little white truths

I haven't reviewed one of these lipsticks for ages - indeed, I've only ever reviewed Enchanted, a purple shade that I love (see here) - but I do have a few of these lippies now because they're so reasonably priced and excellent products.

Indeed, I reckon Sportsgirl's lipsticks are up there with Shanghai Suzy's, which is saying something because SS lippies are my HG products.


I picked up this shade in the clearance bin for 45 cents, which I was super excited about at the time because it's my kind of colour and I've had such a great experience of these lipsticks in the past, but unfortunately this one isn't up to scratch - it's chalky and grainy and I'm wondering if it's a bad formulation or if it was getting a bit old (hence being in the clearance bin).

Anyhoo. After trialling it for a couple of weeks, I've decided to turf it.

Life's too short for crap lipsticks.


Sportsgirl claims/product details:

• Vibrant lipstick colour that moisturises and protects
• Not tested on animals
• 'Tutti Frutti' is a peachy, creamsicle shade in the matte formula
• RRP $9.95 for 4g

There's the colour above and below. You can imagine that a shade like this could look a little chalky if the formula wasn't great.
