Jeffree Star Liquid Lipsticks Review

I have been coveting these lipsticks for some time now and finally made my first purchase last month! I am super impressed with them.

Packaging: Straight off the bat, this is the best liquid lipstick packaging I've seen. I love the shorter, fatter tubes and the thick, heavy duty acrylic. They feel high quality and look really nice. I appreciate that the body is clear so that you can see the colour easily, this makes finding colours much more simple. The lid twists with ease and clicks into place so you know it's shut properly, I have had no issue with these leaking even when travelling. The doe foot applicator is one that I haven't really seen before, it's much more thick and fluffy compared to others, it also has a dip in the slanted portion to hold product for application - however I do think these wands pick up too much product and do require wiping off. The wand is flexible but not flimsy and it kind of hugs the curves of your lips, though the size could be an issue for people with smaller lips. Also appreciated is the shade name clearly printed on the bottom of the tube.

Product: Starting with the scent, I have recently seen some people complaining about a bad smell but all of mine have a subtle 'cosmetic' type scent, slightly chemical but not overwhelming and it doesn't linger after application. The texture of the lipstick is quite thin, thinner than I expected but it's not a bad thing. It allows you to apply in thin, even layers to get an opaque finish. It's not too liquid-y in that it will run when applying but it's not like those thicker, more mousse type liquid lipsticks. This formula takes a good minute or so to dry down completely which is nice, it gives you wiggle room to get a perfect application and fix any mistakes. It also isn't sticky! That is one thing I loathe with liquid lipsticks, this one truly does dry down to a velvety matte finish.

Performance: I am glad Jeffree didn't claim for these to be transfer resistant or bullet proof because they certainly are not. This is where it lost some points, not because they are faults in my book but because they are often things people look for in liquid lipsticks. I've found that these fade a considerable amount on the inner lips when eating, oily food or not they do disappear. They do transfer but not significantly, no where near as much as a traditional lipstick. But for me the redeeming factor is that you can reapply over the existing product, so many liquid lipsticks cake up or flake and crumble when reapplied, these do not.

Overall: I am in love! I currently have four shades - Posh Spice, Dominatrix, Abused and Androgyny - and I plan on picking up a couple more and hopefully he'll bring out more beautiful shades! I highly recommend these if you don't mind the shorter wear time, they're gorgeous and surprisingly comfortable for a matte!

I absolutely adore these lipsticks. The formula is great. They go on easily, are long lasting and they are so comfortable. You almost forget you are wearing them. They come in an amazing variety of colours. My favourite is Redrum and is my go to red lipstick. I just love them.

I saw these gorgeous lipsticks by Jeffree Star and really wanted them. Had to talk myself into going out of my comfort zone but the colour just sang out to me and so I purchased one in the colour Dreamhouse - the colour description is that of Barbie's Blood lol.

Packaging: Comes in the most gorgeous tube and because the tube is transparent you can see the true colour and it pretty much shows up that colour on your lips. Hope that warble made sense ha ha ha.

Formula: I find this a gorgeous creamy consistency and a really big bonus for me is that it isn't sticky. I hate that so much. Also once it is applied it goes matte so it stays put on your lips.

Usability: Very user friendly, just your usual standard (although super pretty) lipstick tube with the lip applicator. Glides on easily but I would recommend you glide the applicator on the tube top to get some of the formula off as a little goes a long way and ends up too thick on your lips.

Scent or Flavour: I don't remember it having a scent or fragrance of any kind which is great if you prefer your lip products to be unflavoured or unscented.

Pigmentation: Wow, the pigmentation and shade is amazing. Such a pretty bright pink with a slight shimmer in it. Staying power is pretty good too.

A future purchase? Most definitely, the price is pretty good especially when it is on special. I would love to try a couple of other colours too.

I purchased this because it looked pretty and the claims of how well the liquid worked was too much to bear but due to it's high demand I had to wait a while to get my hands on the one I have, but it will not be the last. Currently waiting on restocking of colours to add to my collection.

Shade: Red Rum (only one for now!!!)

Packaging wise this is so darn cute!! From the chunky clear acrylic outer casing, to the inner container that is shaped like a lipstick bullet that contains the liquid in the colour of your choice. The bright pink chunky lid that unscrews to reveal an odd little shaped doe foot applicator tip that has a slight slant and flatness to it that is a little hard to explain. And finally the Jeffree Star gold star logos that feature on the lid and outer casing, as well as on the bright pink packaging the lipstick comes in. Its all just screams quality and shows how much love and thought has gone into creating it without sacrificing the quality of the actual product or being too expensive to purchase.

Formula wise this is how liquid lipsticks should be!! the liquid state is perfectly balanced to allow you to get a smooth even coat with one move across the lips, there is no dragging from the liquid drying too quickly, or is there any spills from the liquid being to fluid. The applicator tip, oddly shaped as it is, is perfect to get the angle right for the full lips to the tapered thinner lips, and makes filling in the cupid bow easy, so your application is fast and seamless. Once dried, you need to let it dry onto lips before you close your mouth or you will get flaky bits but it dries really quick. The finish is a touchable matte, eat/drink proof and kiss proof (within reasons you are not going to mark someone's cheek if you peck them, or lips with a soft kiss, but go full on make out and this sucker will move) The finish feels like a latex layer on your lips which isn't to say that is bad it just that you can feel it where you normally wouldn't notice normal lipsticks on your lips, it moves with your lips so it doesn't crack, or fade or smudge off.

Removal is easy at the end of the day, just a wipe of a makeup removing wipe or 2 and its all gone. It isn't very drying on your lips but if you already suffer from chapped lips or dryness there I would pop on some lip balm first, and always exfoliate after wearing and then put on some balm to plump and hydrate again.

When androgyny arrived in my Beautylish lucky bag I wasn't that enthused by it after having heard about all "The Drama" by the creator Jeffree Star, so buying this willingly was probably not going to happen. But since it arrived with the bag I would give it a go.

The look of the tube is supposed to attract the eye with a pink top and clear body, the liquid lipstick colour is easily visible in there with the inside shaped into a U shape rather than following the outside line of the tube. The writing on the tube is in light metallic pink, making them highly identifiable.

The liquid itself felt rather thin in application compared with a normal lipstick. The doe foot applicator is also a little bigger than most other doe foots I have seen, my Revlon matt hd is the only other big applicator I have. The product glides on quickly and easily before drying down matte. Once dry there is minor transfer with the lipstick getting a tacky feel. I found the tackiness was less when compared to a lip gloss and it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I found that this lasted against most things except oil or fat, so touch ups weren't really necessary. It also had a slight drying effect on my lips, again not a deal breaker but something to watch out for.

I am slightly torn on buying more of this brand, if I was to get another in a lucky bag I would wear it but I don't know if I would go and buy this brand intentionally.

I can honestly eat anything with these lipsticks on and confidently bet that it wont budge. These are my go to date lipsticks as I find they never transfer either. The wand it the perfect size to apply and get into the cupids bow.

Wow is all i can say bout Jefree Star and the entire brand and range of these lipsticks.

Mine dried fast and wasn't too runny so application wasn't too bad.

The stay power is what i was impressed with, all day it stayed put, i was very aware of y lipstick so perhaps was kinder to it than most days when i throw on a lip stain and call it a day.

The colours are all vibrant and for blogging i found they photograph beautifully, also eat when out as they most def turn heads in the best of ways.

i have officially got 2 of each colour in the range and have had one for me personally and the others for my professional kit.

When I saw that these were released on complexion.co.nz I knew I had to purchase the purple shade which is I'm royalty because it looked like lime crime pansy which I don't own so can't do a comparison on colour.

The tubes are very unique as they are short and thick with the ends being bright pinkwith silver stars. This liquid lipstick is easy to find in my drawer which is great if you have quite a large collection like myself.

I personally love this doe foot applicator as it has a pointy slanted end for hard to reach places and it helps to glide the product on in one swipe.

The formula has a thick texture which makes it super opaque. But it applies very evenly and has an am amazingly long wear time. It dries quite quickly also. It doesn't make my lips look awfully dry like some other brands do. When I wore this for the first time I had a few people saying quite a rude remark because this is definitely a Barney purple.

I do absolutely love this but for me it isn't a daytime lip color but does make one neck of a statement for a nighttime look.

I have two of these liquid lipsticks. Masochist and Hoe Hoe Hoe which was part of the Christmas 2015 limited edition and then got renamed Rich Blood and made part of the permanent collection. I really love both colors.

Masochist - Is a bright berry red but like a very dark fuschia shade. It's a pinky red shade. This one is completely matte.

Rich Blood - Not a bright red but not a burgundy. It's sort of blue based and has a slightly cool undertone. While most of J Star's liquid lipsticks are matte this one has a slight purple shimmer to it. It's like a good sultry, Christmas red but I think almost any skin shade can pull this color off. I do find the consistency of this liquid slightly more wet than the other one and this shade seems to transfer and bleed a bit more than the other shade.

The think I love about these liquid lipsticks is that it goes very opaque the color stays for a long time on your lips, plus the shades are gorgeous. I find this brand a little less drying than another brand of liquid lipstick however, it does feel a bit more tacky in texture on once applied. I find I have a lot of color still on my lips like four hours easily without fading. However, if I do the kiss test on my hand or someone or drink water there is transfer. I find that a bit annoying especially since it says kisses are okay when you look up each shade on the site. Despite that I find I still have a lot of color still on my lips despite transfer. If I eat even food with no oil the lipstick will wear off in the middle, but considering I ate I still have a lot color on my lips. Another downside with this liquid lipstick is once I start eating I find it bleeds and transfers all around my mouth. To be honest I never really had a problem with lipstick bleeding with any other brand. I don't own any of the light shades in J Star's range so I don't know if it's just the dark shades that do this. I really do want Androgyny and Gemini at some point so I guess I'll find out if it's just the reds and darker shades or if the more neutral tones have the problem as well. I do like that it is long lasting and that it's cruelty free and vegan, but I don't feel I can give it five stars considering the price and promises plus the fact that it bleeds.

Although I usually try to avoid hype when a product is lauded as 'the next best thing', when I saw JS's shade Abused I decided to purchase it.

Abused is a deep navy - almost black chase, with a hint of grey. It's a super unique colour and unlike anything I have in my collection.malthough I broke my strict no spend to purchase this I haven't regretted it.

This comes in a rad looking blue box with stars on it. The lipstick itself was smaller than what I expected - for some reason it looked rather large in videos I had seen. Either way, the packaging is fun and quirky, with a bright pink lid and a translucent tube that allows you to see the product inside.

The doe foot applicator is slightly different to other brands with liquid lipsticks. It is really soft and feels like it hugs your lips as you apply the lipstick. It feels really nice and allows for perfect application without any mess.

The lipstick itself is super pigmented, opaque and matte. It takes a few minutes to dry. I like that it takes slightly longer than other brands I have used, as this allows you to fix any mistakes. Once dry though, this won't move! It is amazing. This is by far the longest lasting lipstick I have used. I wore this for 11 hours straight and ate and drank, and had to reapply it only once.

One thing I love about this formula is that you can layer it. What I mean is if you need to reapply it then you can just apply it on top of your first layer, the formula doesn't go funny or bunch up like I have had happen with other brands.

Because this is matte it is drying. In saying that, this is one of the more comfortable matte lipsticks I have worn. However, if you don't like dry lips at all then I wouldn't recommend this.

Overall I adore this lipstick. The formula is amazing, the staying power is incredible and the colour is beautiful and unique. The one thing I dislike about this is the price - they are expensive lipsticks. In saying that though, you only need one coat of this per application so I envision this lasting a while.

I'll definitely purchase from this brand again and very much recommend it.
