My Experience with Sugar Cosmetics Tangerine Queen Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick:
Let’s start with the packaging of the product. The liquid lipstick comes in a cardboard carton with signature Sugar Cosmetics fonts and prints on it. The graphic box looks quite fun and nice. The lipstick comes in a squarely shaped see-through packaging, which helps to spot the shade quickly from makeup stash. The shade name is mentioned at the base of the tube and also on the outer carton. The tube closes securely with a regular screw on cap, which fits securely making it leak proof and travel friendly. The shape of the lipstick tube is similar to Maybelline Colorsensational Velvet Matte lipsticks. The shape of the lipstick is fairly basic, so it is easy to store these lipsticks. The applicator comes attached with the cap. The applicator wand is small but still it is apt for application. The applicator gives sharp edges and a perfect pout. Overall, the packaging is basic and travel friendly.
“Tangerine Queen” is a bright and bold orange coral shade. The color is too bold and it is not for weak-hearted people. Those who prefer subtle shades will find this too bold to handle.
It is not an everyday shade and may look over the top bright for everyday use. Since I am in love with bold shades these days, I find both Rethink Pink and Tangerine Queen as a perfect party shades for summers. The shade is great for fair to medium skin tones. I really love the colour on my lips. It instantly brightens up my dull face. The finish of this lipstick is super matte and looks classy, but it looks kind of flat on the lips and does not add dimension to the lips. There is no significant sheen or shimmer in this lipstick.
These lipsticks have a mild candy-like fragrance. The smell is mild and non-bothering. The smell fades away gradually within a few minutes. The color payoff of this lipstick is amazing. It is insanely pigmented. One swipe of this lipstick gives an opaque finish to the lips. One coat gives perfect rich color to the lips and hides all the flaw and pigmentation. Overall, I am quite impressed with the color pay off.
The texture of the lipstick is soft, smooth and kind of creamy. The formula is not too watery unlike other liquid lipsticks. Hence, it glides smoothly on the lips without any tugging or pulling or any mess. It never settles into the fine lines of the lips. The lipstick is absolutely waterproof and smudge-proof. This shade streaks a little with the first coat, but finally settles down with the second coat. It is perfectly transfer proof and budge-proof. It does not budge even after a full meal. The formula is lightweight and feels super comfortable on the lips. The lipstick highlights the dry patches of the lips, so it is mandatory to keep the lips properly exfoliated and moisturized.
The lipstick dries out quickly in some 40-50 seconds and leaves an ultra matte finish. The lipstick sets fairly quickly, so I have to be very quick while applying it on the lips to avoid patchy finish. The lipstick formula is not really moisturizing and feels dry if the lips are not properly moisturized. This particular shade has the tendency to slightly crumble from the inner sides of the lips. Although, the lipstick feels slightly sticky initially, once it sets it feels super comfortable on the lips and the sticky feel goes away.
The lasting power is super long, it stays for more than 8 hours on my lips. The color looks fresh and intense all the time. It does not smear at all. Removing the lipstick is slightly difficult, as you will need good oil-based makeup remover to take it off completely because it does not even budge with a water-based remover. It does not survive full oily meal and gets chipped off from the center of the lips. So, it requires a reapplication. With such a smooth texture reapplication and touch ups are easier and mess free.
