This cute case that dropped for Fenty Beauty’s holiday collection is already sold out, but the lipstick in Sorta Single is a mainstay. I love that the brand continues to offer super pigmented and bright colours – especially in their limited edition accessory drops, probably tapping into what their customers seem to be buying. Offering a lipstick that you have to buy a separate case for is an interesting choice for a brand and reviews on Sephora are all over the place – lots of people love them, and some find they’re too clunky. I’m in the love column. I like that you choose the case and the refill, although I don’t think that I’m ever going to run out of any of these lipsticks. The colours are great but the only ones I’ve ever finished are lipsticks that are sheer, glossy, and can be reapplied on the go without a mirror. Still, Sorta Single is a sorta red/magenta that is like a red when you don’t wanna red but it’s bright and yeah, there’s a sorta stain when it’s gone.
Although Sephora has next day shipping on things that are in stock in their stores, if you’re buying any of the gifts for yourself, you’re better off getting them from the Fenty website, where many are on sale. You won’t get them in time for Christmas, but probably the savings are worth it.
I’m also loving this new shade of the Fenty Beauty Cream Gloss in Dragonfly. It’s only available in the gift set, which is sold out at Sephora but available on the Fenty Beauty website. This set has a value of over $70 but retails for $55, so whether you keep the glosses for yourself or share them with someone, it’s a great value. Again, at this point, they may not arrive until after Christmas, but that’s ok.
