Where to start! It took me so long to find such an amazing lip colour in matte for starters. I read about this brand over the Internet when I was looking at an American make up website. So I looked up if they sold these in NZ and they did! I found these for a reasonable price off pharmacy direct so I thought I would give them a try!!
The product comes in a nice thick tube, which makes it look expensive. The tube is high quality too, with a screw top as well so the lid doesn't unexpectedly come off in your handbag like other lip products do.
When I first put this on I fell in love, especially with this colour as it looked the best in the photos. The colour was neutral so it goes with pretty much any look and you can wear any day no matter what you are doing.
The first time I wore this, I was going out with friends for the night. It glides on smoothly like a normal lip gloss. It has a lip gloss type of application so it makes it easy to define your lips, and make them look more fuller.
The more you apply, the more intense the colour is and that is what I find great. The product looks like it is glossy when you apply, but dries quickly leaving you with a nice, full matte colour. As I was going out, I thought I would need to take this with me as I would need to apply through the night. But I left it at home! The most suprising thing I found with this lip gloss is that it stayed on the whole time I was out. This doesn't happen often with most lip products, so I knew from then on I found my perfect matte lip product.
Only problem I found with this product is after a few hours, the product does become quite sticky. Best thing to do is removing with make up remover and applying again for another round!
I love this product, I own this is 4 other colours and they all look great. This is my favourite colour though and as soon as I run out I will be sure to stock up again with this same product!
This is a lovely drugstore brand. I won this & am so happy about it. This is a good sized tube clear with brand logo writing on the outer the lid is black with it being also the applicator which is a doe foot. The applicator is also a longer then usual doe foot & slim. Making it easy to use for application. The lipstick is thick in consistency yet flowing but not too liquidy making it hard to manage. There is no scent that I can tell that is over powering in this product. The shade is a nude brown almost close dupe to serenity by Gerard Cosmetics. This goes on quite wet but dries as quick as it goes on & leaves the lips looking like matte leather that's what I reckon & is a bt tacky but not super tacky. It's quite pigmented & spreadable but not streaky which I like. I don't use a lipliner every time I use this & you really don't need to its doesn't bleed or feather. It's stay power is 6 hours with slight loss of pigmentation. It doesn't seem to dry my lips I like to use this for neutral looks or places where red lipstick is too bold lol. Overall the rave about these is well worth it the formulation of these are one of a kind they're not as good as my Gerard cosmetics formula they're more like a la splash but they don't flake off during wearing & the tacky feeling doesn't cause any stress during the day.
