I was so excited to get the product and to try this gorgeous baby rose pink colour. The swatch on the website made it look like a very close high end dupe for nyx liquid matte cream in Istanbul, my top favourite colour. But I was mistaken. Apparently the people at Jeffree Star Cosmetics like to overly edit the stock photos, bad move that looks similar to something Lime Crime would do (tut tut).
Upon application it is considerably more liquid than any of my other brands of liquid matte lippies, this makes it very hard to control when guiding it onto your lips, well for me anyway. The lipstick dries quickly which is pretty good and surprising for the consitency of the product. Impressive.
On the box it says to exfoliate your lips before use, to not eat oily food and to remove with Shea butter (oh and no making out- smudge warning maybe?). I'm guessing this is some instructions on how to get the best results from the product, however I've not had a very good experience.
This lipstick, while being very pretty and have great colour play off, likes to smudge. And if it smudges so easily, it looks like your mouth is stained, with me it looked like that and I didn't even realise it happened until I noticed a woman looking at me weirdly. Also with other, what I would like to point out a lot cheaper, brands I've used it only removes itself from your lips if you eat or drink like you would normally. I used a straw with this product. It still transferred.
Overall I don't feel like this product is worth the money and I feel quite dissapointed. Only upside of this is that it doesn't make your lips feel dry and I love the colour of it.
