I brought these a while ago and have only gotten around to doing a review now so i have no idea if they have updated their formula.
When I bought them they just didn't apply nicely and the taste of them was just weird. I wasn't expecting them to taste nice or anything but putting something on your lips shouldn't taste bad. I really did like the colour choice which was the only reason I had bought them and the price was really good too. The application is not great at all. The more you try get a better pigmentation and colour pay off, the more it will patch and it just doesn't look nice. One of the colours were alright, but that was only one and it was more of a neutral shade so you couldn't really see from far away.
Overall I wouldn't recommend these unless you have tried them first hand or something as they just didn't apply well for me.
I brought one of these bad boys from Farmers as a birthday gift to myself, I got Hon-o-loo-loo which is a light pastel shade of pink. I was quite excited to buy a matte cream as I had never owned one but wanted to see what all the hype was about... Kylie Jenner *cough*
I went into Farmers and wanted a lighter shade, something kind of neutral and I had looked up online to see that NYX had some pretty good brands but unfortunately they weren't available at the time. I felt inclined to lean towards the pinker shades as I felt like that was my only option because I was determined not to walk out of Farmers with a darker shade ( Its a common thing I do).
The Australis display was gorgeous and I managed to finally pick a colour I was happy with, which was my pretty pink pastel shade.
I was so thrilled with my choice that I quickly unscrewed the lid and started applying it without a second thought, the mixture applied really softly and evenly over my lips and smelt divine. During the car ride home though it became very dry and I noticed that it started to dissapear where my water line was and become almost crumbly...
I applied some more and boy oh boy it did not like that! I thought maybe with some exfoliating things would be better, but nope same problem kept happening.... I found that I would get maybe about 1 hour wear before having to scrape the crumbly bits off for a quick fix.
Another little problem was how glunky and clumpy the lipgloss went after a few weeks of having it... I felt as though the inside was drying out?
Overall I did like the colour, packaging and smell and I would be a liar if I said I didn't want to buy another one. I feel like I have mixed feelings on this one guys!
Tips: I suggest not overdoing the layers!
