3ce lipstick

I’m finally writing the nhận xét for these! lớn be honest, I’m not sure why it had taken me so long because I’ve been using these since I first got them (and formed an opinion quite quickly) but I guess that I’ve been putting it off while getting so stuck into my new colourpop lipsticks. Alas, I’ve finally decided lớn write this đánh giá now because I only have a week until I head off to japan for three weeks and, after that, I’m expecting that I will have some Japanese products to review and more kbeauty products coming in the mail as well! Basically, it’s going lớn get busy on here, & I’m excited.

Moving on, this is my đánh giá on 3CE’s Liquid Lip Color. I picked up a few of these when I was in Korea split over two or three visits. I actually thought that I only had two of the colours but was surprised lớn find out that I bought four – this always happens to me. Either way, I was totally suckered in by the dễ thương packaging và the super opaque colours. This was one of the first liquid lipsticks that I had used since this became a trend (I first used matte liquid lipsticks – on performances – when I was maybe thirteen) so I’ve since been comparing it to a few other formulas that I’ve tried.

Read on for the full review!

So these tubes are really cute. They’re a soft pink colour with a lip illustration on the front, the colour of which is corresponding lớn the product shade. It’s a good indicator when you’re looking for the colour that you’re after. I think I would prefer if the tube was transparent or had a transparent section, as it would make it easier to pick a matching colour for my 3d look) but this is sufficient when you don’t have too many of them. The four shades that I picked are all quite different, but I would have trouble if they were similar.

The cap has a sticker seal when it’s new and is a twist open design. Overall, it’s quite sturdy and easy lớn carry around. Unlike the Colourpop, I have no trouble with the print scratching off or anything. The design is very modern & simple, but still has a very on-brand trendiness. 3CE is really great with their packaging & brand design, so this isn’t surprising at all.

These are the colours that I bought: Be Dashed, Lazy, Lowdown and Charmed. Lazy (a purple-burgundy shade) was the first that I bought & easily my favourite of the bunch.

So the cap screws mở cửa with a sort of… fluffy applicator? The applicator is hard, so don’t let that fluff deceive you, it’s not soft. The texture does help the application apply more blended và without streakiness. Similarly lớn a puff, I also use it khổng lồ build up the colour on the inner lip. It’s pretty easy to use and can get your relatively defined lines without product build up on the outer edges.

However, this applicator gets clogged up with dried product once you start to use it và it can be a bit difficult or annoying to lớn clean. This is definitely the downside to this product và I definitely prefer the more traditional doe foot applicator, even though this is easier & faster lớn use. It’s just messy, to lớn be honest.

The sản phẩm dispenses when you squeeze from the centre of the tube. I find that most of these formulas are quite thick & cream like, which gives a very opaque but heavy consistency. However, one of them (I think it was Be Dashed) was surprisingly a lot more liquid-like. The formula is lighter but can be streaky, so the colour needs to lớn be build up a little bit more.

The finish is very matte và dry, so it’s preferable to lớn use an exfoliator before hand. I tried to blend other colours and formulas on đứng top of it but, since the lipstick dries really quickly, it is difficult lớn blend. The colours are really beautiful though. Scroll down for the swatches!

< L-R: Charmed, Be Dashed, Lowdown và Lazy >

Overall, these lipsticks definitely have their positives và negatives but I find myself reaching for these often. They last forever, honestly. A lot of people have praises for Colourpop, Pony Effect, NYX, Missha (all of which I have tried) & 3CE is the only brand that really stays on throughout the day for me. Eating, coffee… nothing removes it until I use a biến hóa wipe. The colours are really pretty, vibrant & opaque – though, in retrospect, I think that this shows better when I wear it as opposed to lớn my amateur swatches. I should really learn to be better at this.

The downside to lớn this hàng hóa though, is that it is the thickest và driest formula I have ever worn – seriously. It’s difficult to reapply on vị trí cao nhất because of how thick the formula is as swiping over too much (especially when it’s dry) can cause the previous layer lớn lift & turn streaky. To reapply this, you really vị have to remove it và start from the beginning.

It is dry on the lips but the formula is initially creamy enough not to lớn emphasise dry patches (if that makes sense). Rather than being a painfully dry wear, it just dries up any flakes on your lips enough so that they just… fall or peel off with little effort on your part. Ironically, my lips were softer after using this because all of the dried parts were eventually flaked off. It’s not a comfortable lipstick, but it’s definitely long lasting.

Here’s the verdict!

THE GOOD

Cute (and effective) packagingQuick & easy to applyVibrant, opaque and pretty coloursGood colour selectionSuper long lastingDoes not emphasise dry spots

THE BAD

Thick formulaVery dryingDifficult to lớn reapplyApplicator gets really messyFormula is inconsistent over colour range

WOULD I REPURCHASE?

Yes! I know that the downsides khổng lồ this sản phẩm are quite bad, but I vày love the colours and the longevity of it, so much that it is worthwhile lớn work around the downsides. I usually apply a lip balm before applying the lipstick and, when I need a reapplication sometime during the day, will just start over from scratch. I love the colours of these và the packaging, so I’m definitely looking lớn get more colours.

I would recommend this for people who want a super matte và long lasting finish, but don’t mind if the product is quite drying on the lips. If you want something more comfortable wearing and don’t mind a bit of transfer, Colourpop và Missha are also really great!
