Don't kill me for talking about this liquid lipstick after the whole world has raved about it, but a heart wants what it wants. Jeffree Star is beautiful, we love his boisterous personality and bold language. He has no filter and that is ok, because his beauty products are THE shit (means "great" in case you didn't know that "The Shit" is a slang" but hey here is an addition to your dictionary, yaas!).
I bought Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick in Masochist because it just wont get out of my head. Who doesn't love bold, matte lips, yea?! After a bit of thinking and convincing I placed an order, then waited anxiously to receive my lippy. I am glad it took me a few months before I reviewed it though because liquid lipstick formulas apparently can change through time.
The BRAND Claims:
"The color of crushed berries on ice. This dark pink matte lipstick is cool toned and extremely addictive. Our liquid lipstick goes on opaque, dries completely matte and stays on for hours! This product is 100% vegan & cruelty-free! (tips before use: exfoliate then apply to bare lips! Avoid food with oil… and no making out, kisses are ok!)"

Well, I do love the packaging. The barbie pink color with gold text, the overall feel is fresh, fun and the quality doesn't feel cheap. I even like the shape of the tube itself and it has a nice lock feature, you will hear a click when you close the cap. That ensure its definitely air tight. It is also great to see the shade of the lippy through the clear acrylic bottle.
Not too sure about the wand. I do like the fact it is wide from the top so makes application easier, but it gets a bit weird after a few weeks. I know Jeffree criticized Kylie cosmetics for her wand but to be honest even his sponge applicator goes a bit poofed -up and messy after a few weeks. Always good to practice and use lip brush, every liquid lippie applies like a dream.
MASOCHIST is a gorgeous deep, reddish raspberry shade with cool undertones. The Velour liquid lipstick has a huge, always growing, range of colors and you will want to have them all, but I started with masochist. This shade literally makes me swoon.
The formula is very creamy yet thin; does tend to become more mousse-like later. You may, at times, need to shake the bottle before applying as the product tends to settle. One swipe application is enough as it is intensely pigmented and opaque. Goes on your lips smooth and velvety, doesn't make them look brittle at all and I love that. It doesn't dry or suck the life out of your lips. My only concern is that the formula tends to thicken in a few months, I suppose you need to use these as often as possible then. It's been 6 months and now the application feels a bit tacky, sadness!
The lippies are not 100% transfer proof and I experienced that while eating as well as drinking hot and cold beverages. However, they stay put for long hours and don't crumr lips look messy.
Though many complain about the chemical smell I am fine with it, I only smell fruity. It is vegan and paraben free as well. The color doesn't bleed and you will definitely need a makeup remover to wipe it off.
I personally love this formula and shade so already placed an order for two more shades (wait for it!). The original price is $18 but I ordered through a re-seller in Pakistan so it cost me $24+. It is available on Jeffree Star website as well as Morphe website. The good news is if you don't want to buy through a re-seller you can order through Morphe as they ship to Pakistan, hallelujah!

Not just mine. I did research. Sadly Jeffree star lipsticks do thicken in a couple of months, especially masochist. I still love the finish though I am sure they will improve
DeleteI been wanting to get this shade and now I see why, it's beautiful! I love the formula and I agree it transfers when you eat oily food but other than that it stays put for a long time. Though it does crumple if your lips aren't properly hydrated and prepped. :) x
