The Girl Who Played With Fire...Addiction By Ayako Girl On Fire Lipgloss Swatches and Look!

I purchased the Addiction's 'Girl on Fire' lip glosses and nail polishes when the collection launched in January. But, I only started using them within the last month, as the colors felt more Summery.

At first glance, I was going to pass on the glosses, but after swatching them, I was sold!

From left to right: Factory Girl, Yellow Cab, Purple Rain, Girl on Fire.

The doe-foot applicator has a dip in the middle to hug the lips beautifully as you apply.

I love the unique wash of color that these glosses give to bare lips, and when applied over other lip products.

All four colors have been getting a lot of love from me in the past month. Addiction lip glosses retail for ¥2,625 (based on today's currency exchange, that's $26.80), and contain 5.5 grams of product. I highly recommend picking up one (if not all) of this glosses.

As with all Addiction collections, I love the promotional image for the collection. I've been wanting to give my little spin on the look, but I haven't had an evening to do, what would warrant, such a dramatic look...that is, until this Sunday :)

For color comparisons, I've swatched all the products used to create this look.

From left to right: Eye shadow Cigarette & Nostalgia, Kohl Eyeliner Secret Nights (blue shade), Eye Lacquer WP Swimming Pool.

From left to right: Blush in Sometime, Rococo, Nocturne. The overcast sky really washed out the beauty of these blushers, especially Nocturne.
