L.A. Girl Matte Flat Velvet Lipstick, Carried Away GLC802

I simply love this color! It’s very hard to find. If you apply a basic chapstick first, it glides on so gorgeously and stays much longer without drying. I’ve ordered several of these and will continue as long as they keep selling. I really don’t understand the bad reviews unless they just don’t like the color, got a defective product, or are applying in some odd way. Very silky and smooth. I also think it depends on the quality of the lips.

A bit patchy however at the top of the lipstick is a little reserve of light pink balm that is used as a topper. This is what I have on my lips and I think it looks pretty- a lovely baby pink. The staying power is not good however, it’s glossy with the balm and matte without.Great price and I’ve been using this for 10 years now.

I am looking for a soft pink shade. No pink in this lipstick

It's a win for the pale girlies! No seriously, if you're super pale and have a cool undertone, you know how hard it is to find a nude pink that looks good and isn't too peachy/orange. Now, you DON'T wanna go applying this like a typical lipstick, or else it just looks like you smeared pink cake frosting all over your mouth -- not cute! Instead, very lightly dab it on and tap it out with your finger to blend it. It looks good that way on it's own, but it will probably be drying, so you can also put a gloss on top like I did in the last picture -- I used Revlon Super Lustrous gloss in shade "Sky Pink" (which is ALSO a massive win for the pale girlies on it's own) and it matches perfectly!As far as the formula, it's very creamy and definitely streaky if you put too much on. Haven't done a wear test yet to see how long it lasts/through food and stuff. It does have a bit of a sunscreen-y smell to it, but not very strong.Overall, if you're looking for something to slap on like a standard lipstick, this is not it -- it takes a little time to make it work. However, it's exactly what I was looking for, so it gets my stamp of approval!

This color is perfect and is exactly as it looks on the site it’s a cool toned pink perfect for lining your lips

The color is pretty and for the money it’s great. It goes on smooth and even not clumpy or sticky. Last as long as any lipstick on the lips. The problem is that the product it’s self doesn’t last long. It oxidizes from a pretty pink to a yellowing peach (in the tube). Once the tube oxidizes the color changes and the product consistency changes-it gets dryer. The resulting color on your lips is flat and not very pretty. So if your looking for a disposable. limited use, inexpensive lip color this is great. Otherwise, spend a little more and get something better like elf or wet and wild.

Cute, I bought it as dupe for Mac St. Germain, it doesn't have the cool purple undertones just very pink. It's a nice lipstick for the price and lasts a long time. I pair it with a gloss and it looks nice.

KEY NOTE: I don't tend to swipe this lipstick on, as if I do-- yes, it's very light for a shade. I rather dab it on or use my finger to spread it on my lips, this gives a more natural feel to the color I want!This lipstick isn't really for those with a deep/intense contrasting (to the shade) skin tone. Finally, FINALLY found a lipstick that's not only matte, but lightens my lips without turning orange (cool undertone!)For those reviewing saying it's "too light" and "not matte/longwear", you have to let it set!!! Really! And if that's not enough, use some LIGHT setting powder, don't want to dry out your lips. Stuff that's longwear needs time to set so the formula can do just that.I love this lipstick. I got 3 more because I'm terrified I won't find anything else if it's discontinued LOL. Please never stop making this I beg you, sincerely a pale girl who does makeup all the time <3(Yes I'm awake I don't look very pale but trust me, irl I am intensely so.)-Smell wise, it's fine, has a bit of a chalky smell but I don't care cuz.. holy grail, also I don't mind a bit of fragrance or clean smelling products-It goes on creamy but dries matte. Again, let set!-I don't swipe on this lipstick as even on me, it'll be too light! I dab it on, use a lip brush, or my fingers to build color. Lasts like crazy too.Just get it. It's really not bad. :) remember, oil/oily foods will also make any makeup, waterproof or not, disintegrate. That doesn't mean makeup sucks!Oh also, to wrap up the yapfest, it's cheap and that's MAD GOOD. Thanks 🙏
