wet n wild Soft Blur Matte Lipstick, Velvety Semi-Sheer Buildable Color, Soft Matte Powdery Finish, Comfortable Wear, Vegan & Cruelty-Free – Nude for Love

Blurred Red
Nice, soft texture soft on the lips, good applicator with lots of product, and the blur effect is definitely there. A clever idea, for reds especially, because imo reds only look good with very precise application with a liner and a lot of touch-ups, and since I can’t be bothered with that, I rarely wear red lips. Blotting in layers can give this effect, but you often end up more pink or orange instead of red, but this gives you a blotted look with a more true color. It looks messy in close-up photography, which is why I didn’t include a pic, but just looking with human eyes, it looks great. I will try some of the other shades, but I wish I there were more red shades. I might shoot off an email to wet n wild suggesting more reds in this formula, because it’s that good.

Really like these
I bought Bali Blossom first, wore it to work all night and then immediately ordered Little Red Rosette.These are somewhere between a lipstick and lip balm without any shine. They remind me of Glossier’s first iteration of Generation G.They produce a subtle wash of color that is blurring and soft but is buildable to a bright pop of color.With any matte lip color, these can enhance the look of dryness so I do recommend doing a lip scrub beforehand and/or applying a moisturizing lip balm and let sit for a bit before wiping off and applying. That being said, I didn’t find the formula drying in of itself. It’s a lot more comfortable than liquid mattes or other blurring lip products I’ve tried.The wear is pretty decent. They aren’t fade proof or budge proof, but I only had to reapply maybe twice throughout my shift, which is pretty decent for a 9 hour serving shift where I’m constantly talking, drinking from my water bottle, snacking to keep up my energy, drinking coffee etc. it does start to slip if you eat anything greasy, just like a liquid matte formula does.Came off easily when washing my face with my double cleanse method with using cleansing oil first to remove makeup.All in all for the price point these are great. I will say the colors online aren’t entirely accurately represented but I love the colors.

Beautiful blur
100% better than Bisou Balm by Violette_FR! Bisou Balm dries my lips out so much that they actually hurt in a few hours. Also, Bisou Balm is $29.00 per tube (0.08oz / 2.5g), and the Soft Blur Matte Lipstick is typically under $5.00 (0.11oz / 3.15g)! The colors are similar, but Soft Blur has more pigment (just blot once or twice, perfectly duped). They even smell similar, but Bisou Balm has a stronger scent. The colors in my swatch photo are: Top Left: Bisou Balm Sucette, Bottom Left: Soft Blur in Homecoming Queen. Top Right: Bisou Balm Amour Fou, Bottom Right: Little Red Rosette. For the price, Soft Blur Matte Lipsticks are a VERY good dupe and you can afford to try all the colors. Yes, my Homecoming Queen lipstick bullet was loose, but I just pushed it back in while putting it on and it’s been fine ever since. I love them so much I’ve already bought backups to store!

Very matte.
The color was very true and nice. It is a matte formulation so it applies dryly. I had to put a lipstick over top to smooth it out. It seemed to cake a little after a half hour. It does stay on Honestly, it’s very inexpensive and you get what you pay for with quality. It will last a while because I use it as a base rather than my full color.
