Happy Monday!
(Can you believe it's the last week of March?!)
I was reading my Lucky magazine, and I came across a beauty rule:
SHADE A + SHADE B = ALWAYS FLATTERING
Interesting, right?
So, I decided to test it out. ;)

So, I decided to test it out. ;)
Ironclad rule: Any two lipcolors, mixed together, create a color that looks good on anyone.
Try it with any two lipsticks and you'll be amazed; try it with these new dual-ended $9 miracles and you'll be thrilled. There are 13 versions in all.
COVERGIRL Blast Flipstick Lipcolor
Create your one-of-a-kind look with our expertly designed blendable lip duos.
Mix and match cream and shimmer shades with the flip of a stick for a unique look with endless possibilities.

COVERGIRL Blast Flipstick Lipcolor

- Double-ended stick
- One shimmer, one cream shade
- Blend to create unique looks
How to apply:
1. Before you begin, apply all other makeup and ensure lips are smooth.
2. Starting at the center of the upper lip, apply the creamy color, moving outward toward one corner.
Repeat on the other side and on the lower lip. Use your pinky or a lip brush to fill in any gaps.
3. Apply the shimmer shade to the center of the lips only. Blend the color outward with your pinky or a lip brush.
4. Place a folded tissue between pressed lips to remove excess.
I love this flipstick!
There's really nothing bad I can say about it.
The colors are beautiful -- both alone and combined.
The slanted shape of the lipstick makes it so easy to apply -- it glides on smoothly!
It is moisturizing (but still use a lip balm, definitely!) and long-lasting.
I've read some reviews saying that they don't like the smell -- it's not the best smell in the world, but personally, I don't mind. I guess it really depends from person to person.
At $9 ($8.99 at Ulta), I think this is a really good buy!
Think of it as getting 3 lipsticks for the price of one. ;)

To further test Lucky magazine's beauty rule, I decided to use this lip duo I got as part of a gift set from Clinique:
Here is a swatch:
Candy Pink/ Watermelon/ Combined
I'd say their beauty rule worked well for both of my lip duos. ;)
What do you guys think?

Have a fantastic week, everyone!!!
