Sugarpill Cosmetics Liquid Lip Colour (Heartstrings)

This is the first lipstick I bought from this American brand and, although very expensive for a lip gloss, it was totally worth it.
 
This must be one of my favourite pink colour lip gloss ever. It has the texture of a lip gloss but it's richly pigmented in a very bright flattering metallic pink; yet, it feels and looks matte. It smells very nice, too. This is a 100% vegan & cruelty-free product, something really important to me. Packaging is a killer, as well. 

It's out of stock almost everywhere I look for, so I regret not having bought a replacement before this was gone. I have another colour from the same range, but it's not as flattering as this one.

Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick (Genie Metallic)

This is the second tube of metallic velvety liquid lipstick that I buy from Black Moon Cosmetics. The colour is a beautiful iridescent magenta, that turns into a velvety coat once it dries off. The lipstick smells divine as well and it really suits me. Not as flattering as the Devil metallic shade, but gorgeous the same.
 
This is not a permanent or semi-permanent lippy and will disappear as soon as you have a coffee or eat anything, which is a big letdown for such an expensive product. However, the lipstick is advertised as kiss-proof and "it won't budge for hours"; that is not true for me. 
 
Vegan and cruelty-free always does it for me.

Black Moon Cosmetics Liquid Lipstic (Deville Metallic)

This is the first lipstick I buy from this brand, and I'm a devotee already. The colour is just amazing, a semi-metallic red, but a shade of red that is not your usual red, so it's an unique shade. It ' a liquid creamy lipstick that needs just a bit to spread evenly. It becomes matte once it dries off, and it feels like velvet on my lips. It looks fab on me. The packaging is delightful, too. 
 
On the flip side, this is not a permanent or semi-permanent lippy and will disappear as soon as you have a coffee or eat anything, which is a big letdown for such a pricey product. However, the lipstick is advertised as kiss-proof and "it won't budge for hours"; that is not true for me. 

Vegan and cruelty-free.

Stargazer Black Lipstick

This is a great affordable lipstick for Halloween or any disguise occasion.  Quality is decent for the price. The product feels balmy  and when I checked the list of ingredients on the label, it has aloe vera, wax and several other oils as part of the ingredients. The lippy covers my lips well. This is a matte lippy, so you'd need to apply lip gloss on top to get something like in the photos. It has some sort of blueish undertone at least on my lips, but it looks a very dark brown under artificial light. This is my first  black lipstick ever and I think it's quite cool.
