Hey
everyone!
I
can’t ever get enough of lipstick – especially liquid lipstick. There’s no
limitation on it, there’s nothing such as ‘I have enough makeup’ because enough
is never enough #swag #nope. I have tons of lipstick because I’m such a fool
and I have no self-control…and I hate myself. Just kidding, I love makeup.
Recently
(or recently in Indonesia), Maybelline came out with a new liquid lipstick
called Vivid Matte Liquid. Actually I wasn’t planning in buying it, but because
it was a free (which was buy 2 get 1), I purchased it. I have such a mixed feeling about this – let’s check it out.
Packaging
The
packaging is beautiful. The black cap complements well with the rest of the
packaging. In the bottom of the packaging, the shape is like the shape of a
lipstick which is kind of cute. The applicator is as always – doe foot
applicator. I don’t find any problem with the applicator which is good too. After
I did some research, I just knew that this is the same product as velvet matte
lipstick like the one in the US. Asian version has a different packaging as the
US but they are the same product! Here are the differences.

Asian Version
Shades
I’m
on the shade Mat 12. I guess they only have numbers and not name on it. The color
is kind of nude-brown color which is totally my kind of color. It’s wearable
for everyday and natural makeup. I think it’s also perfect on every skin tone
because the color is just a basic color.
Review
I
have kind of mixed feelings with this product. I know they said it’s vivid
which is the kind of velvet, but they claimed it to be matte liquid which I don’t
find it true. When I purchased it, I knew that it will be kind of satin liquid
lipstick which is creamy, transfer, and not really long-lasting. But
surprisingly, it’s not satin yet it’s also not matte. Do you know what I mean? It’s
in the middle of satin and matte. Because when you applied it, it does not set
as satin (creamy) yet it doesn’t set as matte (dry). It’s just in the between
creamy and matte which is kind of confusing, huh? Lol. It felt as if it’s
trying to be matte but it doesn’t reach in the matte ‘category’. It does
transfer but it’s not too satin as I expected.
Okay,
let’s just narrow it down, shall we?
Pros:
I
love the finish which is not too satin.
It
does not crack or drying your lips
Color
is really pretty. They have quite big range of colors.
Cons:
It
transfers, which is annoying to me. But it does not say it will not transfer,
so…

Conclusion
Overall, I don’t feel
anything special with this product. I mean it’s not bad, but it’s not special
either. I feel that there are tons of liquid lipsticks that just the same as
this one and I feel that Maybelline lipsticks are all the same texture as this
one. But it’s cheap, it does not hurt at all if you want to have this. It’s
also travel-friendly because it’s small which makes you easier to re-touch.
