Makeup Geek Lipstick - Lavish

Customer Reviews

• Great color but...

  Review by Mariana on April 4, 2013

  it's really drying on my lips. Can be used over a lip balm or under a gloss, but the staying power is not that good those ways.
  And it has a funny smell, almost like "old" lipstick. Maybe it's only my tube, but still.
  On the upside, it's a shade I've not found anywhere else, very pretty.
  This is a product that could use some review.
• Love this color, but

  Review by Jessica on December 19, 2012

  Like everyone else, I find it hard to apply because it is a bit dry. I wish it was a bit creamier for ease of application if nothing else. I can make it work and I wear it anyway, just wish it were I bit more creamy (like the other person said) like Revlon mattes.
• Great Color, too dry

  Review by Sarah on November 6, 2012

  I bought this because I really wanted to try a matte dark red lipstick. This one is amazingly pigmented and the perfect deep berry red. It is just way too dry. I wish they were more like the Revlon matte lipsticks, because they apply much smoother. However, I still love the color, so I just apply a super moisturizing balm beforehand and always always use a lip scrub. I also have the color adorable, which is much smoother and creamier!
• Beautiful color- but a small flaw

  Review by Elena on October 15, 2012

  I REALLY, REALLY want to love this lipstick. The color is my favorite out of the 5 pack. I have medium skin & it seems to compliment whatever eye shadow colors I happen to be wearing. Very universal. However.... (and this could be a fluke) this lipstick is so dang dry! I find myself having to constantly re-applying gloss or ChapStick which, for me, makes the color fade that much quicker.
  
  I'll still keep trying the other MUG lipsticks - but I just wish this one had a creamier texture & didn't dry my lips out.
• My favorite one ....

  I've always loved red lipsticks but i am a blond hair girl and i found difficult to assume them ... This one is the one i have always waiting for !!!!! The perfect shade for pale skin !!! And it stays for hours... I am just so happy :thank you MUG !!!!
• great staying power but drier formula

  Review by Nicole on September 18, 2012

  I love the color of this lipstick - it's a very wearable deep red. I'm disappointed with the dry texture. This lipstick drags on my lips. The only upside to the dryness is that it has the staying power of a lip stain. Despite the dryness, my lips don't feel dry or flakey. I am not sure why this shade has such a different texture than another matte lipstick (Charming). I've only tried these two shades and am interested in trying other colors, but I'll be checking the reviews first to find out about the texture before purchasing.
  All in all, Lavish is worth the price for the staying power.
• A Great Red for Pale Girls

  Review by Kimberly on August 12, 2012

  Lavish is such a beautiful color. It's hard to describe, and it will look different depending on your skin tone, but the shade is universally flattering. On medium skin tones it will be more of a berry color, but if you're a pale girl like me, it will be a warm crimson red that is very flattering. It's a great red if you're afraid of red lips, or don't feel like you can pull them off. It's super pigmented and long-lasting. Some people might find the formula a little drier, since it's a matte finish, but that doesn't bother me since I love matte lip products that last a long time. A little balm or gloss on top of it will fix that problem.
