Mine has a bit of sheen to it as well.I know they said Blow's formula is slightly creamier but when I wear it, it has a constant sheen to it! I'm lovin the color and very happy with the purchase but in other photos it looks so matte on everyone else! I just wish the shine wasn't there...
Blow would be my favorite out of the three (even though I don't have Bane or Space Cake yet). They all look like, "I'mma take yo' money" kind of shades though, so I agree with Mosha... take 'em all!Going to a casino this weekend trying to decide on space cake, blow or bane? I love them!
I think I will take them all! Thanks ladies!
Ok so I am definitely order bang bang and summer but do I really need belladonna2 ? I have so manny reds plus it looks close to rubywoo and her sister riri ??While this is swatched on my hand, i used no flash. Just my iphone. Do you see the violet in it?DGAF
It's not necessarily a NEED...especially if you already have a pinky red, but the formula is nice. Compared to RiRi Woo...Belladonna 2 is more pink but it depends on your skin tone how much brighter it may look on you. Hope that helps.Ok so I am definitely order bang bang and summer but do I really need belladonna2 ? I have so manny reds plus it looks close to rubywoo and her sister riri ??
Summer is also extremely dry on me as opposed to the other colors. I don't think you got a bad batch.Did quick swatches of the 3 lippies I got today (Summer, Bang Bang, & Belladonna 2). A bit disappointed with Summer. Mine is bone dry...only one out of my 9 color collection that is like that. Not sure if I just got a bad one or of that's just how it is. I'm sure I can make it work though.
What was it that you hated about the application? It would probably help others that are on the fence about trying certain colors out. I didn't pick that one up although I thought about it. Like I mentioned before, the only "dud" so far out of 9 seems to be Summer because it's so dry but it's not something I can't figure out how to work with. It was just a surprise compared to all of the others that I purchased.I wore By Starlight for the first time today, hated the application. I'll give it another try but so far I'm not impressed.
It wasn't smooth at all, dry, & very patchy. My lips were prepped before I applied it, so that couldn't be an issue. It was somewhat of a let down. I'm getting compliments regarding the color but it shouldn't be that much of a hassle for it to look presentable.What was it that you hated about the application?
