MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer

Hi makeup addicts!!! Today’s review is on the recent raved product MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer. I have a huge problem with the staying power of the lipsticks on my lips. Most of the lipstick do not stay put on my lips. When I heard the word “Lacquer” I was like hmmmm…. this sounds like a lip paint..I should give it a try. Well I did, and do not regret buying it!

Packaging is so nice!!! 

Website says about this product:

“Smooch your way to red carpet glamour with MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers. Long - lasting and kiss proof, these intense formulas come in five rich, vampy shades. Encased in chic frosted glass packaging, these lacquers glide on with the ease of a gloss, drying in seconds into a matte velvety texture. They are the ultimate make-up bag must have.”

I bought three of the five colors: Reckless, Funk and Kooky. All of the three colors are gorgeous! I got it from Asteria, Bangladesh.

They look gorgeous!! 

Here are the main features of MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers

• £3 each
• Opaque, high pigmented. Those who have pigmented lips go for it….it hides everything on your lips! Dipping the applicator into the lacquer just once is enough to get full coverage.
• Glides on the lip smoothly. Creamy in texture but when dry it becomes matte
•  Fast drying. It takes about 2/3 minute to dry completely.
• Don’t press your lips together while drying otherwise it will smear.
•  It has doe foot tip applicator
•  The packaging is really good. It looks like a high end product. The tub is made of frosted plastic.
•  It is a long lasting lip lacquer.  I tend to eat normal lipsticks…I guess. But this lip lacquer was on my lips for 6 hours or more after eating oily food; it was a bit faded and when I got back home it was still there but bit more faded, but it was still there. I used a lip liner under this lip lacquer - it seemed to extend the staying power.
•  When the lip lacquer dries I feel nothing on my lips. It feels very light. I used it in the winter and it doesn’t feel too dry on the lips. Although I put a lip balm before I applied this on my lips. Make sure you take off the excess lip balm gently with a tissue paper before applying the lip lacquer.
• It is 100% transfer proof. I had a glass of water after the lip lacquer dried. It did not left any stain on the glass. Also I press my lips on a tissue paper there was almost no stains on it.

Cons:

•  It can settle on the lines of the lips
•  If you have dry lips and don’t use lip balm before applying it this lip lacquer may feel very dry on the lips and won’t look good.
•  It is so opaque and pigmented that if you make a mistake when applying, it will take quite a bit of effort fixing it.
•  Only 5 color options.

You should keep in mind while applying:

1. Use a lip balm before applying the lip lacquer. But take off the excess lip balm.
2. Line the lips and fill it up with a lip liner (preferably a water proof lip liner) of the same color of the lip lacquer.
3. DO NOT layer the product on lips. Otherwise it won’t stay put and will be clumpy.
4. Don’t press the lips together while applying and drying.

Funk! A lovely pink color which has blue undertone. But I think it is a bit too bright for my skin tone, I am NC 42-44

Reckless....my favorite!! 

Kooky. I like this color too. But it is a bit darker than it looks in the picture

kooky and funk mixed. I like this mixture. It's not so kooky not so funk. 

1. Doe foot tip applicator 2. Reckless, Funk, kooky in day light. 3. Didn't smudg a bit after I held my hands under running water. 

Hope you enjoyed the review. Please let me know if it helped.
