SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING Be Organic Bath and Body's Matte but not Flat Liquid Lipsticks ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ Packaging : 5/5 Smell : 4.5/5 Application : 5/5 Comfort : 5/5 Texture : 5/5 Longevity : 3.5/5 /VERDICT/ This is actually one of a kind! I can't believe that there's a matte liquid lipstick as gentle and comfortable as these! I initially got 3 shades which are Dusty Rose (Nude Pink), True Red (Bloody Red) and Sangria (Deep Red) then they sent me another gift with 2 more shades which are Merlot (Red Brown) and Rosewood (Nude Brown) but they have a total of 14 shades to choose from and retails for P349 / $6.98 each. It may not be as pigmented and long-lasting like other matte liquid lipsticks but it really has a flat matte finish on the comfortable side! Very lightweight, non-drying (it's infused with Argan Oil and Aloe Vera) and doesn't feel tacky at all! And i personally would choose that over longevity! I...
