Pacifica Color Quench Lip Tint

Hi all! Have you missed me!? I took a little break to put some ideas together and a piece that I promised and am so excited to write is finally here! Today's post is all about Pacifica's Color Quench Lip Tints!

Let me start off by saying that I have never found a product that I like as much as I like these. I mean I saw them, decided to try them, bought every color,  bought backups of my favorite colors, and now wear every day!

That's a good picture because I know you can read all of the names. There are five different choices. In their Jumbo options-there is one more and it is a white/sheer coconut pearls luminizing lip quench (I have it too). I definitely prefer the smaller size.

These are the most moisturizing products that have ever touched my lips. I often come across things that are so wonderful that I have to wonder why companies don't use a generic basic formula, sort of like a default-this should be the default. Since Pacifica is a 100% vegan-cruelty free brand, I believe these products get their moisturizing effects from their avocado and coconut oils. I'm not kidding, if you need moisture, get these. Who am I kidding? Even if you don't need moisture-GET THESE.

The names they have are delicious sounding. Guess what!? They smell heavenly. Very refreshing, relaxing scents that are not overpowering in the slightest.

Here's the other thing I love about these Lip Quenches:

GLORIOUS, BEAUTIFUL PIGMENT!!! These lip quenches add visible tint to lips! I have swatched these for you in the order of the picture above. The vanilla hibiscus is very sheer and is the furthest left. My favorite is the sugared fig. Second place would go to blood orange.

These lip quenches are incredibly light weight and do not add a sticky, heavy, wax feel to my lips at all-in fact, it doesn't feel like you're wearing anything honestly. I was ready to completely toss all the other moisturizing lip products that I have all together until I realized there was no SPF in these. The SPF is the only bad thing I could ever say about these but that's because as a Redhead, sun protection is a requirement.

I have loved every single product that I have purchased from Pacifica but these are exceptional. My Pacifica watch list now includes an Ultra CC Cream with SPF that they have released a sneak peek of on Facebook! I am so excited. 

You can find these through the Pacifica website where they are $7.00 each. I believe you can also find them in Ulta and on the Ulta website. Both places run special offers every now and then-keep your eye out if you are a deal searcher like myself! Also, both sites participate with Ebates, where you will get cash back on all your purchases!!!

What do you think? Have you ever tried these lip quenches? Will you? Do you have any questions about them?

Pacifica Products and Promos

*update* The lip quenches are amazing!!! I will review them on their own in the weeks to come!

I got my Ipsy bag! Yay! I know I've mentioned Ipsy before, it's a subscription service that is only $10 and you get 4-5 "samples" from beauty brands every month! I put the word sample in quotations because with Ipsy, a lot of the time you get full-size products that are worth much more than $10 by themselves! I will review and break down my Ipsy bag by price later this month. If you would like to join me on Ipsy and subscribe to the Glam Bag you can by using my referral link! Michelle Phan curates the bags! Check it out!

Ipsy not only sends you samples, the brands they partner with usually offer exclusive promo codes for that month's featured brands! I usually check out the brands searching for extra good deals. I have found several over the course of my subscription, but this month I found one I am particularly giddy about! The brand is Pacifica and they are a 100% Vegan-Cruelty free beauty brand. 

They are currently running a promotion for buy 2, get 1 free lip products. I checked out the lip products and found these tinted lip quench products that are $7.00 a piece. I wasn't convinced that I wanted them so I explored the site a little more and found that if you sign up for the e-mail list, they will send you an offer for a free gift. I put my name on the list and received a promo code for a free Guava Berry lip quench with a purchase of $25 or more! I also noticed that you get a free sample of a solid perfume on orders of $30 or more.  So I decided that was my target: $30! It should also be noted that at $50 you get free shipping.

Here's what the Ipsy/Pacifica offer was this month, 20% off ANY purchase. So with all that knowledge, now we're cooking. I knew I had to get two lip products-which would qualify me for the third, free lip product. The lip quenches are right up my alley in terms of beauty so I added the Coconut Nectar and the Sugared Fig lip quench. I chose the Vanilla Hibiscus lip quench as my free lip product. I needed to spend $16 more to hit my target so I added a Blood Orange Take me there set which included a Blood Orange lip quench, lotion, and a roll-on perfume. I got all five lip quenches! I had a total of $32 in my cart. I chose the Hawaiian Ruby Guava solid perfume free sample, added the promo code for my free guava berry lip quench, and added the Ipsy promo code: ipsy20 for 20% off.

Here's what I got and what it was worth:

CN Lip Quench	$7.00
SF Lip Quench	$7.00
VH Lip Quench	$7.00
GB Lip Quench	$7.00
BO Lip Quench	$9.00

TOTAL:	$64.95

Here's what I paid:

Free Gift	$0.00
Free Sample	$0.00
ipsy20	$(6.40)
Ebates	$(0.58)

I got 52% off! My Ebates cash back was finalized (*side note-if you create an Ebates account and make a purchase of $25 or more, you get a $10 gift card of your choice*)! So, the total that I paid went down even more! I wanted to get this up while these promos and discounts are still available.  It's definitely worth a try!
