Matte liquid lip NOT a gloss. So drying it’s like it pulls every bit of moisture out of your lips!
Color - “Stone”<br /><br />I don’t like matte lip products. Usually, they’re way too drying. I don’t mind semi matte lip products that aren’t too dry. But, for the most part, matte lip products just feel too drying on my lips. I was a little confused by the product page for this. The title said it was a “lip liner and lipstick set,” but also said it was a “matte lip gloss” and “liquid lipstick.” I’m not sure how it could be matte and a gloss at the same time. It’s one or the other? So, I looked at the description, whcih said it was a “high pigment lip gloss and lip liner.” It talked about not being sticky, which to me definitely implied a gloss. I’ve never heard a matte liquid lip being described as sticky or non sticky. So, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it’s NOT a lip gloss.<br /><br />This is a matte liquid lip (NOT a gloss) and a lip liner.<br /><br />The lip liner is great. It’s pigmented, creamy and smooth. It glides onto the lips easily. It’s easy to get it where you want it. It lasts well on the lips. It doesn’t feel too dry after applying it, but I did top it with a gloss.<br /><br />The liquid lip on the other hand is horrible! It is waaaaaay too drying! It is NOT a gloss at all! When applying it, it has a grainy, rough feel. Once it drys down, it’s like it sucks every bit of moisture out of your lips. I even tried putting a really moisturizing lip balm on before this and it still seemed to suck out all the moisture leaving cakey, dry looking and feeling lips. It shows every single line, even lines you didn’t even know you had in your lips. It’s crazy! It’s not sticky like it claims, though I don’t know why it would be since it dries down completely matte. I don’t know how well it lasted because I couldn’t stand it on my lips for longer than about 10 minutes and had to take it off. It came off really easy though, so I don’t see it lasting too long.<br /><br />I really hate when product pages are so wrong. This one gave mixed info, not making it clear what it was. I don’t like that at all. It’s like they were trying to make it so people who liked lip glosses would be interested in it, but also make it so people who liked matte lips would be interested in it. You can’t have it both ways. Just describe the product for what it is and let people decide if it’s something for them. Trying to sell it as both is ridiculous!<br /><br />The color “Stone” is pretty. It’s similar to my actual lip color, which is what I prefer.<br /><br />Overall, this isn’t for me. I really liked the lip liner and for the price it isn’t bad just for a lip liner. But, I HATED the matte liquid lip. If you’re someone that likes extremely matte liquid lips, you might like this. But, I honestly don’t know about that. This is the MOST drying matte liquid lip I have ever tried! I give it 2 stars for the lip liner being good and the nice color, but I took off 3 for the horrible description on the product page and the horrible liquid lip.
