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.
I have been a HUGE Jeffree star fan for years, and when he announced he would be releasing his own liquid lipstick range I was beside myself! I purchased 2 from Complexions, they were Redrum and Prom night. A couple weeks later Jeffree Star announced that he was releasing more shades so I timed the date of the release so I could purchase Unicorn blood and Celebrity Skin.
The tubes are short and thick and the ends are bright pink with silver stars, I find these lipsticks easy to find in my mountain of lipsticks and the applicator has a pointy slanted end for hard to reach places, and you can change the application of the brush by tilting your hand slighting to cover more area.
REDRUM: It is the brightest red I have ever seen, the formula is slightly watery but it is overloaded with pigmentation, because of the wateriness of this one I find lining my lips with lip liner first before going in with my liquid lipstick stops it from bleeding. Less is definitely more with this lipstick. For wear time it is very good, no residue when you eat or drink, if you run your lips along something you will get a slight amount of lipstick on there.
PROM NIGHT: This remind me of Barbie pink, it is so bright, and the formula of this one is slightly thicker in texture, you don't have to line your lips prior to using this as it doesn't bleed and the wear time is fantastic. Once its dry you can rub your lips and it is smudge proof.
CELEBRITY SKIN: This peachy nude is a beautiful color, this one I was quite disappointed in because even though the color is amazing, the formula is different. It is very creamy and velvety when you apply it to your lips but very drying. As much as I love this color after a few hours (2 at the most) it is so dry I have to remove it as it starts flaking off. I have tried applying less product or applying more product, prepping my lips with balm and/or powder but it doesn't matter. This color is my absolute favorite and I wear it alot but I cant wear it for very long which is very sad for me.
UNICORN BLOOD: This a dark red color, reminds me of dried blood but in the nicest way. The formula is not too thick and not too thin, and it is very pigmented. This isn't a completely smudge proof lipstick so if I'm going out to dinner or anything I line my lips and take this lipstick with me. Pecking people on the cheek leaves a small amount of lipstick (this has happened a few times) and when you eat the inside of your lipstick wears off. It isnt super noticeable but you know its there.
Overall these liquid lipsticks are incredible and are my most favorite liquid lipsticks to date and I own about 25 liquid lipsticks. Compared to the other liquid lipsticks I own, the formula is much better, the wear time is alot longer, the only thing I am sad about is the dryness of Celebrity skin.
Tips: When I remove these at the end of the day I use a makeup wipe with a drop of my Tailor Oil cleanse, it removes it like a breeze. Then I rub my lips with lip balm.
