Ciaté London Liquid Velvet Lipstick - Various Shades

This is the best ever! Its glossy at the beginning but then it mattes down and it doesn’t dry your lips and it’s sooo pigmented. I’ve been using my Voodoo shade for nearly 3 years now its THE BEST!!

I bought the colour Diva, it’s lovely and pigmented and applies really well. However it does not stay on my lips very long; I wore this for a night out where I was eating then drinking and dancing. It ended up all over my face somehow because unlike the name implies, it is far from velvet! I was really disappointed because it looked like it would be much better. Perhaps the other colours may not be like this but the red certainly is. I’ve tried it twice now and it’s since been sat in the bottom of my lipstick drawer.

As far as liquid lips go this is a perfectly fine product but there are far better alternatives at the same price point or lower. I can't speak on behalf of others but for me as many pros as it may have the cons were enough to make me not want to use the product. The lipstick itself was very pigmented, applied with reasonable ease, and at first look was fine. It was slightly drying, which realistically is expected with liquid lips so that was fine, it didn't sink into the fine lines of my lips which was good and at first i thought this was actually a rather nice product but it doesn't last particularly well. It bleeds like no other, even a liner didn't fix the problem, merely minimising it slightly, and the second oil hits it or you eat anything, it doesn't just wear away but smudges all over your face. It also doesn't reapply well which would be okay (liquid lipsticks generally don't reapply well) but the fact that it wears off easily, is a pain to clean up and doesn't reapply means that using it is just more trouble than it's worth. It all depends on what you want for a lippie it may work for those who don't eat much throughout the day or just want to wear it for a short period of time, but for lazy grub loving people like me this may not be the best option.

I bought the colour 'Wonderland' which looks just right with browns, corals anf orange clothing. I like this shade as the colour is eye catching enough to show up on lips but is not too bright. It really has a velvety finish.

I bought three of these on the back of a YouTuber reviewing a selection of liquid lipsticks, otherwise I would have never heard of these! If you are looking for a matte liquid lip that dries down completely, hold you guns and keep reading, otherwise you might be disappointed. This does not DRY DOWN! What this does do, however, is deliver a knockout dose on non-streaky pigment, with a wand offering precise application, a matte finish without the dry feel. The colour lasts, and lasts, as well still feel good hours later as the moment you first applied. Envy, Chatterbox and Head Over Heels are my colours of choice!

Lipstick went smoothly on and lasted most of the day..... Loved the color

You have to be careful when applying, like with all liquid lipstick but its so hydrating and the colours are really pretty. No more importing from America and this brand is cruelty free unlike the other popular lipsticks on the market. WIN.

very long lasting color without making my lips feel dried - I love it!
