First up is the Kylie Cosmetics lip kit in Ginger, which retails for $29 for both the liquid lipstick (.11 fl oz) and the liner (1 g), at Kylie's *website. Or you can get a single liquid lipstick for $17.
I personally really like this formula, however I do have some issues with it. First the colors do not last as long if there is not a lip liner underneath the liquid lipstick. My best friend has the KoKo K liquid lipstick, but not the liner and it did not hold up through eating Chinese food, while the Ginger lip kit, while fading, was still there and still looked pretty good. So maybe it isn't the liner, but maybe the lighter colors simply don't hold up as well through eating. My second issue is that some of the colors seem to be very easily duped, which if I am paying $29 for a lip kit that is not something I want, however, that is good for those who don't want to or can't afford to spend $29 for a lip kit. This formula, while it has been compared to colourpop a lot, I personally think it is closer to the Kat Von D formula, based on how it wears and how it feels on the lips. The packaging of these lip kits are my favorite I think it is so cute. The lip kits have a vanilla cupcake scent which is not as over powering as say the Revlon liquid lipstick I reviewed in my last liquid lipstick post. Also Kylie Cosmetics is cruelty free and gluten free!
So overall I would give this a 4 out of 5.
Second is the BareMinerals GenNude Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Hemp, it retails for $18 (.13 fl oz) at *bareminerals.com
First and foremost the smell of these lipsticks is amazing! They smell like homemade cookies! The formula is a thin whipped consistency that applies rather easily. Unfortunately they can be kind of patchy and streaky when you are applying them. They also are not the most opaque lipstick, which I guess they don't claim to be a liquid lipstick, so I suppose I can let them off the hook for that. However, they also do not last very long, especially when compared to the Kylie lip kits or the Milani liquid lipsticks. But the Bareminerals ones are extremely comfortable, which is why I keep and will continue to keep wearing them! haha! Also BareMinerals is cruelty free and most products are gluten free!
Overall I would give this a 3.5/5
Well I guess I gave myself a segue-way into the Milani Liquid lipsticks! The Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme's retail for $9 (.21 oz) on *milanicosmetics.com
I've heard that the original formula that was released in the limited edition Amore Matte Lip Creme's was bounds and leaps better than the formula Milani released in the permanent Amore Matte Lip Creme's. However, I do quite enjoy this formula. It is very long lasting, I took a nap and when I woke up it was still there and hadn't dried out my lips! Unfortunately, it does not hold up well through eating and drinking. These smell like vanilla, which seems to be a trend for lip products in general. Milani is cruelty free and the Amore Matte lip cremes are gluten free!
Overall I would give this a 4/5
Next up is the Ciate London Liquid Velvet liquid lipstick! It retails for $19.00 on Ciate's website. This liquid lipstick reminds me of a cross between the colourpop ultra matte liquid lipsticks and the baremineral liquid lipsticks but less drying than the colourpop and less streaky than the Bareminerals. The consistency is a liquidy whipped texture which is a little weird but it results in a beautiful and for the most part comfortable application. It has a slightly sweet smell, but is not as strong or as vanilla as the kylie, bareminerals, and milani ones are. The liquid velvets are also gluten free! The velvets do have fairly long staying power and can make it through a meal without too much wear, if the meal isn't oily! Also Ciate is cruelty free!
Overall I would give this a 3.5/5
Now, the Color is Bae Lip Lacquer from Elizabeth Mott! These are $20 from Elizabeth Mott's website. The shade is Moxie Mauve, which is ill fitting, the color, on me looks more like a vibrant midtoned pink. This formula is creamy and it smells like vanilla, however, it is sticky and the color does not appear at all like what is in the tube! Which is very unfortunate. While I don't mind the color not being 100% accurate to what the tube looks like, I hate sticky things. The longevity is average, it lasts about the same amount of time as other liquid lipsticks and it does dry down matte. This product is both cruelty free and gluten free!
Overall I would give this 2/5
Finally, the J.Cat liptitude hydrating lip stain. Available for $5.99 from Ulta's *website. This product is awful. It is gloopy, sticky, and easily goes outside of the lip line. However, it is gluten free and cruelty free. On the plus side, this does last a long time and does leave a nice stain behind when it fades (or runs away from your mouth haha). It has a minty type smell that is not too over powering. I would recommend, if you still want to try this to not start off with a deep or bold color and stick with the naturals, that way if it bleeds out of your lip line, you will not look like a clown (like I did).
Overall I would give this a 1.5/5
Let me know of any of your favorite liquid lipsticks! I would love to try them and possibly include them in a part three!
