LIP SWATCHES : Sally Hansen Beauty by Carmindy lipsticks (75% off at CVS!)

I've wanted the Sally Hansen by Carmindy lipsticks ever since I saw swatches on Temptalia, but they were $10 each, and that's a bit expensive for drugstore makeup. Luckily, I caught them on sale at CVS for 75% off! I got three colors for the price of one! $2.50 each:


 
I got the colors in Seashell Nude, Rosy Brown, and Sunbeam:


These have absolutely NO SMELL or taste at all; it blows my mind! They feel moist on the lips but not so much that they're slippery (like the Revlon Colorbursts). The wear time is an average 3-4 hours.

Here are my bare lips for comparison purposes:


Lip swatch of Seashell Nude. This one is the darkest, and it looks like a rosy brown on me (nc37-40):


Lip swatch of Rosy Brown. Even though this one is called Rosy Brown, it looks like a pure nude on me. It looks exactly like Brave New Bronze or Cherish by MAC when I wear it. It's my favorite of the three that I bought:


Lip Swatch of Sunbeam. This one is also a nude, but with a hint of brown/copper. It's only a shade darker than Rosy Brown, but reads darker and more glossy on the lips because of the subtle shimmer in it:

Here are some swatches on my hand. The differences in texture are my evident on my hand than on the lips. Rosy Brown (middle) is the most matte of the three :

Same order as above:

Let me know if you grabbed any of these! I love seeing hauls! =)
