Matte liquid lipsticks - Rated Best to Worst.

I have quite dry lips although I exfoliate and moisturise therefore they are not too flaky. I first tried Gerard Cosmetics liquid lipsticks and fell in love with the way they dry fast and you are less likely to have to re apply the product. I will list below links of where to get the products and what shades i used.

1. Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick
The feel of this formula on my lips is very light weight, isn't sticky and doesn't dry out your lips either. I like the feel of the wand too it is soft and glides on the product evenly and flawlessly. After the product is on your lips for a few hours it doesn't separate, it may have worn off on the inner part of your lips if you are drinking, eating oily foods, or kissing. as the oils break down the product on the lips therefore wearing it off a bit. I was expecting that though as, it is vegan and contains no nasty chemicals either therefore natural oils will break down the product.
Jeffree star has an amazing range of colours, may favourite is celebrity skin, i also have posh spice, scorpio, watermelon soda, and the lip ammunition celebrity skin.

The formula to this product isn't as creamy as the Jeffree Star one. This lip product is easier to use on top of a lip liner as it is hard to line the lips with only the liquid lipstick. The colours are really pigmented, good quality and light weight feeling. Although, they can dry out your lips after a few hours therefore moisturising your lips before application. Also I never have to re apply throughout the day but i have before and it can sometimes feel a bit too 'cakey' with 2 layers on the lips. I feel that it is worth the price it is retailed at and I get many compliments when wearing my lip kit. I have Dolce K and KoKo K. 

This is the first liquid lipstick I tried and I fell in love with the way that liquid lipsticks give and amazing matte coverage on your lips and the colours are so pigmented, The brush on this liquid
lipstick isn't as soft as the Jeffree Star velour liquid lipstick. But, I do love the formula, I haven't experienced any patchiness, and the colours are pigmented. It doesn't feel cakey on the lips and it doesn't dry it out as much as the Kylie Cosmetics liquid lipsticks. Also these liquid lipsticks are inexpensive and good quality.
I have the shades Invasion, Iced Mocha and Ecstasy. The colour range on beauty bay is amazing, I haven't tried any of the nude shades although, I do what Aphrodite.




4.LA Splash Couture Liquid Lipstick
This is one of the worst liquid lipsticks I have tried as it feels cakey and dries out the lips to the point of them cracking within half an hour of application. The wand was a similar shape to the Kylie Cosmetics as it is quite long, although the formula is very runny. I do like the colours, they have a wide range of them. Also the packaging is chic with the gold writing and lid. Also, the price of them is inexpensive and easy to deliver in the UK as they stock them on Beauty Bay. I have the shade Ghoulish which is quite purple and grey it is good for a winter day, and also, Rose Garden which is quite bright compared to the colour the picture shows although, it is still a nice colour for the spring and summer.

5. Sleek liquid lipstick 
The colour I purchased was Birthday Suit and I was excited to try out my first nude shade of liquid lipstick. When I swatched it on the back of my hand it appeared nude with an undertone of pink. Although, when I applied to the lips it wasn't nude, more of a dark pink. And the applicator is stiff and hard to move to outline the lips. Also the consistency of the formula is runny therefore when removing the applicator out of the container the liquid smeared all over the top of the packaging and got messy really quick which, has never happened to any liquid lipstick before so, I was surprised to see how messy it was, I felt that it was cakey, sticky on the lips and drying too. Overall, I tried this product once and wouldn't recommend it to anyone as it isn't a good product.
I do love SLEEK products though, the highlighters are really pigmented and long lasting so, I am not dissing the brand.
