I tried these lipsticks a while ago and
I did recently de-clutter them all (April). I thought I would still share the
swatches with you for reference. I only de-cluttered them because I didn’t use
them, not because I didn’t like them.

These matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t
to be long lasting and stay on for twelve hours. They should also have intense
colour pay-off and be non-drying to the lips. The arrow shaped applicator is
mean’t to make it easy and more precise to apply the product to your lips. You
can purchase them for £9.99 each from Boots, Superdrug, FeelUnique.com, Target
and Ulta.
My First Impressions
They are kind of sticky/tacky when you
first apply them, but they do dry down, apart from in the corners of your
mouth. It does seem to take a while for them to dry down though. The dark
colours are longer lasting than the lighter shades. They do last for hours,
longer if you do not eat or drink anything, but I didn’t get to test them for a
straight twelve hours. The arrow applicator does make it easy to apply and I
find that one dip of product is enough to do your whole lips; you may want to
dip in again for the darker shades. I always prepare my lips with lip scrub and
then apply lip balm before lipstick anyway, so that they provide a nice smooth
canvas for the lipstick to glide on to. I also use lip scrub and lip balm again
after I have removed liquid lipstick, I find this helps prevent my lips from
feeling dry. A liquid lipstick can claim not to dry out your lips, but I find
my lips always feel dry after removing liquid lipstick regardless (hence double
scrub & balm - prevention is better than a cure!). Overall, they are the
best drugstore liquid lipsticks I have tried so far, but they do not beat my current
favourite higher end ones (Jeffree Star Cosmetics).
