Lip Monthly September 2019 Review
1 of 2
My package was a bit late, arriving at the beginning of October instead of during September, and it sounds like our bag is full of colors to help us with the summer to fall transition. Summer seemed to last a bit longer around here, so I think these will still apply! The theme is"Lips Don't Lie" and I love the cute card design!

Each month, Lip Monthly sends their products in a little soft fabric makeup bag which is just a bit bigger than an iPhone plus (although not quite big enough to fit one inside). This bag design is one of my favorites that they've sent. So bright and fun! I love the color and the adorable flower pattern.

ModelCo Lip Liner
This liner is a bit brown for me even though the tube looks like it should be pink. I couldn't find a color name listed anywhere on the packaging and I wasn't able to locate this one online so it's sort of a mystery liner! It does have a cool top that features a built-in sharpener which is very handy! It is a bit firmer, but still glides on fairly smoothly allowing me to line my lips with precision. It also did a nice job of containing the layer of lip gloss I applied over it.

Here I have it on over my entire lip and it looked a little better on than I anticipated since it almost matches my natural color.
Here it is with some clear gloss on top which is much better and actually makes the color look pretty natural on my lips.

Dirty Little Secret Lip Gloss in Rose Petal - Retail Value $14
The packaging for this brand is so cute! I love the polka dot tube and this color is very vibrant and fun! This gloss goes on smoothly and has a slightly sweet scent. It's a bit pink for me, but it's comfortable to wear and only slightly sticky. It doesn't last too long, but I don't usually expect glosses to have as much staying power as a lipstick anyway.

It's a pretty bright pink, but it isn't too much and I actually think I'd love this for a spring color.

Lip Monthly Liquid Lipstick in 03
This color is so wild! It's very much a neon pink and ridiculously bright. It goes on smoothly but has a slightly chemical smell and dries down pretty chalky. I'm not sure about the staying power because I had to get this off my lips because it just felt so sticky to me. This was not a good one for me.

I think it looks totally unnatural on me. It is just such an incredibly vibrant color that I don't see myself wearing even if the formula was more comfortable on my lips.

I tried to tone it down a bit with the DLS gloss over it, but instead, I think it intensified it even more!

Steve Laurant Matte Liquid Lipstick in Bestie - Retail Value $22
This lipstick was my favorite this month. Maybe it's because I'm in a fall mood, but I really love the deep color of this lipstick. It goes on incredibly smooth and wears almost like a stain with no stickiness, and none of that chalky dryness that matte lipsticks often have. This impressive formula was highly pigmented and long-lasting with a nice even wear-down.

Even though the color is a bit more dramatic than I normally like, I am loving this for when I'm in the mood for a bold look!

Here it is with a swipe of the DLS gloss over it. It adds just a hint of pink and a nice sheen.
Here they are swatched. In order from top to bottom, they are Lip Monthly, Dirty Little Secret, Steve Laurant, and ModelCo.
Verdict: I enjoyed the selections from Lip Monthly this month and I love the cute bag design! The only color I could have done without was probably the Lip Monthly lipstick, but I was pretty impressed with how ridiculously bright it was and how pigmented, even though it was not at all flattering for my skin tone. I'm loving the Steve Laurant color and it is giving me all the fall vibes so for the $12.95 cost of this subscription, I'm pretty happy!
