Review on Bronze Rose Long-Lasting Lipstick Crème by Ted Slaughter

The order came in way quicker than the estimated delivery date so I was pleased about that. Now I found out about this product after seeing Jade Marie's (IG: jadeywadey180) post about this product. The first picture is her post and it looks like the most beautiful light pink metallic that had silver reflects. I just had to get it because it was the most beautiful color I've ever seen. When I received the product, I was disappointed. The product was very small (a little smaller than my ring finger) and it looked like it was previously used/opened since there's very little product in the tube that you can almost see the inside of it. The tube's uncomfortable to open and use since the handle is a very short block. I thought the packaging could be better and there should be more product in it since I paid $25.40 (including shipping). I tried to disregard the packaging because I wanted to try out the product and it's not even worth the price. The product is smooth and it isn't sticky, but when you apply it, it's very streaky and splotchy. It's difficult to apply an even coat without it being too heavy on the lips and that's kind of hard to do because you have to apply more than one coat in order for it to be opaque. The product also sits between your lip lines and piles up between them. The picture I attached I had on 5 coats and it was still splotchy. The color wasn't what I was expecting either. I know the color varies depending on your skin tone, but I had the same lip tone as Jade Marie and did not achieve the same color. If you own or seen the Becca highlighter Champagne Pop, you would know that it's a gold and yellowy highlighter. Well that's what the lip creme appeared as. It looked like I just patted on a bunch of Champagne Pop onto my lips. I don't know if I got a faulty product since there wasnt a lot product in it in the first place, but I probably won't be purchasing this again.
