Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Honest Beauty Liquid Lipstick in the shade Off Duty.
In case you don’t know, Honest Beauty is Jessica Alba’s makeup line. It has very clean ingredients and it’s cruelty free. It recently arrived it Italy and I was really curious about it.
A couple of weeks ago I saw the video Jessica Alba did with Vogue and it was the final push I needed to finally make my order.
This liquid lipstick is available here for 15$ and it comes in six shades.
COLOUR
This shade is a light peachy pink.
PACKAGING
It comes in a really pretty box that has a “window” to see the colour, I think is very cute and clever.
The tube itself is very classic and simple, the shade is written at the bottom.
The smell is terrible, like paint, I think she wanted to do it unscented but the result is just bad.
APPLICATION
It has a very classic doe foot applicator that I love it because it’s super easy to use, it doesn’t pick up too much product. It’s quite stiff and the point allow to create an even line without a lip liner.
FORMULA
The formula is super high pigmented, it’s creamy but matt and it goes on like a feather. The shade in the tube is incredibly deceiving though, it looks nuder than peachier so when I put it on I was turned off by the colour.
It takes a FOREVER to dry and it’s very sticky. It can be quite annoying because it never dries completely so it will transfer, but on the plus side, is not drying.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
It lasts for about 4 hours but since it never dries completely it will rub off if you touch it or if you eat/drink.
RATING:
- Colour: 5/10
- Longevity: 6/10
- Application: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 8/10
- Formula: 5/10
- Packaging: 6/10
GRADE: C
I really don’t like this liquid lipstick. First, I feel tricked by the shade, I wouldn’t have bought this shade if I’d known it was so warm, it didn’t look that warm in the packaging. The formula is sticky and the scent makes me nauseous. I like the packaging but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Wow – such a disappointment. The color is warm, but I do like it. However, I couldn’t deal with the stickiness or the smell either. I struggle with fragrance in products because they can be potential irritants but they also serve a purpose to mask a bad smell caused by product or packaging.
I’ve heard a lot about this brand. I can always rely on you for a thought-out and detailed review. Thanks for your honest opinions.
Looks and sounds like great beauty product!! I will have to check it out
Bummer! I’m sorry it was a disappointment for you. For what its worth, I think that shade looks just fine on you 🙂
I’m not sure if I’d like this if it’s sticky! The color is nice but I’m picky about what goes on my lips.
It’s quite annoying x
I definitely did not expect that peachy color when I saw the packaging! This lipstick seems like a pass to me.
Exactly! It’s so peachy, definitely a pass
Oh no, so bad this lipstick is a disappointment! I think the shade looks very pretty, though!
I really don’t like it on me ?
What a bummer – I also hate thinking a lipstick is a certain color because of the packaging but then it comes out completely different.
Drives me bananas!
This definitely sounds like a product I’d skip out on – love how honest your reviews are!x
Thank you for reading x
Sorry to hear this didn’t work out! I actually like the color a lot, but it sucks that it wasn’t what you thought it was. Sticky with a weird smell – yuck! I’ve been wanting to try Honest Beauty for a long time now (here it’s stocked in Target), but I’d likely stay away from this product. I heard her mascara with the built-in primer is very good though.
I think the most disappointing thing was the shade actually, it really wasn’t what I thought it was. I’ll check out the mascara next. I have two other reviews coming this week on their products though ??
Oh looking forward!
Omg I havent seen this brand around in the blogging world or insta in a while!
I would have thought it would be a good one considering the price tag but I’ve seen better ones that are more affordable. Very disappointing. I also hate it when I pick up a shade and it ends up being entirely different
Yeah, I’m still curious about them especially because the review that posted today is about their blush and it’s amazing!
