Aiptasia Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick

This is a fantastic product, both in it's performance and color. It dries down completely but it's not super drying and not flaky at all! I wore this for about ten hours without touching up and it was basically perfect at the end of the day. A bit of my inner lip showing, but nothing crazy. I would definitely purchase again.

I cannot say enough good things about this color. The formula is incredible!!! I put this on about 7am and it lasted until 10:30 pm! Thats like 15 hours of wear!!! It did fade a little on the inner lip line area during/after meals- but thats to be expected. It honestly held up super well and im beyond impressed. Such a gorgeous color too! Definitely on the “chocolate lavender” spectrum. I really like this color as its dark enough i still feel edgy but also nuetral enough to be worn in an office setting without trouble. I would absolutely buy again.

cannot wear this one often enough, the color is so pretty. the formula is just as comfortable as the other lipsticks I have from Menagerie

It’s an absolutely gorgeous color. I wore it to work and funnily enough one of the guys asked “you look goth”, haha. I love how nicely it stays on the lips. The formula is a little thick but I personally don’t mind. It doesn’t dry out your lips either!

This was my first liquid lip from Menagerie, and the formula is bomb. It takes a bit to set, which is great because I suck at making my lips look the same on both sides. Before the formula is dried down, I have time to wipe away mistakes without leaving an awful smear of color on my face or ruining my foundation around it. The wand is really stiff, which took a bit to get used to, but now I love it. It makes lining with the lipstick super easy. Once it sets, it's a lovely, even matte with a light-weight feel. It has the tiniest bit of transfer, but nothing messy. It only fades when I eat, and it's pretty even and still looks nice anyway. It is a little drying if I apply without lip balm, which I don't like to do anyway. Aiptasia is a lovely lilac-y chocolate. I'm pretty light-skinned, and this looked dramatically dark on me. I love it, but it's too dark for an every day look. It looks witchy and badass without being straight black. This color pushed me out of my comfort zone!
