Review: Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick

Hey all,




1. Brand: Hourglass

2. Name: Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick

3. Type: Lip Product

4. Packaging: Light and luxurious packaging. The packaging hardware is bronze and shiny. The front is transparent so you can actually see the true color of the lipstick. 

5. Colors: There are 9 different shades in the collection but the one I have is called Edition. Edition is a beautiful rosy pink color with slight gold shimmer in it but very difficult to detect when applied.

6. Pigmentation/Coverage: Very well pigmented, medium build-able coverage.

7. Texture: It is supposed to be silky smooth and velvety matte lipstick as well as being "anti" tackiness and dryness.

8. Function/Formula: As Net-a-Porter states: 'Uses skin-conditioning emollients, antioxidant fruit extracts, Cili Fruit and Goji Berry, and Vitamins A, C and E to help protect lips and free of parabens, phthalates and sulfates.

9. Longevity: It claims to have exceptional longevity but this is, in my opinion, not true.  

10. Price: In US - 28 Dollars. In Europe: 30 Euros

11. Look/Swatches:


 
12. Opinion: When I applied it on my lips, I found out that it's very sticky and tacky, showed my lip lines, flaked, and I felt uncomfortable. I know there was a hype going around about it on YouTube but I don't know what for?! I always try to dig into the product to find its real quality but this unfortunately happens to have flaws more than benefits. It dried my lips and I had to apply moisturizer before applying it and after I apply it. I had to apply lip gloss to avoid its stickiness. Moreover, it didn't last an hour on me. The color fades quickly and easily even with the contact of a cup of water. I was and still am very disappointed. It is a very expensive over priced product and I don't recommend it to anyone of you but if you have it and you love it then I am happy for you. 

13. Grade: 

- Packaging: 85 % - B
- Pigmentation: 75% - C
- Texture: 50% - F
- Longevity: 50% - F
- Price: 50% - F

Total = 62% - D

Share with me your thoughts!!

Love xoxo,
