Hello Waffle Cosmetics Lip Colour Swatch Spam

Purchased Myself

Left to Right: East (Wu Xing), North (Wu Xing), The Pretties in the World (Visage Extra),
My Lips But ... Better (My Lips But ...) and My Lips But ... Berrier (My Lips But ...).

Hello readers,
Today I have swatches of all the lipsticks from my most recent Hello Waffle Cosmetics order.  There are a couple shades from the My Lips But ... collection, a couple from the Wu Xing collection and one Visage extra.  The lip colour formula from Hello Waffle is very moisturizing and creamy.  I did find that most of these shades left a stain on my lips as well which makes the colour last even longer.  Let's take a look at swatches.
