This + That: Peachy Duds


Here's a new feature on the Gyaru called This + That. I'm going to take two things (or maybe more?) that go together in some way whether they're from beauty, fashion, design or anything! Today's This + That is titled peachy duds because I have two similarly colored lip products that I didn't particularly care for individually, but really sing when paired together.

First up is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Charm. This pale peachy nude color was just a little too light for my skin and lip tone resulting in what I will refer to as porn star lips. I also found the formula a bit dry and it clings to any dry spots on your lips and looks patchy.

My issue with the Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Max wasn't so much about color and formula, but the scent/flavor. It's a caramel-y cookie kind of flavor that I'm sure many people will love, but it's just too cloying for me.

Together these two products pair really well together. The gloss solves any dryness issues and gives Charm a little more color and shine to just make it work. Of course I'm still not a fan of the flavor, but I feel like it's a lot more bearable when my lips look amazing!
