Mellow Liquid Lip Paint Review

I received this in a beauty box and got it randomly in colour Sydney.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE (LOVE!!) it. The colour is the perfect nude for me with a slight orange tone. It goes on well and doesn't dry the heck out of your lips. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Thank you BR for the opportunity to grab this during the vault, I had been eyeing these lip paints since before they even launched so I am stoked to get my hands on one!

Packaging: Clear acrylic tube with a gold lid and gold lettering. The quality is lovely, it doesn't feel cheap and light in your hands, it has a bit of weight to it. The stopper is brilliant too, sometimes I find that liquid lipstick stoppers are too big and let through a lot of product but this one is perfect (and it doesn't get messy!) I appreciate the fact that they've labelled the name on the bottom of the tube as it's discrete and doesn't take away from the look of the lipstick.

Applicator: This has a traditional doe foot applicator and it's nothing special but boy is it brilliant. It's not overly fluffy or fuzzy which I like because there's no chance of product smearing outside of the lines. It's small and quite hard which allows for perfect precision and picks up a good amount of product.

Formula: Let's get one thing straight, this is NOT a liquid to matte lipstick, it is a matte lip cream. It goes on beautifully, not too thick and not too liquidy, the consistency is just right. It's not fully opaque but it's not thin and watery either, two coats will get you the desired look. Once applied the lipstick is very creamy but has a soft satin feel, it's not so wet that you have to be afraid of it bleeding. As time goes by the product dries a bit and settles into a gorgeous velvet matte, it's not sticky or wet but you can still rub your lips together. This is not transfer proof! The formula is neither drying nor hydrating and it lasted well for 4 hours before I took it off.

Scent & Taste: There is a faint scent, it's lightly sweet but quite chemical, it does not linger once on the lips though. I didn't notice a taste at all but I try not to lick my lips when wearing lip products.

Shade: Puerto Rico is a gorgeous mid tone nude that leans on the cool to neutral side. It's quite taupey brown and is very flattering on my skin tone.

Overall: This was so super comfortable on the lips, it didn't accentuate dry patches or pull into any lines. It wore well, didn't make my lips feel parched and it didn't flake. I love the classy, simplistic packaging and the price is incredible for NZ. Definitely recommend.

Liquid lipsticks have become massive in the beauty world, and even more so when the liquid lipsticks have a matte finish. There are so many brands coming to the 'Liquid Lipstick' party and there are so many formulas around. Let me says this from the get go, Mellow Cosmetics have made an amazing product.

This liquid lip paint come in such pretty packaging. They come in slender tubes with gold lids. Simply and classy. They have a doe foot applicator which has a nice shape and I actually find this applicator is really easy to use too.

The formula of these are lovely. To me, they are a combination of the Ofra Liquid lipsticks and the Jefree Star Liquid Lipsticks. They are pigmented, long wearing and are so comfortable on the lips which is a huge factor for me when I chose, and wear liquid lipsticks.

I have a few colours and I have to say, I love them all. My favourites are the nudey-toned ones because I am still scared of colour (give me time, and I'm sure I will be able to rock a cool-tone Barbie Pink lip, but that day is not today). My favourite colours are Tehran, Budapest, and Shanghai because they are so wearable. The colour New York is next on my list (and I know its a bold shade... but I need it. Lets hope I'll have the courage to wear it out of the house).

I love that this liquid lip paint is so amazing and is made by a New Zealand brand. These are some of the best liquid lipsticks I have tried, and they are so easy to get your hands on as well. They are definitely worth a try.

I was lucky enough to get the shade "london" from the beauty vault - I actually had no idea what colour it was but it's a lovely rose pink!

I actually am not a fan usually of liquid lipsticks as I find them too drying and usually by the end of it want to rip my lips off. This was NOT the case here.

Mellow lippies are soft and hydrating. Their still a tiny bit drying but nothing like others i've tried.

Good prep is still needed with a lip scrub and a nice balm but overall I really enjoyed these. The lippy lasted 8+ hours through meetings WITH me drinking coffee. So A+ for staying power.

Thank you Beauty Review for having this in the Rewards Vault, without it I would probably not have tried this liquid lip product.

First the packaging is simple, not overstated and yet sturdy (the courier tried their hardest I am sure). It is a clear sleek liquid lippy tube with shiny gold lid and print. Easy to apply doe foot liquid applicator applies the liquid with ease and it smooths on like butter with great precision.

The colour is a little darker than I thought at first but it looks like a slightly more chocolate nude on my lips with slight grey-ish undertones. I really like how it feels on, not drying but yet it stays put for those kisses, does come off a bit when eating and drinking and it does need re-application after lunch.

I am actually really impressed by this lip product that I am already eyeing up other colours in the range (Tehran and Tokyo are top of my list)

I was fortunate enough to grab this baby from the latest vault. I have wanted at least one of these for such a long time!

I have not really used a lot of lip paints but I am happy I got this as it is one of my favourite lip colours.

It comes in a very classy clear glass tube with a stunning gold lid. You can see how much you have which is a bonus, so you can see when you need a new one.

It has a sponge applicator which holds a good amount of product. It goes on very well and dries to a fabulous matte finish.

The lasting power I found was to be amazing. I didnt have to re-apply as often as I usually would wearing a lipstick. I always use a make up remover to take off my make up and I do need it for this lip paint.

I am very happy with this lip paint and will be purchasing more colours to add to my collection.

I have only tried a couple of liquid lipsticks but I think the quality of Mellow's Lip Paints rivals the other high end brands. It's not completely transfer proof but it's not drying and long wearing and very pigmented. It doesn't go flakey or come off in patches like some of the drier liquid lipsticks or bleed or creep up my face like another very popular non-drying brand.

I've eaten a full meal that had some somewhat oily foods with these on all that happens is that it wears off a bit in the middle like any lipstick would. But I could rub my lips together it was less noticeable. I think if you like liquid lipsticks but don't want one that's really drying then this is brand you should look into especially given the price.

Purchased the lip paint in the shade 'IBIZA' it is a gorgeous nude shade, but I hate the formula of these, its like tinted water. It slides right off my lips and is impossible to build up as any product that stays on flakes off shortly after. Super disappointed as this looked to be the perfect nude, just a weird formula.

I picked this up in a vault and was initially disappointed because it's described as a bright pink. It's not a true bright pink. It's like a dusky rose, pretty, but certainly not a bright pink a la the 'BR pink'. Once I got over that, I realised that the 'pretty' outweighed the 'not the right pink' and it's actually a lovely wee lipstick. I also have Budapest and New York, and the range overall is consistently good.

The packaging is simple but classy - clear tube, gold cap and labelling. The product appears the same in the tube as it does on skin. The applicator is long, with a doe foot, and it tends not to get as messy as some can.

The product is a mid consistency, meaning that one main coat is often enough, with a little added to the edges to sharpen the lines where needed. it dries down soon enough - but this is an area that they could improve on slightly. Once dried, longevity is good, and wear is even, with a slight stain left behind.

The scent is there but negligible , nothing to write home about.

Definitely worth a look if you're in the market for liquid lippies. I wish they'd make the 'Candy Floss' shade (now THATs a proper pink) in this formula.

I like Mellow cosmetics products and when they released that they were bringing out a range of liquid lipsticks, I was over the moon! On their website they have added different currencies too, USD and AUD which is a great idea for people living overseas.

They cost about $21 each and if you spend over $40 you get free shipping. I had a little trouble with the website as I couldn't sign into my old account but it was good to know that the Team over at Mellow cosmetics had sorted this out so I could complete my order.

I chose 3 shades out of the 10 shades they have made. The shades were Tokyo, Puerto rico and Shanghai.

Tokyo- A dark deep purple shade. I love this shade very much, it is dark, it is vampy and is very pigmented. One swipe of this and you have a dark opaque shade of purple. The only downfall with this shade is it starts to chip on the inside of your mouth. The way to go around this is to add lip liner underneath the lipstick, focusing on the inside of your mouth. It acts as a barrier and prevents it from chipping off. What I like about this shade is it doesn't bleed, I have found a few dark liquid lipsticks that bleed but this one stays inside the lines of your lips.

Puerto rico- A grey beige nude, this has been my dupe for Jeffree stars Posh spice only slightly darker. I have a medium skin tone (MAC NC30) and find if I wear this alone it is quite similar to my lip colour, I use a slightly darker lip liner compared to this lipstick just to create some dimension in my lips and it doesn't make it look so washed out with the grey.

Shanghai- A chestnut brown shade, this would be my most favorite lipstick. It adds a bit of warmth to the lips without it being too dark or light. This applies very easily and is moisturizing on the lips.

Overall these liquid lipsticks are amazing, the pigmentation is perfect and they glide on beautifully. The foot of the application is hard and makes applying these very easy, especially Tokyo because its so dark. I like these because they apply wet but they take longer than usual (compared to other liquid lipsticks) to dry. It gives you time to remove any mistakes and doesn't set into your lips like other do which prevents staining. They're all moisturizing on the lips and dont make my lips feel dry. I am only slightly disappointed in Tokyo because it cracks in the middle but with a little preparation you can prevent that from happening.

I will be purchasing more!
