Fragrance:

Smells like cocoa.Very nice.I love it.It's very mild and goes away as the time passes.

Effective/Worth?:

Yes.

Totally,the lipsticks in the Weightless Matte Mousse lip & cheek colour collection are worth a try.Formula is to die for.

• Affordably priced
• Very comfortable on lips
• The lipstick makes the lips look full
• Very lightweight. Doesn't feel like we have a lipstick on the lips!
• Doesn't bleed
• Doesn't feather or flake.But,please exfoliate your lips before applying any lipstick
• After eating heavy meals ,we need to do a slight bit of touch-up.Reapplication of the product doesn't look gross at all
• Doesn't transfer much until we eat anything oily/greasy.Not completely transfer-proof
• Not smudge-proof
• Water-resistant
• Fades away evenly from the lips
• Dries- out the lips a tad bit only after 3-4hours from the time we wear the lipstick

Longevity:

Lasted on my lips for 4-4.5 hours(max) and survived light meals
Fades away from the centre of the mouth after a heavy meal.

Cons:

• In first application(single scoop),the lipstick went a little streaky.After applying for the second time the product looked even on the lips.
• Product is buildable though.But, product-pigmentation could have been better
• Accentuates fine-lip lines and dry patches a little.

Overall,I love the formula of Cocoa Soft lipstick because it's very comfortable to wear.I am surely going to try out other shades from this range.There are awesome shades ranging from pinks to reds.Affordable and good quality lipsticks.I highly recommend this shade if you like wearing deep browns and also do check out the entire collection.There are awesome shades available indeed.Best,part is that the lipsticks in the Weightless Matte Mousse lip colour collection can be used as a blush. Isn't that great!

Will I re-purchase?

Yes,definitely , but,some other shade from the collection.

Rating : 3.5/5

Note : Especially for people with dry-lips,do not forget to prep-up your lips before applying any lipstick!

My Experience:

Shade: The lipstick is in the shade Arabian Night.It's a deep purple-plum-colored shade.Love it.

Packaging:

• We can check out the shade of the lipstick easily and in case the product is getting over.We can get a new one on time!

• The applicator is very stiff and you need to be careful while using the applicator

Formula & texture:

• This liquid lipstick has a demi-matte finish or a 
• creamy-finish that dries a little as the time
  
  
  passes...95% dry...i.e not a complete-matte lipstick which I am ok with.

                                  

• The product has a moussy-texture and it goes opaque in one single swipe
• One single scoop is enough to cover the lips,highly pigmented

                                  In Pic :  Single scoope swatch of the liquid matte lips

                                                lipstick shade# 008,Arabian Nights

Effective/Worth?
Yes,surely.

• First and foremost,the lipsticks in this range are paraben-free...isn't that amazing...love this fact!(GOSH cosmetics is a vegan brand and all the products are paraben-free)
• The lipstick keeps the lips moisturized.No dryness unlike usual liquid lipstick formulas
• Lipstick stayed on the lips for 4 hours approx with light meals in between
• Lips do look plumped up(a little bit)
• The lipstick tends to fade away from the center of the lips because of heavy meals :(
• Layering-up or touching-up isn't an issue and product doesn't flake or look gross after re-application
• The lipstick doesn't feather at all
• The lipstick feels a tad bit sticky(which might bother some people)
• You need to use an oil-based makeup remover in order to remove the product off your lips
• Very good quality lipstick I must say!
• Price-wise this lipstick competes with the very famous SEPHORA Lip Stains

Cons:

• Be cautious the lipstick might bleed if no lip-liner has been used underneath
• Not smudge-proof

I highly recommend this to girls who are looking for a liquid matte lipstick with a demi-matte finish and that keeps lips hydrated unlike the complete-matte moisture-sucking liquid lipsticks!

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,may be some other shade from this collection.


Availability:
Available @bootsmiddleeast @lifestylegulf stores in UAE, and @superdrug.com online

Note: Due to the demi-matte finish of the lipstick,the product gets transferred everywhere easily be it cutlery or anything.

Packaging:

The lipsticks in this collection have been uniquely named.For e.g. Goa Magnolia,Paris Peony,Mauritius Dahilia and so on...interesting!👍

*The tube's colour matches the colour of the lipstick.

*All the details about the quantity,shade-name,number and shelf-life etc are mentioned on the lipstick-tube.
