Wouldn’t recommend

I tried shade 220 ribbons. I applied this duo lipstick and gloss as outlined- applying first the lipstick, waiting until fully dry, pressing lips together to activate sparkle, and then applying gloss. I used it several times over several days. Here’s my review: Pros: - I love the applicator- it holds so much product and the pointed teardrop shape gives a lot of precision. When applying a liquid lipstick, it’s almost like painting and having the right applicator is clutch. -the gloss is thick but not sticky -it’s super satisfying to see the sparkles suddenly appear when you press your lips together. In that moment they’re really sparkly and pretty -photographs well imo Cons: -regardless of how long I waited (1 min, 2 min, longer) I couldnt get this lipstick to dry without looking streaky and dry. My lips are fairly well moisturized, but this settled into every line and contour. May work well in super smooth lips, but not great for me. -can’t wear alone- I thought this would be a true two-in-one where you could wear just the lipstick, just gloss, or both. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the lipstick to look good without the gloss. The gloss does help the lipstick settle in. -once gloss is applied, the sparkle of the glitter is way more muted. Not a dealbreaker for me, but something to keep in mind if you purchase this for the sparkle. -the lipstick got on my teeth and some glitter fell off my lips onto surrounding skin. This is a product you need to be careful with imo. Neutral: -220 ribbons shade was a very cool, light pink and I felt it looked cooler and lighter once applied than in tube or product pics Overall I don’t think the quality reflects the price point. Ultimately I wouldn’t recommend.
