I expected more from this shade
So I was very pleased with Nudist Colony and so and so pleased with Celebrity Skin, but Malibu Beach House disappointed me big time. There is not enough pigment in this, I kept swiping it and it felt like a lip balm, almost the problem I had with Celebrity Skin where it removed the color underneath when I tried to layer it just to intensify the color because its just not intense enough as it is on the tube ya know, but Celebrity Skin is kinda darker than Malibu Beach House so i made that one work. MBH is just too faint. Also on the tube it looks like a beautiful medium lilac pink and then on the skin its a very light blue based pink and these shades dont flatter me. I saved the day by applying Never by Kleancolor a creamy dark mauve/purple lipliner so it made the color darker. 3 stars because it did last long enough and didnt dry my lips out. I hope he makes a true medium lilac shade, like colourpop's Cheetah lipstick, my fav cool toned lilac lipstick, remember it? discontinued :( And I hope he improves this formula because he raved about it but its a hit or miss depending on the shade. The pics are taken in fluorescent light so that the color looks as it does in neutral light and I never use filters on my pics.
Love the shade
SO I posted a rave review on Nudist colony. Celebrity Skin has also great performance - didnt feel heavy on the lips and lasted about 5 hrs till I removed my makeup. Love the shade, it is to me more of a light brown/beige with a touch of mauve I think. In warm lighting it looks more warm toned light brown and in fluorescent light it shows beige with a touch of grey/mauve. I swatched alot of my light brown/nude lipsticks and didnt find such a nice neutral light brown as Celebrity Skin. I love beige/light brown lipsticks. Star Anise by Bite Beauty is in the same family I think but alot darker. Only downside is when I wanted to build up the color it kinda removed it as I swiped the lipstick, so you have to wait abit before you layer it. This didnt happen with Nudist Colony. But this also really lasted for hours.
love it!
First time ordering from Jeffree, couldnt resist these shades. Im glad he came out with a traditional lipstick because I despise liquid lipsticks and they never work for me. Im gravitating towards cool toned lipsticks in general and so I love these dusty lilac mauvey shades, cannot even describe this color but Nudist Colony is in the same family as my other favs Tea Rose by Elf and Lilac Impulse of L'oreal, both mediocre quality tho, very drying. Velvet Trap in this shade is amazing, the formula is pigmented, smooth and non drying. I wore it to the gym with a mask on and it was still on my lips after I left and I go hard in there. It didnt even transfer on the mask. I have very dry lips and it felt very comfortable. I was impressed cuz lipstick on me becomes a mess after an hour, also I could still rub my lips together and feel the lipstick on them smooth and moisturizing. The smell is like a Mac lipstick. Wore both shades I got the same day for 4-5 hrs each and Nudist Colony is my fav. I dont need to re apply and I get full opacity with two swipes. I expected the color to be abit darker on the lips judging by the lipstick and I wish it was a bit darker but I still love it.
