So as I was at Wal-Greens, I purpsoely went there to see what new items they had, makeup products and I was amazed they had so mnay new stuff, and waht caught my eyes were these!
I am a liquid lipstick person at heart nothing else, and when I seen these I had to get them! These were $7.99 and Wal-Greens had buy one lip product get the other 50% off. It was a no brainer.
I got a few to test out. Here are my thoughts on these.
They have a nice color selection, I went for the nudes mostly because that's typical of me.
Packaging is okay, likes nice, not cheap, hard plastic.
Once I opened them, they had that horrendous smell, the same scent they use for their Elixirs that was an immediate turn off for me. I am very particular when it comes to scent and this was an immediate no. It smells like flowers. I love the scent of flowers but not for my lips.
It has a doe foot applicator very similar to the Stila liquid lipsticks just not as bendy as theirs are. It is very easy to use, just a good amoumt of stiffness to it.
When I first applied them on they almost felt like the Stila liquid lipstick but more of the NYX Soft Matte lip creams.
The drying process? None. These do not dry like a liquid lipstick. These have almost the same finish as the NYX Soft Matte lip creams except they have a bit of staining to the lips. They go on so smooth but do not dry to a liquid lipstick. And this product doesn't claim to be a liquid lipstick, which is my own fault.
Overall they have a good color selection, decent price, the concept is good, the applicator is good.
Well I go and buy more shades? Probably. Only because I want some of the other shades that NYX doesn't offer (at least at my CVS). The only downside is the fricking smell. I hate it. It also sorta lingers on your lips. I'm actually 50/50. If it was creme brûlée or vanilla sugar or something like that. I would give this 100% but if the smell doesn't bother you, give this a go!
UPDATE: After careful consideration, I had to retun these, the smell was a deal breaker. It lingers and it too strong for my liking. If scent does not bother you, go for it, try one out, I do still think NYX Soft Matte are better.
