Lively
Makeup Geek Lively Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, though not quite opaque, that covered the lips with even, smooth color. The consistency had a velvety feel to it, where it was creamy without feeling wet, and glided across the lips without tugging or dragging. This shade wore well for five hours and was a touch drying.

Risque
Makeup Geek Risque Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep burgundy with warm, red undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that covered fairly evenly, but I did notice some of the color gathered in my deeper lip lines. The texture was somewhat smooth but deposited small grains of color for the first two uses, while subsequent swipes of the color seemed smoother and better mixed. On me, it was lightly drying over the six hours it lasted.

Saucy
Makeup Geek Saucy Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep, rusty copper with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a really smooth, creamy consistency that wasn’t thick but wasn’t too thin either, so it did not feel clingy or sink easily into my lip lines. It had rich, opaque color payoff that went on evenly. This shade lasted for six hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

I like Lively quite a bit, but already have Eggplant 🙂
Perfect 😀
Lively looks so pretty!
It does!
Saucy and Risque look really unique and undupeable! Love that the quality is top notch and pigmentation is pretty good!
Saucy is definitely your color!!
I bought Lively but decided against Saucy because I was positive I had a dupe. I own Mama so there you go! I probably will eventually by Saucy because it looks SO fabulous on you, Christine!
These sure are pretty! Of course, I am most taken by Risque, but feel like I’ve got enough similar shades to fit the bill. But oddly, if I did buy one, it would probably be Lively. It doesn’t look like anything I own, or at least I don’t think so!
I was just checking out Lively then I took a look at the dupe list. Yeah I have Bad Habit, Mauve It and Eggplant. I think I have this shade covered!
I really like Saucy! ‘Aptly named for sure. 🙂
I love Lively but since it is a color I love I have three of the dupes. Very pretty though and looks amazing on you Christine. You were born to do this blog. You have such beautiful skin, eye shape and perfect lips. Everything looks amazing on you. Hope you had lovely holidays and that 2017 is a great year for makeup and Temptalia!!
I like all three shades!!!! Wow!!! ahaha.
Lively is so pretty, too bad it’s drying!
I love the Saucy shade, but not the matte finish. It’s a real autumnal colour.
Lively is very pretty, I have liked most of the dupes as well. Especially Bite’s Eggplant & Barberry.
