Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks: Review + Swatches

Hi guys and welcome back to another blog post! Once again I'm reviewing my favorite type of lipstick, liquid lipsticks. These liquid lipsticks are by Ofra Cosmetics and I am so excited to talk about this brand. I hadn't really heard about Ofra Cosmetics except for some Youtube videos until I found out that Kathleenlights did a liquid lipstick collab with them.  I absolutely love Kathleen and I love to support my fave Youtubers whenever they come out with a beauty product so not only did I get her liquid lipstick, I also got four more that I thought I would like. 

Ofra Cosmetics was created by Ofra Gaito, a therapist and makeup artist, and had begun this brand by opening up spas. She expanded her line to what it is today with her husband David and have created a professional skin care and makeup line. According to Youtubers and Kathleen, these long lasting liquid lipsticks have a different formulation in comparison to other liquid lipsticks. 

The shades that I got are Pasadena, Mocha, Americano, Miami Fever, and Honolulu (from left to right, swatched against my skin).

Claims: Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick is a one step full lip color that does not feather. These vibrant colors will give you a vivacious new look. They are creamy and soft in texture, moisturizing the lips and creating a long lasting lipstick effect. No need to use lipliner, this liquid lipstick gives a beautiful edge to your lip look! Our formula is a matte color formula. All shades contain antioxidants and Vitamin E while the formula provides a lightweight layer of lasting color to make you look stunning all day. Color will last in a perfect condition up to five hours without eating or drinking. For best results do not eat or drink for 15 minutes after applying. Please note that this is not a lip stain and does not dry completely but remains on your lips for hours!

Now that you've read the claims, lets check out each liquid lipstick that I got!

Catching Up! July & August 2015 Ipsy Glam Bags

Yes I know, I'm horrible at keeping up with my Ipsy bags, but I've just been in such a rut with the blog! I've been trying to get out of the rut but nothing gives me inspiration. So I decided that I might as well try to get out of the rut by starting with the Ipsy bags. Now before the September bag comes along and I'm even more late, let's talk about the July and August Ipsy bags!

First up is the July bag. The theme for July was Summer Lovin' and the bag really embodied what I feel summer is. The bag has this unique zig zag print with such bright and fun colors. I think it's such a cute bag. The material is also soft.

As for the August bag, the theme was Prep School. The bag's design is this awesome houndstooth pattern and has pink detailing. It is super cute and the material is actually a plastic one. It seems more durable than the soft material of the July bag. This bag is really perfect for that back to school theme. 

As always, there are five beauty items in each bag that you can receive based on your answers on their beauty quiz. So if you want to know what I got in my bag for July (and August) please click on the read more!
