So here is the list that I came up with as I wore this out on different occasions:
Pros:
1) Vibrant Color
- The color actually made my teeth look whiter than it actually was which was an added bonus.
- You can also choose the intensity of the color by applying different layers of the lipstick and then blotting with tissue paper:
- Lighter look: 1-2 layers of lipstick
- Darker: 3 layers of lipstick
- I had pizza with my friends on a night out and the lipstick stayed on the whole time without a top up.
4) Lips Didn't Feel Dry When Wearing It for Hours
- Usually, it's really easy for your lips to dry out when you have any lipstick but I have not felt the need to reach for my Vaseline at all when wearing this lipstick.
Cons:
1) It takes a really long time to dry (unless you blot your lips with tissue paper).
- In my experience, it takes an hour to dry if you don't blot the lipstick after applying it.
- With blotting and reapplying, it takes about 30 minutes to dry.
- Whenever I make a mistake, I have to have foundation and a wet wipe on standby so that I can wipe the error and then cover it with foundation because sometimes the lipstick stain doesn't come off.
- When removing this lipstick, I have to wipe hard and there is still some red staining on my lips.
Conclusion:
Despite that it can be a little messy (maybe because I don't have much experience with liquid lipsticks), I really like this product because the color is amazing and really good value for money.
When applying this, I use a cotton bud to achieve crisp and clean outlined lips. I also have naturally small lips so when I put this on, it made my lips look a lot bigger.
I don't think it's too expensive either considering that I've seen lipsticks that cost £20 that don't have this level of intensity of color.
On an additional note, I recently ran out of blusher so I used a spot of the lipstick (because it's highly pigmented) and mixed it with my moisturizer and it actually worked really well.
Rating: 8/10
They also have many other shades too so if this one doesn't match your skin tone (or maybe you want a different color), feel free to pick!
Hope this helps!
