Thoughts
I took the chance to buy this matte lippie when Carrefour UAE had a Pre-Mother’s Day 50% OFF all makeup brands. The shade is a plum matte. It looks good on first application but later it cracks and leaves the lips dry with pigments (even with lip balm). Unlike other lipsticks or liquid lippies, this one left a stain on my teeth (my first time to encounter one). What’s more worst is it has an aftertaste like the food is mixed with the lipstick’s taste 🤢

Good thing I didn’t buy the item at a full price, even if I had been eyeing it for a while. This lady from Centrepoint Dalma Mall convinced me that it doesn’t dry the lips. I guess this one didn’t qualify my criteria.
