July 3rd brought a POP of color to The Grove with the original punk-rock brand, Manic Panic. A brand widely used by the likes of Fernanda Ly, Katy Perry, Kesha and others teamed with Nicole Richie’s House of Harlow to bring joy to all. With a unique pop-up shop, Grove goers could purchase a piece from the House of Harlow collection and receive a pop-of-color from Manic Panic.
The pop-up ushered in a wave of color and glam to customers. Shoppers were gifted with a choice of either Pink Cadillac or Pastel, Ma Belle! to take home. Note: The Pop-up is running from July 3rd-19th
Both brands were received with open arms as beauty babes, bloggers, and fashion lovers rejoiced. Having been a huge fan of Manic Panic, the Bellomo sisters and HoH since its launch in 2009, we couldn’t refuse and when we were offered to review Manic Panic’s full lip collection and hair dye we were thrilled.
Manic Panic’s unique style and marketing tact make it a brand worth flaunting. With unique product names especially like those in their latest Lethal Collection such as; Atomic Turquoise, Kiss of Death, Naked Under Leather, Vampire’s Kiss, White Witch, Starry Night, Deadly Nightshade and Bad Boy Blue play into the current youth market. That said, product names aren’t the only reason we can’t stop panicking over this POPular brand. With colors and hues that span the complete rainbow, it’s enough to get any color-loving, pop-junky, and beauty blogger’s pulse running. You literally want to change your lipstick color every hour and with this many shades to choose from, why not? Prices for a single stick of Lethal Lipstick run roughly $15.00 a tube, so it’s not that cheap. But, the colors are rich enough that you can apply once in the morning and ensure that the color will last well through lunch and into the afternoon with minimal reapplying required.
I love the lipsticks so much that I’ve been hoarding the lot in my purse and makeup drawer, it’s become quite the issue with my boy as he’s made a few remarks concerning my “lipstick problem” as he refers to it. That said, currently, I’m wearing the Glamourose, (which is a deep purple/fuschia color) and I blend it with Naked Under Leather (a pale nude color). It really brightens and adds a subtle pink undertone to the darker shade. I find that I only have to reapply it once and the color lasts about 5 to 6 hours between each application. The lipsticks come in three textures from creamy to matte, and opalescent. Naked Under Leather has a creamier texture while Glamourose is a bit more matte.
Having been gifted with so many to choose from I suspect, I’ll be changing out my lipstick quite often. Maybe even giving a few away on our Instagram page. Lipstick aside, we were also sent some great hair dye to use. I’ve been waiting for my current color to fade a bit before trying to apply some new color. But, that doesn’t mean the colors we were sent should go unused which is why we’ll be giving away one or two on our Instagram as well. For those that don’t know, Manic Panic is a vegan based beauty brand, so you don’t have to worry about harsh chemicals or products being tested on animals. It’s cruelty-free and fabulous for a flawless look every time. Hair dye prices very but, the Amplified bottles of color cost on average, $17.30 per bottle, whereas the Dye Hard temporary tubes of color cost about $4.99. Not bad for a temporary dye job.
