Budget Beauty Tuesday: Editor’s Pick—Black Radiance Perfect Tone Lipstick
Dark and bold. When it comes to lip color this season, the darker the berry, the sweeter the lip. This past weekend, I was on the hunt for a new lip color that would add an extra sizzle to a body-hugging outfit I was planning to surprise my beau with for a hot date-night we had planned. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money and I needed to buy something quick (a.k.a no long distracting department store beauty counter trips) so I headed to my local Walgreens and combed the racks for a dark, seductive, lip color.
About Black Radiance Perfect Tone Lipstick : 5042A Panther
Provides full coverage and sufficient shine in one. This beautiful collection of lip colors is designed to complement a vast array of skin tones. Plus, its deep moisturizing color lasts for hours.
My results:
This was my first type using such a dark lip color, but this was love at first application. The lipstick went on smooth, was super moisturizing, and left a creamy finish on my lips. The color itself was highly pigmented and true-to-color.
My lips screamed rocker-edgy which is the look I was going for. The best thing about Black Radiance Panther was that it was long-lasting! I was able to enjoy a night of drinking and eating and still left with color at the end of the night. I used the color later in the week, and it lasted an entire eight-hour work day. The color is sexy. Loved it.

The funny thing is I like how dark it looks in the tube. But the berry color is very nice. I’m a bit of a lipstick hoarder and I don’t think I have a shade that’s exactly that color. Very pretty and for $2.99 you can’t go wrong!

I think this shows the importance of trying things out. At first glance of that color in the tube I would have turned around and ran far from it. It looks soooo dark, but when I see it on you, it is just gorgeous. It really does compliment your skintone very nicely. And for $2.99?? That is why I love buying drugstore makeup, it is affordable (sometimes down right cheap), but you can find some amazing quality products there. I need to try some more of this Black Radiance line, I see some really nice reviews on their products.

Hi Angela! I’m with you on this one. I went into the store with the intention of finding something cheap but quality! I’ve used Black Radiance eye shadows in the past so I crossed my fingers and hoped that their lipsticks would be of high quality, too. They also have other colors that are still dark but a diff shade than Panther. Go to their site and check some of them out! Thanks for reading the review!
