I have swatched the above the shade in my instagram reel. Huda Beauty power bullet matte lipstick in the shade Pay Day is from her roses collection. This collection derives its inspiration from the beauty of the rose. The collection consists of both warm tones and cool tones. The shade Pay Day is a cool toned rose mauve with hints of purple and magenta. Unique and interesting color. Now I feel the shades are diverse in terms of tones as it emphasis the warm tone versus cool tone. I was about to pick up pool party but I gravitated towards pay day and hence got this one instead. Never regretted the decision either as I feel it’s oddly beautiful when you wear this lipstick.
Price:
25$ USD
1995 INR
Packaging: The product comes in a square type magnetic closure tube. The shade matches exactly to the lipstick tube. The lipstick bullet appears to be in a diamond shape.
Upon the swatch, the formula is a soft matte, it doesn’t dry out the lips.
My Experience
The lipstick is beautiful and richly pigmented. One swipe and you get an opaque coverage. I loved the concept of bringing warm tones and cool tones in this range. The lipstick feels light weight on your lips and doesn’t dry out. It is a comfortable moisturizing matte formula. Each of Huda’s lipsticks are infused with sweet almond oil and hence it is smooth to apply, glides on like a lip balm. The lasting power comes into action for 4 – 5 hours upon application. The packaging feels luxe and so does the formula of it. The cons to point out would be the price, as it is expensive and I wish the quantity of the lipstick could be increased and also the bullet shape, since it is a diamond form, the application takes a toll as you need to understand the way it has to be applied. I feel after getting used to tear drop type bullet forms, the application of this lipstick gets tricky and not to mention after a couple of uses the diamond shape slowly starts to fade, then it becomes a bit difficult to apply. Apart from these cons the lipstick non the less is beautiful and you get a good shade selection.
