These moisture Matte lipsticks are such an amazing quality, especially for drugstore. They are hands down some of the best matte lipsticks you will find. I love how they go on smooth, and dry without cracking or breaking apart.They will leave a stain to your lips if and when they ever fade off. I noticed the darker shades stayed longer,and stained the most (obviously because of pigmentation). They are beautiful, and these LE shades for Fall are a must have!
I can't pick a favorite shade, they are all perfection. However Matte Fearless is going to be my go to shade for the Fall. Notice the finish on these they are matte, but you can tell they aren't drying or cracking on my hand. Even with my dry lips, I didn't have to worry about these beauties.

These Amore matte lip cremes are all the craze right now. Every brand has something similar and they range from $4-$30 from high end and drugstore. My lips are dry right now, so I was sure to use my Bite Beauty lip scrub in advance of trying these products out.I didn't use lip balm before applying because I wanted to see how they did right out of the package.
I noticed after trying all three of these shades that a little bit of product goes a very long way. If you get too much on your lips it will work its way out of the lip line and it's a disaster. Secondly if you put on too much product it will never dry, or dry into a clump. That makes since with any product, but it really shows with these pigmented products. I do love that they don't dry immediately giving you time to work them onto the lip. You can also see that they are much darker in the container,and when applied than how they dry.
I wore 05 Embrace and I must say that I was impressed by the quality of these products. I had to make a duck face while it dried on my lips. I needed a little practice anyways I haven't posted any selfies in quite some time. I am more of a fan of the lighter shades on my lips, the darker really brought out my dry lips.It wasn't horrible but an up close inspection looked not so flattering.
They do dry completely matte, and they don't come off from basic wear. I did everything most people do in a normal day. I didn't go swimming or do any acrobatics with these on but it was long lasting and when it did fade almost 5 hours later my lips were completely stained. I also couldn't get the swatches off the back of my hand for 1 day after applying. The staying power of these are amazing and I am impressed. I will stick to the lighter shades with these because well my lips are almost always dry, and I have a prominent cupids bow that they want to work their way into.
Have you tried these? Have you tried them with lip balm? Any tips or tricks?
