I purchased these, many years ago. Being a makeup artist, I'll try so many products on the market, because that's just what we do. The low down- its affordable, its pigmentation is great, its glossy, the packaging is great, there is a wide selection of colours. The only downfall... it does not last long (but that is to be expected with lower end glosses) these worked great for creative makeup looks, because you can use it on the eyes and cheeks (and its just for the photos anyway, so you can retouch) but if you're looking for a long wearing gloss - this is not the one. :)
I expected this to be more of a matte liquid lipstick for some reason but its definitely a highly pigmented gloss. Really pretty shades and super effective for certain makeup looks, however does not last long at all.
I was enticed to buy it when I simply saw the packaging, I brought the colour Daring and I was pleased with how pigmented it was on me, it has a peppermint smell to it and that allows for your lips to look plumper and that I like, who doesn't want Kylie Jenner lips without the doctor's appointment.
What I didn't enjoy at all was that a huge amount comes out and that it doesn't stay on your lips for a long time, not something I would buy again.
I was so excited when I saw these lip paints at Dischem. At first, the range was limited to pinks and nudes (which I don't think goes too well with my skin tone). They are apparently dupes for the Too Faced Melted lip paints (the packaging is almost identical). Since Too Faced is not sold in SA, I thought this would be a great buy).
After a month or two, I saw that Dischem had expanded the range of lip paints so I immediately picked up a dark purple shade called 'Tempt'. Unfortunately there were no testers on display so I did not exactly know what the colour would be.
The packaging is really great and the price is even better. I've never tried lip pigments in a tube before so it was interesting to test this product out. I'm not a fan of the tube packaging as, when applied directly to the lips, the 'paint' moves around quite a bit. I would have preferred a sponge-like applicator as seen with most lipglosses or liquid lipsticks.
The paint is smooth but the peppermint scent is very strong - so it stings quite a bit. The colour was beautiful but it was quite difficult to spread it evenly (probably because of the applicator/packaging).
I strongly suggest using a lip liner as the product is quite liquid-y. This is the type of product where a lip liner is necessary, especially for the darker colours. It stayed on quite well but reapplication is needed for it to last all day.
There are some faults but the colour is too beautiful for me not to repurchase it. It's great product if you look past the pungent scent.
this product is 'ok'
I bought one in the color 'tease' a bright Barbie pink and one thing I can say is the color is very pigmented and is seriously awesome but applying it is difficult. It comes off very easily and onto everything! when I put it on for the first time I ended up with some on my teeth , hands and clothes, it was even on my hand soap , from how I tried to clean it off , it was very messy! it also bleeds into the fine lines that you have on your lips , making it not look very pretty! it was also very difficult to clean off , I wont be purchasing this again
L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint in GLG786 COY has a peppermint scent and it gives my lips a mild tingling sensation after application. Care needs to be taken so that you do not squeeze out a lot of product. It has a runny creamy texture but it glides on the lips. It is pigmented and the colour is very intense. It really gives you a bold look. It lasts a few hours before reapplication. You can use an anti-feathering lip liner to prevent bleeding and feathering. Wear a balm underneath to keep your lips moisturised. However, this is not an everyday colour for me.
