Storytime

I had read reviews on this product before and the product at that time was not currently available in stores in Australia.  So when I saw that it was being released here I kept my eyes peeled for it at the local supermarkets which stock "drugstore" cosmetic products.

The only colour in stock was #35 Rebel Red.  On opening and first applying, it is a thicker, more mousse like consistency than previous "liquid lip" products have currently been.  It also has a smell that I cannot place yet, I just know it reminds me of babies products.  Its thickness kind of sits upon the lips on a layer rather adhering tightly to the skin like other lip products.

The colour is a vivid, opaque cream that is a very warm based red.  I usually prefer blue based reds, but this was a very flattering colour for me personally.  There is 10 colours in the range.  Mainly brights instead of nudes.

I wore this for about three hours, around that time it had melted into my skin a lot more and unfortunately started to bleed around the parameters of my lips.  I did not wear any lip liner at all so to have a pure review.

It does leave a little staining on the parameters where it bled slightly.  It also reflects some shine too as you can see in the photo.

What's good about this product:

• Non drying
• Smell dissipates quickly
• Vivid colour
• Inexpensive
• Nice look to the product on the lips

What is not so good about this product:

• Not matte in formula
• Bleeds at the lips parameter
• Does have an initial smell that may be annoying to some  

*Please forgive my wonky lips, that is how they always photograph! Its very odd, I must be lopsided!

Basically if you are looking for a matte liquid lip product that is actually a dried matte colour on your lips; than this is not it.  If you don't mind the above behavior of this product than it is a nice product to use.  Just make sure you line your lips first and maybe wipe off some excess product off the paddle like applicator first.

I recommend this product only on the above provisos.

Thankyou for reading!
