You Probably Don't Need All of These #2

Left - MAC Lipstick (Hue)
Right - Covergirl Lipslicks Smoochies Lip Balm (#day glow)

My bare lips

This one definitely came as a surprise. They don't look anything alike in the tube, or swatched on the skin. But they are IDENTICAL on the lips. They are both fairly glossy, and have the same wear time.

If I had to choose one, I'd choose #day glow, just based on the fact that it is cheaper and more accessible to me. Because they literally look exactly the same on my lips.

You Probably Don't Need All of These #1

Here's a little introduction to this new series!

Left - Nyx High Voltage Lipstick (Tan-gerine)
Right - Nyx Round Case Lipstick (Orange Soda)

So, as you can see, Orange Soda is a little bit brighter than Tan-gerine. Orange Soda is also a little more opaque and thick in consistency. They both are fairly glossy, and have the same wear time.

If I had to choose one, I would choose Tan-gerine. Even though it is more expensive, and you get less product. It doesn't make my tooth look as yellow as Orange Soda does, and is more wearable for my skin tone, and meshes better with more eye makeup looks.
