Liquid Lipsticks: NYX, Sleek & Kat Von D
No ano passado decidi aderir à moda dos batons líquidos e experimentar os mais famosos como os da Kat Von D, NYX e Sleek. Assim, deixo-vos esta semana a minha opinião acerca de cada um:
NYX (Loja NYX - 6€): Os batons líquidos da NYX nas cores "Milan" (rosa) e "Copenhagen" (roxo escuro) foram oferecidos pela minha irmã que sabia o quão curiosa estava por experimentá-los! No geral achei boa a relação qualidade-preço dos batons. Gosto do facto de haverem imensas cores disponíveis com nomes de cidades (o que torna cada batom mais memorável). No entanto, nunca consegui obter uma aplicação uniforme da cor mais escura. Durante a refeição o batom tem também tendência a desaparecer facilmente e uma nova aplicação deixa o contorno dos lábios mais escuro.
Sleek (Sephora - 7€): Esta marca está disponível na Sephora, apesar de não ser muito fácil de encontrar porque está normalmente na lateral dos expositores. Comprei a cor "Bittersweet" (rosa coral) e não podia estar mais contente com os resultados! A duração é muito superior aos da NYX, bem como a pigmentação. Pode deixar os lábios um pouco secos, mas nada que um batom do cieiro não resolva aplicando antes e depois. Na minha opinião, a qualidade é muito boa em relação ao preço. Foi definitivamente o que mais me surpreendeu!
Kat Von D (Sephora noutros países ou online - 20 USD): A cor "Lolita" (castanho) foi uma boa adição para a minha colecção! Adapta-se a várias ocasiões e é mais discreta que outras cores que tenho. A duração do batom é ligeiramente maior que o da Sleek. Há disponíveis imensas cores e com uma óptima pigmentação. Gostei em particular da textura porque não deixa os lábios muito secos. A qualidade é adequada ao preço e é excelente para quem procura um batom diferente em relação à cor, durável e com boa qualidade. Espero mesmo que esteja disponível brevemente em Portugal porque fiquei curiosa para experimentar os outros produtos desta marca!
No geral os batons são bons, a escolha dependerá da importância dada a cada característica (preço, cor, duração, pigmentação e textura). Habitualmente uso todos consoante a ocasião.
Last year I decided to give the liquid lipsticks trend a chance and try out the most famous ones like Kat Von D, NYX and Sleek. I leave you my opinion about each of them on this post:
NYX (NYX Store - 6€): My sister gave me the NYX liquid lipsticks in the colours "Milan" (pink) and Copenhagen (dark purple) as she knew how curious I was to try them! In general the have a good price-quality. I like the fact that there are a lot of colours available with names of cities (which makes each lipstick more memorable). However, I never managed to get an even application of the darkest colour. During a meal, they also tend to fade easily and a reapplication leaves the outline much darker.

Sleek (Sephora - 7€): This brand is available at Sephora, although it is not easy to find as it is usually on the side of an exhibitor. I bought the colour "Bittersweet" (coral pink) and I couldn't be happier with the results! It lasts longer and has a higher pigmentation than NYX's. It can leave your lips a bit dry, but nothing a good lip-balm can't solve when applied before and after. In my opinion, the quality is really good comparing to the price. It was definitely the lipstick that surprised me the most!
Kat Von D (Sephora in other countries or online - 20 USD): The colour "Lolita" (brown) was a great addition to my collection! You can use it in many occasions and it is the more low-key than the others. It also lasts a bit longer than Sleek's. There are a lot of colours available with great pigmentation. I particularly liked its texture because it doesn't leave the lips very dry. The quality fits the price and it's excellent for anyone looking for a unique lipstick colour that lasts and has great quality. I really hope Kat Von D is available soon in Portugal as I'm very curious to try other products!

In general, all lipsticks are good, the choice will depend on how much value you give to each characteristic (price, colour, duration, pigmentation and texture). I usually wear all of them depending on the occasion.
See you next time,
