I
had the opportunity to be a tester for Jamberry's new lip color from
their Jambeauty line. My consultant sent me four colors to try along
with the lip scrub and some throw away applicators.
The test was to
run for four days and we had to document what we did in our day along
with a rating score (1=Dislike 2=It was okay 3=Like it 4=Love it
5=It's the bomb). We were also encourage to take some photos.
The
lip color comes in two different box set options, one in Neutral (Coy and Charming) and one in Bold (Dare Devil and Cheeky). It
retails for $65 (in my area) and includes two lip colors (already
pre-packaged by color), one lip scrub, and one sheet of exclusive
Jamberry wraps.
Here
are my results and some photos.
Day
One: Coy
I
started with the lightest color and worked my way up to the bolder
colors. This day I was at an all day conference for 10 hours.
Applied
color at 5:30am (two coats, although first day I think went on
thicker than the other days)
Removed
at 8am (after eating breakfast, I felt the color had pretty much
removed itself due to being the lightest color
I
did not re-apply throughout my day. This was not my favorite
color as it is too light and I prefer lipstick to show if I'm putting
forth the effort to wear.

Day
Two: Charming
I
was at work fro 10 hours
Applied
color at 4:30am and re-applied later in the day at 1:30pm
Removed:
first application approximately 6:30 am (again after I ate/drank) and
later in the day approximately 6pm (due to the lighter pigment, I
felt this mostly rubbed off on its own)

Day
Three: Dare Devil
I
was at work for 10 hours. This color got the most compliments.
The lip color transferred onto my coffee cup once it got wet.
Applied
color at 5am
Removed
at 9am (I rubbed the color off as it has mostly come off the water
line/corners and I had somebody sitting in with me at work. I
thought it looked funny being mostly left on my upper lip)

Day
Four: Cheeky
I
was at home and had a brunch/Jamberry party. I am not a fan of
red lip color and felt my first application had me looking like
Ronald McDonald. I removed the color and tried again with less
on the applicator and tried starting the color in the center of the
lip and moved outward. I thought that looked better on the
second application.
Applied
color at 9am
Removed
color at 2pm (I allowed the color today to just rub off completely
and didn't re-apply. It was really noticeable when the
color started to wear at this is a very bold color palate)

Bonus
Day: One layer of Dare Devil and one layer of Coy
I
decided to layer the two colors as I wasn't sure I 100% loved any of
these lip colors and wanted to mix. I did feel the lip color
blended well, however, I'd have to buy two different gift sets to be
able to mix Dare Devil with another color since I don't like Cheeky.

Pros:
The
lip product smells really good and tastes good
It
is very easy to take off
The
bolder colors make my teeth look whiter
The
product is semi-dry overall but not as dry as I was expecting
Unlike
another long lasting lip product I've tried, you don't have to gloss
all the time
Cons:
I
would not classify this as a long lasting lip color and most days the
majority of it came off by the time I ate/drank for the first time
It
got on my teeth easily when applying
When
it breaks down, I can tell the pieces flake into my mouth
Semi-dry
lip product when I already feel I have dry lips most of the time
Overall
thoughts:
At
this time, I would not buy this product. The cost point is
pretty high when you can't pick the colors (i.e. I am not a fan of
cheeky or coy and these two are paired along with the other colors in
the gift pack). It was pretty dry overall and came off too
quickly. I tend to prefer shinny to matte lip color.
At
this point, I'll sick to my Jamberry wraps. I am very glad I had
this opportunity to try this new lip product.
