Hello my pretty!
I discovered her hiding under a pile of soaps at my local T.K. Maxx… let me introduce you to “Bubble Pink” as we shall call her from now on.
Seriously, have you ever seen a more outrageously girly lipstick in your life?
I know… that’s almost indecent. Glitter bomb on a stick. A pink stick.
This really shouldn’t work for anyone over the age of 7. And it definitely shouldn’t work for a lady knocking on the door of 30 (by ‘knocking’ I mean ‘ungracefully sprinting in the opposite direction of’).
So does it work?
Ohhhhh yes.
The topmost layer of glitter is an overspray… after the first application it’s a lot more subtle as you can see above. The pink is a beautiful soft bubblegum pink which is neither too warm, nor too cool. The shimmer (whilst apparent) doesn’t overpower nor look frosty. It’s just ‘glitters’.
I was most taken aback by the texture… yes, there’s a teeny bit of gritiness… but nothing compared to what I expected considering how packed full of sparkle it is. I find it actually quite moisturising and my teeth aren’t set on edge every time I press my lips together.
Whilst wearing this, be sure to kiss lots of people for whom glitter prints would be highly inappropriate.
I want to be buried wearing this lipstick.
And if you think it’s too shimmery for me… I can’t hear you *la la la laalalala*.
Lovely suits u so well. Xx
I agree. This shade looks great on you!
I’m 19 and shimmery glosses often make me look a little juvenile but this post makes me want to try out those shimmers that are buried under the drawer again.
I think that’s the loveliest shade on you, suits you down to a tee. I wish it was easier to find Helena Rubenstein over here.
This is the most divine looking lipstick I have ever seen! I just want it to put in my window so I can watch it glitter in the light!

This is SO GORGEOUS. I wish I could find it for myself! Or, at least, that HR was available in Canada 🙂
What a find!! It looks gorgeous on you x
Wowahweewah :O What a lovely sparkly lipstick 🙂 x
I love your posts. You make me giggle.
I LOVE this on you. Looks gorgeous.

What a fab find! I love it! I think it really suits you 🙂 Love, love, love your eye makeup too! xx
Gorgeous!! So princessley!
I’ve given you an award at my blog (post scheduled for tomorrow!) xxx
this is amazing! i can’t believe you found it at tk maxx too! it looks really beautiful on you–and in the tube..wow, almost untouchable 🙂
Firstly, I thought that the close up shot was of your nail.
Secondly, I LOVE the amount of sparkle in it
Thirdly, LOVING how great your lashes are looking.
I saw how to look good naked on tv today and they used Shu eyelash curlers on the model and they really worked so I’m considering buying a pair.
Oh and I forgot to add this, it looks like you’ve got a grill in the lip swatch photo..ballin’!
looks lovely on you, very pretty
LOVE IT! and you’re totally right – first impression: glitter bomb on a stick but it truly is a beauty 🙂
i don’t think i could love this more, but then i read your description of it and i do. i love it more. 🙂
TK Maxx in the UK!! I must go there!! Thanks for the tip…that lippie looks FANTASTIC on you.
And, I always love your incredible lashes!
I’d definitely compare that lipstick to the Shiseido Shimmering Lipstick in SL 14. You can’t see that much glitter in the tube but it looks the same on my lips.
😉
@makeupdive – thank u!
@Shela – Thanks! Definitely dig out the sparkles, you’ll regret not wearing them when you hit 40 😉
@Get_Lippe, thank you!
@Daisy – Isn’t it? I picked up another (in red) but it didn’t have that insane amount of glitter on the outside. (Shame!) lol
@Justine – Yes, HR seem to be pulling out of everywhere!! My nearest proper counter is in France 🙁 It’s do-able… but I’ll keep hunting for sources closer to home!
@Avril – Thank You!
@Lucy B – Super twinkly!
@Michelle – you just made my day my love xxx thank you
@Kim – ta chick, I’m in a bit of a gold/bronzey rut though :S
@GoldenTouch – Thank you!! It is a bit special isn’t it!
@Suka & Spice – I know, I wanna hunt down a backup… If I do, dare me to frame it? 😀
@Rhamnousia – haha, you made me chuckle. No grills here, probably a bit of spit or something… nice.
Loads of people are commenting on my lashes recently… well when I say loads, I mean… at least 4. Wonder if it’s the Mavala?
@priscyore – thank you so much xx
@Lizzard – When I bought it, it was packaged with an eyeshadow in a security casing so I could actually see what it looked like and I asked the SA if I could have a peek before buying… he wasn’t supposed to (as it was discounted) but let me anyway. I laughed and said that I loved the eyeshadow, but hated this lippie. But that I’d buy it anyway (they came as a pair) and I’d have to find someone I didn’t like to give the lippie to for Xmas..
Oh, how wrong about it was I?
@KellieGonzo – Haha, too cute! I want more, all lipsticks should look like this.
@Jamilla – Thank you – oooh another lash compliment!! *looks at the Mavala* – You must go to TK Maxx it’s a veritable treasure trove of discounted hard to find goodies!
@Viktoria – oooh thank you!!! I will have to have a google for the Shiseido!
Hey I love this. I have a local TK MAXX and was wondering about how much this cost you? I may have to have a dig around xx
