The Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks have been all the rage. The
whole idea of liquid lipsticks have been a huge tread for this year. I’ve been
on the liquid lipstick train for quite some time now and I get excited anytime
a brand launches their version.
Before my review I wanted to store my buying experience. My original
order for these lipstick consisted of just Pure Hollywood and Vamp. When I got
my package I received Lovely instead of Pure Hollywood. I thought maybe I was
going crazy and that’s what I ordered. When I check my invoice online, I found
out that I was indeed sent the wrong shade. I emailed the Anastasia customer
support and received a reply the next day. Long story short, they let me keep
Lovely and they sent me Pure Hollywood. I was floored but the wonderful
customer service I received. They were quick, polite, and they gave me a $20
product, essentially for free. Thank you, Anastasia!
So first, the price. It’s pretty up there but not horribly unreasonable.
It’s comparable price to other high-end liquid lipsticks. Of all the liquid
lipsticks I’ve tried these stay on the longest and have the best formula. They
are pigmented, long-lasting, and easy to work with. They are however, drying
and unforgiving but that’s just the nature of the beast. I haven’t tried a
liquid lipstick that isn’t going to dry your lips or display every crack and
cease. My advice: proper lip care, there is really no way around this. What I
will often do is apply a lip balm before applying the lipstick. This doesn’t seem
to change the formula or longevity of the lipstick but it does keep my lips
from becoming super dry. It’s like creating a moisture barrier under the
lipstick, it works very well for me.
I ended up picking Pure Hollywood, Vamp and was sent Lovely
by mistake. What’s surprising is that I ended up liking Lovely the most! It’s a
great everyday color. Pure Hollywood is a good mix-in color. It’s a horrible color
on my lips by itself, it makes me look ghostly. It took me forever to figured out
a way to use it effectively. Vamp is a dark burgundy color and because of this
it’s not a color you can just slap on and go. It takes some time to apply and maintenance
throughout the day. I will often mix in Pure Hollywood and Vamp together to get
a wonderful browny-neutral color.
Another nice thing about this product is the lack of smell.
It’s not over powering or noticeable. It’s exactly how I like my lip products.
Overall, I would totally purchase another one but I would
have to select carefully. Because of the price I consider this a splurge
item. I know new shades are launching soon. They always seem to be sold out of
these lipsticks, so it’s definitely a hot product. I totally recommend these.
