So,today i'm gonna talk about some less costly, (only $1-$2 ) matte lipsticks. they are available at ebay & also few Bangladeshi online facebook pages.Well I'm talking about Menow Long lasting Lipglosses. Though they named glosses but actually they are not glosses .They are LIQUID,MATTE LIPSTICKS.
I have few colors from Menow Generation-2 lipglosses. I picked some nude to deep purple/brick color.
From top to bottom : shade-33
shade-26
shade-22
shade-18
shade-16
shade-14
shade-10
shade-03
shade-02
Shade-33 : One of my fav colors. its a deep wine or kind of a brick color. pretty similar to Lime crime -wicked. its not sticky that much ,glides on smoothly and its really pigmented.
look at the pic below
Shade-26 : Its a lovely matte pale orange color. looks quite natural on my lips. will be a good choice for fair toned girls.

shade-22: this is a dark purple/ berry shade. very much similar to Dose of colors-berry me. no not in quality..i'm just talking about the color.

shade-18: its my everyday go to lip shade. its a nude color. though its bit sticky . but I apply loose powder on top of this shade..to remove all the stickyness.
Shade-16: its a pale purplish color. will look good on fair skin.
Shade-03 : Its a pale pink/dusty rose color. anothe fav color. perfect for medium-fair skin.
Shade-02 : here comes my another fav . its a perfect matte pink,its neither too pinky nor too pale. just perfect. This pink is just for every skin tone.

SHADE - 14 & 10 : A big big no for these two. I hate these 2 colors. they are glittery and not opaques.shade 14 is milky orange color, looks pretty on hand swatch but it looks weird on lips.shade 10 is shinny dark peachy color..doesn't look good.

Ok, now the Good & bad sides
Good sides :
They are cheap
Enough pigmented
Pocket / travel friendly
Completely matte & kiss proof :p
Bad Sides:
Not a good choice for dry lips
After few hours it looks cracky
Few shades feel sticky
Not every color is pure matte or opaque.
Difficult to wipe it off :(
How to avoid bad sides?
Ok if you willing to buy these then you have try lip balms before applying these if you have dry lips.
If you feel sticky ,then apply a little loose powder on top of this lipsticks.
If you see that after few hours its becoming cracky ..then do not re-apply . you have to wipe off the lipstick ,then you can apply it again .
How to remove it perfectly?
Yea baby, you need to use oil for this. apply some oil on you lips, massage it for few seconds, then use a wet cotton ball to wipe it off. sometimes you need to re apply oil to remove it perfectly.
Thats all about these lipsticks. I have tried to answer everything .Hope this will help you.If you have any question ,feel free to ask me.
Take care.

another must have is no.08! and vaseline works better than oil to wipe it off within 2-3 swipes
