Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick Launches


Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick Launches

A full-coverage liquid lipstick delivering up to 14 hours of continuous wear, vivid color payoff, and a velvet matte finish. A proprietary blend of advanced polymers delivers intense, vibrant color for up to 14 hours, as well as a sophisticated velvet matte finish. Creates a breathable film of intense pigment that instantly bonds to the lips and seals in moisture with skin-conditioning emollients, fruit extracts and vitamins. Cili Fruit and Goji Berry extracts offer anti-oxidant protection for the lips, while Vitamins A, C and E nourish and protect. Rich formula glides on, provides cushion without tackiness and infuses the lips with dramatic color. Creates a silky smooth texture on the lips while filling in fine lines and preventing moisture evaporation.

Lips must be clean of other oils and balms to ensure proper binding of the fluid. Allow to set for 30 seconds to one minute. As the formula sets, the polymers bond to one another and create a protective, flexible “web” of color. Throughout the day, lips stay comfortable, while color film remains vibrant, elastic and firmly bound to the skin – without flaking or dryness. Extended coverage means you can literally set it and forget it over the course of the day. Free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates and lanolin.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I’m not entirely sure about this one…I will be eager to read reviews.  The warning that lips have to be free of other balms, etc., to ensure proper binding of the colour, coupled with the “velvet matte” finish make me wonder if these will be drying or dry looking or if they’ll truly live up to the promise of creating a smooth texture, filling in lines and keeping lips moist.

Hmm, another liquid lipstick, trend for sure.  Can’t wait to see how these and Shiseido compare.  These look like really wearable colors.

I’ll be curious to see them, but I don’t really find there’s anything on offer that isn’t covered by their Femme Rouge lipsticks. I wish they’d done a colour offering that was different, since I find, as lovely as their formulas are, they haven’t done a lot in the way of updates to their palette in a long time.
