After watching Shaaanxo's review and swatch video of the Mellow cosmetics' matte lipstick and liquid lip paint, I decided to give this brand a try, and I was not disappointed. This company is based and developed in New Zealand, but manufactured in China. Free shipping to US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand when you purchase over $40. They do have other makeup products for face and eyes as well. I'm in love with this brand's lipstick and liquid lipstick. I used her coupon code and saved a bunch, but it's expired by now. I remember seeing Mellow cosmetics featured in Ipsy glam bags as well, so maybe Ipsy offers coupon code for this makeup brand. Ipsy May glam bag included two shades from Mellow's matte lipstick line, but I didn't get one. I am glad that I got one to try for myself, and I like the formula of it. The ultra matte lipstick ($13USD)comes in a bullet packaging that looks the same as a MAC lipstick, except that the Mellow lipstick has a beige and gold finish instead of black and silver. I think it's quite sleek and chic but classic and sophisticated. The formula is a super matte finish but soft and velvet on the lips. Not much tugging while applying, and remains comfortable on the lips throughout the day. It has a perfume type of vanilla scent which is not that great, but not very noticeable once on the lips. I got the shade Nude, and it's a pinky mauve color that will look nice on everyone. The matte liquid lip paints($14USD) are awesome! I got three shades to try. Two of them because of their names which I explained in my video review, and one because the shade was beautiful. All the colors are very beautiful and wearable from this line. They have a decent shade selection, but what impresses me the most is the formula of their liquid lipstick. It does dry completely matte, and yet goes on silky smooth. It's on the liquid side in terms of formula wise. It is not 100% transfer proof so maybe that's why it's a little bit more long wearing than some of the other ones on the market. I don't really mind with the little transferring because longevity in a liquid lipstick is more important. It stays on very comfortable and weightless throughout the entire day. I don't have to retouch unless I eat something super greasy. I've sat through a lunch with dim sum and oily stir fried noodles, the lipstick still remained intact. I only had to retouch it after eating a hotpot meal, and if you ever had hotpot, you will know the amount of oil and greasy involved in the food/dipping sauce. I am blown away by this liquid lipstick, and I absolutely love the colors I picked up! Tehran is my favorite nude, and it's perfect. Shanghai is a little bit darker, and New York is a gorgeous wine shade. I will definitely recommend these to anyone out there looking for a comfortable and long wearing matte liquid lipstick as well as regular matte lipstick. These are priced at a middle price range comparing to KVD/JS/Stila. I think they are totally worth their prices, and make sure to follow them on social media in case a sale happens.
This lip paint does transfer a little bit, but it's pretty long wearing and very comfortable!
