Highly Requested:My Lippie List


I know it has taken me a while to get this list together, but here you go!


Every time I talk "Lipsticks" I'm always asked "What brands do you like, dislike and recommend?" I've tried several brands over my " Loving Lippies Journey", some of them are my favorites and some of them I honestly would not repurchase.



However, the only way you can know what's good, bad, or just ok is to take the risk and try it. My rule is to buy no more than two shades at a time. This way if I like it, I have two shades to start with and I can order more later.  For some reason if the brand is not to my liking, then because I only purchased two-- it's not to bad on my pocket.  I wish I could say that I follow my own rules all the time, but I don't. Sometimes I get ahead of myself especially when the price is right!!!!!  Just know I learned my lesson.  Always read and understand the company's return policy before purchasing their products, I promise it will make your life easier in the long run.


Disclaimer: This list is solely "What's that Lippie's?" opinion. It is based off of the products that I have purchase with my own money. Therefore, I have listed them in order from my favorite  to least favorite liquid lipsticks --based on formula. I enjoyed them all, however I like what I like.

Expect the Unexpected - Me and Lipsticks


I'm sure you don't believe me when I say, "I'm a very conservative person -- deep down inside".  I promise it's true and kind of hard to explain, but let me try.



 Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick - Weirdo
So....... I was raised by a mother who would put on Avon- Cherry Jubilee Lipstick on Sunday Mornings in the church parking lot, and once it was gone, she didn't apply it again till the following Sunday. My dad is a Marine, need I say more. He taught me how to be neat at all times and never do anything to make yourself stand out in a crowd. That's me in a nutshell, however my dad is also a photographer and he's always taking pictures -- ALL THE TIME. Let's just say it's in my DNA. I love photos, currently I have 5, 346 photos in my Camera Roll. Pictures are my LIFE.













About a year ago I had some extra money in the bank and  I decided to purchase my first DSLR camera.  The goal was to buy something that I thought would be worth spending the money.  Eight months into taking horrible photos of myself, it was time to master my craft. I realized that a camera shows exactly was it see's. If the subject has flaws the camera will catch them. That was the day I decided I was going to be flawless in my pictures.
















As I went on this Flawless Journey, I started to learn who I was in the complicated world of makeup.  I learned that I liked lipsticks -- matte lipsticks to be exact. At first I was addicted to eye shadows palettes. After buying 10 palettes I realized that I rather have a conservative eye look and make my lips be the way I express my self in make up.


I know that all the below doesn't really explain why I'm wearing Black Lipstick, which is Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick - Weirdo. All I know is when you find a true passion or hobby in life, make sure that you never set Boundaries . When I fell in love with lipsticks I had no clue that I would explore ALL shades. Remember always go with your heart when you picking out your lippies, you can never go wrong. When it comes to me and lipstick, please  "Expect the Unexpected", because I think Gray is next on my list.

Product Review: Makeup Monsters Matte Liquid Lipsticks






Look out  Liquid Lipstick Lovers there's a new Lippie in town!!!!!



 

I'll say it one more time, I LOVE LIQUID LIPSTICKS!!!!!! I live for the best formulas.... Also it only takes one wear for me to know if it's for me or not. Meaning, sometimes you just have to take a chance and try one or two of the brand.  Let me break it down, so you can understand. When purchasing liquid lipsticks you always want to read the product reviews, this is a must. Knowing what other customers think about a product will make it easier for you to decide whether you would like it or not.

About 4 months ago I met a lovely fellow Lipstick Lover on Instagram - @Lipstick_Po. She was so nice to me, meaning she answered the millions of questions I had about lipsticks.  I asked her, "What are some of your favorite Lipstick brands?",  and she mentioned Makeup Monsters. At that time I had never heard of the brand, so I decided to do some research. Look what I found!!

Tell me where can you find a brand of lipstick that comes in these colors. OMG!!! I know that some of the exotic colors aren't for my conservative lipstick wearers, however us that walk on the wild side, this is Lipstick Heaven. Makeup Monsters Cosmetics if you are reading this, I want you to know that-----------------------------------------> You have stolen my heart.

Facts about Makeup Monsters Matte Liquid Lipstick - (taken for website)
    Retail Price: $15.95
    Gluten & Paraben Free / Net Wt 6g / 6ml (0.20oz)
    Handmade with love in small batches to ensure freshness and quality.

    Application Tips: Shake well! Exfoliate and moisturize lips before use. Avoid oily foods to prevent ruining the finish of this product. Allow 2 minutes to dry. Their unique touchproof formula was designed on the idea that no one should have to sacrifice comfort for durability. This thin and lightweight formula is different from any other brand out there bringing comfortable wear while giving a pigmented and long lasting touchproof look.










My 2¢: Let's just say I ordered two more on last Friday when they restocked and it's taking everything in me not to order more. When it comes to liquid lipsticks some things are just a must for me. Comfortable ✓, Fast drying ✓, and Smudged Proof ✓(not smearing all over my face and clothes). Sweet and Simple I love the two shades I purchased and I can't want to try more.  --------> Go to their website today, while they are in stock. Makeup Monsters Cosmetics are apart of my TOP 3 Liquid Lipsticks.

My Truth: Red Lipstick Scares Me

I already know! You are looking at this Blog Post Title like:






I bet you are saying -- not the woman who we have seen wear Purple, Green, Black and Blue Lipstick. Yes it's true. I am so afraid of Bold Red Lipsticks.


What's so weird about this whole ordeal is, once I get it on you'll never know that I'm feeling self conscious or worried about it.




The Number ONE Rule for rocking Lipstick is "Rock it well".

Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick - Weirdo
 Even if you don't like how it looks on you, hold your head up high and act if it's the best color you're worn. I guarantee at least one person will pay you a compliment.
Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick - Blue Velvet



Ok... Now that you know the lipstick rule, let's get back to me and this Red Lipstick thing. Being a Woman of Color (W.O.C.) with full lips, red lipstick is not a color that I automatically gravitate to. My Lipstick collection consists of about 36 lipsticks -- only two of them are what I would consider true classic reds.

Useful facts about Ofra Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks ( taken from website) :
These liquid lipsticks are creamy and soft in texture. They moisturize the lips and create a long lasting lipstick effect. No need to use lip liner, this lipstick gives a beautiful edge to your lip look!  The formula is a matte color formula but if you want to add some shine to your liquid lipstick just add some lip gloss. All shades contain antioxidants and Vitamin E while the formula provides a lightweight layer of lasting color to make you look stunning all day. Color will last in a perfect condition up to five hours without eating or drinking. For best results do not eat or drink for 15 minutes after applying.



 I love the formula of this lipstick. What's unique about Ofra Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks is that they are very creamy and mixable. It seems as if they took a tube of lipstick and put it in a container with a wand applicator. You can take any lip pencil (especially MAC Cosmetics  Nightmoth or Chestnut) and combine it with these lippies and totally change the face of them.

Useful facts about Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks( taken from website) :
These liquid lipstick goes on opaque, dries completely matte and stays on for hours! This product is 100% vegan & cruelty-free! (Tips before use: Exfoliate then apply to bare lips! avoid food with oil… and no making out, kisses are ok!)






According to Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick website REDRUM is described as:
"The perfect red"
This matte cool toned red looks amazing on any skin tone.







Jeffree Star Cosmetics has my attention right now. Although REDRUM not a shade that I would grab daily, when I wear it, I do smile.  You can never go wrong with that classy red lip. However it takes a special lipstick lover to enjoy and respect the power of the "Red Lip"
