Dark Purple Matte Liquid Lipstick, Non-stick Waterproof Lipstick (5ml)

Perfect for Mardi Gras krewe

Love love love!! The color is everything and it stays on all day.

The color is spot on. It dries as a perfectly black matte color. It does take a little time for the sticky moment to pass. Of course you can speed that up by pressing your lips on a napkin (I used a folded piece of paper). Once dry, it doesn't rub off easily at all! Its very much there to stay. The trouble with that is because its matte and not a gloss, it's not very moisturizing so your lips feel dry at first which might not be good for all day every day wear. After a while though it feels like there'snothingon your lips. If it still feels too dry you can hydrate them with a clear lip gloss, or something similar, but doing so does make the lipstick easier to remove (which is a good tip for cleaning it off later, I believe anything oil based would work like a charm). Overall, I do like it as I would only use it for a few hours to an event or something.

I've been looking for a long-lasting purple lipstick in this particular shade, which isn't sufficiently fashionable for the more reliable drugstore brands, apparently. Other ones I've tried have all flaked off after a couple hours, but this one holds up well, even when drinking and eating - no flaking, no smudging. When first applied, it does have sort of a thin watery texture and dries a little slower than I'm used to, so that when I tried to blot it initially, it all came right off. But when allowed to dry fully, it is more durable than any of the other lipsticks in this color that I've tried. (And I don't expect perfection for $5, anyway!)

It doesn't have great coverage and is a little sticky for a lipstick. Worked great for conventions and cosplay tho. Thin it down with a gloss and it works great.

Perfect! Just what I've been searching for!

I got the black color. Feels very silky on my lips, only needed one coat for full coverage, so very easy to apply! Definitely recommend using lip liner as well. It did get flaky after an hour or two, but applying gloss over the top helped. Didn't smudge, and was actually quite difficult to get off (which isn't a bad thing for lipstick!)

I am very disappointed with this lip color. It is not hot pink. It is a bright pink and though I like the color, that is not what I was looking for. Sadly, this is the least of the problems. The texture of this lip color is similar to wet flour. And the application and coverage is about what you might expect from wet flour. While the pigment is good, this does not have good coverage. It took 4 coats to get a complete coverage. (No skin showing through.) The result looked thick and caked. It felt thick, caked and sticky. And it wore about as well as flour. Within minutes the product started to form little balls on my lips as they moved. After an hour, I checked myself in the mirror. Most of the lip color was gone. With only a messy sort of crust around the outer edge of my lips. I always wash my face good before applying any makeup as I have oily skin. I washed my face again and reapplied 1 coat. The result was not much better. The lip color performed the same as my first try. Just with less mess. This product makes dollar store makeup look good. I do not expect to purchase anything made by 7V Home Beauty again.
