 Born Pretty Store Review

BONNIE CHOICE

About the brand: 

A quick google search will reveal that this brand is only readily available on Born pretty store or on Aliexpress. So there really isn’t much info that you can get about the company and brand. And there is no direct website with Bonnie choice brand. 

Packaging: 

The liquid lipstick comes in a sleek black unicarton with the logo and some glossy lines against the matte box. However, It is quite clear that the origin is from China as written on the product’s packaging. The tube itself is clear so you can easily see the shades inside, with glossy black cap and gold tube mouth. The shade name is not written underneath the tube, only the shade number is shown. They also have a standard doe foot applicator shape. Overall, the packaging looks professional and not at all cheap. 

Ingredient list (liquid lipstick):

Silica dimethyl silylate, butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer, hydrogenated castor oil, disteardimonium hectorite, butyrospermum parkii(shea butter), propylparaben (<=0.1), phenyl propyltrimethicone, isohexadecane, polymethyl methacrylate, tocopherol, simmondsia chinensis(jojoba)seed oil, hydrogenated coconut coil, squalane, bht  (<=0.1), isododecane (CI 77891/CI 77491/CI 77492/CI 77499/AKA201/AKA104(1)/A01)

They are the same across all the 3 shades that i have.

Batch/expiry dates:

I also noticed that at the back of the box there is a printed batch number and expiry date. Now, it is common for most lipsticks to have the batch number and the period-after-opening guide(24months after opened), but its pretty rare that i see an expiry date printed too.

-Shade #1(best actress) batch is 180329, expiry is 28/03/2021.

-Shade #8(vampire blood) batch is 180515, expiry is 14/05/2021.

-Shade #7(screen siren) batch is 180329, expiry is 28/03/2021.

Its great that it has the expiry date so in the case that you forgot how long you already had those lipsticks, you’ll know by when you have to throw it out.

Now that all the boring part is over, lets get to the swatching part and how the lipsticks performs for myself! (*Disclaimer:I am not paid to do this review, products were sent to me for my honest opinion.) 

>I was sent 3 shades of the Bonnie choice matte liquid lipstick (Bonnie choice Matte liquid lipstick) to review. 

>And also the Bonnie choice double ended eyebrow brush (Bonnie Choice double ended eyebrow brush ).

Shade #1 Best Actress

(ID code#42604-1)

Best actress is a nude beige lip colour with a pink base. I find that this type of pinky beige lips looks good on very light fair skintone, but not as much on olive or tan skintone. I am asian with light olive skin so i prefer my nudes to have a warmer undertone instead. 

Shade #7 Screen Siren

(ID code#42604-7)

A cool toned smoky red shade to raise the alarm. This shade was the smoothest to apply as compared to the other two shades. Product applies evenly without patchiness and also set dry quite quickly. 

Shade #8 Vampire Blood 

(ID code#42604-8.)

This Deep burgundy red is such a beautiful shade and very fitting with the Vampiric name. However, this was the most patchy when lip swatched, as you can see there are some areas where its darker than the other areas. But this is quite common for deep and darker shades, i have faced this issue even with brands like Tarte. 

As for the feel, these liquid lipsticks reminds me of the menow lipsticks which was super cheap and popular a few years back. Due to the formula, you cannot smack your lips together directly after applying the lippies as they will stick to each other and tend to pull the lipstick off of both lips. So its safe to leave them unsmacked for about a minute till it fully dries. 

While the lipsticks are not draggy on application, it is a bit on the sticky side. Eventhough i left my mouth opened to keep them dry, there was still a sticky residue that i could feel clearly on my lips. 

This lippies are also budgeproof once they have set on the lips, since they are waterproof, oil based removers does the job of removing them. Also if you have a greasy meal, the lipstick will fade off slightly. 

Bonnie choice double ended eyebrow brush: 

(ID code#42515)

The last item, the double ended eyebrow brush has a soft angled brush at one end to pick up wax or pomade products with and the other end has a spoolie to evenly disperse products for a much more natural look. This is definitely a useful tool to have, most eyebrow kits come with the teeny weeny angled brushes which are super hard to get a grip on, i love this version of the double ended eyebrow brush and spoolie duo.
