I was trying to wait until I had tried everything from my massive Bravon haul, but yesterday, my step-mom told me that I should just do reviews on the items as I go, because I need to get the word out there about this awesome brand and the amazing products offered. Can you tell she likes everything so far? Lol!
When I did the haul, I mentioned that I received a thank you gift pack for being patient while they were doing inventory and updating their website. This Motto Matte Moisturizing Lipstick in Always Positive Pink was in that pack. While it was gifted to me, it was not for promotional purposes. This and my future Bravon reviews aren't sponsored and, while he is a very nice man, he has no idea that I'm a beauty blogger or that I'm reviewing his products this way.
I've worn this several times and it amazes me. I will honestly tell you that I would never have bought this lipstick before trying it. Why? I can't stand matte lipsticks. They are super drying and make my lips hurt. The color usually wears off too soon to deal with the painful experience. I've been testing it out and have fallen in love with the formula and wear time. On Saturday, I put it on at 10:30 AM and then spent the day with my parents and Gram. We ate, drank and had a normal day. I was there until about 5 or 6 PM. When I was leaving, my step-mom looked at my lipstick and asked if I had reapplied during the day. I told her no and explained that I was testing the wear time and performance for my blog. She was really impressed and so was I. As it wears, the moisturizing does fade away. It stains the lips true to the lipstick color, with the pigment fading evenly. It was so impressive that I took over another color sample to my step-mom today when I went over for lunch. She loves it so much that she had me place an order for her! I also ordered another color, Rise Above Rose, while I ordered her Conquer and Magenta (which isn't as scary and bright as it sounds, I promise). I'm waiting for Courageous Rose Pink to come back into stock and looking at the other shades, plotting what I'm going to order next.
The other lip product that I've tried and am totally loving is the HD Vinyl Liquid Lipstick. I chose the color Grenache Rose in my sample pack. It is so moisturizing and pretty! It was a shorter wear time than the matte lipstick, but that doesn't bother me. I wore it today and my step-mom and Gram both loved the color on me. It wore for about 4-5 hours, lasting through lunch. The shine wears off, but it does stain, just not as pigmented as the matte lipstick. The pigment also fades evenly for this lipstick. I have already ordered a full size of this lipstick and color, it is on the way to me as I type this, The next shade in this lipstick for me to try is Hot Buttered Rum.
The Motto Matte Moisturizing Lipstick sells for $17.00 and the HD Vinyl Liquid Lipstick retails for $16.00. You can find both on www.bravonbeauty,com and all of the other products he sells, I am, on a whole, extremely impressed with this brand. I can't wait to review more of these products for you and other brands.
I have some upcoming reviews in the works: Clarisonic Mia 2, Mary Kay skin care products, home made coconut oil and baking soda scrub, and many more. Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again on Thursday!
Awesome review my friend!! So I think it's great that the lipstick is not drying. That's one of the main reasons I have not jumped all over the liquid lipstick craze!! Anxious to hear the rest of the reviews. Have you got your second order in yet? Talk soon!!!
