Pretty Vulgar Baby Doll Against BS, Blood Flower, Darling Be Daring Bury Them with a Smile Matte Lipsticks

Baby Doll Against BS

Pretty Vulgar Baby Doll Against BS Bury Them with a Smile Matte Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good pigmentation–just shy of full coverage–that applied evenly across the lips and did not drag or tug. The consistency was smooth, thin but not clingy, and comfortable to wear for the four hours this shade lasted on me, though there was some color that had sunk into my lip lines (both initially as well as later on during wear). The formula felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.

It’s supposed to have “full coverage” with a hydrating, “long-lasting” formula and an “ultimate matte finish.” I only purchased three shades (there are eight) to try, but based on those three, the formula has a smooth, velvety consistency that is thinner but not clingy. There was enough slip that they did not tug when applied directly to the lips, but they did not slide around while worn. There was a tendency for color to settle into my lip lines a bit, which was more noticeable with the lightest shade I tried. They lasted between four to six and a half hours and were non-drying. I didn’t notice any scent or taste.

Blood Flower

Pretty Vulgar Blood Flower Bury Them with a Smile Matte Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bold, medium-dark red with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. The color payoff was mostly opaque, but my lip freckle peeked through slightly. The color applied evenly, which made it easy to wear on its own (sometimes, deeper shades can appear streaky when they are not full coverage). It had a thin, lightweight texture that was velvety in feel and did not drag on the lips. The color lasted well for over six and a half hours on me, while the formula was non-drying.
