Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick Review

I couldn't resist all the instagram photos showing up on a daily basis. Sad Girl called to me, and I wanted to try something a little more wearable - so I got Lovely as well.

I like the packaging, to me it's sleek and elegant. The applicator is a 'doe foot applicator'. It comes out holding quite a bit of product, a quick swipe to get take a little bit off it makes it easier to apply - it just glides on, so too much on the applicator makes a bit of a mess.

The formula is so creamy and as I said - glides on. So smooth. It feels a little strange to me while it's drying, almost oily. This is probably normal for a liquid lipstick, I haven't used many. They dry to matte fairly quickly, but leave a slight tackiness. It's not sticky, just ever so slight catch to it. They're a bit unforgiving on dry lips, showing up the lines on your lips, but it still looks great! (An extra layer in an attempt to cover that makes it too heavy and the lines look worse.)

It wears really well, I had 4 hours without any problem with Lovely, I'm sure it would have gone longer. Sad Girl was a little shorter wear time, (it's so bold that the wear shows more - but I did eat dinner while wearing it) After that it started to sort of collect on the slightly drier bit on the inner edge of my bottom lip. It wasn't hugely noticeable, but I could feel it starting to cake there.

Sad Girl is such a gorgeous shade. So many people say it's really unique - and that is just the best word to describe it! The website describes it as a "deep burgundy with purple iridescence." When that 'iridescence' catches the light it's just so gorgeous! It's bold, and quite vampy, but it's just...unique!! I have worn Lovely a lot more. It's just a sweet (I really wanted to write lovely!) "mauve pink" and I know it will stay in my more regular rotation of lipsticks.

All up - really impressed! I may (translates to definitely will) have to buy more!

I decided to pick me up one of these liquid lipsticks because they all looked amazing. The one that spoke out to me the most was retro coral which is a pink coral.

I love the packaging as it's sleek and elegant compared to many of the other brands of liquid lipsticks. The applicator is a doe foot applicator like many of the other brands that have there own liquid lipsticks but I find that it is a little bit thinner which makes it easier to apply on my lips.

The formula is so creamy it just glides on your lips without hassle. This liquid lipstick does take a little while for it to dry completely matte so it gives you enough time to even out the application. I have also found that this formula doesn't clump up on my lips or show up my fine lines on my lips.

This liquid lipstick seems to last on my lips all day or all night. If I do wear it throughout the morning to evening I do have to reapply in the afternoon.

The only thing I dislike is the smell of the product in the actual tube but once it's on the lips you can't smell it at all.

As one of the more expensive liquid lipsticks on the market I was expecting these to blow my mind, but as much as they are good there is nothing that isn't seen from a whole vast of brands that offer this product for equal or less cost.

Packaging is very cute with two tone metal cap, the application is easy and it doesn't dry too quickly so you can manipulate it to evenly cover your lips without the need for a liner to shape your lips. Dry time is a little on the slow side but if you are not in a rush it isn't a problem.

Pure Hollywood is a pretty pink nude shade that looks great on my pale skin, and would think it would suit almost all shades as it has an underlying warmth that brightness the face.

Vintage is a plumy red purple that has a great opaqueness and even tone.

Lasting quite a while on the lips, it doesn't break down unless you talk, drink or eat, then it does pull away from the inner part of the lips first in a flaky manner then erodes out towards the outside leaving a rim around the lips and puckered effect. I counter this by applying a clear gloss especially over Pure Hollywood that seems to wear down faster then vintage.

Would I repurchase, probably not I see no need to get any other shades as these 2 that I tried haven't wowed me enough to constantly put them in my rotation of products and last time I wore other than today was probably 6 months ago.

These liquid lipsticks are really pigmented and a little goes a long way. They dry really fast and don't make the lines in your lips stand out. Also they aren't overly drying. They do however wear off when you eat and drink. Also while I love Pure Hollywood, Milkshake is just too pale and made my skin look horrible and like I had too much fake tan on (I don't wear fake tan and I am very pale).

My beautiful friend was doing an order from the ABH website so I decided to jump in and picked up this product in the shade Madison. It's a lovely pink, almost the same color as the lip rating here on BR! (almost!)

The packaging is what I'm used to I guess, a clear tube, a gold lid and a doe foot applicator. I would hope it reached the bottom but I'm not sure. The formula is creamy and applies opaque with one swipe.

It dries down matte but it's not quite kiss proof, and I don't think it claims to be either so that's good. I found it lasted all day on me as well, so I'm stoked! It's a really good formula and if they had more shades I liked I'd definitely buy more!

Allison How cool they named a lipstick after me, so only natural that I buy it, right? This is described as a dusty rose. Must be very dusty as it pulls very brown on me. My one I had was also a dud and didn't have a stopper on the top of the tube, so when pulling the wand out, half the product came with. Not cool. Lasted a few hours, but after the wand mess, this quickly went for a long walk to the bin.

Lovely This is a much better colour on me than the above and this has managed to survive many lipstick culls. It wears for a good six hours, less if eating greasy food. Like any matte liquid lipstick, this is very, very drying.

Looking forward to getting some more of these at some stage!

I have the shade sepia, and because I quite pale it does look like a very dark brown on me, but I have no issue with the colour. The packaging and the applicator is just your standard clear tube and doe foot. The formula is quite thick, so feels quite heavy to apply and does take time to fully dry down to matte - if it ever does. I notice after a little while it can start to crumble on the inside of the lips, it is not the most comfortable to wear so after a couple of hours I would have to take it off and reapply.

Overall I don't hate this lipstick, the colour is unique and strong, and I use a similar shaded creamy lippy on the very inner part of my lip to increase the comfort and wear. But If you are looking for a lipstick that is comfortable, low maintenance, and long lasting - this isn't it.

I've purchased and worn the persimmon colour in this range, The product is creamy and very pigmented, Once the lipstick settles it drys into more of a matte ( but not too dry). It lasts on the lips when eating and drinking. There is some transfer but more is less with this product.

I’ve bought the shade milkshake online and it’s so much darker on me than on the pictures, like at least 3-4 shades darker, not sure what’s going on with these google pictures and swatches. I need lip balm underneath all liquid lipstick or my lips get dry and wrinkly, same with this one, it lasts a few hours on me, but I need to touch up, otherwise the middle parts on my lips fade and outer lines start drying out. I always start with lip balm when touching up and then pat a little bit on the middle of my lips and spread them out with my finger and wait until they dry. It’s a bit of a chore, so I don’t reach for my liquid lipsticks much, although the unexpected darker shade works surprisingly well for me.
