Hey there Beautiful! I am here to review the most raved about as of the moment the liquid to matte finish LA Splash Lip Couture Liquid Lipstick in Innocent Vixen. Have you ever tried this liquid lipstick and thought how the magic happen? Liquid to matte? Just like those ice creams which is dipped into a chocolate liquid and turns into a crunchy chocolate? Here's the newest addition to the addiction of makeup lovers. Almost all makeup brands are coming out with their very own liquid lipsticks. Well then you are here it means you want to know about this one, stay reading for the in depth review;
Shown above are the available shades for the "Lip Couture" collection, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that there are different collection, there are the "Smitten" ones with the magenta packaging, the "Studio Shine" in the silver packaging, and this one the "Lip Couture" in the gold packaging. I am not sure what the difference is because I haven't tried the others yet. But as I read reviews, they say that they are all just the same formula but just different collection names and packaging.
The Claims:
Lip Couture's rich waterproof shades will leave a velvety, matte finish that never transfers. Experiment with our boldest high pigmented shades -- from neutral to solid black. With its innovative formula that glides on as liquid and dries matte, you are sure to turn heads! Use the Lip Couture Remover to effortlessly remove the lipstick and leave your lips super moisturized and cushiony soft.

Here is the packaging of the LA Splash Lip Couture in Innocent Vixen, the liquid lipstick is sporting a gold cover which is very classy to look at. It has a flat doe foot applicator which is very effective for the type of product it contains. It was really an easy application because of the flat applicator. The container will give you at least 3ml product which is really a lot because this does not come off easily and will not need touch up.
The shade innocent vixen as you can see above gives a light brown with a peach undertone. BUT WAIT! The swatch color in my arms is very different from the swatch on my lips which you can see in the next photo. This one really set me off because as I swatch it on my am I was very in love with it. This is the perfect shade I am looking for. The subtle dusty rose peachy lips which looks just natural on the lips. But as you can see on the next photo, I was very disappointed because it looked just as if I put concealer on my lips and just looked dead.
LIP SWATCH:
THE LOOK:
PROS:
- There are a variety of shades to choose from, but beware of the photo on their website as it really has a different color to it in actual. Don't be fooled just like me, cause I bought mine online and just based the color on their chart. I was fooled. (lol)
- It really stay true to its claims that it will really last long and it is touch up proof. The product stays on the lips the whole day!
- The formula of this one is not that liquid and not so mousse-y which really blends.
- You can apply many coats of it as you like! I have tied other liquid lipsticks and tent to be disappointed due to the color, some of the liquid lipsticks are not buildable and tends to get patchy. But this one is buildable!
- The flat doe foot applicator gave it another star because it really helped a lot in the application!
- The product really does not transfer or bleed.
CONS:
- CRUMBLES! Yes it really is long wearing but as you can see above the inner part of the lips, it crumbles and tend to be removed. Just like the claims for the Anastasia Liquid Lipstick in 'Pure Hollywood" that gives a white halo thing in the inner lips, but for this one the crumbling is soo bad! Well, you can touch up the inner part if you like and it is not that noticeable.
- I was disappointed too because of it's foul smell. This smells like chemicals placed into a tube. If only they gave it a scent it would be tolerable. But the smell wears off in time.
- As it claims that it is long wearing, the problem I encountered with this one is that it really is hard to remove, It needs an oil-based makeup remover to be able to remove the lipstick thoroughly. Yes I know everybody has makeup removers, but in case of emergency you should have a handy oil-based makeup remover just in-case the lipstick gets crazy looking.
- As it turns matte, if your lips is not that full looking, it will rest into the fine lines of your lips (see the photo above). Which is for me a little irritating because as I encountered, you can really see the product crack into my lips.
- I'll be honest, the last con is that it is drying in the lips. It it a matte finish and claims it is lightweight but you will still feel that you have a little cement on your lips.
THE VERDICT:
I do not hate this product, and I do not love it either, maybe I just got the bad shade? I will probably use this on occasions that I feel the need to use a touch up proof lipstick. Thanks for taking time to read my review for this product. If ever I got another one and think that it has a different formula than this one, I'll let you know!
