Today is the last part of my\u00a0Makeup Geek<\/a>\u00a0lipsticks reviews! Let’s finally talk about the\u00a0Plush Cr\u00e8me<\/a>\u00a0liquid lipsticks.\u00a0Did this formula finally manage to convince me?<\/h2>\n

I apologize in advance if you already read this paragraph twice, but I just want to remind you that\u00a0Makeup Geek<\/strong>\u00a0released 3\u00a0types of lipsticks at the end of 2016:
\n\u2013 the Iconic Lipsticks<\/strong><\/a>: classic lipsticks in a\u00a0tube, which exist in 2 finishes (matte and shine): I did a review about them here<\/a>,
\n\u2013 the Plush Matte<\/strong><\/a>: liquid lipsticks with a matte finish: my review is here<\/a>,
\n\u2013 the Plush Creme<\/strong><\/a>: liquid lipsticks with a cream finish.<\/p>\n

As I said in my first review, at first, I had a hard time to understand the difference\u00a0between\u00a0the Plush Matte and the Plush Cr\u00e8me<\/strong>. Indeed, their texture is quite close, and they’re both liquid lipsticks. They’re also non-transfer-free, they’re in the same kind of packaging: a\u00a0tube, with the same flat mousse applicator.
\nTheir main difference is the finish<\/strong>: matte for the Plush Matte (you didn’t see that coming, did you? wink<\/span> ) and satin\/ cream for Plush Cr\u00e8me. (The cream version is also more comfortable, obviously)
\nAnother thing: the capacity of the Plush Cr\u00e8me is more important than the Plush Matte ones (3ml in the Cream against 1.8ml in the Matte version). It’s still not a very generous product, but at least, it’s a little better! wink<\/span> <\/p>\n

So now, let’s focus on these Plush Cr\u00e8me<\/strong> liquid lipsticks! smile<\/span> <\/p>\n

Makeup Geek Plush Cr\u00e8me liquid lipsticks, presentation:<\/h3>\n
\"Makeup<\/a><\/div>\n

What the brand says about them:<\/p>\n

“A cross between a cream and mousse, this unique formula sits on top of the lips for a soft, \u201cplush\u201d feel. A wide variety of colors crafted in a smooth creme finish, you\u2019re sure to find a highly pigmented shade you love!
\nAll our Plush Mattes are cruelty-free and vegan
\nThese lip mattes are Talc and Paraben-Free”
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Plush Cr\u00e8me<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0liquid lipsticks with a satin finish<\/strong>. On me, the texture changes and mattifies slightly to become a kind of lip stain after a few hours. The pigmentation remains a long time on the lips, but the creamy texture fades after a few hours.<\/p>\n

The Plush Cr\u00e8me are not really transfer-free<\/strong>, they stay creamy<\/strong> on the lips. So the brightest or darkest shades are a little bit high maintenance: they can stain, like any well-pigmented lipstick with this type of finish.<\/p>\n

There are 10 shades<\/strong> in total in the range, and they retail for $14<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I chose 2 shades: Old Soul<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Trophy Wife<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Makeup Geek Plush Cr\u00e8me liquid lipsticks, my test and thoughts:<\/h3>\n
\"Makeup<\/a><\/div>\n

–\u00a0Packaging: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Like the matte version, it’s a\u00a0pretty plastic tube with a metallic rose-gold\/ gunmetal cap<\/strong> with the logo of Makeup Geek embossed on the top. It’s also the same mousse applicator which has a flat shape. It’s precise, and I don’t need a lip pencil with it.<\/p>\n

The size of the Plush Cr\u00e8me tube is larger than the tiny Plush Matte lipsticks. Here, the capacity of the product is 3ml<\/strong>. It’s still a little bit smaller than the average equivalent products in other brands, but hey, it’s always better than the matte version. wink<\/span> <\/p>\n

– Texture and feeling on the lips:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The texture of this lipstick is described by the brand as between a\u00a0cream and a foam. It’s a pretty accurate description. The texture is creamier than the Plush Matte lipsticks, which I found a little too dry.<\/p>\n

The feeling on the lips is quite comfortable<\/strong>. They remain rather creamy, never dry completely on the lips and leaves the lips very supple when you wear them.<\/p>\n

– Finish:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The finish is as its name suggests a cream\/ satin finish<\/strong>. It gives a nice volume to the lips and it’s not too shiny. On me, this finish tends to become semi-matte over the hours and gradually turns into a “lip stain” with just the pigments without having any remaining texture on the lips after 4-5 hours.<\/p>\n

– Scent: <\/strong><\/p>\n

They smell slightly like vanilla lemon, it’s very light and subtle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

– Pigmentation and coverage:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are well pigmented and opaque<\/strong> on the lips.
\nWith Trophy Wife, though, I have to be careful because the applicator tends to “move” the formula when I applied it. The result on the lips was not very even at first. I think it’s because of the foam texture which demands a little bit of practice\u00a0at the beginning. However, when you learn how to apply it correctly, \u00a0you can get a nice coverage on the lips.<\/p>\n

\"Makeup<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0– Color range:<\/strong><\/p>\n

10 colors<\/strong>\u00a0in the range and unfortunately I have the same problem as I had with the Iconic Lipsticks<\/a> and Plush Matte<\/a>, I only like 2 out of 10. I like, the ones I ordered lol
\nSame things: I’m not a fan of these dull shades and all the purple\/ grayish colors that I personally don’t find flattering at all. I think it’s a proven fact now: Marlena and I don’t share the same taste in lipstick colors! wink<\/span> <\/p>\n

– Application:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I explained above, the texture cream\/ mousse requires a little practice<\/strong> at first, but I really like the applicator, which allows me\u00a0to draw a sharp lip contour.<\/p>\n

– Lasting Power:<\/strong><\/p>\n

They last about 4-5 hours<\/strong> on me. It’s an average lasting power.
\nThey evolve and fade on the lips over the hours but leave a stain on the lips. The texture disappears and only the pigments remain. They don’t crumble, I find that they “age” better on the lips than the matte version.<\/p>\n

– Value for money: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Makeup Geek Plush Cr\u00e8me\u00a0retail for $14<\/strong>.
\nThe value for money is OK<\/strong> as I like the formula and the packaging. If the color range could be wider with prettier shades, I would be thrilled! wink<\/span> <\/p>\n

Makeup Geek Plush Cr\u00e8me liquid lipsticks, the colors:<\/h3>\n
\"Makeup<\/a><\/div>\n

– Old Soul<\/a><\/strong>: I was a little bit confused with this shade at the start. It’s a purple pink almost lilac<\/strong> and with a grayish<\/strong> undertone. On me, this color only works if I pair it with a warm eye makeup look. Otherwise, the gray-lilac comes out too much and I look a little bit sick. But with an eye makeup in gold, copper or bronze tones, it works very well and balances the look. I think this color would probably more flattering on a medium to dark skin tone.<\/p>\n

– Trophy Wife<\/a><\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0a stunning pinky red, like a candy apple red<\/strong>. It’s so bright, it’s almost neon, I love the glow it gives to the face. It’s without a doubt my favorite color of this range!<\/p>\n

* However, I must add that I really dislike its name: Trophy Wife. It’s such a bad name! I was laughing when I was editing my lip swatches photos, with the word “Trophy Wife” written next to my face! Lol (last week, same story with the word Cougar ah ah ah) (Marlena,\u00a0can you please stop now with these cheesy\/ awkward lipstick names? Thank you! wink<\/span> )<\/p>\n

Finally, here are the swatches:<\/h3>\n

In summary:<\/h3>\n

[wprs-pros][wprs-cons]<\/p>\n

Overall, I find the formula of these Plush Cr\u00e8me lipsticks better than their matte version and I’m quite happy with the colors I chose. Too bad that I’m not attracted to the rest of the colors. Hopefully, Marlena will decide to release other colors less grayish and dull, like some pretty nudes and flattering fresh shades for Spring! wink<\/span> <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Plush Cr\u00e8me<\/strong>\u00a0lipsticks are available on\u00a0Makeup Geek website<\/a>\u00a0for $14<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And you, did you know the Makeup Geek Plush Cr\u00e8me liquid lipsticks?\u00a0Which colors do you like in the range?<\/h3>\n
