Mellow Liquid Lip Paint Review

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.

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!

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)

After learning about Mellow from BR, I decided to purchase one of their liquid lipsticks from their site. The colour I have is New York, which is a rich, dark, bold, plum shade.

The lipsticks come in a clear, glass tube, with a gold lid, and Mellow written in gold on the glass. The applicator is a doe foot, and it makes the lipstick really easy to apply, and really easy to draw on your lips with.

The formula is nice and thick, and not streaky (unlike some other liquid formulas), and lasts pretty well. After wearing it for a while I only noticed it had warn off in the corners of my mouth through drinking.

The formula also feels nice and light on the lips. It is not sticky, or very drying for a matte lipstick. I am proud that such lipsticks have been created in New Zealand and I cannot wait to own more shades!

I got this as part of Best Beauty Box Ever "The Nudes" box in Shanghai. It is a touch dark for my taste but a bold neutral. It is beautifully matte and lasts well, although as it says on the pack do not expect it to survive oily food.

The packaging is pretty and application is easy but you need a liner to keep it looking tidy. It is an excellent introduction to a matte lip look and very good value for money.

I don't own pink lipsticks or liquid lipsticks so when this came up in the vault I knew I had to give it ago and step out of my comfort zone.

London is a very rich pink and is quite bright on myself, I don't know how much wear I'll get out of it for myself but have put it aside for when I feel like being a little bold! I however purchased it again for my kit as well for other reasons.

The formula is lightweight, it's not a thick lip paint and apply beautifully to the lip. Drying almost matte but not completely. I find there is some transfer.

It's long wearing! Other than having to re apply it after eating it really lasts the whole day without having to do to much to it at all.

The packaging is beautiful. Simple but elegant. Clear tube so you can see what's in the tube and a gold lid. Standard for foot although I use a brush to apply it.

Other than this just not being my colour I can't fault it. Mellow have done a great job with this shade.

Mellow is a fantastic Australian company that was built from the ground up by an every day woman and mother of two. I think she’s done an amazing job in the last few years and I think Mellow’s products are fantastic. Not only are they vegan and cruelty free, they actually do what they say too.

In terms of these liquid lip paints I give them 5/5. I always compare any liquid lip paint (especially the matte ones) with Colourpop’s products. I love the latter because they stay on all day and aren’t cakey, and I can tell you that Mellow’s lip paints are much the same. They come in a gorgeous range of shades, albeit a small range. As for price, they’re definitely not as expensive as many other lesser known brands and certainly nowhere near as expensive as the big name brands. If you spend over a certain amount there is a free shipping option too so take advantage of that and stock up. The names are also quite cool.

I’d say check out their Instagram too for news and to see what collaborations they’re up to at the moment. Also check out their eyeshadow palettes cos they’re amazing!

I was lucky enough to pick this up in the last vault, and it fast became a favorite.

This color is pastel brownish nude tone. I feel that it looks surprisingly glamorous on the lips, I love it and I reach for it a lot when i’m wearing a full face of makeup. It looks really bizzare however, if you’re wearing a very minimal amount of makeup, you gotta go heavy to pull it off.

The packaging is simple, practical and stylish, with a sturdy plastic tube and a traditional, ‘regular’ sized doe-foot applicator.

The consistency is quite creamy, glides on smoothly and dries quickly. It’s not quite opaque, but nearly after a couple of coats. It feels really light on my lips and is non-drying.

Wear wise, touch ups are required after eating, but it seems to cling on reasonably well.

I love this lip paint, this color, and i’m setting my sights on a few more colors from the range.

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 have been delving in the liquid lipstick range for a little while now. I'm glad to have my hands on this brand. It comes in a sleek tube that has the logo branding in gold writing down the tube with a gold lid which has the doe foot applicator inside it. The shade is a deep brown nude which is nice but more a fall shade since we are now meant to be in spring however I'd still wear it. The application is quite simple & easy ti glides onto the lips not streakh ir sticky at all nor is it pathy. Such a good quality of application. As it sits on the lips it again doesn't have a sticky or slick feeling & having a matte finsih it doesn't seem to suck they hydration from my lips at all. Doesn't feel or show any sign of cracking in the lips. Has very good pigmentation & has a good length of longevity does need to be topped up after greasy meals but would uphold a few drinks of coffee. I'd happily repurchase from this brand again. It isn't a creamy lipstick such as Ofra but definitely a goody.
