I remember when these first came out and they were so talked about on youtube. I think people were saying they were a dupe of the Too Faced melted lipsticks? I've never tried those so I'm not really sure. I bought one shade, a light pink (not sure of the shade name), from beauty joint.
The packaging of these look ok, it does look uite cheap to me. It is basically a lipgloss tube style package. It's easy to squish the product up and the screw top lid stays securely on. I don't like the applicator at all. It's a very hard plastic with a too big hole in the middle to let product out. Because it's a hard plastic, it's not the best to apply the product accurately to your lips. And also because the package is squishy and the hole is quite big, it will easily squeeze out too much product. I usually just use my finger to apply it but then of course you are left with a sticky finger. I don't really like either way actually, it needs to have either a wand or a smaller and softer tip.
The actual product is a thinish texture, it's not exactly runny but it is thin enough to easily spread out. If you do a swatch on your hand, it looks beautiful. Very pigmented and shiny. But if you put that much on your lips it would be a mess that ran everywhere. It does have a nice lip feel though, really smooth and not sticky. It has peppermint oil in it too so it has a really nice flavour. That's probably the only thing I like about this! I find this has such a short staying power on my lips, it's gone within 20 minutes even without eating and drinking.
I'm glad I didn't waste a whole heap of money trying this out. I really don't think it's worth buying at all and I could never recommend this to anyone.
The packaging is quite nice and simple. There is a strong peppermint smell as it does contain peppermin oil. A lot of people say that this is a dupe for too faced melted lipsticks but it is quite different in my opinion. It is like a gloss but the staying power is virtually non-existent. Overall, the colours are quite fun but I would not rely on this for an all day look.
