Formula is same, they are matte and drying, long staying. Shade 32 is slightly watery though, but it felt the same on the lips. These do need two layers unlike the usual Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks. Since all the shades are very deep and dark, one layer would not cover entire lips and some areas might be left uneven and patchy. Two layers works well and covers lips completely.
All the shades would work for pretty much all skin tones, as all are deep.
Three of the six shades are perfect Indian bridal shades, 31, 32 and 34. They are deep red/brown/burgundy which work well with the red Indian wear. Especially 32 Brass Class is a perfect Indian bridal shade.
L-R: 31.32.33.34.35.36
31 CARMINE SHINE – Metallic Bright Red
32 BRASS CLASS – Deep Bronze Brown
33 AMETHYST TWIST- Metallic Plum
34 MERLOT GLOW – Metallic Burgundy
35 RADIANT CURRANT – Metallic Burnt Blackened Red
36 PINK CLINK Metallic – Rose Gold
I love 32, 33 and 36. Let me know your favourite shades in the comments below 🙂

Shades:
01 Muslin Mauve (Mauve Nude)
02 Plush Pink (Deep Rose Pink)
03 Velvet Violet (Dark Raspberry)
04 Crêpe Coral (Peachy Coral)
05 Poplin Plum (Blackened Plum)
06 Taffeta Terracotta (Terracotta Brown)
07 Tweed Taupe (Taupe Rose)
08 Brocade Burgundy (Burgundy)
09 Felt Fawn (Grey-toned Beige Nude)
10 Satin Scarlet (Red)
It comes in a frosted, transparent packaging with a black cap. The cap of one of my lipcolour broke though, it was too tight and stuck and a part of the cap broke. However didn’t have an issue with any other lipcolour. They are formulated and manufactured in Italy.
These are different from the previous Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks. These are not drying and are very comfortable on the lips. They have a velvet matte finish and a moussey formula. They stay for about 6-7 hours. They take time to dry though, they take about 3-4 minutes to dry completely but once set, they don’t transfer. They would survive light tea, drinks, snacks, etc. but if you have a full oily meal, then these would fade from the center and will need reapplication.
Velvet Violet shade was slightly patchy, rest were all pretty good and easy to apply. You can wear these even if you have dry lips, because these don’t accentuate fine lines or suck the moisture out of your lips.
Overall I would say, I do find these a little expensive but the formulation is very good. Pick a shade if you don’t have any such similar shades already.
My favourite shades are Muslin Mauve, Taffeta Terracotta, Tweed Taupe and Felt Fawn.
Huda Beauty Liquid Lipsticks Trendsetter, Video Star Review, Swatches
By Samia
Hey everyone!
Recently, Huda Beauty has been sweeping people off their feets all over the globe. It is a brand that promises chic, top-notch products with the best features. In fact, people are so blown away that they are paying over-the-top prices just to buy fake liquid lipsticks which carry the same name. Today, I will be reviewing the two most famous Huda Beauty Liquid Lipsticks: Trendsetter and Video Star. Let’s jump right into it, shall we?
Where to Buy: Available on Amazon.in, shophudabeauty.com etc.
Price: 20$ or 1200 INR (approx.) for 6 ml.
Product Claims: Introducing Huda Beauty’s latest lip beautifier: the Liquid Matte, an unrivaled take on the liquid lipstick. The tried and true comfort-wear formula is infused with an exclusive complex to help maintain the lips’ hydration. The lightweight formula glides on a thin coat of color that intensifies as it sets to a matte, transfer-free finish with amazing staying power.
Directions to use: Simply apply with the applicator directly onto your lips and wait a few seconds for it to dry.
Needless to say, Trendsetter and Video Star are the most trendy shades from the collection. First off, the packaging is pretty sturdy. The packaging is strong and ensures that even if a clumsy person (read: me) drops it, it prevents the container from breaking. The packaging is translucent and you can easily see the shade from outside, although, it looks a little different when applied. It’s pretty travel friendly as you can slip it in and out of your pockets or even keep it in the slimmest of clutches. No problem!
The shade Trendsetter is a muted, coral shade that would suit most skin tones as it matches up to them while Video Star is a bright pink shade. The liquid lipstick dries super fast and gives a matte finish. It is super pigmented and gives enough color in one single application.
The consistency of the liquid lipsticks is smooth and very creamy which makes it easy to apply it. If you have chapped lips, it might settle into the fine lines, so I recommend wearing a lipbalm underneath,beforehand. Moreover, the liquid lipstick is waterproof. The shades make your lips look fuller and bigger.
Top- Video Star, Bottom- Trendsetter
There is a very particular chocolate scent that you can easily detect. Even if you have a sensitive nose, you will love this one! It fades away after some time so you won’t have a big problem anyway. Overall, the bold color from ‘Video Star’ is a Nicki Minaj kind of shade and would make your face pop. The color is very bright and intense.
Video StarTrendsetter
They are very comfortable and light weight on the lips. The staying power is around 7-8 hours but these cannot survive heavy meals and would most likely fade or smudge off from the oiliness of food. But above all, you can be assured that it would survive light meals and snacks easily. You can take it off with a makeup remover, some oil or petroleum jelly or cleansing milk.
Overall Verdict: The Huda Beauty Liquid Lipsticks in Trendsetter and Video Star can multitask according to your needs and make your pout look droolworthy. The shades are oh-so- chic and highly pigmented. The scent is to die for. Overall, they are a must-have in your vanity and I would highly suggest getting your hands on them the second you spot them!
Arezia Matte Me Liquid Lipstick Rose Blossom Review – Sleek Matte Me Dupe?
By Samia
Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I’ve been high for a few days (not literally) and I went on a little shopping spree. I bought a ton of stuff. (read: makeup) Anyways, I really enjoyed using Arezia Matte Me Liquid Lipstick in Rose Blossom that I got and I thought that I should share the review with you!
Where to Buy: Available on Amazon.in, Myntra.com etc.
Price: 220 INR for 6 ml.
Product Claims: Weightless liquid color with a velvety matt finish. Earth shattering intense color stays true for up to 24 hours.
Directions to use: Simply apply with the applicator directly onto your lips.
Ingredients:
This is the dupe of the Sleek Matte Me ‘Bright Pink’ lip cream. I have tried that one as well so, in the end you would get to know how it worked for me in comparison to the Sleek ones.
So, first things first, the packaging is super chic, sturdy and strong. It is really good quality. I dropped it (accidentally) almost 4 times and it didn’t get a single scratch. It’s perfect for clumsy people like me.
Coming to the lipstick, this liquid lipstick dries really fast. It is highly pigmented and a single application is enough for one smooth finish and there is no need for a second coat. I tried it in a makeup store and it immediately caught my heart. The pink color would suit almost all skin tones. It is not too bright and not too dull, but a perfect combination of the two.
The consistency is smooth and creamy, which makes it super easy to apply. It sets into a matte finish within a few seconds. It might accentuate the fine lines of your lips if you have chapped lips so I recommend applying a lip balm underneath. I also recommend using a lip scrub or anything else that fulfills the same purpose, before applying it.
The scent of this one is undetectable, so people who have sensitive noses wouldn’t have a problem. It is a bold, bright pink color which instantly changes your personality and your look.
The color is very opaque and intense. You can apply with complex, dark smokey eye look to give a bold, complicated and mysterious look OR you can go for a neutral look with lighter tones of nude.
Moreover, this liquid lipstick is waterproof and stays more than 8 hours. It makes your lips look fuller and bigger with this. I am really impressed by the staying power. It takes quite a lot of effort to take it off too.
The Sleek Makeup ones cost about 4.99 to 7 Euros which is approximately 374 Rs to 500 Rs. But these are available for 150 Rs onwards! So, you are actually getting it for half the price.
Overall Verdict: After all, the best matte lipsticks are the ones that can multitask according to your needs. Arezia Matte me liquid lipstick is simply gorgeous and really useful to have in your kit, so don’t waste time and grab a couple of your favorites! I highly recommend trying it.
Editor’s Note: I have two of the Sleek Matte Me Lipsticks and I have been wanting to try these Arezia ones since quite some time now. Will check them out. Welcome Samia
PAC Retro Matte Gloss New Shades 41 to 48 Swatches
Hi guys,
I had reviewed and swatched the PAC Retro Matte Gloss V2.0, the shades from 21 to 40 HERE. PAC has added a lot of new shades in their Retro Matte Gloss collection.
I have 8 of them and here are my thoughts.
Claims:
Lightweight, non-drying formula
Opaque payoff with just one swipe!
Dries down matte right after one swipe!
For best results: Avoid oily food & exfoliate before using liquid lipsticks
They have the same packaging as the V2.0 and the same improved formula which isn’t that drying.
These are super pigmented, you need just one layer with these. The qty is pretty good and better than the usual liquid lipsticks which is around 5ml.
L-R: 41 to 48
They settle to a matte finish within a minute. I prefer using a lip balm underneath and applying it over the lip balm, that way they won’t be completely transfer proof but very, very comfortable. Also my lips are super dry, so this method works well.
All the new shades they have launched are fall/winter appropriate, shades of nudes/berries/warm oranges/pumpkin spice latte 😀
They have names too along with numbers which makes it much easier. I have the shades:
The shade Sandstorm is very similar to the NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick in Sandstorm. My favourites are Rose Tea, Sandstorm and Broken Heart. Rose Tea I absolutely love, this shade would work across all skin tones and I highly recommend it! Sanstorm is a very good nude for medium to deep skin tones and Honey Bun for light skin tones.
The deeper shades would work across all skin tones and are apt for the season. Overall I do love the new shades, the nudes and deep fall shades are different from the usual pinks and reds. Love the shade range this time.
So PAC revamped their retro matte gloss formula and now we have a new packaging too. Also they introduced 20 more shades, so now there are in total 40 shades.
All the shades 1 to 40 are now sold in the new formula and packaging, and are available on Amazon.
It comes in this new ombre black and the shade colour packaging i.e. red, pink, nude at the bottom as per the shade. All the shades have numbers though, there are no names.
It has a flat tip applicator, I do prefer this applicator in liquid lipsticks as the broader applicators smear on the edges and corners of lips and give no control.
21 to 25
As per the claims, it is indeed very light weight and opaque in one swipe. These are very pigmented, you will need a good solid oil based makeup remover to take these off. But they don’t feel heavy on the lips, in fact I was testing these at home and I didn’t feel like I had anything on my lips.
26 to 30
They don’t have any smell/fragrance which is good. They take about 1-2 minutes to dry down completely and once set, they are smudge proof and transfer proof. So be careful while applying, because you won’t be able to correct mistakes later.
31 to 35
They stay for about 4-5 hours and the deeper colours for 6-7 hours, the only problem is they fade away quickly from the center in about 1-2 hours, so you will need to reapply at the center.
36 to 40
They are not very drying, but you will need to use a lip balm beneath because it will emphasize fine lines on the lips like all matte liquid lipsticks.
I love the new shades they have introduced, especially 36 to 40. There are no Indian brands which have shades like 36 to 40, a good true nude brown, and an orangey brown.
36, 37 and 38 I feel are quite similar to Kat Von D Liquid Lipsticks in Double Dare, Lolita and Lolita II respectively.
There are good berries/wines and chocolate brown too. Rest of them are reds, pinks and peaches.
Overall, I would say the new formula, packaging, shades are really good. I like the price and quantity too. I do recommend them.

Sugar Cosmetics Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks Review, Swatches

There is also a video if in case you are interested in that..

Size: 4.5ml
Shades Available: 10
01 Brazen Raisin
02 Brink of Pink
03 Tan Fan
04 Plum Yum
05 Rust Lust
06 Tangerine Queen
07 Rethink Pink
08 Wine and Shine
09 Suave Mauve
10 Drop Dead Red
I have 4 shades with me..
Brazen Raisin: Looking to announce every entry of yours without saying a word? Up your lip game to bold burgundy with the Brazen Raisin shade that’s as addictive as it is badass!
Brink of Pink: Raring to have a carefully careless day with your BFFs where good times aren’t measured by the hour? Sport Brink of Pink with its dusty mauve hue to amp up the smile on your lips and the laughter in your heart!
Tan Fan: A fan of deep-toned taupe that defines the timeless nude of the 90s? Get your hands on Tan Fan with its muted brown and pink that will give you the perfect look to pair with smokey eyes
Rust Lust: Walk into every room like you own it with Rust Lust – a terracotta red shade that strikes a delicate balance between the reds and the browns to make your pout stand out without a hint of doubt!
The packaging is exactly like the Maybelline Lip Polish. It is transparent with a black cap and the clear product inside in the shape of a lipstick bullet at the end.
The wand is slightly small and not doe foot, but that help in being precise on the corners though. You do not get a lot of product in one dip as the dispensing hole is narrow and you may have to dip twice to cover the lips well.
It has a faint vanilla scent which is quite nice. Formula wise, it is super pigmented and neither runny nor too goopy. Glides on well and easy to apply. It takes about 1-2 minutes to dry completely and once set, it won’t budge or move. So be careful while applying.
Initially it may feel super drying, but lips get used to it in about 10-15 minutes, if you are used to matte liquid lipsticks though. If you prefer satin, creamy finish liquid lipsticks, this is not for you! These are drying and you need exfoliated, moisturised lips for using these. If you have very dry lips, these would accentuate the dryness even more.
SunlightIndoors
The formula is pretty similar to Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks. If you prefer the Ultra Satin ones, you will find these drying. Once dried, these don’t budge at all! No transfer, no smudging, the color ain’t going anywhere. In fact, even while removing these, you would need a good oil based makeup remover to take them off.
T: Brazen Raisin, Brink of Pink B: Tan Fan, Rust Lust
They do fade away from the inside part of the lips though, like all matte liquid lipsticks. Especially when you have oily, greasy food. They stay for 4-5 hours before fading from the inside part, but still look as good overall. You will just need to reapply on the inside part.
I love the fact that they have nudes, pinks, reds, plums, all colors. And also they have priced it very reasonably! I was expecting 699-799 as they usually have that range, I am glad it is around 500 this time.
I would recommend the Sugar Liquid Lipsticks only if you are used to wearing matte formulas and are ok with the drying part. But that does come with the advantage of long staying, non transfer color and no touch ups 😀
I love each of the 4 shades, but Tan Fan and Rust Lust are just amazing! I definitely recommend these two, they are must haves.
Also if you order Fab Bag, you would be getting one of these next month 😀 You get to choose your own shade and I have chosen Suave Mauve. I would be swatching that in the Fab Bag post or adding it here, so watch out for that shade.
These were the shades I found a little unique and different, apart from the usual reds and pinks.
What do you feel about the new Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks? Your favourite shade?
