Okay, you may be looking at that picture up there and wondering when in the heck did Miss Kitten Boheme get into reviewing makeup?! Well, the answer is I haven’t (at least not yet… although I am open to it if you want to start seeing makeup reviews from someone who still applies it like a six year old who found mommy’s makeup stash…). Trust me when I say that that up there is most assuredly a vibrator. It is the Blush Novelties Rosé Lipstick Vibrator and boy oh boy does it look like a real lipstick! Color me impressed (and speaking of color, the deep pink is totally a shade I would wear too…). But also…. what is the obsession with making sex toys look like lipstick? I’ve got the Womanizer 2Go… which looks like a comically over-sized tube of lipstick, then there is the Iroha Stick which also invokes the look of lipstick even the We-Vibe Tango makes me think of lipstick that was twisted too far up and fell out of its tube. There is a lipstick obsession in the sex toy world that I just don’t understand!
But I’m also not really going to complain either. Especially not about the Blush Lipstick Vibe. Because a) I am kind of impressed with how much it actually does look like a tube of lipstick and b) it really isn’t a terrible vibrator for what it is. I am a bit bummed though that it is battery powered, I could really get behind a rechargeable, high quality lipstick vibe. But… I guess we’ve got to work with what we’ve got, and what we’ve got today is a battery powered lipstick vibe that I don’t absolutely hate. Why don’t I hate it? Well, in a nutshell… because it is strong enough to not suck and be a total disappointment.
Although… if we are being totally honest here (which we are) it is buzzy as all get out. But its not really buzzy in an “I hate this” sort of way… more of a “huh, its buzzy…but whatever” sort of way. For me its a very noncommittal buzz… I notice it, but it doesn’t affect the way I feel about it. Maybe it’s because I was kind of expecting it to be buzzy… after all it does run on a single AA battery… and in my experience (with some exceptions) battery powered vibes are either quite weak or they are strong but as buzzy as a busy bee. The Blush Novelties Rosé Lipstick Vibe is definitely strong and definitely buzzy. But like I said, it’s not bad… it’s strong enough that I can over look the buzz. A lot of the vibration does seem to travel through the body of the toy, I could really feel the base of it rattle in my hand while I was using it. It gave me a mild case of vibrator hand numbness.
