Menow Long Lasting Waterproof Lipgloss

To be honest I think the name is kinda deceiving as this product is a far cry from being a lipgloss, it is not a shiny moisturizing glossy product. In fact it's the cream to matte product that's all the rave now.

I picked up 5 shades and here's my swatches for them (boy was it hard to get a nice pic!)

#18 is a pinky nude brown shade.

#22 is a berry plum shade. 

#30 is a grey beige shade.

#33 is a deep brick red shade.

#26 is a peachy brown shade.

I applied them all without a base and without lip liners. They were kinda hell to remove as they truly are smudge proof.


PROS:
- The colours are all very pigmented and bright.
- They are all super long lasting and will not budge unless wiped with an oil based remover.
- easy doe foot application wand.
- decent packaging considering the cheap price.
- bloody cheap price.
- wife range of colours to choose from.

CONS:
- you have to wait for a few seconds with open lips to let it dry otherwise if you pucker immediately after application it will be sticky.
- there are some uneven formulas. Some shades are patchy and stickier than the others.
- it can be very drying after awhile almost highlighting all the cracks on your lips.
- reapplying another layer on top causes flakiness, best thing is to remove all at once and apply a new layer.

VERDICT: ☆☆☆/5

While it might be drying and has application techniques problem, at the price of $3-$4 here in Singapore, it's very much a steal compared to nyx smlc at $12.
