Ofra Liquid Lipsticks in Brooklyn
In the past months, I hoarded a handful of liquid lipsticks, but I think what I have shown you so far are my Colourpop ones. I've tried each tube and I promise, reviews will start pouring soon. For now, let me talk about my sole Ofra baby.
I got this back in December when I bought some during the Black Friday promo where everything was 50% off. As usual, I tried selling the lippies first and what remained was this shade called Brooklyn.
On the site, a tube costs 20 USD and here in PH, I think it's around 850 php. Mine is already in the newer packaging that comes with a black and green box and a metal-looking cap.
Color
Brooklyn is described as a chocolate brown shade and on some lighting, it looks like a blackened brown. It's definitely not an everyday lip color, but something like this is still nice to have.
Formula and Finish
It's also described as a matte liquid lipstick but it doesn't completely dry down compared to Colourpop Ultra Matte, which has no shine at all. Well, I can only speak for this shade in particular. I'm not sure about the others.
I like the formula though. It's creamy, smells like cupcakes, it glides on easily and it feels light on lips. I also noticed that it's more comfortable and non-drying than most of my liquid lippies.
Application
The color payoff is pretty good but Brooklyn gets streaky. I'd need to do two dips at least to get a 100% opaque color on my lips. It doesn't dry fast as well and I know it could either be good or bad thing.
Lasting Power
The disappointing part is how it transfers and wears off after a meal. Since this is a dark color, it doesn't look okay as it starts to feather.
I guess the more natural shades would be a better choice. Besides the messy part, I think it's still worth a try because of the formula.
To make this more wearable, I'm thinking of mixing it with my most nude liquid lipstick. I'll give it a try and I'll show it to you on my IG story soon.
