Like you saw in my haul, I picked these up to review. I am guilty of ignoring this brand but we all know this has been around for such a long time, I mean I need to indulge and decide how I like them, and so far I am very happy. I picked up two of these shades as i love these long last lipstick but all my older ones have dried and it was time I pick some more to try.
The interesting thing about these are the balms they come with, instead of the gloss. the color is a peachy brick and I love it to death, it does not have any shimmer and love how it looks on its own too and of course the balm is required to make it look fresh and tempting.
The lipstick of course is like a paint, it is very thick and you have to apply an even and thin coat, thick coat can be avoided as later it would rub off and flake and you might have to literally scrape it off to remove it.On its own it dries up in 30 secs and feels very sticky and taut, so next comes the balm.
The balm is an absolute delight, it is like a gloss in a balm stick. You need to apply it on the matte paint,to refresh the look and to keep lips looking and feeling non-dry,honestly my lips did not get dry they just look dry with the paint on and with the balm, my lips felt like wearing no lip color at all.The balm is clear and after application the lip color looks very normal, no one would know it is like a paint.
I find it very comfy and not at all drying, you can reapply the balm after two hours if you need but what happened with me is that after two hours and a meal, the inside of the lip was bare again, the flakes started to come off and I had to remove the lip color as only the lip line had color,over time I guess the paint melted from the centre. I highly suggest you check on the color after meals and reapply if needed, do not count it as a long last color if you have meals, without meals it could go on for 4 hours.
I am so much in love with the product and the shade I enjoy the application of these long last paints a lot, since many years.They get uneven and patchy and have to be applied very thin, but I am ready to forgive everything about the cons and still purchase some more, the paint is very nice and even to apply, and I dont mind removing the flakes later and then reapply the product.
I dont find them drying at all! These would cover pigmented lips very well, and I know they flake off and have to be removed with oil or vaseline, despite that I would buy more of these, most of you would hate the paint feel it gives.The lip lines would show up a lot too.
with and without lip balm:
Last word:
I can confidently say this is a “love or hate” product. I love it to death even with all its cons, its unconditional love because I enjoy wearing colors that dry on and then need to coat a gloss or balm. i also know that most of us hate such products, so it your pick, needless to say the color is gorgeous, I am going to buy more of these. I also dont mind applying some other gloss or balm or sheer lip color on top of the matte paint if I have to wear it for a short while.
4.5/5 (love or hate?)
