Amoura Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick

Hello everyone! Today I'm reviewing the Amoura Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick for you guys. If you don't already know, Amoura Cosmetics is a local cosmetic brand and based in Malaysia that I never knew existed until my aunt introduced it to me. I believe they carry various beauty products other than lip product, I'm not quite sure. Anyway, I don't want to ramble on too much because that will bore you. So I have two liquid lipsticks to be talking about today and I believe they carry 9 or 10 shades but I only bought two; each retails for RM39. Let's get started with the review!

Packaging

The very first thing is, of course, the physical appearance of the product. Each Amoura Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick comes in a slim and colorful box (refer to the image). The liquid lipsticks are housed in slim, square, and 'high end' looking matte glass tubes with the name Amoura Cosmetics printed on the body. I don't have to say much, I just love the packaging. 

Applicator

It has a doe-foot applicator that seems a bit stiff compared to other brands I've tried but it works well, though. The applicator seems longer too and has a slimmer and pointed end. So easy to use!

Pink Thing - a warm-toned peachy pink shade

Dusty Rose - a cool-toned pinky mauve shade

Formula, texture, pigmentation & longevity

They are claimed to have a creamy matte texture that dries down matte but they are not the extremely drying liquid lipsticks by any means. And I love that. I've used a super drying liquid lipstick in the past and trust me, it's not cute.

Moving on, on the lips, they feel weightless and slightly powdery but in no way suck up the moisture of my lips because one of the ingredients is Shea butter! The formula of it is slightly different than what I used to encounter in a liquid lipstick - it's thin and watery (so be extra careful while applying) that glides on smoothly with medium pigmentation, I'd say. If I can talk negatively about these liquid lipsticks is that they take forever to dry down completely matte. What can I say? I hate waiting.

How about staying power? If you want a super long-wearing lip color, these are not for you. The reason I said that is because these wear about 4-5 hours on me. They don't really survive the eating, drinking, and talking. They will completely come off or wear off in the center and corner of the lips and that's not cute. However, you can always reapply, right? Did I mention that these liquid lipsticks have a strawberry scent and taste? Yes, gurl, they do. And I've always been tempted to test taste them because they smell so good, but if you don't like scented lip products, you will hate these because they can be a little too overwhelming to certain people.

 

Application & removal

With a matte lip cream like this, good lip prep is the key. What I like to do is put on a super thick layer of lip balm before I start my makeup. After I'm done with the base, eye makeup, highlight, and whatnot, I then will remove the lip balm with a tissue, make sure my lips are dry and apply the liquid lipstick. As for the removal part, there's no pain to get these babies off because they are so easy to remove! They will instantly be removed with only wet wipes but I don't have one, so what I like to do is I will remove it using my trusty Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and a gentle rub is all you need. I will apply lip balm on my lips afterward so that they are moisturized and smooth.

Pros

Easy to use and apply

Buildable and doesn't feel thick or heavy

Each shade is distinct from one another 

Not extremely drying - creamy matte texture

Easy to remove

Slightly affordable

Has a nice scent

Cons

Takes forever to dry

Weak staying power 

Phew, what a long post! Overall, I give 3.5 out of 5 for these liquid lipsticks. They are okay but they are not my most-reached lip products. I will continue using them in the future and I don't regret purchasing them. That's all for today's review, I hope you enjoyed and until next time! x
