Disclaimer: I am a big fan of JenLuvsReviews and her channel on YouTube. She is the beauty reviewer that inspired me to start this blog and look at makeup and beauty products with a more critical eye than I used to. However, any product collaboration that she comes out with, is not going to be free from any critique, positive, negative or otherwise that I have. I would highly recommend subscribing to her channel on YouTube if you like beauty reviewers that go into detail with their products.
When JenLuvsReviews first announced her collab with Ofra Cosmetics, I was so excited! She is well known for mixing different lip colors to create the one she really likes, or as she calls it "Frankenlipstick." Her Metamorphosis Collection is all about playing with lip products and creating different lip colors using each of the liquid lipstick colors that she picked. The colors in her Metamorphosis collection are:
Revive (a pale neutral with peach and pink undertones)
Refine (a neutral mocha nude with mauve undertones)
Reimagine (a deep neutral mocha brown, inspired by Dose of Colors shade, Chocolate Wasted, which I love)
The concept is absolutely brilliant! I also appreciate that Jen and Ofra picked neutrals from light to deep to complement all skin tones. The idea of this product is you can use as little or as much as you want with your own lip products to create the perfect shade that is wearable for you. These shades can also be worn on their own.
The liquid lipstick formula does dry down quickly and it is more comfortable than most, but it is not transfer proof, some product will transfer. I tested all three shades as you can see in the photos just so that you can an idea of what the product does with three lip products of my own in different finishes. Any lip colors that you have that are metallic will be matte with little to no metallic finish in the color as you can see in the photo with Black Moon Cosmetics' Liquid Lipstick, Castle (metallic dark gray). However, any lip colors that you have that contain glitter, the glitter is still noticeable as evidenced by Sugrapill's Hijinx (a bright, somewhat deep fuchsia) in the picture. Any matte or cream lipstick finish that you have, will blend into a different tone of the original shade as evidenced by the product itself and the Dose of Colors Liquid Lipstick shade in Purple Rain.
The only potential issue that I see with the product is that people who love metallic finishes in their lip colors may not like that the finish becomes matte, that it isn't transfer proof and that some people feel that there is no need to purchase an item like this because they already like the lip colors that they already have.
One thing to note is that this product is a game changer for me! One thing you need to understand about my belief regarding makeup is that to me, makeup is for everyone and it is not just a way for people to enhance their features, but to me it is inclusive, a way to express yourself and to express your artistry and your art style as a person. For someone like myself who is an artist and who works with art, such as resin, mixing colors is what I do to get the correct shade that I want. As far as this product goes, Jen really hit it out of the ballpark.
This product appeals to me as an artist and as someone who loves lipstick of all kinds, this product will allow me to play with all of my lip colors again.
The best part, this collection will be a permanent product on Ofra Cosmetics' website.
For the first time ever, this product receives the highest grade.
10 Butterflies out of 10.
Congratulations Jen and Ofra Cosmetics!
