TLDR: Like the formula, Some of the shades are hit or miss, Overpriced in my opinion, Enjoy wearing but would only recommend if someone is willing to pay the price for them

I bought BHue's liquid matte lipsticks because they collaborated with Thataylaa (aka Taylor) who is my favorite beauty Youtuber. I love Taylor's Foundation Friday videos and her overall personality. I feel she is an honest Youtuber and one that I could support so I had to buy her lipstick.

I bought two shades of their lipsticks, Taylor's shade 1548 and the shade Natural Nude, both for $18. Looking back, I wish I bought the color Pretty Penny instead of Natural Nude because Natural Nude is one of the nudest nudes I have seen. I do not like Natural Nude on my skin tone at all. I usually go for a more pink tone nude so I am going to try to put a pinker lip liner under this lipstick to make it work. I like 1548 on my skin tone. It looks like a strawberry deep red color if that makes sense. I put some swatches that I swatched on my arm in natural light below for reference. Bhue also gave me a sample of their liquid matte lipstick in Poppy Red. This color is super bright red, and I am not sure what occasion I would wear this for.

The formula of this lipstick is nice. It is creamy in consistency and similar to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. It does dry matte and is slightly drying but still comfortable. The first time I wore 1548 it lasted well on the lips through eating but did come off on cups that I was drinking from. I also noticed that 1548 started to bleed a little bit on my lips even though I had a lip liner underneath it. It lasted well throughout the day, but I would say it looked alright at the end of the day. Overall, I think, in the future, I would just buy the NYX lip creams instead as these will not be a Holy Grail kind of product for me, and I think they are pricy for what you are getting.

I wanted to wear these a little more before posting a review, but I don't know how long 1548 (Taylor's shade) will be available because it is a limited edition color. If you are interested in her shade and want to try a new brand out, here is the link.
