As an avid lipstick lover I am constantly trying new lip products. Whenever I go into a makeup store it's what I tend to gravitate towards the most, and I probably have about 10 to 15 lippies hanging out in my purse right now. To be quite honest one might say I'm on the verge of being obsessed with them...but that's a different story for a different day.
I first heard about the brand REALHER via a beauty guru I follow on YouTube. The brand instantly captivated me with its sleek black and white lipstick tubes that are all labeled with different statements of empowerment. After a little more research about the company I also discovered that their products are not only cruelty free, but paraben free, sulfate free, and overall formulated with natural ingredients. They also donate 20% of all proceeds to charity!
The items that I chose to try out were their Ladylove Matte Liquid Lipstick in "I AM FEARLESS" (vibrant magenta pink shade), and the best matching Expert Advice Lip Liner in "I AM UNIQUE" (intense wine shade). The matte liquid lipstick comes housed in a smooth black/white tube with a standard doe foot applicator, and a clear bottom side so you can see the product color. You get 0.15 oz of product and they retail for 18.00 a piece. The lip liner is also in a smooth black/white pencil tube with the shade nicely displayed on the bottom portion. You get 0.04 ounce of liner and they retail for 12.50 a piece. Each one is formulated with lip happy ingredients like shea butter, jojoba seed oil and hyaluronic acid. The matte liquid lip offers 12 different shades from pale nude to vampy purple while the lip liner offers 6 that coincide.
When I initially applied the liner and lipstick they both glided on like a dream with minimal effort and intense pigment payoff. Although there was zero scent that I could detect in the lip liner, there was a light (almost floral) scent to the matte liquid lipstick. Nothing overbearing however, and once the lipstick dried down completely the fragrance disappeared. It only took about 30 seconds for the liquid lippie to set, and once it had done so not only was it perfectly matte, but perfectly transfer proof as well.
Overall, although the combination of the liner and liquid lipstick felt very lightweight, it was still pretty dry feeling. Then again I tend to prefer a moisturizing lipstick over a matte one. I was impressed at the wear time however. For me it was so good that I had to apply some facial oil to my lips before I was able to remove it! It would definitely be my top pick if I needed a lip combo for a busy day or an event where I didn't want to worry about my lipstick fading off.
Next on my wish list is DEFINITELY their moisturizing lipsticks though!
