Lisa Eldridge lipsticks

[ChristalM]

Hi all,

Wondering if the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks are worth hunting down? Thoughts?

[Ispend2much6]

Just so happens vb’s are on sale at Violet Grey right now. @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

 @Ispend2much6 nice. Thankfully I neeed none right now. I’m stocked!  Wait. Aren’t they usually an exception tho? Not right now? 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom   Oops, you're correct.  And, you need to spend a$300 for measly 15%.  Nope.

[Sunnysmom]

Oh shoot @Ispend2much6 yup afraid she’s usually an exclusion on VG from past experience. WA isn’t tho fyi! 😊 

[Ispend2much6]

I ordered the green and gold.  I think they will look good together.  I'm really tired of my liner running all over my eyes and upper cheeks.  Even UD does a little bit. Hope this is a good formula.

 Ack! so here for these!!  - i think this green (not quite the olive im looking for) i might like the undertone better than the VB. Ouhh competition is here lol. I like 4 of the 6 woops. Im skipping black (i only need one of those) and the grey which i don't wear. 
 launching tomorrow !!

[Sunnysmom]

Did you get some @aviscardi ?! 💞

[aviscardi]

@Sunnysmom Yes!! So here is what is happening and I’m a bit torn.  I got them to wear on my waterline mainly as that’s how i wear my pencils 90% of the time. Occasionally i will add to the upper lash and that’s usually black or brown. They wore fine on the waterline in the 2 shades i tried both forest and gold pulled slightly on the corners after 6-9 hours nothing unusual. I wore the other 2 browns on the lashline and they don’t seem to set but then i guess neither does VB. Or am i imagining that?!. I tend to wear inglot gel in black when i have a full eyeshadow look so i don’t really notice.  I think I’m just confused about the budgeproof aspect because i don’t normally touch my eyes but then people were talking about it lol. So then i wanted to test it. I only had on a shadow stick with a touch of powder to lightly set it.  And then i ran my cream bronzer and powder blush and hl over it.

@aviscardiappreciate the eyeliner application conversation you and @Sunnysmom are having. I mostly line in the waterline, so it's possible the LE liners could work for me though it may not be worth the investment if they are tricky to apply. I have hooded eyes, so if I line above the lashes it can't transfer.

[aviscardi]

Yep @TraceyEB that’s where i wear my pencils mainly too so i think it should be fine. I don’t have hooded lids but i can imagine they will for sure transfer especially if someone has oily lids. I wore burnt umber in my waterline and had my makeup on for about 9hrs yesterday but I was wiped and totally forgot to check out the liner ha. By the time i did i already removed some but it looked it was mostly in tact except the corners which is fine with me. 

[TraceyEB]

@aviscardi, thanks for sharing your experience! I have oily and hooded lids so, for me, these might only work on the waterline. 🤔

[Sunnysmom]

Ooh these are beautiful on you @aviscardi , thanks for showing us! 😍 I hear you on the waterline issues for liners. When I do that, not much really works forever. VBB isn’t bad, works ok but not forever,  HG , MJ and KVD were best at least in black and I haven’t tried these yet tho I will tomorrow I think. I will say this. Having used my 2 this am over my powder liner they are are still on and holding and it’s like 9 hours later lol. Smudged but still fully on. Maybe my eyelids aren’t too oily today tho I do use a cream powder then powder then the liner. Maybe I just lucked out today. Lol. Time will tell. But these shades look great on you ! Drats. I need the top one I guess! 😭 My VBB and HG are too bronzey. (Have you tried MAKE lines by the way? They’re pretty good!) 

[aviscardi]

Right so i had on just a shadow stick set lightly. And then i ran the cream bronzer and powder blush and highlight over. Usually when i would wear say for a longer day out I’d put powder shadow under right at the base to make it a bit smoky so I’m not sure if that’s why i didn’t notice before like you can’t have anything remotely emollient under. I just heard people talking and was like oh let me test lol. But so far they worked perfectly fine in the waterline. Maybe il try that today with powder liner on the lash line. Did yours smudge to touch ?

no someone else tho just mentioned.  Do they sharpen or retractable? 

[Sunnysmom]

I understand @aviscardi , that makes sense. I’m sure they will smudge way more that way as I think @Ispend2much6 mentions as well. 🙂 I found it to smudge a little when I touch it but really not too much even at end of the day. Sets pretty well it seems but I’m sure it does depend on what shadows etc . She says any sharpener that fits will work with them. Wish retractable. Hate wasting them! 

[aviscardi]

OK cool il take a look. I wasn't in the market for any liners (unless its olive) i just like trying LE prod. Il report back later, i tried on the powder liner under today.

[Sunnysmom]

I wasn’t either @aviscardi ! Lol. Hate when these new product pop ups just seem to appear! Messes with me😭. Btw I’m wearing Cinder on it’s own today, lined and smudged with nothing underneath and it’s definitely smudging and not staying in place. So wearing it over cream shadow first then powder shadow is what I’m def gonna always do! 💞 

[aviscardi]

I like sharpen better not a fan of retractable ha. Yea it worked better i think with powder liner under but it’s annoying me that i can touch my eyes and it does that. Especially since they keep claiming 40 secs and then it’s supposed to set like it never does lol. Il need to try again with like my mac paint pot set since it’s drier. 

[Sunnysmom]

I don’t mind either @aviscardi , I just hate to waste extra precious product! 😭 I hear you. I can feel it too even over my shadows. My other Chanel and VBB don’t. They do feel so lovely and smooth tho! I suppose the positives and a bit of negative! 

[Sunnysmom]

I’m excited too @aviscardi ! Prob have to try them! 

[Sunnysmom]

Here are a few of the new Velveteen lips. They are a bit drier on their own than I would prefer but still beautiful. A pretty true matte formula that starts out thin but is saturated , dries quickly and lasts a long long time. Not tacky. Jazz has this beautiful subtle luminous reflective look which is just so pretty and I understand the Velveteen term. My pic is not showing it quite enough.  I will try a balm with it too and see how that affects them. Please now let’s have a new semi matte formula with decent pigment but not dry! (How many times can I say dry in the same paragraph! 😆) Edit to add I did use the Fenty stain in Fuchsia Wife under it and whoa that’s a pretty combo. Very comfy and not as dry.

@Sunnysmom, beautiful shades! I've got my eye on Dragon and Affair. Ribbon would be my choice for reds but I want to try the formula first.
