Jouer Guava & Cayenne Long-Wear Lip Crème Liquid Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Guava
Jouer Guava Long-Wear Lip Crème Liquid Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.21 fl. oz.) is a muted, medium-dark coral-orange with warm undertones and fine gold and pink pearl. It had more of a “matte” metallic finish. It was harder to dupe compared from the shades I purchased from Jouer recently, mostly due to the finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that went on decently, but it wasn’t completely even and needed a second layer for full coverage, though the texture was more emphasizing of the texture of my lips with a second coat (and already accentuated by the initial layer). The color lasted for five hours on me but was non-drying.
The formula is supposed to be “weightless” with “full coverage color” that “lasts all day.” It is the type of liquid lipstick that dries to a matte, transfer-proof finish. I find the formula varies from semi-opaque to opaque coverage with the more metallic shades often being more semi-opaque and buildable. The texture is thin but not watery, so they dry down a little faster than average, but I rarely feel like I don’t have enough time to apply or that the application is difficult. The wear ranges from five to eight hours, depending on the shade, and the formula is non-drying to slightly drying, depending on the shade. The formula has a strong, sweet scent–almost like caramel and vanilla to me.

PPermanent. $18.00.
Cayenne
Jouer Cayenne Long-Wear Lip Crème Liquid Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.21 fl. oz.) is a rich, medium-dark reddish plum with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish (that was also matte). The consistency was smooth, spreadable, and thin but not watery. It applied evenly across the lips and had mostly opaque color coverage. There was a bit of color that gathered in my deepest lip line but was hard to notice from a normal viewing distance. This shade stayed on well for six and a half hours and was non-drying.

Guava is adorable! Also, that scent combo sounds interesting.
Guava is interesting!
Cayenne is really beautiful. I love how metallic it is.
It is a lovely color!
Cayenne is my daughter’s name (although these days she’s known as Kat)! I wonder what she’ll make of this shade?
What a cool name! Very unique!
Cayenne is a super pretty one! It doesn’t have the dry, texture emphasizing effect that Guava has. It may be worth my effort to obtain.
Thank goodness have a better than good dupe for Guava in EL Naked Truth!
Naked Truth >> Guava!
I would like cayenne if it didn’t have AS MUCH sparkle. I love the depth and tone of it though!!!
Aww, darn!!
Lovely lip lacquers. Interestingly I have dupes for both. I had my eye on Cayenne but it’s more metallic than I thought it’d be. I still like it a lot though. Kween was the only one out of 3 CP lip metallics that looked good on me. I love Rikugien, wear it a lot.
What dupes do you have for Guava, Claire?
NARS Rikugien ?
Cayenne looks really nice. Glad to hear it wasn’t drying either!
I have an exact dupe for Guava, its by Huda Beauty in Socialite. It also has the same sheerness/patchiness as the Jouer formula, also with a second coat it emphasises texture. Its such unique color that I usually forgive, or use it as a top coat along the top lip.
