Last week, March 7, was my 21st birthday. So when a birthday comes there are usually gifts, I’ll be doing a what I got on my birthday post when my pre-ordered products have come. But first I’ll review these babies, which I have had on my wishlist since they first came out! But after much coaxing of friends and family I finally got both as gifts. I’m not very into shocking colors like red since I find they make my lips look small. So I didn't buy the third shade, a rich ruby red.

Description:
I imagined that these were a more luxurious take on the NYX matte lip creams, which is right, From the applicators alone, they give a much more expensive feel. The applicators come in a fluffy doe foot the type that you'd see on fancy lip products, like YSL kiss et blush.
The packaging is so fun as well! Definitely a pop out in your kikay kit. But their not all for the looks, the product is very good. Just like the normal lipsticks, they are opaque and creamy. But think of this as the liquid form of the lipstick, but they last much longer due to the matte-ness. But not a dry matte, more like a moisturizing matte. Even if I had some dryness and flaking on my lips (Eww.) it did not emphasize such things. It just glides on like a dream on lips. And you can do well without any lipbalm.

I immediately gravitated towards Swept Off My Feet. Didn't take to the reddish one for the same reason that you didn't. It looked intimidating!

I'm glad to know that it wasn't only me who felt that way! I've never been very adventurous in the lippie scene hahaha.
