Back when I was a HotMoviesForHer newbie, oh so many years ago, the very first toy I ever reviewed for the site was a vibrator disguised as a makeup compact. Since then, I’ve written about toys than range from totally unassuming to majorly obvious sex toys (check back here next week for a big one!), but no other obvious look-a-likes. Today I am going full circle and adding to the makeup case sex toy collection with Love Lipstick Vibe, a pocket-sized vibrator that doubles as a completely undetected tube of lipstick. Those crafty toy manufacturers!
The Love Lipstick Vibe is a one speed, clit stimulator with a powerful motor and just enough digression for even the most embarrassed lady to bring along in her purse. Looks-wise, this toy is totally a lipstick case when it’s got the cover on, and only lets on it may be something different if you actually take off the lid and touch the “lipstick” part, which is made of hard plastic.
The vibe works just as a real lipstick would, starting the action when you hold it by the shaft and twist the bottom half. The bright pink “lipstick” comes up and holds the heft of the vibrations. The whole thing buzzes, but this nub is definitely designed to press against your own nub, or wherever else you prefer!
I will say that I was quite surprised on two accounts. First, this little vibe is super silent. I could barely hear it when I had it on 2 feet from my ear, and across the room it’s not even a whisper. This would really be a perfect toy for folks with roommates or the desire to bring their ‘makeup’ into the bathroom for a ‘touch up’ during a fancy dinner out on the town. And if you are going to all the trouble to make this toy as innocuous as possible, it only makes sense to have it be stealth and under-the-radar noise-wise as well.
Secondly, I was impressed by the power this little bugger let loose. I’m used to small vibes packing minimal punch and this one definitely surpassed my expectations. Sure, it’s no Hitachi Magic Wand, but for a small vibrator run on one AAA battery, it’s not too shabby. I don’t usually get off with one speed toys, since I need to kick into high gear as it get close, so I wasn’t able to ride this pony all the way home, but it got me to where I needed to go enough for me to sprint to the finish line on my own.
Packaging… well, it’s not covered in half naked women with big boobs leering from the box. This vibe actually comes in a hard plastic bright pink heart. I shit you not. It’s a little dated feeling with a neon pink lightning bolt front and center on the heart, but I appreciate it in a cheesy way and I am willing to deal with it.
If you lift the molded portion that the vibrator snugly rests, below there is an instruction booklet, battery (yay coming with batteries!) and a small velvety pouch to carry your lipstick in. Great idea, lousy execution. Trying to put a matte plastic case into a velvety bag is basically putting a wet foot into a dry sock – friiiiiiiction than makes super difficult. Not that it has any bearing on the toy, but I just had to mention it.
All in all, the Love Lipstick Vibe is a decent vibrator that does just the right job if you want digression and a little secret stashed in your purse.
