Hi
guys,
Liquid
lipsticks seem to be here to stay and I for one am very happy. Matte lipsticks
are my favourite as they last so much longer on the lips than a regular
lipstick. I am a big lover of the Jeffree Star Liquid Lipsticks as they are
just phenomenal. They don’t dry out your lips, there is no crusting, they last
for hours, they dry quickly and they look beautiful. I really want more Jeffree
Star lipsticks but they are just so hard to get a hold of as they sell out instantly
and the very few suppliers in the UK don’t have the full collection or they don’t
replenish very often which is frustrating so I started to look elsewhere. The
first brand I wanted to try was The Balm as I love their cult favourite, The Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter (£17.50), so when I caught a glimpse of the shade Sincere I knew I had
to have it. I have also been told this is a dupe for one of JS newer shades,
Gemini. I can’t confirm this as I don’t own both but apparently it’s true.
I
bought the shades Sincere (Rusty) and Sentimental (Pink) both are £13.50. The first thing I
noticed about the lipsticks apart from the colours, were the vanilla & mint
scent, it’s quite potent and really nice. As with most liquid lipsticks, I tend
to use a lip liner before I apply the product as it helps me stay in the lines
so to speak as they can be a little hard to work with sometimes. I love the
texture of these as they are quite thick, almost mousse like and they are
really pigmented but I found that they took quite a while to dry. I normally
apply a lip butter beforehand to stop my lips feeling dry throughout the day
and it works fine with every other product I’ve used so I don’t think that had
anything to do with the drying time. I would say a good 25 minutes after
applying my lips were fully dry to the touch, that’s when my lips finally
stopped sticking together. Not so good! However, once on, it Did.Not.Budge.
There was no crusting, no bleeding outside the lips and my lips didn’t dry out.
Apart
from the drying time, I really like these lipsticks. I would seriously buy more
of them. If I ever get a hold of Jeffree Star Gemini, I will let you know if
Sincere is an exact dupe or not but in the meantime, check out Dupe That’s post
on this matter.
Do you have any liquid lipstick recommendations for me?
Sentimental looks beautiful but the drying time is a little off-putting! xx
