Haul, Swatches & Mini Review: Me Now Generation II Long Lasting Lip Gloss

Evening girls! 

I'm so excited to share this post with you.. Let me introduce to you Me Now Generation II Long Lasting Lip Glosses.
3 words.. I'm in LOVE! 

Ayesha originally saw these gems watching the lovely Chinutay's Youtube video (she's one of our favourite youtubers btw)  you can watch her video review here. She got a lot more colours than we did but I'm sure you can all agree with me when I say, it's never a good idea to get a lot of something especially if you haven't tried them before so that's the reason we only got 5.
Ayesha would review these herself but she's swamped with exam revision at the moment (best of luck Aysh) so I thought I would review them instead!

From top to bottom:

30 - Light Brown

26 - Coral

18 - Lilacy Nude

33 - Deep Red

13 - Neon Pink

(these are the numbers, not the actual names, I've just described the colours)

They have a wand applicator which I like.

Swatches on my arm - From left to right

26, 30, 18, 33, 13

Swatches on my lips - For number 30, I used a Kiko Automatic Precision lipliner in '504' and for number 18, I used a L.A Girl Endless lipliner in 'Natural'. I didn't swatch number 13 on my lips as I didn't really like the colour when it arrived (a little too neon for me!)

These lip glosses have both plus and minus points. I say 'lip glosses' but they aren't actually glossy, they go on as a liquid and dry matte, so they should be called liquid lipsticks but hey ho. 

The major plus is that they only cost £1 each.. Yeah £1 (talk about cheap and cheerful!) The colour selection is massive, they range from peaches to pinks to reds and all shades in between. The tubing type of bottle is adorable too. Another major plus is that they actually do last all day! I was amazed as I didn't really have high expectations considering how much they cost but believe me, the colour stay is better than some I've paid a lot more for. I'd definitely put them up there with Kat Von D's everlasting lipsticks and Limecrime's Velvetines. To see our Limecrime haul, click here.) 

Now to the minuses.. First and foremost the formula is really sticky. When I first apply it, it's fine, the texture is as a normal liquid lipstick but when it dries, it becomes super sticky on my lips, so much so that when I put my lips together, it literally feels like I'm having a lip peel Saying that I'm sure the stickiness will reduce if you apply some translucent powder over the top with your finger. Another minus is the consistency when it's been on my lips all day. It's almost like chewing gum and after having it on for hours it still takes a bit of rubbing to get it off but hey that just means that it's not moved all day which can't really be a minus can it? Last minus is the time it takes to get to your front door.. Can take weeks, maybe months so you have to patient which is sometimes easier said than done!

   Overall I absolutely love these! I think I should buy some in more daring colours.. What do you think?

We ordered ours from eBay, the sellers name is AlexWangStore, you can buy them here.

Until our next post,
