I'm so disappointed in this lipstick! I bought 5 shades, but the formula is not for me! This lipstick dries my lips, it sucks the moisture out (I scrub my lips before applying any matte lipsticks for extra moisture & for the lipstick not to dry my lips so easily.) It's affordable but not great.

This product is a great dupe for the NYX Soft Matte Lipstick. They have a similar feeling on the lips and the scent is very similar as well.
It is very comfortable to wear and lasts a decent amount of time. Its a matte formula that has enough moisture to keep you lips hydrated! This range doesn't have the largest selection of colours but they do offer a few unique shades like navy blue, grey and really pretty purples.

After I couldn't find a colour I liked with the matte lipsticks I usually used I decided to give the LA girl runway a try, I mean why not, it was only 50 bucks and after a swatch I decided to take it.
It was life changing. The formula is so creamy and keeps your lips ultra hydrated whilst still remaining matte on your lips. I first purchased the shade runway and it was a mahogany like shade and it was divine, the colour is so intense, it smells great and keeps everything moist while staying matte.
I then purchased the shade snuggle which was a nude colour with a tinge of pink, it suits me perfectly.
Absolutely love this shade of matte creamy lipsticks with intense pigments. Would definitely recommend.
The packaging is also wonderful and all of the lipsticks come sealed with a tab you have to break to open, they're also small so you can take it everywhere.
Amazing product, great quality and an affordable price.

If you are looking to score a decent matte lipstick at a great price, you should try these!
I have two of the many (many!) shades available - one is a deep red and the other is a dusty pink. I love both colours, but I find the red shade lasts a lot longer than the pink one on my lips, while the pink shade seems to be more buttery and easier to apply than the red one. I haven't tried any of the other shades available, but I'm guessing the difference in formula probably comes down to the pigmentation in it.
The formula itself is not very drying on the lips, and it is a true velvet matte. However, like with all matte lipsticks, if your lips are slightly chapped before application, it will be very noticeable.
All in all, for the price this is a good product with a wide variety of shades, so you can really afford to try all the crazy colours without breaking the bank!

As a lover of lipsticks and all things matte, I am always on the look out for great cheaper options.
The LA Girl Matte Flat Velvet Lipsticks come in a vast number of shades. The shades can be similar so I believe there is a shade for almost every skin tone from all the options they have. The pigment is great, especially the bold colour options.
On the first few uses I found the lippie to be smooth and the colour pay off is great. Once it's been exposed to some air, lips and handbags (lol) the smooth application becomes a challenge.
It can get patchy so the need to re-apply will increase throughout the day depending on how much one keeps their mouth closed. When re-applying, you have to wipe the left over colour on your lips ALL off and then redo your lips, else you will end up with shriveled and clumpy looking lips.
I had to apply a nourishing base because my lips would end up feeling dry soon after application.
They price is great and if you don't mind having to redo your lips then this is an option to consider.

The colours are great, they come in a variety of shades so you can find that perfect pink. I found the actual formula to be quiet drying on the lips. Rather than making my lips look full, these make them look a bit shriveled. They are not very long lasting, the lipstick doesn't glide over my lips smoothly and doesn't seem to adhere to the skin well. If I use a bolder lip shade, I need something that won't wipe off my lips as soon as I eat or drink something. It can look patchy and uneven once it starts to wear off which is not flattering.

This line of lipsticks is by far one of the best according to me. There's quite a wide variety of colours , from the usual nude, red and coral all the way to blue, black and grey .They are very affordable at R59.99 from Dischem and the matte factor is not the type to dry out ones lips and the staying power is amazing.
If you are looking for a beautiful matte lip but don't wanna break the bank (or your lips for that matter), then this is definitely a must get.

These are in my humble lipstick loving opinion, some of the best lippies on the market. The colour variety isn't bad at all with a few wildcards thrown in like straight on Grey and Navy blue. I got one in the shade "807 Hot Stuff" which has a personality of its own. I swear this lipstick keeps changing colour on me. I bought it because I wanted a nice coral shade for summer which wasn' full on orange or too peachy but more to the pink side. I got exactly that in this product. It is the most vibrant colour that is super long wearing but just when I think I figured out the colour and it looks pink, it looks orange. Then when I think it's more of an orange pink it looks red...
I DON'T MIND THIS AT ALL and actually enjoy how playful this is. The formula is great!!! It has a very mouse like feel to it and applies fully matte. It is the most comfortable lippie ever and is once again so long lasting. It does not dry out your lips at all and I haven't had any irritation issues which I tend to get with lip products. The pigmentation is intense and it stays put, you don't need a lipliner here.
Ps. Not a lot of people know this, but the clear cap at the back with the colour of the lipstick in is actually a tiny gloss pot which you can remove and apply the same colour in a gloss form to your lips. Such a nice little surprise!!

I have had these for a while and have been loving them. They are very affordable and they have some good dupes for MAC like "love triangle" is a dupe for MAC Heroine, "Runway" would be a dupe for MAC Sin & "Bliss" is a dupe for MAC All Fired Up.
The color pay off is decent and they are not drying and will last a good 4 hours before u need a touch up.
You do still have to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before like with any other matte lipstick so you don't get flaky.
So overall this is a good buy
Thumbs up or Comment below if you would like to see a lip swatch video. :-)

So I have seen this range of lipsticks on social media sites for quite some time. I recently popped into a Dischem store when they were having the 3 for 2 sale and I picked up one of the lipsticks (I wanted to try it out before buying the other shades). I'm not sure what the name of the shade is (it has rubbed off on the packaging) but it is a deep, dark red.
I've been searching for a good quality, non-drying matte lipstick for a while now and I am so happy that I purchased this product. It is highly pigmented - even with just one layer - and its stays on my lips for quite a while. Of course, with almost every lipstick, reapplication is needed, but this lipstick only needs one reapplication throughout the day.
It glides on quite smoothly and has a rich, creamy texture - quite surprising for a matte lipstick. I find that it is not strictly matte as it has a hint of a shimmer to it. It is such great quality that I will probably go back and buy some more shades. The shades in the range are also quite interesting. Besides the everyday pinks and reds, there's a grey, black, dark blue and brown shade.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an inexpensive, good quality lipstick shade.

I saw these fantastic lipsticks at Dischem, and all LA Girl products were on a 3for2 special, so I grabbed 3 colours (well, I spent about 20min debating which shades to choose).
I ended up going for Hush (an everyday pinkey-nude), Relentless (a classic red) and Runway (a really vampy dark deep reddish-brown).
They don't feel drying on the lips at all, and the colour does definitely last longer than your average lipstick. They also have such an impressive shade range, including some very on trend colours. For the price, these babies are so so worth it!

I've been suffering from hair loss for a while now and so I've decided to give these pills a chance. It is actually part of a 3 step system (shampoo, conditioner and tonic) and then you also get these pills. I've decided to try only the pills for now as I'm still in the process of going blonde and I'm using shampoo for that.
I've been using these pills for about 2 weeks now and I've noticed a decrease in hair fall. ( Yay happy me )
So if you're also struggling with hair fall and have run out of ideas ( like me - Have done all the masks and used all the treatments ), I recommend giving these pills a try.

Matte Flat Velvet Lipsticks: Snuggle
I am a lover of matte lipsticks which is why I was so drawn to them and making a decision to choose just one was really tough. The Matte Lip range consists of 26 stunningly pigmented shades which contain Shea butter to keep your lips hydrated giving you that velvet touch.
The shade Snuggle is a neutral light brown/mauve colour which goes with everything it is a great day/night shade. What first caught my eye was the fact they were matte but after swatching a few of the colours I was interested looking at in store I noticed how smooth the lipsticks were once applying, and how pigmented, rich and bright the colours were and added bonus the tops of all the lipsticks have colour indicators which match the lipstick exactly.
These are a steal only R59 so don't feel bad if you splurge on one to many lipsticks, they are 3 for 2 on special anyway.
