Couple of weekends ago, July 2017, I visited Sephora.
While looking around, I saw their newest Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip 2017. I wasn't planning on getting it because I hate that they changed from two full-size to one. Then I looked inside to see what were given and I've been wanting to try a lot of these. For that reason, I decided to get it. The first one I bought was Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lips 2016. I already reviewed Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick in Stepping Out and Too Faced Melted Liquified Lipstick in Chihuahua. The second one is Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip 2017. I already reviewed Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Honeycomb and Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Comfort Matte in 1993. The third one Sephora Favorites Give Me Summer Lips 2017 from Sephora inside JCPenny. I already reviewed Urban Decay Vice Liquid Lipstick Comfort Matte in Trivial.

Thoughts: I first heard about this lip product from Influenster when I got accepted to their virtualvox (no box delivered to my place). When it comes to liquid lipsticks, I'm always intrigued.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's a slight scent. It's so light I cannot distinguish the smell. Secondly, I like the packaging. It's simple and the bow design matches their polishes. I don't know if the bow is their signature logo but I do see it everywhere. If it is, it's a cute logo. With that said, it's sturdy and well-made. I don't see any scratches, finger marks, and so on. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a slight squeeze when I open/close the top. I cannot see it open or close unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. The doe foot applicator is nice. It definitely does not fit with the typical liquid lip products. It's slated on the tip but on both sides. When you look at the shape it has the typical curve with a sharp tip that you find in a lot of liquid lip products. The tip of the doe foot applicator makes it easy to outline the lips and the slanted flat tip makes it good to fill the remaining. Third, the consistency is on the mousy side. It doesn't feel like a typical liquid lipstick. It feels like a lot of liquid matte lip products that isn't transfer-proof. If you are looking for transfer-proof lip product, this isn't it. With that said, it goes on smoothly and does not tug on the lips. At first it's applies slight shiny but dries matte within seconds. Since it doesn't fall in-between the lips like liquid lipsticks, you don't have to worry about the thick lines. It does show some fine lines. Some people might not like the fine lines but I actually do. I think it shows the uniqueness of the lips. Fourth, the color is pretty. If I apply thickly, the color is more on the gray side. With a thin layer, it's more a pinkish-purple nude like the pictures above. It's a great fall color. Pigment-wise I was impressed. It's not the most pigmented but it is up there. Lastly, it lasted until I ate/drank. Since I wipe my mouth after each meal, the color did not last at all. It's comfortable and did not dry out my lips. I did not see any white residue in the center of the lips from dryness. I do like the product but I'm still indecisive about the color. It's pretty but it doesn't match my skin too well.
