Review: Kate Spade New York "Supercalifragilipstick" Lipstick

It has been too long since I posted a review, but I'm here! Christmas and New Year's both passed in a blur, and I turned 30 this year! I think what everyone says about turning 30 is very true. It wasn't sad, it wasn't horrible, it's wasn't the end of the world. It actually feels great, and I'm more myself and at peace with everything than I've ever been. And 30 is the new 20, right? 

Anyway, I was at Nordstrom Rack over the holidays trying to get some holiday gift shopping in, and it's always days when you're shopping for others that you always find something for yourself. So, I was browsing the beauty section when I stumbled upon a basket of these Kate Spade lipsticks. Now, I thought these were out of season or discontinued because they were at Nordtrom Rack, but nope! These are still on the Nordstrom website for $24.00 each. I got them for $7 each - amazing! 


The packaging: These come in a bright pink and red box with gold lettering. The tube itself is gold with pink lettering. You have to push in the bottom of the tube to get the lipstick out, and it's actually really fun to push in and push again to reinsert the lipstick. The tube says "pucker up" which makes me smile each time I see it! Kate Spade never fails when it comes to "happy" packaging, so I loved the packaging on these.


The scent: There is no discernible scent with these.


The product: I purchased three shades. All went on very smoothly. They all have a creamy texture, and two swipes gave me full coverage. There was minimal settling into lip lines, and I didn't have to prep my lips for these. They were fairly hydrating, and lasted about 3 hours. With eating and drinking, these definitely come off, so I did have to reapply. The first is Peach Snaps, which is a bright peachy-coral on me. This color packed a major punch, and it definitely turned heads being as bright as it is! The second shade is Bashful Blush, which is a muted rosy nude shade. This is the most wearable of course, because it's almost a "my lips but better" color. The last shade is Parisian Pink which was a bright pink with blue undertones. This one would be great for the upcoming Spring/Summer, and definitely made my teeth look brighter.

Favorites: My favorite would have to be Peach Snaps, but it's also not a color I could wear every day being so bright. I will be rockin' it this summer though!

Cost: If you can somehow manage to find these at Nordstrom Rack, they're $7. Otherwise, Nordstrom is selling these at $24 each. Is it worth $24? No, so try hunting around to see if these are still on sale.
