Hello ladies!
I have wanted to write this post for quite some time and I finally managed to! Review, swatches, photos, enjoy :D
Lovie is a greek cosmetics company and I really like their lipsticks, they cost €2 and they are longlasting without being dry.
Packaging-Application
Cheap plastic packaging that's easy to break. Another bad thing is the one you can see in the picture below, if you remove the cap too fast and you are not careful you may scrape off half the lipstick! But cheap packaging is okay with me as long as the product itself is good and the price is low.
Ingredients
The ingredients are written on the sticker that seals the lipstick. They are tiny and not very easy to read but I manage to write them down for you. Hope everything is correct :)
Castor oil, octydodecanol, candelia wax, petrolatum, beeswax, ozokerite, lanolin, carnauba wax, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, tocopherol acetate(vitamin E).
The actual product
Colour:
Most, if not all, shades are super pigmented with no.20 to be the most pigmented of all. I usually either pat it on my lips or apply regularly and remove most of it with a tissue because it's too vampy for me. This is my favourite winter dark lipstick and the reason why it's the last one on the swacthes, it was hiding on the back of the drawer with the other winter-coloured lippies.
Feeling:
What I love about these lipsticks is that you don't have to apply lip balm underneath. As long as your lips aren't chapped, they'll look good. They also don't feel drying while you are wearing them. Since they are longlasting, they are not moisturising but they won't suck all the moisture off your lips like other lipsticks or lip stains. I've tried them while eating and drinking and they stay for a long time.
Smell/Taste:
I'm not sure about that. Gina says that they smell cheap plastic but the first lipsticks I bought (the pink ones) smell like bubblegum. The scent kinda fades after some time though. Some other smell chocolate-y and some other like plastic but not too much and definitely not after application.
Summary: 4/5
They lose a point for the cheap and easy to break packaging and the not-always-pleasant smell. Everything else is great!
Would I buy again?
It's a little difficult to say because I already have all the shades. Just kidding! There are plenty more shades and I'd definitely buy them.
Where can you find/buy it-Cost
http://www.lovie.gr/
Cost: €2
I'm not sure but I think you can only find them in Greece for now. Of course, you know I love swaps so if you want to try them don't hesitate to send me a mail :D
Now, you already know that one of the gifts for the next giveaway will be the MUA Undressed eyeshadow palette. Why don't we pair it with a nice bold lipstick? Tell me with a comment below which is your favourite colour(s) and the one most of you choose will be included in the gift ;)

We have them in Bulgaria as well, I think I saw them for the first time 3-4 years ago : )
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick and the shadows are great - now I know that, because of you : ) And I've been using the lipstick all moust every day for the whole summer : )
these seem lovely, havent seen them before so i'm gonna check them out :) xx
ReplyDeleteI've never tried any Lovie products to be honest but these seem to be really pigmented
ReplyDeleteTo 19, το 47 και το 56 τα έχω κ εγώ. Μου αρέσουν πολύ, κοστίζουν ελάχιστα και είναι αρκετά -έως πολύ- σταθερά. :)
ReplyDeleteΤι όμορφα χρώματα!!! Τα ζήλεψα... Δεν έχω δοκιμάσει ακόμη κραγιόν από τη Lovie! Απίστευτο? Λάτρεψα το 56 και το 59!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Lovie lipsticks!No.20 seems perfect for winter/fall,I'll definitely check it out!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Lovie lipsticks but I must say that No 20 looks outstanding!
ReplyDeleteΔεν ήξερα οτι ειναι ελληνικά, θα τα δοκιμάσω συντόμως
ReplyDeletetheir site is under construction, where did you buy them? I might have to look for them, I have read on and on about them from Greek beauty bloggers
ReplyDeletepolu wraia xrwmata! den exw dokimasei akoma kapoio!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love you! ;) x
ReplyDeleteχμμ... δεν ξέρω αν θα τα δοκίμαζα τελικά. Ναι στηρίζω τα ελληνικά προϊόντα αλλά αυτά δε μου πολυγυαλίζουν το μάτι. Δε θα σταθώ πολυ στη συσκευασία (μα ποιος τη σκέφτηκε; άντρας θα ήταν σίγουρα) όσο στα συστατικά. Πολλά parabens βρε παιδί μου και εγώ αυτά κοιτάζω να τα αποφεύγω όσο μπορώ.
ReplyDeleteΤα χρώματα βέβαια βλέπω έχουν πολύ ωραία απόδοση.
Panemorfa xromata alla to 19 latremeno!!! xx Menia
ReplyDelete@caramellitsa: δεν κολλάνε και δε γυαλίζουν σίγουρα! Δε νομίζω ότι ξηραίνουν αλλά δεν ενυδατώνουν κιόλας. Πάρε ένα να το δοκιμάσεις, είναι τόσο οικονομικά που αποκλείεται να κλαις τα λεφτά σου ;)
ReplyDelete@Vicky A.: ωχ, αυτό είναι σίγουρα κακό!
@Sunny.Smile: I'm so happy you like them!! <3 <3
@fashion written with a lipstick: check them out, even if you don't love them, you wouldn't have spent a fortune ;)
ReplyDelete@smugnificent: they are, especially the darker colours!
@Marie: συμφωνώ! :)
@Angel♥Mary: ευχαριστώ αγάπη! Αν ψάχνεις σταθερό κραγιόν που να γράφει έντονα είναι καλή επιλογή!
@Marianne: it's super pretty but I only apply a little amount or it's too vampy :)
ReplyDelete@Daydreamer: I see no.20 has many fans :)
@the-beauty-nerd: δοκίμασε να μου πεις αν σου αρέσουν!
@Pink_Fish: it is? :( I hope they'll fix it soon! You can find them at Metro Syntagma exhibition room, they are almost always there.
@Lydia: χαίρομαι που σου άρεσαν :)
ReplyDelete@Stavroula @drugstoreandbargainlover: love you too! :D
@Ελένη Κερσένογλου missticklemepink.blogspot: σίγουρα άντρας τη σκέφτηκε χαχαχα! Έχεις δίκιο σε αυτό, κι εγώ γι'αυτό τα έγραψα, για να ξέρουμε τι χρησιμοποιούμε! :)
@Menia: μου αρέσει κι εμένα πολύ! :)
@Natalie:thanks for the info, I'll be heading over Syntagma next Monday, so I'll stop buy and check them out for myself XXX
