Recently when I stopped in at Dollar General I saw the above on sale near the registers for $1.75 so I decided to give it a try.
It is an L.A. Colors, a discount cruelty-free makeup company matte liquid lip color in a color called "Vixen" which is a nude color with a slight pinkish undertone.
On L.A. Colors website it is described as:
"Smooth, easy to apply liquid formula dries to a super matte finish. Long wearing formula is perfect for all day wear with minimal touch-up"
It looks similar to a lipgloss once you unscrew the top as it has a sponge tip applicator attached. When you put it on your lips it feels like a lip gloss and it does go on sleek and smells a little like coconut but it began to dry and got drier and drier and drier until it felt like my lips were being mummified.
I immediately put on lip balm and that feeling went away.
It did dry matte and did last most of the day without touching up and didn't come off in a glob like lipgloss does on a glass or mug. If you use a lip balm, it still looks rather matte.
I considered tossing it but I actually received a compliment on the shade from a cashier at the grocery store and she said it looked great on me so I decide I will keep it.
PROS;
- Cruelty-Free company
- Lovely, Matte, Nude Pinkish Peachy Color
- Glides on easily
- Coconut Scent
- Long Lasting
CONS:
- Goes dry very quickly after initial application giving your lips a Mummy like feeling.
- Need to apply a lip balm on top of it to get rid of the dry feeling
I do advise being sure your lips are clean before applying because if you apply it on top of a lipstick it gets gritty and starts feeling Mummy-like again.
