Love at first swatch <3

It's not everyday a girl comes across lipsticks she can truly see no real fault in. Now if you're going to learn anything about me in this blog, it's that I am a lipstick FANATIC. I love all things lips haha. So when I kept hearing about these Maybelline lalaque and matte lipsticks, I knew I had to test them out for myself. And all I can say is "WOW". These babies pack a punch.

Super rich, moisturizing, creamy, matte and semi gloss finish that doesn't cling onto any dry patches on your lips. I would say it's a nice hybrid between a lipstick and a gloss. If you're looking for an affordable, comfortable, and longwearing lip product, then look no further than the Rimmel London Provocalips. Available in 10 shades, the range encompasses the neutral, everyday hues to bold and vampy shades. I picked up five: 120 Pucker Up, 200 I'll Call You, 310 Little minx, 230 Kiss fatal, and 500 Kiss me you fool.

Easily one of the most pigmented lip products I have come across, lets just say that there is no need to layer these on. These dual ended liquid lipsticks contain on one end the color and the other houses a thick, waxy balm. Upon initial application, the liquid color is quite glossy but give it 2 minutes to dry to a matte finish. Once it dries, there is no transfer or bunching. My lips get quite dry so I can't wear them as is; the balm side is a must for me. It does add a bit of sheen to the color but it's not glossy or shiny. The balm lasts about 4-5 hours on me without eating or drinking. Though I do have to be honest with you all and say that I love the matte's more then the shiny ones, but that's just me.

The applicator on these liquid lipsticks is just the standard, doe foot wand. My only big issue with these is that too much product comes out on the wand when you are applying, hence resulting in me over applying the product and getting outside of my lip lines. I'll be the first to admit that my upper lip is almost nonexistent :/ so it's a bit problematic at times.

When it comes to my makeup mantra, the longer lasting it is, the better. Touching up my makeup is the last thing on my mind during a hectic day. When I come home at the end of the day, I'm always surprised at how wrecked I look, vowing to touch up more tomorrow.... but I never do, haha but with these there really is no need :)

Rimmel London claims that they last up to16 hours....I'm not 100% sold on that time frame but all in all I love them so far. As far as the removal process goes for these, it is a bit of a pain in the bum. I would recommend either cleansing oil's or an oil based makeup remover. Trust me on this; I tried with just a regular make up wipe and no luck.

These might be a tough find since they were limited edition. They came out a while ago now and it took me a lot of searching and hunting down to get the ones I wanted. But don't worry I've got you covered, I'll link a few websites below as to where you can find them ^_^
