I bought this at my local pharmacy one of those last minute purchases as it was staring at me from the counter at only $9.00 it was hard to refuse – I choose this in shade “whisper”.
This is packaged in a plastic tube with a gold lid quite a decent sized lip product with the typical angled tip for application.
First time I went to use this I ended up with wayyyy to much product!!. Squeeze only very gently at the tube otherwise you end up with a whole bunch of lip product on your lip!.
Whisper is a pinky based beige/nude colour my favourite kind of nude.
The consistency wise is quite a runny liquid but at the same time it is highgly pigmented. This glided on silky smooth but I did find that in this colour you really had to blend it in or it kind of had a bit of a weird patchy bit on the inside of your lip – I seem to get this with nude colours though so it may be something with the nudes and my natural lip colour.
I absolutely love this colour though, another perfect pinky based nude for me. It felt great on the lips non drying and left a lovely glossy finish but still looked like a lipstick as opposed to a lip gloss.
It had a lovely minty smell to it which I actually really liked kind of reminds me more of a lip balm or conditioner in that respect.
Unfortunately the staying power however isnt really very long it did come off very fast and definitely wont hold up against eating and drinking.
However at this price I’m ok with that I’m not expecting miracles and I will be going back to purchase other colours in this range.
I bought into the hype around these after walking away from them several times, and ended up taking home an LA Girl Glazed Lip Paint in Seduce.
Seduce is a very pretty deep berry colour. These Lip Paints are entitled 'Glazed' and so as you'd expect the gloss factor is off the charts. They are beautiful colours and finishes, but the issues come in quickly. On application it's quite hard to control how much comes out of the applicator (if you can call a hole in a tube an applicator) and because they are on the thin side they bleed like crazy, making your lip line look messy. You need a lip liner and primer with these to tidy them up. Once on, they transfer like mad to anything your lips touch - but a stain does remain on your lips which, while it doesn't have the gloss finish, is still quite pretty. in fact, I've been known to apply it, remove the gloss layer and wear it as a stain.
These paints are mint scented. It's a really fresh clean scent, and great for if you need to freshen your mouth and lippy at the same time (after dinner, perhaps?) if a little on the odd side for a lipstick. I like it though.
All in all, I'll use this one, but doubt I'll buy another as they are fiddly and need a few steps to get them looking great.
