I purchased this because it looked pretty and the claims of how well the liquid worked was too much to bear but due to it's high demand I had to wait a while to get my hands on the one I have, but it will not be the last. Currently waiting on restocking of colours to add to my collection.
Shade: Red Rum (only one for now!!!)
Packaging wise this is so darn cute!! From the chunky clear acrylic outer casing, to the inner container that is shaped like a lipstick bullet that contains the liquid in the colour of your choice. The bright pink chunky lid that unscrews to reveal an odd little shaped doe foot applicator tip that has a slight slant and flatness to it that is a little hard to explain. And finally the Jeffree Star gold star logos that feature on the lid and outer casing, as well as on the bright pink packaging the lipstick comes in. Its all just screams quality and shows how much love and thought has gone into creating it without sacrificing the quality of the actual product or being too expensive to purchase.
Formula wise this is how liquid lipsticks should be!! the liquid state is perfectly balanced to allow you to get a smooth even coat with one move across the lips, there is no dragging from the liquid drying too quickly, or is there any spills from the liquid being to fluid. The applicator tip, oddly shaped as it is, is perfect to get the angle right for the full lips to the tapered thinner lips, and makes filling in the cupid bow easy, so your application is fast and seamless. Once dried, you need to let it dry onto lips before you close your mouth or you will get flaky bits but it dries really quick. The finish is a touchable matte, eat/drink proof and kiss proof (within reasons you are not going to mark someone's cheek if you peck them, or lips with a soft kiss, but go full on make out and this sucker will move) The finish feels like a latex layer on your lips which isn't to say that is bad it just that you can feel it where you normally wouldn't notice normal lipsticks on your lips, it moves with your lips so it doesn't crack, or fade or smudge off.
Removal is easy at the end of the day, just a wipe of a makeup removing wipe or 2 and its all gone. It isn't very drying on your lips but if you already suffer from chapped lips or dryness there I would pop on some lip balm first, and always exfoliate after wearing and then put on some balm to plump and hydrate again.
A while after Christmas I decided to pick one of these up from a Beauty Bliss pop-up store, and I wasn't disappointed! I chose the shade Mannequin, which is in between his classic shades I'm Nude and Celebrity Skin. It's the perfect nude for me, as I'm pale but didn't want too light a colour.
This comes in a plastic tube, with a pink cap. The writing is in rose gold, which I love. I've never seen a lipstick that looks like these, making it easily distinguishable. The applicator is a fluffy doe foot brush, with a curve that conforms to your lips and holds product. I love this applicator, it does such a good job of applying product smoothly and allows me to outline my lips easily. One of the things I like the most about this product is the smell - it is heavenly. This is meant to smell like root beer float, but I think it smells like candy and sometimes I even find myself opening the tube just to smell it. The consistency of this lipstick is quite thin, but the colour is opaque in one swipe and I only need one dip to cover my entire mouth. They dry down within a couple of minutes to a matte finish and are pretty much transfer-proof (I've worn this out and eaten a burger and they've stayed on fine!). One thing I would recommend is not to press your lips together while applying, I've found that this ensures the lipstick does not transfer once dried down. These lipsticks last all day for me and don't dry my lips out like other liquid lipsticks, which is a plus.
Overall, I would definitely recommend these lipsticks. There is a huge shade range, so there will be something for everyone including those of different skin tones, and the lipsticks are so high quality! Definitely a holy grail for me.
