So I finally got my hands on the Forever 21 Barbie lipstick trio! Forever 21 recently came out with a Barbie collection including clothes, hair brushes, makeup bags, lipsticks, and mirrors. I've been dying to get my hands on the lipstick trio, but I don't have a Forever 21 close to me, and I hated spending so much on shipping from their website. I'm on a facebook page where girls sell makeup, and someone had these for sale, so I picked them up!
Now honestly, I wanted these more for the "collectors" sake. Yes, I am an adult, and yes, I still have a place in my heart for Barbie!
Now at Forever 21, this collection goes for less then $10. On ebay though, you'll see it going for $25+! So if you can, get it at Forever 21!
These are the three colors that come in the set. (swatches are from left to right ) Pink Rose, Red Rouge, and Fushia. As you can see, Pink Rose doesn't show up at all. All it is a clear gloss, which is rather disappointing. Plus, mine came broken, which was another disappointment!
Red Rouge is a pretty orange based red. Fushia is a fun and bright color. Other then Pink Rose, the colors are pretty pigmented for being Forever 21 makeup! They smell BAD though! They smell like kids makeup, it's a very strong chemical/plastic smell. Not very nice!
Still though, for me, I just like having them sit on my vanity. The packaging is very cute with the Barbie script and the color showing on the bottom.
Not bad for a Barbie fan/collector. If you buying this just for makeup sake though, I'd say pass. What with the horrible smell and the clear lipstick, it's pretty pointless. These colors aren't unique. You can easily find the same colors at the drugstore.
