Me Now Generation-II Long Lasting Lipgloss from ebay
I uploaded a video review about the super inexpensive liquid lipsticks that I came across from ebay. I first saw those after searching for liquid lipsticks on ebay, but I was skeptical about them. I went on YouTube and saw some vloggers reviewing this product. After seeing swatches of them, I decided to give them a try since they are so cheap. When I bought these, they were about $1.22 each. I just checked the same seller's store yesterday, and they are now 99 cents each! Even cheaper than when I purchased them. Shipping can take a while depends on where you live, and it's a international seller from China so it will take few weeks to get to you. I've already talked about the formula, texture, and consistency of this product in my video review. I think I did a pretty thorough review of this product as well as giving some possible dupe options. Although they are not the exact dupes to the higher end liquid lipsticks in my collection, these come quite close in terms of texture. So check out my video below for the review and the lip swatches. I'm also including few shots of close up pictures of the swatches on the back of my hands here. You can purchase these from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/KEUS-34-Colors-Beauty-Makeup-Waterproof-Lip-Pencil-Lipstick-Lip-Gloss-Lip-Pen-/201234374050?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2eda80dda2
Gracie21 on YouTube asked about the ingredients of these lip colors, and I totally forgot to talk about it in the video, but I can't find anything about it's ingredient anywhere. The closest I came to is this:

Close up swatches here:
From left to right is same as above, except this was taken under natural light after they dried.
(02, 16, 18, 22, 32, and 33.) Above 18 is a swatch of Kat Von D's everlasting liquid lipstick in Lolita. Above 22 is a swatch of Kat Von D's everlasting liquid lipstick in Bachelorette. Above 32 is Stila stay all day liquid lipstick in Beso. It's interesting how none of the high end ones looked like the cheaper ones in my video swatch, but they sure look a lot more similar under natural lighting once all dried. I think 18 is a bit lighter than Lolita, and on lips looked very nude. 22 is definitely more of a deeper berry than Bachelorette. Beso is a little more to true red than 32 here because 32 looks almost an orange red in the picture below. I recently got some Rimmel London duo ended long lasting liquid lip colors, and I believe there might be some dupes to these colors as well. Once I upload a separate video review of the Rimmel ones, I will add some swatch comparisons to this post.

UPDATE: A big thank you to commenter MeiLee Ballard for finding the ingredients list for these: isododecane, acrylamide copolymer, kaolin, styrene-ethelyne/propylene, cetearyl alcohol, cera microcristallina, methylparaben and assorted color additives
Description:
It is very long lasting, with velvet and matte effect, the color doesn't fade when drinking and touching. And makeup remover is needed to remove this lipstick. We advice to wear lip balm before put on this lipstick. the texture is frosty, so finger is recommended for applying to make the effect better.One tip for you gals for better effect, hold your mouth open until it's dry, it drys rather quick though.
Note: It dissolves with anything oily and please refrain touching until it is dry, don't rub your lips violently.
Close up swatches here:
Upon initial application, you can see the liquid lipsticks are still wet and semi glossy. You have to let these dry on your lips, and then the wearing time will be a lot longer. Few of them do get sticky when you press your lips together, but it's not a problem when you talk. Some are a little bit creamier almost like the NYX soft matte lip cream, while some are a bit more sheer textured like the Kat Von D everlasting liquid lipsticks. These are super pigmented, and not patchy, well, at least from the ones I got. These all have numbers and no actual names. Below, taken indoor with flash, and the left to right order of the swatches is 02, 16, 18, 22, 32, and 33. I did get an additional duo chrome kind of color, and it hasn't arrived yet. Once I receive that one, I will upload swatches of it below these.
