Fairy Girl Cosmetics Liquid to Matte Lipsticks Review


Fairy Girl Cosmetics is an amazing Vegan and Cruelty-Free beauty brand that offers an incredible selection of non-toxic and safe lip products! I first fell in love with the company when I purchased 3 shades of their Mineral Stick Lipsticks. The formulas were so creamy and long wearing that when I saw their new Liquid to Matte Collection, I knew I had to try them out ASAP.

Prior to making my switch to green beauty, I was one of those Sephora VIB Rogue Girls that had every Urban Decay Palette and a literal hoard of Liquid Lipsticks from Anastasia, Kat Von D, Stila, and NYX. After making my switch over to healthier, green, and eco-friendly options, I was probably the most sad to part with my Soft Matte Lip Creams! Replicating a long-wearing, featherweight, matte lip shade with safe ingredients is incredibly difficult I'm sure. Due to their commitment to protecting our bodies and the bodies of our animals friends, Fairy Girl has created the most incredible option for those of us wanting a little more glam with our green makeup looks!

Formulated with FDA approved colorants and free of Carmine (tiny crushed red beetles) and beeswax, Fairy Girl's lip colors are Leaping Bunny and Peta Certified and 100% Vegan.



Pros:
  • Silky, smooth, lightweight texture
  • Easy to apply
  • Dries quickly to a completely matte finish
  • No heavy fragrance
  • Very long lasting
  • Doesn't dry out lips
  • Wide variety of shades and finishes
  • Amazing Price Point at $15!
Cons:
  • Can cling slightly to dry spots on lips
  • Would love to see some swatches on website!
First Impression:
I have honestly been so impressed with these Liquid Lipsticks. When I went through and actually did the research necessary to check out their ingredients (as a lot were ones I didn't recognize off the top of my head), I was so impressed with their attention and care to detail when formulating these gems. Applying these lippies reminds me so much of when I would apply my NXY Soft Matte Lip Creams; however, I feel totally responsible that I am not applying toxic ingredients onto the surface of my lips. They go on very silky with tons of saturation and dry to touchable, transfer proof matte finishes. I can't wait to try some more shades in the future!
