My Experience with Ciate London Glitter Flip Metallic Glitter Lip Iconic:

Packaging: The liquid lipstick comes in a beautiful tube with a glittery cap. The glitter cap is sealed so it feels smooth like the rest of the tube which is a huge plus as it does not leave chunky glitter on your hands and in your purse. The wand has a curve to it which is fantastic as the pointed tip helps you get a sharp lip line and you can use the curved dip to hug your lips when it comes to filling it.

Consistency: The consistency is neither too thick nor too fluid. It is definitely on the thinner side, so the wand slips as you glide it on your lips ad can be difficult to control.

Shade and Pigmentation: “Iconic” is a black color with lots and lots of navy-purple glitter. It looks like the night sky/ galaxies on your lips. I normally would never opt for a black lipstick but this shade just drew me in and I don’t regret it one bit. I have two shades from this range but the shade “Iconic” is truly the superstar from this line. The glitters pop the best against a dark base and it doesn’t get any darker than black. The pigmentation is outstanding; one swipe = full opaque color.

Performance and feel on lips:  Now what makes this the most innovative product and worth the hype against any DIY glitter lip you try. Well, first and foremost, this is glitter suspended in liquid lipstick, so you apply it and let it dry for 1 minute (this is key), which is when it turns into a metallic finish which you could keep as it is, but the magic is when you press your lips and VOILA! – the lipstick transforms before your very eyes. The more you press them, the glittery it gets to some extent after which it stays the same.

This particular shade does tend to get patchy on the inner part of your lips and some of the lipstick peels off when you press your lips together but the glittery finish hides it to some extent which is why I would highly recommend using a lip liner (in my case, I just used a kajal/kohl eyeliner) on my lips.

You do not feel any glitter grittiness on your lips. The glitter does not transfer anywhere on your face. As with any liquid lipstick, it does dry completely transfer proof and kiss proof (tried and tested ! ) It feels super comfortable, neither too dry nor hydrating.

Staying Power:  This is a fantastic long-wear liquid lipstick. I have worn this for 6-7 hours, there was some fading on the inner part of my lips after I had some snacks and drinks, but for most part, it was intact. I believe it would even survive a full meal provided you are not a sloppy eater nor having food which is too oily. Doing touch up on an existing layer is difficult and the best thing to do would be to wipe it all clean and apply all over again which I don’t mind doing as I get to see the magic all over again 😀
