So last week, I got in a state of panic because I accidentally took down le blog. I attempted to set up a new domain and a new address, but after a few tweaks, I could not access the site anymore. I hopelessly tried to revert the changes and even moved all of my contents to Wordpress as a backup plan, but it didn't work out fine. Luckily, I remembered adding a script in the code and after removing that, le blog resurrected. Haha! 😅
So lesson learned - plan out everything first. I thought it would be an easy task. I was wrong.
Setting up ichipestano.com is still in my to-do list though. I just need to do more research. Anyone here who has an idea on how to do that?
Anyhoo, it's time for another liquid lipstick review and guess what - these are from another homegrown brand. #lovelocal
I got two shades - a bright color and a nude. Each is sold at 599 php but I only paid 399 php during a promotion.
They actually released a new matte formula recently and new colors as well.
Packaging is simple yet still nice. Even the doe-foot applicator doesn't look and feel cheap.

Color
LORA is a pretty coral red. I don't usually gravitate towards bright shades but I thought I could use a pop of color from time to time. It has blue undertones so it makes the teeth appear whiter.
MONO is a mute nude beige with a hint of peach. I thought it would make me look washed out at first because it's pale. I just love how it creates a fuller-looking lips.
Both shades stay the same even when dried. The pigmentation is also okay but if I want to get the full color, I need to dip in few more times.
Finish and Formula
They do dry down but the finish is not 100% matte. Well, Mono appears more matte than Lora. The latter is more on the satin side actually, so it doesn't make the lips look wrinkly. 😊
There's shea butter, argan oil, mango butter and Vitamin E in the formula that hydrate the lips. They also don't feel heavy on lips.
There's a faint sweet scent and a waxy taste as well.
Application
They are streaky so doing another layer is a must to even out the color. What's good though about Lora is that, even if it's a bright color, it's not messy to apply.
I also notice a greasy feeling during application and maybe it's because of the oils in the formula. Not a biggie though.
One watch-out about Mono is how it tends to look crusty especially on the inner part.
Lasting Power
It's amazing how they created a formula that is not totally matte and dry-looking yet there's still no color transfer.
Color fades after a meal but it can survive drinking at least. Haha. 😁
I do recommend these! Formula-wise, they're great. A bit expensive though compared to other local liquid lippies but they're bigger, so I guess that fine. (8.6 g).
I would love to try their new shades. Any suggestion which one? They also released a lip and cheek tint in pretty colors and I might score one soon. 😙
