Thanks for these comparisons; you're so right, seeing them side-by-side on the lips is so much more helpful. I also enjoy that you put the website photos next to the lip swatches. It is wild how different they are, even accounting to differences in display configurations, lighting, etc. After having bought a few lip colours that look nothing like the website images, I've come to completely ignore her product photos. They are so far off. Anyway, I'm really fair-skinned, so everything looks much darker on me. And Enchantment looks straight up pink, not red at all, on me. I think it's fair that you spent a bit of time talking about the breakage. It's not a one-off, it's clearly a problem with this line (I've seen so many comments about it over the years). I know Lisa has said it's because of the saturation of the pigments, so it must be a trade off between colour intensity and structural integrity, but I feel like if it was any other brand people wouldn't forgive it so easily. These are not inexpensive products. I know what you mean when you say you'd feel weird about asking customer service for a replacement of an older product, but if the breakage makes it difficult for you to use and get value out of a product for which you've paid good money, then why not. I would add up the cost of all the lipsticks that have broken with little to no use and see if you're cool with that. Don't forget that the actual cost of the product for them is doubtless a lot less than the retail price you've paid, so you're not going to be bankrupting them if they send you a few replacements. Finally, a suggestion for the hand swatches: It would be easier for the viewer to get the most out of the comparisons if you did a vertical stripe of the main lipstick you are discussing, then horizontal ones perpendicular to it for the comparisons. Sorry for the essay, and thanks for your videos. I hope you get more subscribers and eventually do get paid for this!

Always love your LE reviews Aijing. They are so detailed and organized. It's also super helpful cause you are right, they photos on the website are so far off in real life. Really appreciate this. Love your review of the eyeshadow palettes too ^_^ Btw, I have some velvets break on me too. I asked them about the best way to store them to avoid it and they were so nice in replacing it even tho I told them I bought them more than 6 months ago already. I have another one broke again. But I too feel uncomfortable telling them about it again and them sending a replacement. I just hope they fix it in the future cause it doesn't feel nice to apply lipstick with a wobbly bullet. I also get OCD to see all the smudges inside the lipstick case :/ Lastly, I wonder how Strawberry Shock will compare with Velvet Enchantment.

More and more of my velvets break. Some REALLY early on, from just swiping on my lips/hand the first time, others from getting too warm (inside my jeans pocket) and fragile. Haven't asked for new ones, because it keeps happening to new purchases. Also not experiencing all of the staying power that some people praise. It stays on (outer) dryer lip areas, but disappears on (inner) softer and more hydrated parts during the day and DO NOT stick after bein re-applied to those latter areas.

The breakage is such a pain. In terms of staying power, they definitely start wearing off in the inner parts first but I really do find them to be quite long-lasting! Everyone’s lips are different too though I guess, just like skin!

Hey there!! Thaaaank you for all these videos! I think I will place and order for a few shades + the new lipstick/balm formula! I have another question, which shade of the marc jacobs bronzer did you use for this makeup? Aaand do you think it has sense to buy rose official AND rain? Thanl you!!
@Aijingaling6 ай бұрын
I used tan-tastic! o!mega bronze. It’s such a good bronzer, but I don’t know if Marc Jacobs beauty is coming back and whether the formula and shade will be the same if they do come back ☹️ So I think you can definitely have both but go by your own needs and budget, no point in wasting money for sure! So I would just think about which formula you think you’d prefer (rose official being the lucent lip colour formula, shiny and more balmy), and in terms of colour, the two are definitely very very similar. Rain blotted on with a balm on top is almost identical BUT it is brighter in tone, I feel it lifts the skin more. Rose official is more of a muted mauve pink which makes it more wearable for everyday. I love both and don’t regret having both ❤️

@Aijingaling2 жыл бұрын
I mean that I find that I watch her videos and see the colour on her lips, then I put it on my lips and the shade appears darker on my lips. E.g. velvet fawn, looks light a light nude on her but looks more like a medium tone nude on me. Does that make sense? The shade pompadour is nothing like the website for sure. I do think the shades has more brightness and 'life' (don't know if that makes sense) IRL. The website pictures make them look more muted somehow and a touch darker IMO. I sit in front of the window and has two light boxes each side to brighten more on dark days. Would it help if I took some photos of the new colours on my phone unedited in front of the window and in the shadow and put it on the community tab? :)

I took a chance on Cinnabar just for the hell of it, and it's incredibly dark on me, but still really easy for me to wear, but it looks awful on my sister and she's just only one foundation shade darker.
