Girlactik has released five more shades (Playful, Luxe, Blossom, Rustik, Spice) this year. Rustik and Blossom are my favorite from these new shades. The formula hasn’t changed a bit from their OGs, let’s say: Allure, Demure, and Starlet — which are the first among five OG shades of Girlactik Matte Lip Paints.

✨ Overview

I firstly knew Girlactik about more than 3 years ago, along with LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss (not sure which came first), and because of Girlactik I fell in love with liquid lipsticks until today. At that time, Girlactik was sold about 360,000-380,000 IDR, which is very expensive (now you know I am not really into ABH’s liquid lipsticks). Starlet, Allure, and Demure was my first pick of Girlactik, and I DID NOT REGRET buying them. Why?

Girlactik Matte Lip Paint weight is more than double of most liquid lipsticks in your drawer, 7,5ml. As comparison: Anastasia Beverly Hills’ liquid lipsticks: 3,2ml, Kylie Matte Liquid Lipsticks: 3,25ml. KVD: 6,6ml, JSC: 5,6ml, OFRA: 6ml.

Girlactik Matte Lip Paint has creamy formula, when it sets to matte within seconds, it has minimal transfer. It’s easy to remove effortlessly by oil-based makeup remover. Unfortunately, Iconic has medium coverage compared to the others, I don’t know why. Stellar, however, no matter how much I fancy the name and the color ( :( ) the formula is not so good. I mean, Stellar dries to more drying, transferproof matte — which is not Girlactik’s famous formula — and it’s painfully streaky. This also applies on Seductive. *sigh*

Girlactik has sophisticated yet simple logo and writings on the tube.

Girlactik has so many warm skinned-friendly shades. Not to mention it has wide range of nude colors – mostly are brown-based. Probably I’ll just say they are all nudes except 4 shades: iconic, flirtatious, seductive, stellar, and rustik.

The matte lip paints smell soooo amazingly good!

Girlactik has two different kind of tube’s graphics (see below!) Both are originally made by Girlactik so don’t worry.

✨ Formula, Pigmentation, Color

The formula is so creamy and the scent is like you favorite red velvet cake. Color consistency and pigmentation is also amazing, except Stellar. Stellar is a bit patchy and uneven in the first layer but as a matter of fact, buildable. You can layer it up when it’s still wet or dry. The color range is, in my opinion, ‘too safe’ and very everyday-colors. Well that was before Girlactik launched Seductive and Stellar, though. Now I really think that Girlactik can once again can be such a tough contender to other high-end liquid lipstick products by creating bolder and more unique colors. Way to go, Girlactik!

✨ Longevity

You can expect these Girlactik Matte Lip Paints to stay for 4-5 hours, with full touch up after eating greasy foods. Again, I am more comfortable with liquid lipsticks that don’t last too long on my lips or worse, so hard to clean. And also, I have no problem with touching up! ;)
