Sephora Cream Lip Stain | Swatches on Dark Skin

I love a bold matte lip and I’m lowkey embarrassed to admit I was late to the party with these 🔥 Sephora cream lip stains. I first learned about them from Holly (IG: @itsholly) and started off with shades 01 and 94, before diving off the deep end and adding a bunch more. These retail for $15 and have a wonderful formula (I always exfoliate before wearing matte shades and my lips never feel dry), pigmentation (colors are ☀️af), and don’t transfer. 

Due to the pandemic I couldn’t see these irl at a store before buying, and had to look for online reviews, swatches, and pray they looked good in person. The shades are all amazing. Y’all know I love red... but I especially LOVED “Dark Forest” -- it’s like a vampy Mother Earth type of vibe.

Watch below to see swatches of my Sephora cream lip stains 💋 in colors: 

01 Always Red 

94 Cherry Moon 

95 Electric Ruby 

96 Red Velvet

Sephora Holiday Haul + Healthy Hair Update (video)

When I got to the register the lady asked if I was doing holiday shopping for anyone in particular. I said yes, myself! Ha!

I might sound cynical, but I don't really believe in having to shower others with gifts during Christmas, nor do I believe in sitting back and getting showered with gifts. My rationale? We're all working adults and usually just buy for ourselves what we want. I'm also a sentimental person and don't need one day out of the year to get someone a gift. I'm more so the type to grab something randomly because I was thinking about you or I saw it and knew you'd love it.

With that said, when I got home I was still high on endorphins and decided to film a quick haul video. I don't usually do hauls, well... I don't normally ball out in stores, thus there aren't many hauls in my life in general. It's a bit lengthy, but feel free to take a look at the things I snagged.
