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 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.
