Sportsgirl Paint The Town Lip Paint in 'Imagine That'

Hey guys,

I bought this product to test and compare it to the Inglot lip paints that I love( blogpost coming soon on that one) and I must say I am quite disappointed.

So Sportsgirl has some amazing make up goodies and I totally love their lipsticks and  lip glosses so I picked up this lip paint in 'Imagine That' thinking I have found a dupe for some expensive lip paints. 

It retails for $7.95 which is a bargain compared to Inglot which is $23. The colour I bought looks like a rosy pink but on the lips it came out lighter than what it looks like in the tube.

What I think of this product- I hate it!!! It is so difficult to work with. I did one thin layer and it made the cracks of my lips visible. I put on another thin layer and it made it worse. Worst of all it is soooo sticky!!! I couldn't capture it but if i closed my lips and opened them there would be peaks on the inner part of my lips which indicates stickyness. I am not sure if I like the formula because Inglot lip paints look flawless on the lips and this one just made my lips look bad. Also the colour in the tube and the colour on my lips look so different. I applied it using a lip brush and also tried straight from the tube but no luck because it is so heavy and sticky on the lips I just can't like it.

So there goes my $7.95 in the bin unless someone can tell me how to deal with it and make it work.

Have you tried the Sportsgirl lip paints? What do you think of them???

Sportsgirl Pout About It Lipcolour in Pretty Please


Hey Guys,

I was recently in sportsgirl shopping and suddenly my eyes fell on their cosmetic section. I thought they only had nail polishes and lip glosses but was quite surprised to see that they have branched out to palettes, lipsticks, lip paints,blushes etc. I picked up this lipstick in Pretty Please which is a light pink colour. It is a very natural colour on medium skin tones.

The packaging is quite nice as they have the colour of the lipstick showing through at the bottom. This lipstick retails for $9.95 which is pretty reasonable too. The colour payoff is amazing. I did not expect it to be so creamy and last me upto 4 hours of wear ( no eating and drinking).

The following swatches are two swipes of the product 



I reach for this colour whenever I want to just slap on something natural but still stand out. It is a very pretty colour and for under $10 you really can't go wrong.

This collection of lipsticks contains bright oranges and reds too which I am definitely going to check out.  

By the way the picture online does no justice to the colour. It shows up as a peachy nude but it is actually a light pink.

Have you tried the Sportsgirl lipsticks?? Leave me a comment below and let me know which colour you have tried.

Lots of Love,
