FALSE ADVERTISING!!

Hello beautiful people! Hope everyone's good and enjoying the end of winter. I personally don't want winter to end cause I love wearing oversized comfy sweaters, sitting in a blanket and binge watching tv shows on Netflix while sipping on hot chocolate. Surely going to miss all this. 

Today I will be reviewing two new liquid Lipsticks that broke my heart. My friend recently gifted me 2 gorgeous shades of Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipsticks, which I was really psyched about...that is until I put them on and ended up waiting  almost 20 minutes for them to dry. Not only that, despite the name of the product itself claiming it is matte, the Lipstick doesn't even dry down to be anywhere near matte but instead it's more of a highly pigmented and shiny lip. Maybelline should be ashamed of false advertising this product. This is especially heartbreaking as the colours are so mesmerizing, the scent is just incredible and the packaging is top-notch.

 Other than these let downs, there are a few good pointers too. You get a lot of product (0.26 oz) for the price you pay which is only $8! The formula would have been perfect for a lip gloss as it is very creamy, glides on smoothly and not sticky at all but it smudges easily.

Now moving on to the colours, I would personally have loved to wear Fuchsia Ecstasy 'cause the colour is so eye-catching and different, something you don't find that easily. It goes so well with my brown skin tone. Where as the other colour, Nude Thrill, is too light for me.

Fuchsia Ecstasy

Nude Thrill

Lastly, I wouldn't recommend this to  anyone who's not a fan of lip gloss or smudgy lipsticks. 

Till next time, bubye. 
