High Voltage Lip Candy Swatches

Due to recent customer service complaints, long order waits, orders going missing and ingredient inconsitencies, I can no longer recommend High Voltage Cosmetics.
Soooo.... I pretty much cannot stop buying from High Voltage. Whenever Jasmine puts the 5 for $20 Lip Candy deal up, I physically cannot resist it. I just can't. Luckily for me, you can now get lip product grab bags! Sweeeet! And if you're reading this anywhen near time of posting, go and buy the very limited Heart of Glass now. Go on. *pokepoke*

Anyway, my last order was some of the 'tamer' colours that High Voltage carry. Let's have a butchers:

 'Bad Romance.'
 'Sunset Strip Strut.'
 'Va Va Voom'


'Kiss Of True Love.'



'Sweet and Deceitful.'

Sometimes I look at my lip swatches and think... I'd kiss the crap out of me if I wasn't me. Anyway... Not bad choices at all, if I do say so myself! Bad Romance might be a bit much on my skin, I'll just have to play and see what I can make it work with. I'm a massive fan of Sunset Strip Strut and Kiss of True Love already - just my kind of colours - and Va Va Voom will be featured in Lip Maths this week! I was hoping for a Lime Crime Cosmopop dupe in Sweet and Deceitful (which would be a fitting name for a LC dupe, actually, -_-) but it's more brown-leaning.  My word, does a peach lipstick do things to me! What shall I pair it with?

Bought anything pretty lately?

  7. I have a lippie order from high Voltage making its way to me and I am so excited! I haven't tried any of the lip products yet, but I'm expecting nothing short of orgasmic bliss in a pot. Otherwise I'll be severely disappointed. And Sunset Strip Strut should be called Sunset Strip Slut because that would awesome.

  15. @The Peach: They're really great colours! I wanna catch em all!

    @Lyuba-chan: I'm not tempting! They're here for 'reference purposes'! Ha ha!

    @Stephee: :P My swatch lips are overly pouty and silly - they're quite thin irl.

    @Genki: I can't wait to wear it!

    @Lillian: I adore them too! Probably my favourite lip product like, ever. I LOVE Va Va Voom.

    @Mandy: Aw, thanks. I have no idea what to pair it with though.

    @JessiM: OMG WHAT DID YOU GET?

    @Vulcan Butterfly: I think there's lots you'd like there tbh.

    @GemX: I love the Lip Candies, obviously. They are a little drying, but they're very long lasting, very pigmented and where they're in a pot, you can mix them dead easily!

    @jamie-lee: Thanks for your comment which I accidentally deleted as I was deleting horrid spa :(

    @RaeRae: Oooh, that'd be a great colour for you, I think!

    @VijiiS: I know! I want them all anyway so I don't care what colours I get, ha ha!

    @KittenMittens: SAHRY. Except I'm not... what did you get?
