Review: Model Co Lip Lacquer Lip Gloss in Morocco

I received this gorgeous lip gloss from my recent Lust Have It! Pack.

I've previously had some relatively negative experience with Model Co and their product quality. I picked the shade Morocco, it was such a gorgeous shade, I couldn't resist and dug into it.

Product Claim (from Model Co's website):

• Pigment-dense, long-lasting lip colour.
• Non-sticky formula with a vivid colour tint.
• Slim and slender; the ideal handbag staple.
• Hydrating, all-day moisture

 Price: $27 AUD



My Verdict:

• Perfectly glossy, this would be a great top up on already coloured lips. This shade is very close to my natural lip colour, instead of a colour boost, it gave me a natural shine. The gloss itself is quite sheer, you won't really get a real colour pay off by wearing it on it's own.
  
• Not really sticky. Sticky is such an arbitrary term ... this gloss is sticky in the sense that my hair will get stuck on my lips if the wind blows the wrong way, but it's won't seal my lips together or form obscure lines of horizontal gloss goo when I snap my lips. Overall, a thumbs up. EDIT: Over time, this lip gloss became unbearably sticky and I had to throw it out.
• My lips did remain hydrated for most of the wear, I didn't experience any chapped lips phenomena as I had with a few drug store glosses.
• The wand of the gloss is flat. This is a hidden bonus, it allows easy and quick applications of the gloss on your lips.
• Reapplication after approximately 2-2.5 hours.

Model Co Fibre Lash Review

I've been working @ the Model Co. counter all this week...

It was pretty quite today and so the counter manager decided to spend 2hrs giving me a full on make over at work! I didn't have anything but mascara on today.

and i didn't have much of a good impression on model co..

But here's something that I thought a lot of asian girls would like.
MODEL CO. FIBRE LASH!
Purpose: to give you instant natural looking lash extension

How to use:

1. apply extension mascara first, apply a generous amount on your lashes.

2. apply the lash fibers, they are like little fluff, coat it on top of the extension mascara.

3. then coat another layer of extension mascara on top of the lash fiber.

this would work best with model co's heated lash curler wand.. since if you use a normal curler.. it'll just end up sticking off.




Here's what my lashes ended up looking like.. (only top lashes were coated)

It looks very natural.. my normal lashes are long-ish (see purple eyeliner tut for my natural lashes), so this just gave me the false eyelash effect. My boyfriend have long black and curled lashes like these naturally! haha i'm jealous!

She also decided to do my whole face..

here's what she used for the base:

hydrated me with clinique's moisture surge

Model Co Miracle Veil-- It's a green fluid that minimise redness.. work kinda like a primer

Fluidsplash 3 in 1 foundation- i was a little uncertain about this because i NEVER EVER cover my whole face with foundation.. and i would NEVER EVER EVER EVER cover my wholeface with LIQUID foundation... but this is a moisturiser (50%water), a foundation and has a concealer on the lid. very versatile. The only thing i don't like about this is the smell.. it's TERRIBLE.. i can't stand the synthetic smell!
she also applied 3 neutral shimmer toned eyeshadow and a pink blush.... OHHH and she lined my lips and applied gloss.. but i had to rub it off for dinner! Oh and i dislike the gloss as well.. it was a plasticy kinda taste... and sticky..
