Lips as smooth as a velvet dream with Bbia Lipsticks-Review & Swatches

With the winters approaching, all I can dream is of velvety blankets, velvet chocolates and yes velvet finish Lipsticks.  Yes, you heard me right. Those velvety soft textured creamy Lipsticks that leave every one wondering behind you! Well tried many that claim the same, but this time I have hit a jackpot.

Bbia Velvet Lipstick- shade 03 & 01

I have always been a fan of how subtle Korean cosmetics are. Being said that, these Lipsticks are the total opposite of subtle.  Coming in red demi matter finish square tubes, these are an eye candy.  The packaging is prone to finger prints and that might become obvious if not cleaned properly after every usage.  The Lipsticks come with number tag below with  Korean written on it (well obviously, duhhh)so its incomprehensible to non-Korean speaking folk. Now you have to  remember the number for the  color or else you will be picking up the wrong one every time (like me). Apart from that, the feel is luxurious, once applied it turns into a velvety matte finish. 
The staying time is amazing, put it up in the morning and wipe off at the evening, it stays there  budge proof, but if you eat something oily or have the habit of rubbing and smacking your  lips, it fades away evenly.  It stays a good 6-8 hours and then fades leaving behind an even tint to the lips. The feel is soft, no something heavy sitting atop of your lips making you uncomfortable. To be honest I like the feel so much I just keep on rubbing my lips all the time, making it fade away faster.

The formula is neither dry nor too.much hydrating. So if you have dry /chapped lips, do moisturize and scrub them well before application.

Shade 03: A bright shocking Pink with cool undertones.
