But I still love the color, and it is a semi-long-wear liquid lipstick, leaving behind a lot of color as it fades. I’ve been drinking water from a glass, and unless you wait about a half hour till it dries completely, the lipstick comes off on the glass.

Not too long after I applied the liner and liquid lipstick, I noticed a little bleeding at the tips of my cupid’s bow.

Today, I’m at home and I decided to try Lenox again, paired with Tarteist Latergram, the closest match I’ve got – I probably should’ve used Milani’s Anti-Feathering universal lipliner, but that’ll be tomorrow’s experiment. Yesterday, I wore a different, regular bullet lipstick to the beach. I did what I was supposed to do, but it still didn’t stay put. Same thing as the day before, I grabbed a bottle of water, drank half of it, and my cousin again pointed out that my lipstick was feathering. Next day, I wore the same lipstick back to the beach, but this time I paired it with Tarteist Lipliner in Latergram, a deluxe sample that I received in my May Sephora Play bag.Īlthough the shade was not the exact match for the Fiona Stiles Ultrasuede in Lenox that I thought it was going to be, it wasn’t awful, almost close enough (and on its own, it’s really pretty). I resolved that this liquid lipstick must be worn with a lipliner, but then I knew that even before I decided to skip it. My cousin Gordon kindly pointed out to me that my lipstick bled: both the upper and bottom lip. It was hot at the beach and I was thirsty so I drank a bottle of water. Also, you can see that I didn’t exfoliate my lips first. I decided to do the torture test – skip the lipliner. So I thought I’d test it out immediately. Seemed like the perfect hybrid formula in the perfect shade for me. I tried a swipe of the lipstick on my arm and I was sold: opaque, highly pigmented color that dried down somewhat but not completely matte but left a nice glossy look. I found a shade that I adored, Lenox, a peachy dusty rose neutral shade.

So I wandered over to the Fiona Stiles section and checked out her liquid lipsticks called Ultrasuede High Intensity Lip Color.ĭescribed as “mattine” (matte satin, ya think?), I thought the formula might work for my dry lips. Unfortunately, none of the shades really suited me. I can’t wear matte liquid lipstick so I looked at the Anastasia glosses. I’ve heard great things about Anastasia Liquid Lipstick, so I thought I’d buy one. I’m nearing the end of my tried-and-true Urban Decay Anti-aging Eye Primer, so I picked up another tube. I needed to buy a gift for a friend, and far be it for me to not take advantage of a beauty sale to replace a staple and/or try something new. It's been an indispensable item in my kit for decades, something I simply can't work without.Ulta Beauty emailed me a 20% off coupon last week that was good for most prestige brands and products. I love to use it on a small cotton bud to perfect eyeliner or clean up smudged mascara without disturbing the rest of the makeup. It's fragrance-free, which can be hard to come by in beauty products, and doesn't need to be rinsed off after using it. Models ask for it by name when they ask for makeup remover because they know it can remove ever trace of makeup quickly without irritating their eyes, even waterproof products, and is incredibly gentle on the skin. Anytime I was in Paris for the fashion shows I would stock up on bottles of this and bring it back home (as would every other makeup artist on the team).
