Glossier recently reformulated and repackaged their Generation G lipsticks. I want to be less wasteful, so I'm holding off on replacing the shades I already own, including Glossier Like. This color is, no joke, just about the exact same shade as my natural lips, perhaps a hair darker and more mauve. On the one hand, wearing it makes me feel a bit silly because there's so little impact, but on the other hand, it's easy to apply without a mirror and it makes me feel put together. This is my second and likely last tube of Like, just because I prefer other shades that actually change the color of my lips.
The quality of that second picture is far below my usual standard, I know, but I won't be retaking it because I've decided to purge Fenty Freckle Fiesta. As beautiful as the color is, it just doesn't flatter me much, and I never reach for it of my own volition. It doesn't help that the round bullets are not my favorite; I'm sloppy and find it difficult to get a smooth, straight lipline with them. At the end of the day, if I can't see myself eventually finishing a tube of lipstick, I shouldn't keep that tube around, no matter how pretty the color is.
Personally I found the Fenty formula (holy alliteration Batman!) to be both drying and with an annoying tendency to bleed outside my lip line. And it moved around on my lips, leaving my lips unevenly coated with the product. It's frustrating as I really like the colour I have (Ya Dig?!) and the packaging is cool.
ReplyDeleteI don't have too much trouble with it moving around or bleeding, but I've heard the more "unusual" colors have a less stellar formula.
DeleteI love the color of Freckle Fiesta but it accentuates every line on my lips. Going to give it one more try with Mac Prep and Prime, and if that doesn't help, I'll have to (super sadly) destash.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a shame! Maybe a less silicone-y formula would work better?
