Sugar Lips is a soft Barbie pink.
Berrylicious is a pinky-purple berry with a matte finish.
Love Bite is a deep pinky-red. I was hoping for dark wine red, it's quite pink-toned.
Sportsgirl lipsticks have great pigmentation and are fairly long-lasting. However, the formula is very unforgiving of any flakiness, and is not moisturising (especially the matte shades), so I recommend exfoliation and lip balm before application. They do stain a little bit which contributes to the colour longevity - and means that dry-lipped people can wear them blotted and topped with gloss for a more lip-friendly solution.
Bonus swatch: Bombshell, the first Sportsgirl lipstick I ever bought. I thought I'd already reviewed this, but apparently not! This has a sticker on the base instead of print, and it has a much creamier, more forgiving formula than Berrylicious.
Bombshell is a vivid, matte red.
Packaging is a simple black plastic case, with a plastic 'colour well' on the bottom to make shade identification easy. They close fairly tightly, with a nice 'click', which I like. The colour range changes very often, so if you see a shade you like, I suggest grabbing it ASAP. You can get these lipsticks from Sportsgirl stores, or their website, for $9.95 each.
For a brand that started off exclusively doing clothing, Sportsgirl have put out some fairly impressive (and reasonably priced!) cosmetics. Aside from these lipsticks, I own a bronzer, sunscreen and some nail polish produced by Sportsgirl. Jerry swears by their lip gloss.
Oooh Bombshell looks absolutely beautiful! I love matte lipsticks anyway and that one looks really creamy and nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's the best matte formula I've ever put on my lips, that's for sure!
DeleteI think the worst things about these is that they bleed all over the lines of your mouth and crease like a bitch.
ReplyDeleteReally? Huh, I wore Love Bite for about 8 hours today and didn't get any bleeding or creasing at all.
DeletePretty colours!
