Menow Longlasting Liquid Lipstick

There was a time when these were all over Youtube and all over beauty blogs. I know the hype has died but I recently bought these liquid lipsticks off Aliexpress out of curiosity. The name might fool you because these are definitely NOT glossy, but extremely matte! The shades I got are: 18, 22, 26, 32, 33 (swatches below).

ON THE TOPIC OF ALIEXPRESS...
Now you might think that ordering from a cheap Chinese site might be shady; but from my short experience, everything is OK as long as you read the customer feedback received by the seller. Expiration date is 2020 (I ordered in 2016), nothing came broken or damaged. The only problem I noticed is that the tubes aren't full (they're about half way filled).
The (free) shipping was OK: about 1 week to the capital - Bucharest and 4 f-ing weeks to my city - Iași! This says a lot about Romanian public postal services! If you don't want to wait forever for your package, ditch the free shipping and pay for faster and more professional transport.
You do not pay anything extra when picking up your packet (unless you're late to pick it up and they tax you for storage).

Effect: Color-changing Type: Lipstick Advantage: Waterproof / Water-Resistant The characteristics of this lipstick is Non-stick cup, no rub off, velvet matte surface, use Olive oil or discharge makeup oil to discharge.

Great Google Translate English over there, eh? :)

There is no "color-changing" involved as far as I have seen, but the other characteristics are pretty true.

Would I buy this product again? Mmm, no. I did not like them very much. It was my very first experience with matte lip products... It's much easier to re-apply a creamy lipstick than these matte horrors.
