Mellow Liquid Lip Paint Review

Initially, I wasn't a fan of Mellow's liquid lip paints, but time, experience and experimentation has changed my mind.

The lip paints come in an elegant gloss-like tube. The applicator is small and has a tapered end, which helps with the accuracy of application.

The formula is a matte one and can be quite drying. It's also reasonably thin which means it is easier to avoid excess product mishaps.

In terms of longevity, this lipstick lasts all day.

At first I used these lip paints everyday, but I found that dried out my lips too much, so I now only use them intermittently.

I can honestly say I’ve never tried a more comfortable liquid lip. I get very dry lips so normally avoid matte products or liquid lipsticks but this feels like I’m wearing nothing. Once it’s on it’s on strong so be careful not to make any mistakes as you’ll need a makeup wipe or micellar water to remove it. I got mine through the Beauty Vault so I’ve not seen all the colours available but I’m definitely keen for more. It is definitely a long wearing lip product and will stay put even with eating and drinking. It wears beautifully under a gloss too. I definitely recommend this for anyone wanting a long wearing matte lip look.

Thank you BR for the opportunity to grab this during the vault, I had been eyeing these lip paints since before they even launched so I am stoked to get my hands on one!

Packaging: Clear acrylic tube with a gold lid and gold lettering. The quality is lovely, it doesn't feel cheap and light in your hands, it has a bit of weight to it. The stopper is brilliant too, sometimes I find that liquid lipstick stoppers are too big and let through a lot of product but this one is perfect (and it doesn't get messy!) I appreciate the fact that they've labelled the name on the bottom of the tube as it's discrete and doesn't take away from the look of the lipstick.

Applicator: This has a traditional doe foot applicator and it's nothing special but boy is it brilliant. It's not overly fluffy or fuzzy which I like because there's no chance of product smearing outside of the lines. It's small and quite hard which allows for perfect precision and picks up a good amount of product.

Formula: Let's get one thing straight, this is NOT a liquid to matte lipstick, it is a matte lip cream. It goes on beautifully, not too thick and not too liquidy, the consistency is just right. It's not fully opaque but it's not thin and watery either, two coats will get you the desired look. Once applied the lipstick is very creamy but has a soft satin feel, it's not so wet that you have to be afraid of it bleeding. As time goes by the product dries a bit and settles into a gorgeous velvet matte, it's not sticky or wet but you can still rub your lips together. This is not transfer proof! The formula is neither drying nor hydrating and it lasted well for 4 hours before I took it off.

Scent & Taste: There is a faint scent, it's lightly sweet but quite chemical, it does not linger once on the lips though. I didn't notice a taste at all but I try not to lick my lips when wearing lip products.

Shade: Puerto Rico is a gorgeous mid tone nude that leans on the cool to neutral side. It's quite taupey brown and is very flattering on my skin tone.

Overall: This was so super comfortable on the lips, it didn't accentuate dry patches or pull into any lines. It wore well, didn't make my lips feel parched and it didn't flake. I love the classy, simplistic packaging and the price is incredible for NZ. Definitely recommend.

Thank you Beauty Review for having this in the Rewards Vault, without it I would probably not have tried this liquid lip product.

First the packaging is simple, not overstated and yet sturdy (the courier tried their hardest I am sure). It is a clear sleek liquid lippy tube with shiny gold lid and print. Easy to apply doe foot liquid applicator applies the liquid with ease and it smooths on like butter with great precision.

The colour is a little darker than I thought at first but it looks like a slightly more chocolate nude on my lips with slight grey-ish undertones. I really like how it feels on, not drying but yet it stays put for those kisses, does come off a bit when eating and drinking and it does need re-application after lunch.

I am actually really impressed by this lip product that I am already eyeing up other colours in the range (Tehran and Tokyo are top of my list)

Liquid lipsticks have become massive in the beauty world, and even more so when the liquid lipsticks have a matte finish. There are so many brands coming to the 'Liquid Lipstick' party and there are so many formulas around. Let me says this from the get go, Mellow Cosmetics have made an amazing product.

This liquid lip paint come in such pretty packaging. They come in slender tubes with gold lids. Simply and classy. They have a doe foot applicator which has a nice shape and I actually find this applicator is really easy to use too.

The formula of these are lovely. To me, they are a combination of the Ofra Liquid lipsticks and the Jefree Star Liquid Lipsticks. They are pigmented, long wearing and are so comfortable on the lips which is a huge factor for me when I chose, and wear liquid lipsticks.

I have a few colours and I have to say, I love them all. My favourites are the nudey-toned ones because I am still scared of colour (give me time, and I'm sure I will be able to rock a cool-tone Barbie Pink lip, but that day is not today). My favourite colours are Tehran, Budapest, and Shanghai because they are so wearable. The colour New York is next on my list (and I know its a bold shade... but I need it. Lets hope I'll have the courage to wear it out of the house).

I love that this liquid lip paint is so amazing and is made by a New Zealand brand. These are some of the best liquid lipsticks I have tried, and they are so easy to get your hands on as well. They are definitely worth a try.

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.

Mellow is a fantastic Australian company that was built from the ground up by an every day woman and mother of two. I think she’s done an amazing job in the last few years and I think Mellow’s products are fantastic. Not only are they vegan and cruelty free, they actually do what they say too.

In terms of these liquid lip paints I give them 5/5. I always compare any liquid lip paint (especially the matte ones) with Colourpop’s products. I love the latter because they stay on all day and aren’t cakey, and I can tell you that Mellow’s lip paints are much the same. They come in a gorgeous range of shades, albeit a small range. As for price, they’re definitely not as expensive as many other lesser known brands and certainly nowhere near as expensive as the big name brands. If you spend over a certain amount there is a free shipping option too so take advantage of that and stock up. The names are also quite cool.

I’d say check out their Instagram too for news and to see what collaborations they’re up to at the moment. Also check out their eyeshadow palettes cos they’re amazing!

I got the Mellow colour in Budapest. Although maybe a bit too dark I still like the product. It is a nice consostency and the wand is easy to use. Did not take too long too dry and even though it is long lasting some of it did come off. Did not struggle too mich in getting it off my lips just used a cleansing wipe. Like the matt finish you get and di dry out my lips a little bit but not a lot. Would definitely buy the other colours as well.

I was lucky enough to pick this up in the last vault, and it fast became a favorite.

This color is pastel brownish nude tone. I feel that it looks surprisingly glamorous on the lips, I love it and I reach for it a lot when i’m wearing a full face of makeup. It looks really bizzare however, if you’re wearing a very minimal amount of makeup, you gotta go heavy to pull it off.

The packaging is simple, practical and stylish, with a sturdy plastic tube and a traditional, ‘regular’ sized doe-foot applicator.

The consistency is quite creamy, glides on smoothly and dries quickly. It’s not quite opaque, but nearly after a couple of coats. It feels really light on my lips and is non-drying.

Wear wise, touch ups are required after eating, but it seems to cling on reasonably well.

I love this lip paint, this color, and i’m setting my sights on a few more colors from the range.
