Review: Coloured Raine 24seven and Mars with Swatches

Hellooooo

I just received my Coloured Raine order and this is the 7th liquid lipstick brand I have tried and I can definitely say it's in my top 5.  On a side note I just placed an order on Makeup Monsters that I'm pretty excited for.

Back to the reason I'm writing this:  My Colored Raine purchase!!!

I picked up 24seven and Mars.  I am also no good at describing shades so I'm not even going to try. The website describes 24seven as "strawberry toned" and Mars as a "dusty rose".

I would say that those descriptions are pretty spot on.  Mars is a tad on the "greige" side, but not anything overwhelming.

Both of these pictures were taken outside, but just at different times and (obviously) in different lighting.

Here's a picture of the applicator, because I know some people like seeing this.

&& here are a couple lip swatches.  

(Yes, I have really oily skin.  This was after work and I was too excited to realize that I should have did a touch up.  And yes, I do have acne.  And YES! I was so excited to swatch them and test out the formula, that I didn't apply it all that great.)

I have very pigmented lips so it will look different on everyone.

Both shades are very opaque and I drank some water, ate tomato on toast and then took this picture.

I tried to remove them both with regular soap, but with most good liquid lipsticks we all know that won't happen; and it didn't with these.  I had to grab my coconut oil.

I can see both of these shades being long time favorites not only because of the colors, but also for the formula.

They dry fast and stay put.  I did notice that it had a "numbing" or "plumping" kind of feeling without actually doing either of those.  I didn't notice any smell from the tube, on the applicator, on the swatches or on my lips.

Overall I give these two shades 5/5.

I'm very excited for the new shades they'll be releasing; specifically Sorbet, Bachelorette and Roulette.

I'll be working on my Ofra swatches and review next.
