[REVIEW] Swatches of the MARY KAY PLAY AT

Hey guys! I have always wanted to find myself the perfect matte liquid, and I finally I think i found one that doesnt dry out my lips! I usually have a love and hate relationship with matte liquids cause its easy to control during application, but most lip liquids can be very drying for the lips, and in my case, its gets flaky by the end of the day. The MARY KAY Play At was a show stealer for me since they claim that its non caking/craking which thus leads me to get the whole set of six shades!

PACKAGING & CONTENT

Getting into details, each tube of Mary Kay At Play consist of 6.5g liquid and comes in a trendy arcylic tube. It comes with the lip applicator which easily glides onto the lips, and I actually notice that the lip applicator has been uniquely created to avoid the caking effect. (Generally speaking, it glides evenly). It claims to control up to 8 hours of oil and shine while leaving your lips feeling comfortable without hints of grease. With 6 trendy shades to suit different moods, let's find out which shade suits me most! Checkout my video featuring shade of Pink It Over, Taupe That, Neon Nectarine, True Red, Bold Pink, and Vivid Violet.

TRIED & TESTED! 

So I've been wearing all different shades for the past week and I have to agree that it feels extremely lightweight on the lips AND the best part, it doesn't make my lips crack by the end of the day! If you think the shades are too intense, you can always apply the liquid starting from the middle of your lips, and gently dab with your fingers for that natural Korean lip tint effect! This also means the formulation is flexible giving you the choice to create buildable coverages too. I gotta admit that im surprised that all the 6 shades suit my skin tone pretty well, won't you agree? Hehe

AFTER 12 HOURS

Also, if you're wondering on how well it last, here is proof! I decided to test it out by wearing one shade from 8am all the way to 8pm, and surprisingly, my lips still look great! The reason for this is because its transfer-resistant, meaning it won't stick to your cup of coffee in the morning when you're enjoying it. hehe. During application, it dries pretty quickly, making it a plus point cause im an impatient person. hehe. Also, it claims to not rub off, but if pressure is applied, it obviously rubs off very slightly.

VERDICT

As a verdict, I would say that its amazing as a matte lip liquid. I haven't exactly found one that would make my lips look moist without the need of moisturizing a night before, but this seems to be my answer! At only RM39 each, I would conclude that it's really reasonable for the quality that im getting. Would I repurchase? It's a definite YES! Loving the formulation and this is currently my everyday matte lip liquid at the moment. Most of my friends are saying that Vivid Violet suits me the most. What do you think? Hehe
