Comments
RedElmoPaint: I agree with Sara, Jeffree Star Cosmetics is a great liquid lipstick..
Sara: Jeffree Star Cosmetics makes the perfect matted liquid lip
MissMimi: They didn't add Colour pop. Inexpensive and stays on all day
Julie: Agreed, MissMimi. I was surprised they didn't include it here. I wish they had included more variety. Not everyone can spend $20 on a lipstick.
Magicbanana123: So prettyyy but so expensiveee
