I had wanted to try these lipsticks for
a very long time, but I was sceptical as I had heard mixed reviews. Some people
love them, some people dislike them. I had also heard that they are very hard
to remove, which leads me to believe that the staying power must be there. My
current favourite liquid lipsticks are still the JSC Velour ones and nothing
else I have tried has topped them yet, a couple of brands have come close
though!
ABOUT THE PRODUCTS
The packaging of the lipsticks is
simple, but aesthetically pleasing; I like the blue accent caps.
It is made out of plastic and there is something inside the tube to make the
formula looked twisted in the tube, which is a nice detail that I haven’t seen
before. The applicator is a little pear shaped sponge with a little well in the
middle to hold the product.
The packaging of the remover is also pretty simple
and cute. The container is made of lightweight plastic and you could easily
repurpose it once you have used up the wipes.
You get 3.5ml of liquid lipstick in Crème
(C), Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) finishes. You get 50 oil based remover wipes.

MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The packaging of the lipsticks is cute
and the applicator is easy to use and apply product to your lips. The shades I
chose are beautiful and are exactly my type of shades. The formula is creamy
and it does dry down pretty quick, generally one coat looks great but you may
need two depending on the shade and how opaque you want it. They are long
wearing, but they definitely do fade when you eat and drink. They mostly fade
from the bottom lip, the top lip stays looking perfect. I found them relatively
easy to remove with just a warm damp cloth, although it was much easier with
the wipes. I did enjoy these lipsticks, but I don’t think I will purchase any
more of them as I still think the JSC ones are better.
I like the packaging for the lip whip
remover, but the product on a whole isn’t really revolutionary. It is just a
bunch of oils mixed together and left to soak up on little round wipes. Your
fingers will feel oily/greasy after using them. They do work really well and
are very fast working, but I feel like any oil based make-up remover could do
the same job, if not better. I wouldn’t buy them again, but they do work. I
didn’t really have that much of an issue removing the lip whips without these
wipes; a warm damp cloth is good enough for me! I would however recommend them
for lip swatches as they do remove every trace of product and your face doesn’t
look red afterwards, but for what I would use them for I am better off with my
warm damp cloth as I remove liquid lipstick at the end of the day when it has
already worn off a bit, so it doesn’t take much effort to remove anyway.
