Menow Generation-II Long Lasting Lip Gloss
The label says lip gloss but these are really matte lip creams.
Note: #02 and #10 are a bit different in the picture

Lip Swatches:
Sorry for the messy lip swatches. After doing a couple, my lips started to hurt already.
✽ 02 – mauve colour; it’s actually darker in person
✽ 10 – it’s the perfect nude!
✽ 08 – deep deep red
✽ 04 and 11 are very similar, but 04 is more of a reddish pink
✽ 07 – deep berry; it’s still a bit wet when I took this picture
✽ 24 – it’s like a peachy champagne
✽ 01 – hot pink
✽ 17, 12, 11 – the colours are as it is

CONS:
✾ Some of the colours are too sheer so you have to layer it (especially the lighter colours). You have to wait for it to dry before topping it off with another layer.
✾ I know it’s matte but they’re really a bit drying
✾ Sticky – if you press your lips together, it’s really sticky, which makes it look patchy, but there’s no reason for you to keep pressing your lips together. Even if your mouth is closed and then you open it a little bit, you’ll still feel it stick.
✾ 36 colours in total but majority of them are very similar to each other

OVERALL:
✪ These swatched beautifully on my arm but unfortunately, I don’t think that I’ll be using these as much as I wanted to due to the stickiness. I really wanted to like these products but they’re just too sticky for my liking.
