First of all i want to say

Because we are all the same. We are all human. Love each other and the world will be a very peaceful place.

Okay now! 

So today, I'm gonna give you a review of this

L.A.Girls Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss in INSTINCT.

When L.A. Girls released this collection I'm literally going crazy because when it's L.A. Girls then it's about beauty in budget. This matte liquid lipstick retail only $5. And so many online shop in Indonesia sell it for around Rp. 75.000 - Rp. 85.000. I was preparing my budget to buy it.

 But then! When i was hanging out with my friends at Supermall Pakuwon Indah, i visited DIVA CRESENT store. And i saw this side by side with L.A. Girls Glazed Lip Paint. I'm asking the staff how much they cost. And their answer quite surprise me. It's only Rp. 55.000 fot this matte pigment gloss and for glazed lip paint it's only Rp. 50.000.

 No i'm not kidding. 

The price is really really close to the real price in $. I was thinking to buy it on not but i was in a bad mood so i decided to buy it to brighten my day. hahahahahhahahahahaha. Don't ever visit a makeup store when you're bad mood. Because you just gonna commit lot of sins. LOL. Anyway i haven't buy the Glazed Lip Paint because... well... I'll buy it later. I guess.

Okay sorry about the long talk. So, L.A.Girls Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss packaging is made from really thick clear plastic (i'm pretty sure it's not a glass material). You could see the color and i love clear packaging because really could see when it's run out. 

I really really love the applicator. It's better than Sleek Matte Me one because Sleek sponge aplicator was really long and it's make me kinda hard to apply. But maybe i'm just bad at it. This L.A.Girls Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss sponge applicator is flat and normal i guess. Just like any other gloss or tint applicator. I get used to this kind of applicator so i guess that's why i prefer this. And i don't know why, but this didn't create any mess in the wand. If you already read my Sleek Matte Me review, i've mention that i don't like it because it's kinda mess on the want, like you got all you product all over it. And the applicator of this Matte Pigment Gloss bring just perfect amount of the products. Unlike Sleek Matte Me applicator that bring too much product to apply on your lips. But maybe it's just me guys. 

When i saw the pic of this product on some online shop i really thought that the bottle gonna be kinda small. But it's not. It's the same size of Sleek Matte Me

Comparison with my hand (keep scrolling if you think this is unimportant. lol)

SWATCHES

Swatch on my hand

As you can see, INSTINCT is orange color. It's just straight orange. I was think that this is brick red or orange red when first i saw it on the packaging. But it turn out pure beautiful bright orange. Sure it has a little red to it. But it's orange, i've check it on wikipedia shades of orange. lol.

L.A.Girls Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss have a similar texture with Sleek, but it's more tacky. And it's dries a little longer and slower that Sleek. It's either bad or good because you could fix any mistakes before it dries out. And the best thing, you could create gradation lips look with this. 

What a little bother me is this product stay tacky all day. It's not completely dries like paper or like Sleek one. It's stay tacky and you could feel the tackiness when put your lips together. This product smell like paint. But, you're not gonna smell it when you apply it on your lips. You just gonna smell it when you sniff the wand. So, it doesn.'t bother me at all.

STAYING POWER

I'm kinda amazed by the staying power. This matte pigment gloss stay i a pretty long time. Rather than flaked, it's fade away in pretty way because it leave stain on my lips. It really do leave stain on your lips prettily. I ate pizza at lunch during this staying power test. So it was like messy messy here and there. But it's not flaked and show my real lips color. It's fade in pretty way. As you can see at 13:24 it looks flaked but to be honest you can't really tell it in real life. And as times goes by it fading in good way. I LOVE IT.

I didn't do any "lip balm underneath" because this product didn't dry out my lips. As i already said, it leave tacky feels and i guess it's come from moisture. 

You could compare this with mt Sleek Matte Me review here since i always mention it from the beginning because Sleek is the only matte liquid lipstick i own. hehehe.

oh, i almost forgot. You could order from DIVA CRESENT by visiting their website or Instagram. Or, just like me you could visit their store at Supermall Pakuwon Indah.
