SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick Rethink Pink 07 - Swatches & Review

I just could not stop my self from smearing my lips in Rethink Pink as soon as I opened my February fab bag and saw SUGAR Smudge Me Not Lipstick in it. I already knew I will be getting the recently launched Smudge Me Not lipstick in my fab bag since Fab Bag asked me to pick my shade few days back. I was just waiting for my fab bag to arrive so that I could see my self what is so good about this new girl in town. As I was telling you that I wore it in the morning and did not care to retouch until later in the evening. Yes it is that intense. So I decided I must show this bubbly girl to you as this range really needs review since it’s new.

About SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick

SUGAR recently launched this and has been constantly emailing the lipstick lovers about this new launch. No doubt we are all curious since the name itself says Smudge Me Not. SUGAR claims that this is one coat wonder and so intense that your lipstick will stay longer than your longest day. Now that’s huge claim. The lipstick is liquid that sets off in matte finish. SUGAR shouts for all the matte lipstick lovers to try stunning 10 beautiful shades.

Price

Rs. 499 for 4.5ml.

Ingredients

Packaging

The packaging of this liquid lipstick does not look fancy at first sight, but when I really looked at it closely, it looked like I am actually seeing a lipstick enclosed in a transparent cover. But it is not a lipstick in bullet, since it is liquid, it is packed in the form of a lip gloss. The liquid lipstick comes in a transparent tube of pigment with applicator wand at the top. Smudge Me Not is printed horizontally on the transparent tube. The shade no and name are also printed at the bottom of the tube. Since the colour tube is transparent I can see the quantity and colour of the lipstick. The applicator wand is angled to line the lips while giving them intense colour. The applicator is smooth and gives perfect application. The tube has a rounded small opening for the wand to go inside the tube. The lipstick is very tiny. It will fit in the palm of my hand.

Taste, Texture & Smell

Initially there is no taste as such, but after the lipstick has set in matte finish there is little powdery feeling on my lips. It feels like I have literally painted my lips.

Texture of the lipstick is really smooth but little thick so I have to immediately apply the lipstick before it’s dry. It dries up really quickly so messy application would ruin the look. I line up my lips with the wand provided with the lipstick and then quickly fill in between.

There is a sweet yet chemically smell in the tube but it’s really mild and does not bother me until I sniff into the tube. It is not horrible as Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream.

Pigmentation

This lipstick reminded me of Maybelline Super Stay Range. This liquid lipstick is insanely pigmented. I have to be really careful while applying it so that I do not stain my skin in an unwanted manner. SUGAR already points out that it’s very pigmented so you need to apply this on your lower lip first and then press your lips together. But I am not sure if that would give an even application. So I just go the old way. I apply it as I apply a lip gloss. Pick as little as you can and start applying from the middle of you upper/lower lid and all the way around. Go for another swipe if required. That gives me perfect application.

Shades

SUGAR launched 10 beautiful shades in this particular range. Even though the shade range is limited, SUGAR has tried to touch every colour family. Following are the shades of this range:

01 Brazen Raisin , 02 Brink Of Pink, 03 Tan Fan, 04 Plum Yum, 05 Rust Lust , 06 Tangerine Queen , 07 Rethink Pink, 08 Wine & Shine, 09 Sauve Mauve, 10 Drop Dead Red.

Shade – Rethink Pink 07

It is a beautiful pink shade which is going to suit every skin tone and will be loved by every one. My Camera did not do justice to the colour as it mostly looked more of Mauve, but it is really deep pink which can be toned down to subtle pink. If I use the colour in full throttle I get very deep colour, but I can use just a hint of the colour to get a perfect hint of pink which I prefer for every day look.

Finish

This is a liquid lipstick setting off in a completely matte finish. The formula is quick dry hence I need to be really quick and precise with the application.

Longevity

This range is here to stay. The performance is comparable to that of the Maybelline Super Stay Range. You can just apply it in the morning and forget for good 5-6 hours. Even after 5-6 hours you will need to retouch the formula and will be set for another 5-6 hours, while surviving full meals and sips in between.

Likes

Intense pigmentation.
Smooth & quick dry formula.
Matte finish.
Compact packaging.
Long lasting colour.
Fabulous shades.
Does not dry out lips on its own.

Dislikes

Limited range of shades.
Little powdery finish when it sets off.

Summary

I think all matte lovers will the formula and the staying power. Some might feel the price is bit high but I feel the performance justifies the price and the compact design. I wish SUGAR comes up with more shades in this range.
