Nelf USA Kiss Proof Professional Lip Color - 103 & 109 | Review & Swatches

Hi Guys,

Welcome back to the Glistening Lane ✨

Today I’ve decided to review two of the lipsticks that I have in my vanity from Nelf USA. I’m a legit #lipstickshoarder and any day you ask me for sharing a shopping haul, one lipstick has to be there! Brand has never been a restriction, for that matter I love my inexpensive dupes of a high-end brand. Some time back I was also on a hunt for Smashbox Cosmetics liquid lipstick shade “Chill Zone” and it happened to rest via a local cosmetics store. 😅😆 You can check out the shade I’m talking about HERE.

So, without further adieu, let’s begin with the review -

How to Apply:

Ingredients: Not mentioned over the product, packaging or the official website.

Price: INR 450 for 6 ml

Packaging:
The liquid lipstick comes in a cylindrical transparent packaging through which you can easily view the amount of content that’s left inside. The packaging is pretty much compact and travel friendly. 

My Experience:

Applicator: The applicator is somewhat straight and not dissected at an angle. Application with this applicator is quite convenient as such and there’s no complaints concerning it. The wand isn’t too stiff which makes it easier for outlining and filling in the colour. You might not even need a lip pencil until and unless you’re someone who goes into extreme details while doing the lips.

Opacity: The colour intensity is medium to high coverage. Even with a single layer, you get a nice coverage of the lipstick and in case you want to build up, you can surely go ahead and do that.

Formulation: The formulation of these lipsticks is quite smooth but the lipstick goes matte as soon as you apply it and this how usual liquid lipsticks work! Onto the lips, these feel quite lightweight and there’s no stretchy feel as such. But I happen to feel very slight uneasiness onto the corners of the lips. So make sure you hydrate your lips before applying this lipstick. 

Longevity: I wore these lipsticks to office in order to check their longevity. I applied these around 8:30 a.m. and these lasted me till 1:30 p.m. approximately. This means that they stay nearly 4-5 hours depending upon what you happen to eat or drink. Over water and coffee mugs, I noticed little transfer of the colour onto the mug/bottle. But while lunch, the lipstick literally vanished even though I had nothing too oily but stirred fried rice, that too with a spoon. Hardly any colour was left and it felt weird so I completely wiped it off after lunch hour. 

Swatches:

Rating: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

TGL Recommends:

The formula is great but I feel the longevity could have been better. Some of my other liquid lipsticks don’t vanish even after a snack (non-oily). If you like the price range and shades, then you can definitely go ahead and pick this one. I've heard their HD Professionals range is really good, just saying! 😊
