Imagic Matte Liquid Lipstick Review
Hi! :) It's been a while since I posted a beauty review here on my blog but that's okay because I have here a very interesting lip product to try :) Today, let me share to you my thoughts on this affordable Imagic Pro Beauty Lipgloss which actually performs as a MATTE liquid lipstick, no hint of shine nor gloss on your lips at all. Anyhow, let's see if this affordable baby is worth the buy :)
I first saw these Imagic "liquid lipsticks" from Isha (Purpleheiress), one of the well known Pinay beauty content creator on YouTube. Majority of her thoughts were positive so I was certain to get my hands on these lippies. As I searched on the web to know more about this promising product, I found out that Imagic lipstick is often referred to as eBay lipstick as this is primarily sold on eBay.
PRIZE, WHERE TO GET, AND PACKAGING I got mine on Shopee from Micah Sevilla, the same seller where Isha got hers. For Php 150, you'll get 8 ml of product, the same amount of product you'll get from one tube of Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream. As for the packaging, the product is contained in a lightweight plastic tube with a black matte twist cap. It also comes with a matte black box where you can check the ingredients and expiration.
Shade Nos. are indicated on the top part of the box and in the bottom part of the tube.
Let me just point out how I appreciate this liquid lipstick's applicator. It isn't the regular doe foot shaped applicator, it's just straight and it makes the lipstick application a lot easier since it can reach the corners of the lips and it can precisely shape the cupid's bow :)
Ingredients
CONSISTENCY AND SCENT
This Imagic liquid lipstick is not as creamy/thick compared to other matte liquid lipsticks. It also doesn't dry fast which I like since it gives me more time to blend the product in. One thing that I noticed though is that it feels a little heavy and drying on the lips so I suggest that you only apply ONE thin layer of product. Anyhow, color payoff of this Imagic liquid lipstick is good. You'll see what I mean in the swatches below :) As for the scent, it smells like the candies we had in 90's haha. I really can't find the right words to describe the scent but I can at least say that it doesn't smell bad and the scent doesn't stay long after application. SWATCHES
The shades I got from this matte liquid lipstick line are shades 03 and 04. Above image shows the not so dry swatches of the said shades.
This right here are fairly dry swatches.
Completely dry swatches :) You can now see how matte they are :)
Here's how they look like on my lips:
Imagic Liquid Lipstick in 03
This shade is an In Your Face Nude color. This may not look good to most Pinays like me because it really washes me out. I'm not sure though if I can pull this shade off if I have an eye makeup on :)
Imagic Liquid Lipstick in 04
On the other hand, shade 04 is a nude shade that I can wear on a daily because it has a brown orange undertone.
LONGEVITY
To test the longevity, I used shade 04 since this color suits me more :)
9:17 AM- Freshly applied and completely dried
12: 35 PM- I ate chicken curry for lunch and this is how my lips looked like. You can see that the color already faded on the inner mid part of my lips. The lipstick obviously cracked and curdled (namuo muo na). My lips no longer look pleasant but I opted not to re-touch since I was just at home, anyway.
4:02 PM- Almost 7 hrs. has passed after I first applied this Imagic liquid lipstick and this is how it looked like. I actually just ate loaf bread with Lady's Choice Ham Spread plus Coke before I took this photo :) haha ginugutom ko ba kayo? At this point, 90% of the liquid lipstick is already gone but it did leave a stain on my lips. I just had to remove those pamumuo and I believe my lips would look okay.
FINAL THOUGHTS
For a matte liquid lipstick lover like me, this Imagic matte liquid lipstick is worth the try. But before you decide whether you should get one or not, here are the PROS and CONS I have observed: PROS: 1. Affordable for a matte liquid lipstick 2. Color pay off is great 3. Wide color selection. They currently have 12 wearable shades :) 4. Smudge Proof 5. Kiss Proof 6. Water Proof 7. Long lasting (if your lips will not get in contact with oily food) CONS: 1. Only available online and I'm unsure if fake Imagic liquid lipstick exists 2. Makes MY lips dry and accentuates MY lip lines. Thus, it is best to prep your lips by exfoliating and applying lip balm before putting this liquid lipstick on. 3. Re-touching by layering another product is not advisable since it will just look awful. You have to totally remove the product first with a makeup remover or petroleum jelly and wipes before you can apply a fresh new layer :) Questions?
