I just recently got a Bzzcampaign to try Covergirl BlastFLIPstick. This is what it says about the product on http://www.covergirl.com/blastflipstick:
2 lipsticks in 1 BlastFlipstick! Flip your look from day to night, soft to bright, with BlastFlipstick's double-ended lipstick duos. With a creamy shade on one side and a shimmer shade on the other, it's two wearable, blendable, lipcolors in one!
I tried all 3 of the Covergirl Blast Flipstick samples I was sent from Bzzagent. My initial reaction when seeing the selection of color choices I was sent, was, "all of these are going to look AWFUL on me.", which they did. I have a very light skintone and the colors I received did not compliment me well (855 Minx: a dark, deep brown on one end, a shimmery copper on the other, 820 vixen: a bright burgundy on one end, a medium shimmery pink on the other, 840 Stunner: a very bold reddish orange on one end and a shimmery "sunny" gold on the other). However, with that said, there are 13 double-ended color choices in the blastflipstick line, so, I am pretty confident that there would be one that I would like should I want to try a better suited color. My opinion of the concept is that it is a really neat way to purchase just one item and have the versatility that the Covergirl blastflipstick offers. Though I did not care for the colors, I did decide to wear it around the house to get a fair opinion of it. I noticed that it did not dry out and become chalky but rather smooth and I could still rub my lips together. It did not feather much and it left my lips not feeling like I needed to run for lip balm. The color did have very good staying power and I did not have to reapply in the 7 hours that I wore it. However, as far as transfer, it did transfer to my glass and my napkin and my husband (hehe) which is one thing I disliked, BUT, usually expect from lipstick. I realize this is not an edible product but considering that it is on your lips, it is almost impossible to not get it in your mouth and the "taste" is awful. Overall, assuming you can find a color that compliments your skintone and you can deal with the taste of it, I would absolutely recommend it. I would recommend to Covergirl to expand the color options and do something about the taste of it though.
This was the Bzzkit they sent me. I thought the presentation was very visually appealing. The box was cute and they sent a TON of coupons!
