Dose of Colors Kiss of Fire


Dose of Colors Kiss of Fire matte lipstick is fast drying and transfer proof. However the coverage is patchy and uneven and it takes about a minute or two for the pigmentation to set. But once it does, watch out! Despite its short comings I really like this color and the formula, which reminds me of a stain, because it has a light weight consistency and feel on the lips. Dose of colors liquid lipsticks advertise as vegan, cruelty free, gluten free, and paraben free, which is always a plus. I get at least 8 hour wear without eating or drinking. $18.00USD

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip: Succulent, More Better, First Base, & Lumiere 2

(top to bottom)
more better
succulent
1st base
lumiere 2
Succulent- is not as opaque as the other colors shown. When it dries it has a chalky residue to it, so be warned, or maybe I got a bad batch. It is a neon cherry red, very pretty. I highly recommend ladies with fair to tan skin tones try this color, you'll love it if you love red lips.
1st base-is a true pink with coral undertones. Very pretty and very opaque. 
Lumiere 2-is a dusty rose with purple undertones, very pretty and pigmented.
More Better- is a true berry wine, it tends to smear, and does not dry completely like the other colors.

LASplash Smitten LipTint Mousse: Raven Claw

From LASplash Cosmetics Website:
Bathe your lips in intense color! The Smitten LipTint Mousse seals color on the lips for a waterproof, smudge-proof result that will not transfer or fade. Its innovative weightless formula glides on effortlessly over lips, laying down bold vibrant color with exceptional longevity and feels feather-light over the lips. When applied, the initial liquid texture immediately dries to a velvet matte, lightweight tint. The angled, dense sponge applicator makes applying the lipstick fast and easy, and precise application.

 Review
I love the color and the formula is thicker and dries faster than other brands. As far as long lasting it is long lasting however expect some flaking over time and reapplications after eating and even drinking from a straw. It is advertised as waterproof and indeed it is as I swatched it on my hand and it stayed throughout the next day until I removed it with a makeup wipe.  I recommend a oil based makeup remover to remove this lip product. Be quick and as accurate with your application as possible because this formula dries quick. I'd say up to a minute after application. No taste or smell to complain of. And I enjoy the packaging. This particular color is a pigmented beauty deep berry color, which would look great on all skin tones.  $11.98USD
