Boe Beauty - Matte Lip Cream #AffordableBeauty

As a beauty lover on a pretty strict budget I have a few brands that I depend on to pick up affordable products that are inline with current trends happening in the "High End" spectrum I can't often get my hands on, one of these brands is BoeBeauty, available exclusively at Big W.


 
I am a big fan of the matte lip phenomenon currently trending in the beauty world and I was hoping that these products from much beloved brand #BoeBeauty would help with my cravings for some matte finish lip products! I am not sure how new these matte lip creams are but I have only just spotted them!


These little cuties are only $2 each and Boe Beauty has once again come to the table with 4 simple shades to make this trend affordable whatever colour I am craving! From a bright powerful red to a every day nude! 

Unfortunately they do not dry or set true matte as the name may suggest and a more of a semi matte / gloss lip product from my experience with them and in my opinion! 

Pillar Box Red - I found to be quite sheer upon first application. 

Upon initial application all the shades are quite sheer and do set more matte when worn this way however I found I needed a second coat to get a good pop of colour and this made more of a glossy finish! 


Top left - Bottom Right lip swatches : 

#34 Pillarbox Red - A Bright vampy red.
#33 Shock Pink - A Bright purple fuchsia with a slightly metallic finish. 
#32 Blush Pink - A Candy pink shade.
#31 Nude - Brown based / Tan nude. 



Despite all of this I adore these lip creams and I find they wear quite well through out the day and add a stain of colour to the lips! 

Swatches from top to bottom : #31Nude, #32BlushPink, #33ShockPink, #34PillarBoxRed. 


Wearing Boe Beauty #31 Nude Matte Lip Cream. 

My fave of the bunch is definetly the nude shade its a colour I am favoring day to day and have easily worked it into my makeup routine. 



My least fave has got to be the shock pink shade! (Pictured above) Although highly pigmented and quite a pretty colour I found that it moved around a lot once applied, didn't wear as well as the others and realistically had a much more metallic and  glossy finish than I was expecting from a matte lip cream! 

I can say that they are still fantastic quality for the price point and there are four highly pigmented shades available to choose from! 

Thank you so much for reading, I would love to hear your thoughts on these charming lip colour's and on this post in the comments below and let me know if you have had similar experiences with them!
