Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipsticks - Delish & Fairytale

I had no clue about Covergirl's new line of lipsticks til I hit up Walgreens few weeks ago. Lip Perfection line has a huge range of shades of lipsticks, 44 to be exact! Obviously when you are standing in front of 44 lipsticks, you must try a couple of them! :D At that time, Walgreens had a buy one get one 1/2 off promotion so I took advantage of it!


Packaging is light purple and has a mirrored look. For a drugstore brand, I actually don't have any complaints about the packaging. I like it more than the previous CG lipstick tubes. I think Cover Girl has done a pretty good job by putting the colors on the bottom of each tube and they are pretty darn accurate! One thing I do not like about these lipsticks has to be the scent, they have a old lipstick smell to them.The two colors I picked up are Delish (because it's nude, so it had to be done!) and Fairytale, because it's totally out of my "comfort zone"!


Delish is a browny nude. At the time I bought it looked to me as if it would be comparable to MAC's Shy Girl or Peachstock. Well, it was definitely nothing close to Peachstock so I didn't feel the need to even include it in my swatch comparison. As you can see in the photos below, it's not really comparable to anything! It is more comparable to Too Faced's Totally Nude of the 3 colors I compared it to, but it's not really a dupe.

Fairytale is an intense, warm reddish coral. Again, at the store I thought it would be a good dupe for MAC's Impassioned and I was kind of wrong. While it is comparable to Impassioned and Rimmel's Nostalgia, they are all different. Fairytale has the most red of the three, Impassioned has more pink it and Nostalgia has the most pink.

I absolutely love the way these lipsticks wear on my lips. They are super creamy and apply very smoothly. Fairytale has a really long staying power that after hours of wearing it, it leaves lips stained! I actually kind of like that, because I hate reapplying lipstick. In the past I have had red lipsticks that bled like crazy and I am happy to report Fairytale does not bleed! Delish, while a pretty color, doesn't have as long of a staying power as Fairytale. It's also not drying on lips like most nude lipsticks. They retail for $7.50.

Have you tried these Covergirl lipsticks?

    I think a lot of companies are stepping up their game with lipsticks! There's Revlon with their CB, Maybelline with their CS, and now CG's line of creamy, pigmented lippies. I just love it! The review is great and thank you so much for the swatches. I've passed this at my local grocery a few times, but haven't picked any up. My first ever lipstick was from CG and it wasn't great and reminds me of a time that I had to save my allowance (I was still a Teen) to get it. LOL.

    Fairytale is gorgeous! I have 3 of these now and really like them... try Siren if you want a nice hot pink with multi shimmer! I think it would be pretty on you!

    Thanks so much for the review and swatches! I've been planning to get some lipsticks since I don't really own any. It's hard for me to drop that much money on one little product that I may or may not use, so I've been looking for some good inexpensive ones. The most important thing to me is finding good shades to wear, and since this line has 44 I'm hopeful I'll find some good ones! I love the shades you got :)

    These are great lipsticks, however I do wish they were moisturizing. They wear very well, though without feeling really uncomfortable.

    I love Delish, it's such a lovely shade of nude. Ohhhhh Ebru you're getting me addicted to lippies. My sister and cousin even bought nude delight after trying out the one you got me. I love it. I really love nude lipsticks with an orange gloss. The swatches of these bright pinks makes me want to go get some...but it just doesn't work on me. Hope you're having fun on vaca..say hi to your sister lovely!

    I as well was generally pretty impressed over all with these when I saw them at the drugstore but the scent really got me! But after your review they sound pretty great! Might change my mind! Would love a FOTD with Fairytale!

    I bought Kiss and "Fairytale"...it's crazy how popular that color is. I'm going to look for Delish, but you should try Kiss it's a very pretty light peach.
