Beauty Bakerie Swatches & Reviews

Beauty Bakerie Swatches & Reviews

by imeltformakeup ♥ 1 Comment


So many brands to try and so little money… I purchased these beauty bakerie lip whips which are their liquid lipsticks, a while ago and as you know I always hear of new liquid lipstick brands from the evil money eater “Instagram”. Their cute brand revolving around a bakery appealed to me. I am a bit of a snob when it comes to branding, logos, and packaging (graphic design major here & current makeup artist) because I feel if they did not spend enough time and money on their branding then would they use quality ingredients in their products. Before deciding to drop the dough ($20 a tube), I did my swatch research on instagram and watched reviews on youtube. Many youtubers, rub their fingers on their lips and nothing comes off. On instagram they have video of running the lip whips under water and rubbing it again. The staying power looked crazy, and I wanted to try.

Beauty Bakerie Fortune Cookie: I love this beige nude color, I’ve gotten 1 compliment for this color. Easy to apply with 1 application

Beauty Bakerie Cranberry Stiletto: Wore this out at night, had drinks and food and stayed put. A nice deep red needs work to apply evenly about 2 coats.

Beauty Bakerie Raspberry Tiramisu: Deep berry wine color, need to apply 2-3 coats to get it even with no streaks. The thicker the more heavy feeling, and lips crinkle after eating and talking.

Beauty Bakerie Versailles: Mauve Pink nude color. Applies evenly with 1 application.

  • Price: $20 usd
  • Made in USA – Cruelty Free
  • Size: 12m
  • Long Lasting: Super long lasting, as it feels like nail polish for the lips
  • Non-Drying: Feels like I have something on my lips
  • Non-Peeling: No peeling except for Raspberry Tiramisu lipwhip: After eating and talking you smile it can separate a little between the lines for the darker colors and peel in the inner parts of the mouth.
  • Color Choices: They have some fun colors and nice nudes
  • Non-Staining: Doesn’t stain, takes some time to remove. Only raspberry tiramisu stains a little.
  • Scent: There is no scent
  • Applicator:  Regular doe-foot
  • Consistency: Liquidy kinda like milk
  • Website: www.beautybakerie.com
  • Physical Store: They have locations on their website but not in the USA
  • Ships From: San Diego, CA USA
  • Packaging: Cute packaging love the design. The lip whips came in a nice cardboard box with their branding (I use the box to put liquid lipsticks in) and a cute little popsicle card.
  • Notes:  It’s probably the most uncomfortable liquid lipstick from my collection, especially with the darker colors. Applying a lipbalm, primer, and liner all over the lip before helps. It dries completely but when you put your lips together it has a slight tackiness. As you can see in the swatch pictures it also has as slight sheen. My favorite colors are Fortune Cookie and Raspberry Tiramisu. There is nothing like this formula that I own. (list of liquid lipsticks coming soon)

Colourpop launches today their metallic liquid lipsticks that are great dupes for Kylies metal matte liquid lipsticks. Limited quantity colourpop.com (snapchat colourpopco, instagram colourpop)


Makeup Geek Cosmetics Marlena plans to launch her “lip stains” in November. It looks like liquid lipsticks in her snap, and has shown 2 colors she has been constantly wearing on her lips. It took her 2years to develop them. 

I can’t wait to get my hands and lips on them. Her eye shadows are one of the most unique color choices and great pigmentation so I’d expect her liquid lipsticks to be stellar. (per Marlena’s snapchat 👻 makeupgeektv)

Lipland Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick Review & Swatches

Lipland Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick Review & Swatches

by imeltformakeup ♥ 2 Comments

The very first time I heard of Lipland liquid lipsticks was on Instagram. Amrezy did a collaboration and launched 3 colors with them; Rezy, Montenegro, and Brooklyn (bright coral) late last year. It was the early start of my obsession with liquid lipsticks, and so I ordered Rezy and Montenegro in the search for the perfect long-wear, non-drying, liquid lipstick. Then just few months ago Lipland launched more liquid lipsticks in their permanent line of colors, and then I ordered Aventus and Fifty-Fifty in their 2nd restock. All the new colors were so pretty I wanted them all but took some self-control.  I then was able to attend PhameXpo and got Empire and Temple for only $10! I’ll always jump on a good dealio.

Here are the reviews of of each liquid lipstick with the swatch picture below it.

Lipland Liquid Lipstick Review

  • Reg Price: $18.99 (25% off promo code: Lip25)
  • Made in USA – Gluten Free – Paraben Free- Cruelty Free – SLS & BPA Free – Anti-oxidants Vitamin A, C, and E.
  • Size: 2.5 g/0.1 oz
  • Long Lasting: Semi Long Lasting as it’s not completely transproof. If you own ABH & Ofra it’s like a mix of those two, finish and formula.
  • Non-Drying: Yes
  • Non-Peeling: Yes
  • Color Choices: Couple nice nudie, mauve, and brown shades
  • Non-Staining: Only Montenegro does a bit
  • Scent: No Scent (only Fifty-Fifty has a faint sweet smell like Kylie, but not as potent)
  • Packaging: is almost as long as Kat Von D’s liquid lipstick
  • Applicator: Stiff Doe Foot, they all apply evenly. Just darker shades need a lil more work but not much.
  • Consistency: Mousey Cream
  • Website: www.liplandcosmetics.com Free Shipping over $50
  • Physical Store: none
  • Ships From: Los Angeles (they have their own Labs)
  • Notes: Colors do not get darker, comfortable wear across all the colors I have. All colors have the same wear and are consistent through out.

Lipland Aventus Review: is a nice shade of brown just slightly darker than Empire.

Lipland Empire Review: is darker shade of brown, than Aventus. I think both Aventus and Empire can be in the Kylie’s Dolce K brown family.

Lipland Rezy Review: is a pretty pinky peachy nude.

Lipland Fifty-Fifty Review: a pinkish mauve nude.

Lipland Montenegro Review: need a few layers to get the deepness of the color to pop. It is more bolder in person, and I do get compliments and people asking where I got it. I think a really good close dupe is Stila Chianti and maybe Colourpop Rooch.

Lipland Temple Review: is similar to Fifty-Fifty but 2 1/2 times darker.

If you want to try lipland they are currently offering 25% off off their perm. line of liquid lipsticks with coupon: LIP25

Refreshing Watermelon Swatch for those Hot Summer Days. Colourpop & Jeffree Star Liquid Lipsticks

Refreshing Watermelon Swatch for those Hot Summer Days. Colourpop & Jeffree Star Liquid Lipsticks

by imeltformakeup ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

It’s been hot these past few days in Southern California, with high temperatures surpassing 100f . Made me think of how I enjoy eating watermelons during summer months it’s so refreshing and sweet! So I decided to swatch up some liquid lipsticks in a watermelon painting.

The liquid lipsticks to create the watermelon swatch were from Colourpop Cosmetics and Jeffree Star Cosmetics. Colourpop Creeper is such a pretty vibrant matte red, mixed with a little Colourpop Vice liquid lipstick to get the pink edges. Colourpop’s Dr. M is the only green but made a nice contrast against the red. Jeffree’s Star Weirdo in black is such the perfect bold black, I loved how the seeds turned out. It was my favorite part plus the bite marks.

Keep Cool this Summer 🙂

First order of Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks

First order of Jeffree Star Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks

by imeltformakeup ♥ 1 Comment

I finally ordered Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks because of the recent color they launched in Mannequin. I was always hesitant to buy them before because testing them at the Morphe store in Burbank, CA they seemed to not be completely transfer-proof. Also I was not a fan of the packaging, just reminded me of a kid’s toy. Well finally I ordered a couple colors in Mannequin (nude) and Weirdo (black) from beautylish.com Instead of buying from Jeffree’s site  because weirdo was still out of stock and shipping is $6. Beautylish offers free express shipping for spending $35, so I ordered it through there. It was my first order and they shipped super fast! I got my package within 3 days (including the weekend) The packaging was nicely wrapped with tattoo pattern tissue paper, then wrapped in brown paper with a string bow, and included a thank you card.

It was a great experience with Beautylish because this month 2 1/2 online orders I made with either colourpop or ipsy all had issues with shipping the wrong item or completely different order. Beautylish was on top of their game!.

On to the reviews of Jeffree Stars Velour Liquid Lipsticks.

New @makeupgeekcosmetics eye shadows I got at @phame_xpo and met Marlena!

This was my second time to PhameXpo and I saw so many Youtubers and IGers. I was starstruck seeing these amazing talented artists in the flesh. The meet & greets were always packed full of people so I never try, but seeing them from afar was a enough for me to gaze at them in “awe”. The next best things were the discounted prices on makeup and accesories. Unfortunately there were also lines just to pay. This year was much more crowded compared to last year. Arriving at 12pm on Saturday we had to line up outside just to check in and get our badges. If you never been they have classes, indie brands, new accessories, and many meet and greets etc. I think it’s a fun, inspiring, and will make you go bankrupted😆. I def will go next year as well.  Follow me on instagram for more swatches of makeup 👻meltformakeup
