PRODUCT REVIEW: Makeup Academy Velvet Luxe Lip Lacquers



Afternoon beauties!! 

I had these MUA Velvet Luxe Lip Lacquers few months back and finally I have decided to makea review about them. I am pretty much sure there is a ton of reviews about these MUA lip lacquers. So to top it all off, the review about this product is from my very own experience and my own honest opinion.








I have been eyeing this product ever since and a lot of people have been raving about them that it is supposed to be like Lime Crime Velvetines. So I finally caved in and gave them a try. I got my MUA lip lacquers from Sundance Bazaar from the booth of Props and Tools Cosmetics but the products are from The Makeup Hub. This cost Php 380.00 each. YES! 380.00 pesos only! The Velvetines from lime crime cost Php 950.00 each I guess. Definitely MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers are more affordable than the Lime Crime.



The packaging is so cute and very elegant looking. It has a frosted tube packaging with a doe foot applicator. The doe footed applicator is easy to use with this kind of liquid lipstick although it's hard to control sometimes. If you want a precise and neat application you may want to try to use a fine lipstick brush instead.

Let me show you some swatches.

GLOSSY WHEN APPLIED FIRST
I've fallen head over heels in these velvet lip lacquers! As you can see they're very pigmented which I appreciate at most times in a lip product. It starts off wet looking or glossy once you apply it and dries into a matte velvety finish, just give them a minute to dry out and do not try to smack your lips or they will end up patchy.

DRIES INTO A MATTE VELVETY FINISH

The color pay off is remarkably amazing but the long lasting claim is not. I am enjoying these two and I actually regret not getting the other colors. For the price it's already a steal. You'd get a very good amount of product in a tube but It wouldn't last long for me because I keep on retouching as the product fades quite often.


Will I recommend it? Definitely YES. It is worth trying for its price.

I hope you enjoyed reading and find this review helpful. Have you tried any lip lacquers?
