Bellegant Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks

Bellegant Cosmetics is an indie makeup company which I discovered on Instagram. It has it's own website so makes shopping very easy. They sell various makeup products for lips, eyes, and face. They are also cruelty free and vegan(I believe). I got three liquid lipsticks to try during their any 3 lip products for $30 plus free shipping promo. These liquid lipsticks are more like liquid form of lipsticks because they are rich in pigmentation. They don't dry down to a matte finish at all, and they have pretty decent wearing time. I find them very comfortable on the lips, and there are so many unique colors as well as neutrals for everyone. They recently just came out with few metallic ones which are really beautiful as well. The shipping was pretty fast, and packaged in a black mesh pouch inside a bubbled envelope. You can watch my video review here:








From Left to Right: Cookie, Miss Tangy, and Rosey.
I like Rosey the most because of it's thinner and lightweight consistency. The color is very flattering and soft which will suit everyone. It feels most moisturizing out the three and remains comfortable throughout the day. I do like the other two but they are much more dense and creamier. I used Cookie on a photoshoot, and the model had caramel complexion. It worked out to be the perfect pale nude for her and didn't wash her out. It applied beautifully and didn't accentuate any fine lines/dry patches on the lips. I like Missy Tangy for it's warm and rich orangey brown color. It's quite flattery on me, and I can see myself wearing it more often in the upcoming Fall season. Overall, I think Bellegant cosmetics makes great products. They also have amazing highlighters which I want to give a try as well. Follow them on Instagram as they upload swatches, new product launches, as well as promo sales/discounts quite often:)

Pretty Zombie Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks


I picked up three shades from Pretty Zombie Cosmetics after hearing so much about them on Instagram. They are retailed at $12 each with a flat rate USPS shipping to any USA address for $5.75. For Canada is $11, and $13 everywhere else. There are mostly dark, vampy, and gothic looking colors for this line of liquid lipstick. Pretty appropriate for the company name. This is an indie makeup brand/company, and it's vegan and cruelty-free! Really awesome that more and more cruelty-free and vegan brands are coming out to the makeup market. More companies need to follow this footstep! Anyways, I'm really happy with these liquid lipsticks. Not only there are many darker shades to choose from, the formula is great. These are super intense, highly pigmented, and opaque colors. One swipe is all you need. The consistency is somewhat similar to a ColourPop ultra matte/ultra satin. It's kind of in between as I mentioned in the review video. It's definitely a liquid and not a mousse texture. It dries to a completely matte finish but not transfer proof. It's comfortable like the CP ultra satin on the lips, but feels just a little bit on the drier side. However, it's much more comfortable comparing to CP ultra matte because it doesn't suck the life out of my lips. These are forgiving even on textured/dry lips because of it's rich pigmentation. Each one of these are pretty consistent throughout in terms of color payoff and texture. You won't experience any patchiness in these at all. I love how they look all very dark, but still distinguished with their differences. The packaging on these is simple and straightforward. It's the same as Lonely Planet Co's liquid lipstick packaging where the tube is clear so that you can see the shade, and the logo/name are on the cap. This also include the ingredient list on the side of the tube so you know what's in them. I think it's very neat, and the pin-up looking greenish zombie girl logo is very inviting. For the price and quality of this line of liquid lipsticks, I highly recommend these to everyone who's into liquid lipsticks, dark/vamp lip colors, and makeup addicts!

Impulse Cosmetics Duochrome Matte Lip Lacquers

I purchase all the shades from Impulse Cosmetics' Duochrome Matte Lip Lacquers line. They were having an offer of all the sample sized bundle deal on their website. All 17 shades mini sized for $50.83 plus shipping(free shipping with $100 order). You can also get them individually for $2.99 each for mini size, or $10.99 for full size. Most of these shades are Limited Edition, and I just realized that I'm missing two of the shades here, Poe and Jade. Apparently there are another two shades, Lilly and Serendipity, that's now on the website. Two of the shades that I have are already discontinued. I need to get the other four shades so I can update the swatches here. I absolutely love them and the formula. They dry very quickly into a completely matte finish. The duochrome effect is subtle because of the shimmery pigments in each one. The textures are thin and don't feel gritty on the lips. The color selection is vast and unique. They are comfortable on the lips and some stain as well. They are also long wearing unless you eat something very oily. They feel absolutely weightless on the lips throughout the day. I can't find anything negative about these. They also have a whole line of Matte Lip Lacquers which I will be getting some samples soon. 



This one is my favorite out of the ones that I have, and I have few favorites, but I will definitely purchase a full size of this color.
