Mellow Liquid Lip Paint Review

I should confess, I fell in love with these before I even tried them - the colours are just so incredible!

But I have now got two different shades - a pale pink (Rome) and a dark purple (Tokyo). I was really surprised to find the formula was a lot creamier than any lip paints I've tried before, but this is great for my dry lips. The colours were really intense and it seems like with a little patience to allow layers to dry, you could build them up to an amazing intensity.

On the downside I did find the lip paint didn't stay put particularly well, instead wiping off on things even when I expected it would be well and truly dry. Also because of the intensity of colour it is going to take a very steady hand to apply it properly (instead of just the quick job I did today as soon as the package arrived in the mail!), as I had darker bits where more product had come off the brush.

But patience and practice pay off with beauty products (I'm looking at you, liquid eyeliner!), so I'm sure with a bit of practise I'll find these the most amazing product in my arsenal!

I have the matte Mellow lip paint in Milan, a dusky pink nude colour. The formula is really nice and creamy, it applies really well without smudging, I can get quite precise lines which is nice. Once on the paint feels very light and isn't drying at all despite the matte finish. The colour barely transferred onto anything all day although I did notice after a couple of hours it had worn away a bit on my lower lip, but given the nude colour you couldn't tell at a glance. I am very very interested in trying more colours from the Mellow matte range.

I haven't tried these lip pains before and picked it up in the vault.

It comes in a box with gold writing. Which I don't think is needed really if the put a decent seel over the lid.

I love this colour. I found it a bit tricky with the sponge applicator I would have preferred a brush in it.

It goes on well and lasted a decent amount of time given eating and drinking was still pretty good.

Definitely make sure you have exfoliated your lips first as I noticed dry patches stood out a bit.

Going to check out the other colours

I recieved this in the latest BR vault but unfortunately I wont be using it again and I gave it to my daughter. I love the packaging, I love the quality and consistency of the product but London is just too pinky for me. I was so looking forward to loving this item but I'm glad that I know what colours to go for next time.

I am not a lippie wearer but when I saw this in the Beauty Vault I decided to give this a go. I am so glad I did as it is fantastic. I got the shade Milan which is a pretty pink colour.

It comes in a clear tube with a gold lid. Simple but attractive. It has a doe foot applicator which makes applying so easy especially for beginners like myself.

I found it was quite creamy and applied to my lips like a dream. I have dry lips so was a bit worried at how it would look. There was no patchiness at all and it was very nourishing on my lips. There was no sticky feeling and it dried quite quick.

I found it lasted quite long on me and did not have much transfer at all. I did not have to reapply and the only wear I could see was in the corners of my mouth at the end of the night.

I love that Mellow is made in NZ and is cruelty free. I would love to try more colours from this range.

I was fortunate enough to grab this baby from the latest vault. I have wanted at least one of these for such a long time!

I have not really used a lot of lip paints but I am happy I got this as it is one of my favourite lip colours.

It comes in a very classy clear glass tube with a stunning gold lid. You can see how much you have which is a bonus, so you can see when you need a new one.

It has a sponge applicator which holds a good amount of product. It goes on very well and dries to a fabulous matte finish.

The lasting power I found was to be amazing. I didnt have to re-apply as often as I usually would wearing a lipstick. I always use a make up remover to take off my make up and I do need it for this lip paint.

I am very happy with this lip paint and will be purchasing more colours to add to my collection.

Received this in the last BR vault haul. By reputation and a couple of other products that I have tried from Mellow, I had relatively high expectations for this product.

Packaging has a gold top and a see through barrel so you can see the shade of lip product. The shade name is on the bottom. Doe foot applicator. No scent, not that I can smell anyway.

Application: Smooth, easy and even. Not patchy, or sticky at all, no need for second application. Dries down in a couple of minutes. Finished look is flawless. A firm top 5 of my lip products. I would repurchase and would like to try other shades in the range.

I got this lip paint in the Best Beauty Gamble Ever. I've tried the London shade and found it pretty good, so I was happy to try New York.

This product comes in a clear glass bottle with a gold lid, the same as the London shade, so the product is visible through the glass.

It applies with a soft tip on the end of the wand that connects to the bottle cap. It is easy to apply.

The New York shade is a very loud, deep, plum colour. I love it, but it is incompatible with my skin tone unfortunately. I did try wearing but it completely swamped my pale face. Blotting it as much as I could did help a bit, but not enough for me to wear it in public. Like the other shade, it needs oil to remove it.

All up a pretty good product, but I won’t use it again because the colour is too much for my skin.If I was going to repurchase it, $20 seems a fair price. I like that it applies easily and doesn’t bleed. A good product overall.

I was lucky enough to get the shade "london" from the beauty vault - I actually had no idea what colour it was but it's a lovely rose pink!

I actually am not a fan usually of liquid lipsticks as I find them too drying and usually by the end of it want to rip my lips off. This was NOT the case here.

Mellow lippies are soft and hydrating. Their still a tiny bit drying but nothing like others i've tried.

Good prep is still needed with a lip scrub and a nice balm but overall I really enjoyed these. The lippy lasted 8+ hours through meetings WITH me drinking coffee. So A+ for staying power.
