Models own Lip Products: Some quick thoughts

must ya provide these designs own lip products a huge kiss?
If I might suggest anything to assist you get the most out of your very first experience with the designs own makeup brand, which just recently crossed the pond from Britain as well as is offered now at Ulta, it would be to stay with the powder products (like the eyeshadows as well as highlighters), however to believe twice about the creams.

IMO, the cream products — the creamy eye palette, the lipsticks, lip pencil, liquid lipstick as well as lip sealer — might utilize a bit refinement.

They’re affordable, which is one thing they have going for them. The cream products all variety from $6.99 to $8.99 each, which indicates a lot more money for CATS!!! however for me, the greatest hurdle with a few of the lip products has been their flavor as well as scent. a lot of of the designs own lip products I’ve tried have a cloying artificial brown sugar/plastic scent that turns my stomach as well as brings back memories of old-school NYX lippies.

Anyway, I don’t normally get worked up about exactly how products taste as well as smell, however if something smells like plastic or fake sugar, I just can’t hang (also, the Lip Finale Lip Sealer doesn’t have a flavor or scent, however the liquid lipstick smells like strong peppermint toothpaste to me).

Jumbo Stick Matte Lipstick in Titan Teaberry
Even beyond that, though, all of the cream products I’ve tried have left me wanting more. like the Jumbo Stick Matte Lipstick in Titan Teaberry ($6.99 as well as offered in five other shades). It’s smooth, pigmented, as well as I believe it’s gorgeous in pics, however the formula is SO drying as well as uncomfortable.

Lix Matte liquid Lipstick in Eucalyptus Pink

And then there’s the Lix Matte liquid Lipstick in Eucalyptus Pink ($7.99 as well as offered in five other shades). The lightweight mousse-y structure is awesome as well as unusual, however for the life of me I can’t get it to apply evenly on me. It always looks patchy!

Luxestick Lipstick in velvet Whisper
Luxestick Lipstick velvet in Deep Berry
As for the Luxestick Lipstick velvets ($8.99 as well as offered in six shades), the pink shade, Whisper, catches every single lip flake. Oddly, the dark berry shade, Deep Berry, doesn’t, however it wanders outside my natural lip line.

Oh, as well as girl, the lip sealant? I truly desired the Lip Finale Lip Sealer ($8.99) to work well for me since I don’t have anything like it in my collection. It’s a thin liquid that you clean directly on top of lipstick to lock it down for hours.

Cool in theory, right?

Well, I barely had it on for 30 seconds before I had to take it off, since it stung my lips! — as well as I’m not speaking about the pleasurable type of tingle you get from lip-plumping products. No, it felt like hot pins as well as needles.

So, yeah. I believe I’ll steer remove of the designs own lip products for now as well as stay with the bodacious barely There combination as well as the highlighters.
