Hi ladies,

Hope you all are doing fine? Weekend is here and I am all set to go shopping, wish I get everything I want. So today I am here to review a lipstick from Covergirl, my first purchase from the brand, My husband got me two lippies from the brand during one of his recent trips to US. So lets see whether my first purchase has impressed me or not.

My take on the Covergirl Lip Perfection Lip Color – Siren:

Packaging– The lipstick is enclosed in a glossy brown rectangular tube with the base representing the colour of the shade inside. The name of the shade is also indicated on the base but there are no other specific details regarding the product. The cap shuts with a tight click thus making it travel friendly.

Colour– The shade is a beautiful bright magenta pink with cool undertones and loads of micro golden shimmers, apt for party wear. It is a bit bold and loud colour which I don’t usually wear in its full intensity plus the extra shimmers really gives more focus to your lips. It does not make your lips look like a disco ball but the golden shimmers give a frosty touch to the lipstick.

Texture– The lipstick is slightly gritty in texture and does not have any smooth or creamy nature to it, which is not at all appealing. It slides on lips in an uneven manner and never glides like normal lipsticks, however there is no much tug or pull. The shimmer present in it really pulls down the texture of the lipstick to a gritty rough nature. But when worn over a lip balm, it glided really well on lips but the intensity of the colour reduced, it stayed as a light pink shade rather than the bold bright colour. It does not highlight any dry patches or settle into lip lines, which I really dreaded would happen.

Finish– Even though you feel a rough uneven nature when you apply the lipstick, it gives an even finish to your lips, the colour is equally distributed all over the lips. It has a matte effect even though it is filled with shimmers and also gives a frosty luminous finish. I felt it a bit drying on my lips, it did not give any moisturization or hydration to my lips.

Pigmentation and Coverage– The pigmentation of this lipstick is through the roof and I have never come across such intense pigmentation before. It provides almost full coverage in one coat and can give an opaque coverage in 2 coats. It is highly recommended for pigmented lips as it can completely conceal the pigmentation. There is no doubt, it will instantly brighten up your face.

Staying power- Along with intense pigmentation, it has super duper staying power. It stayed on for more than 7 hours with light snacking, drinking and even a heavy meal, it just faded a bit. No other lipsticks have ever stayed on my lips in that manner after a heavy meal. The bright pink stain remained forever on my lips. I think this would stay up to 10 or 12 hours in my honest opinion, I would have to sleep with the lipstick on, to mark its longevity. Once it is applied to our lips, it stays put throughout. I did not line my lips while using this lipstick and there was no feathering or bleeding whatsoever. It was even tough to remove with a makeup remover.There was minimal transference to cups and cutlery. But again when this was worn on top of a lip balm, the lipstick tends to fade away easily after a meal.. So for better staying power I think it is best to apply a lip balm above the lipstick whenever you feel dry.

Fragrance– It has a very weird chemical smell which is very overpowering and when I took a sniff at the lipstick, I literally felt like puking ( sorry, I had to write it). I do feel it when I apply it on my lips, but not so much in intensity, it fades after a while but I could still taste it in my mouth. So people with real sensitive noses will have to skip this one.

Overall it has its share of pros and cons. People who don’t like shimmery or frosty touch to their lipsticks, can stay away from this one. It is a colour suitable mainly for fair/medium skin tones, even dusky skin tones an give it a try.

  • It tends to be a little dry on your lips and does not have any hydrating or moisturizing properties.
  • It has an awful chemical smell which is very overpowering and you can even feel it in your mouth after application, so sensitive noses stay far away from this one.

IMBB rating:
3/5.I gave 3 for its colour and staying power. I would not recommend this lipstick to anyone just because of its fragrance which is way too overpowering and weird. Otherwise it is pretty good shade with excellent staying power and pigmentation.

Would I repurchase Covergirl Lip Perfection Lip Color- Siren?

A big no, I will never be repurchasing this shade, but I think I will try other shades. Not all shades have this overpowering smell, the second lippie I have with me has an ok fragrance.
