blp beauty mini lip coat set - petite

this is the description from local marketplace (the set was gone from their website already): your favorite matte liquid lipstick comes in mini size! 

- mini: butter fudge, lavender cream, burnt cinnamon, and pumpkin sorbet.

- petite: peppermint pink, persimmon pie, maple waffle, and bloody mary.

slip it in your pocket or purse for a quick lipstick touch up after your snack time.

mine is petite set.

- peppermint pink: every girl has a right to flaunt her inner vibrant and youthful self. this soft pink shade works to bring out the irresistible charm for your lips. easy application for a delicate eye catcher.

- persimmon pie: so maybe its time you need to look serious for a meeting, or you just feel like today is a day you want to show others "who's the boss" (it's you, we know). a dark mauve for the special occasion of being a badass.

- maple waffle: nude lips lovers, unite! imagine luscious chocolate shade with mauve undertone, just like a deeper color of pink to complement your lips effortlessly. opt for this hue if you need a little pick-me-up. 

- bloody mary: a little attitude is a long way, especially when you're saying it with a deep red lipstick. it's certainly a big way to show you mean business.

the packaging: since i bought this as a set, it comes in a pink cardboard box with a transparent plastic window at front so you can see all the lip coats inside. but the plastic window is not completely transparent. it has handwritten on it, either it is petite or mini according to which set you buy. all the lip coats inside is similar to the current full size lip coats. it comes in a frosted plastic tube with white plastic cap. on the body you can see the color of the shade of the lip coats. it only has tiny text of BLP on it while the older version has big BLP letters printed on the body. you can read the shade name on the bottom. since this is a mini version, the doe foot applicator is mini as well. it has slanted tip so it can reach my lips comfortably. however, i think the applicator picks up too much product so i often scrape of some of it before dab it on my lips. packaging wise, i think it's pretty and clean, it's refreshing to look at. i wouldn't guess that it's a local brand product judging from the packaging.

the color: i told you i bought the petite set, and it has 4 colors. peppermint pink is a baby pink, i was afraid that it's too washed out for me, but it's not. it's leaning toward cool tone pink. the persimmon pie is a dark mauve, quite dark, so i was surprised swatching it the first time. maple waffle is a chocolate shade. this is one of the three new shades that's released with the new formula. compared to other chocolate shades, this one has mauve undertone, which is clearly seen when you compared it, but swatching it alone, you'd probably just see a chocolate shade. bloody mary is a deep red. i gave the bloody mary away because i knew i won't use it, and it would be too dark for me. so there won't be any picture of me using it on my lips.

the product: the formula is creamy. it's easy to spread it around, but you have to be quick as it sets to a matte finish. the color is pretty pigmented so i usually only use a little to dab it on my lips then spread it around with my finger.

the result: the problem with the older version that it's messy since it's not transferproof. this newer version is not transferproof as well, but it's better. however, since this gives matte finish, you have to prep your lips before using this lip coat. it's drying my lips. though i use lip balm regularly, this lip coats dry my lips out. but it's still bearable for me. nothing that lip balm can't solve. i don't use lipstick or makeup for a long duration now, so i can't say for sure how long it could stay on my lips. but if i eat or drink, obviously the color will fade away from the center of my lips. 

i have to say i'm glad that i bought this in mini version. not because it's not a good product. it is a good product, and compared to other lip cream in my collection, i like this better. but the color option is my collection is so-so. my favorite among all would be maple waffle, which is surprising considering i never use any chocolate shade. but apparently it's wearable for. especially if i wear terracotta shirt. i still try to make persimmon pie works on me without looking too dark, but it's too pigmented so even though i only use a little bit, it still shows up vibrantly. oh well. i hope i could finish a mini lip coat, but i guess it would forever, so buying a mini size is a wise move. if you still into lip cream or liquid lipstick, then you should check them out. all the shades are wearable, so i bet you could find a favorite. price wise, it's still reasonable. as for me, i don't think i'll repurchase since it seems to last forever. finishing one of them would be a great achievement for me.
