   Golden Rose is one of the most popular brands in my country so I was surprised to see that Golden Rose products are so underrated here
   Longstay Liquid Matte Lipsticks are one of my favorite liquid matte lipsticks.they’re priced 4.5$ here (3$ in special offers and sales) and definitely worth more than that
   I like their packaging as they’re not too tall and I can easily carry them in my makeup pouch.they have a chocolate scent which I don’t like at all(very similar to Essence Liquid Matte Lipstick’s scent) but fortunately I can’t smell it anymore after putting it on my lips
   On it’s packaging it claims to be kiss proof,super longlasting,doesn’t transfer,full coverage and matte finish.it delivers all of it’s claims.When first applied it has a liquid texture,I have to wait for 1-2 minutes for it to dry down,after that it doesn’t transform at all.it has a totally matte and dry finish which I like a lot.also it is very long lasting.it fades a bit from inner parts of my lips after hours of wearing it and eating and drinking but other that survives all the day,even throughout sleeping and washing my face!
   It’s also very pigmented and comes in 30 shades as far as I know and I love every single one of them! I know every shade can’t look good on a person but they actually do.I have ten shades right now(4,8,10,15,17,19,20,21,23,24)and I can’t wait to try the other ones.my favorite and most complemented shade is 24 which is a medium to dark brown with a slight Rose Taupe undertone.it has cold undertone and looks very sexy as well as being suitable for day wear too, it’s very close to shade 23 but 23 has more pink/Mauve undertone(I also love that one)
   my second favorite is number 15 which is a dark burgundy.shades 5,12,26 may look similar in swatches but 12 has more red undertone and 5 and 26 are more on the purple side.but shade 15 is a great blend of red,purple and brown.too bold to use it daily but great for night events
   Another favorite is shade 10.I was almost sure that blindbuying it would be a mistake as it looked very pale in swatches but surprisingly it looks awesome on me.I don’t know how to describe the color.it’s like a mixture of lilac mauve and grayish taupe,a cold,nude and unique shade.if you have fair and cold skintone and very light pinkish/mauve/purple blonde hair make sure to give it a try
   Now about the CONs:
   On it’s packaging it says: creamy and smooth texture,contains vitamin E and avocado oil but it’s not very smooth on lips.it can look patchy sometimes and it also dries lips,not severly but there’s a slight dry feeling whenever I wear them.I will still give it 5 lippies because this problem is solvable by using SOS lip balm every night and a home made lip scrub every day
   Now to summarize:
   PROs
   ✔Totally matte finish
   ✔good pigmentation
   ✔good coverage
   ✔low price
   ✔having various,beautiful shades
   ✔not transferring at all,not coloring teeth or around mouth
   ✔having great longevity
   ✔being paraben free

   CONs:
   ✔having strong scent
   ✔drying lips
   ✔looking a bit patchy sometimes specially when I reapply it afterva

   Very disappointing ! I bought the shades 12 -brown with a subtle hint of cherry, and 19 -dark warm pink with caramel and brick tones. both of them are beautiful,very pigmented and matte. but they are smudgy and fade quickly and unevenly and extremely drying, my lips were so dry and cracked a few hours after application it took several days to heal. after a few days i gave them another try and same thing happened. had to throw them away
