and lip gloss effect. The colour is buildable and the colour pay off increases after a few swipes after which it starts pigmenting pretty red! It also has a slight metallic sheen to it which is noticeable with every swipe.

Longevity: This shade really lasts a long time and it does transfer but as it leaves your lips it fades away gently to leave a reddish pink stain on your lips. Personally I do not like this shade because I feel like the red pulls down my skin tone to a darker colour. It has grown on me though because it is a pretty cool lipstick so I could see myself wearing this in the wintertime with just a nude look on the rest of my face.

Texture: Although I was really disappointed with this lipstick initially because I felt major dhokha on the part of Covergirl for colour coding a bright red lipstick brown, I have to say the lipstick itself is not bad. It applies very smoothly and this is a very creamy consistency lipstick. This makes the lipstick really moisturising and for a girl like me with terribly dry lips, this is always a welcome feature.

Performance: This lipstick has no chemical smell to it. It does not settle in fine lines or bleed. It wears literally like a lip gloss as you apply and you need to be precise in your application. It has not feathered during the brief times I have used it. It has not created or accentuated any dry spots on my lips. Overall, its performance has been pretty good!

Would I repurchase the Covergirl Enthrall Charme Colorlicious Lipstick?
No, because this is not my kind of red! . I prefer a matte red!

Would I recommend the Covergirl Enthrall Charme Colorlicious Lipstick?
I would suggest swatching all Covergirl lipsticks before you buy, but apart from that this lipstick has a good performance so I can recommend it. The shade is just not my favourite red though.

IMBB Rating:
3/5 because I was super disappointed with the colour coding!
