3CE - Mood Recipe 2 Matte Lip Color - 5 Colors

colour is absolutely gorgeous, especially for fall. it doesn't go on super smoothly but stays on quite well once its on

Texture: 7/10. It’s expected for a matte lipstick to not glide on as smoothly as regular lipsticks but I believe this formula glides more smoothly than the first matte mood recipe lip collection. It may have super tiny clumps when applying on ur lips if but when you pat them on ur lips they’ll disappear and give a soft look to your lips. To get the best results out of its texture, moisturize ur lips the night before.
Transferrable- Yes after eating, but not too much since it doesn’t have a creamy formula which I do not very much enjoy for a matte lipstick.
Longevity- 7/10 lasts pretty long for a bullet lipstick since it does have a matte formula.
Color- 10/10!! I got the colours mellow flower and hit me up. The mellow flower is a beautiful pinkish red shade and hit me up is a teracotta/burnt orange-red shade that gives a retro vibe. super great colors for the fall!! 3CE has the most beautiful lip shade range.
Smell- They have no scent.
Packaging- 10/10. The color of the packaging is the same as the lipstick color itself and is matte as well which I love.
Would repurchase? Yes it’s by far my favourite matte lipstick formula and I love the way it looks on my lips! Just don’t forget to moisturize/exfoliate ur lips the night before, that way it’ll look better on your lips:)

i got mine in mellow flower, the shade is so pretty and the formula is pretty nice. a bit draggy on the lips but other than that, it's great, not drying or uncomfortable

I have these in Mirrorlike, Mellow Flower, and Hit Me Up. I think the colors are just as beautiful as the pictures! Terracotta earthy tones with just enough pink. They apply nicely as a full lip or gradient. I do find, however, that they are a bit dry since they are a matte formula. As long as I exfoliate my lips and apply a lip balm before hand, I don't have too much of a problem. And they're are so pretty sitting on my vanity!

I bought this lipstick in #221 Mellow Rose a year ago and I still carry it everywhere I go. At the time, I saw it online and couldn’t decide which color to buy. Luckily one of my friends got this shade in Mellow Rose and let me try it. I fell in love instantly! In real life, this shade is a deeper red with some pink. It goes on smooth and soft. The formula is matte and doesn’t budge. It’s not transfer proof but I could eat and drink with it on and don’t really have to worry about needing to reapply. I can wear this for a full lip look or gradient lip look. So I recommend anyone looking for a versatile shade and lipstick to purchase this one!!! ❤️

The orangey/pink colour is absolutely beautiful. I was afraid it would be too orange for me, but turns out it is perfect. Will buy more :)

Mate result but hydrated. I like it. Perfect, beautiful color. My friend like it too and i suggest to buy at Yesstyle. Definitely repurchase.

Actually I don't like matte lipstick because how dry it is for lips, but this one surprise me a lot !

It's creamy/buttery-like texture so hyper comfortable to apply ! And because of it I thought it will not gonna last long but how wrong I was ! I can eat, drink, and smoke with it and it doesn't take off !

Lastly look how the color is pretty and lovely !

I waited a bit before writing this review to see the longterm effects. The shade Mellow Flower is so super natural and I've had so many compliments for it. It's perfect for a natural and fresh look.
The formula is super nice and creamy and it doesn't dry my lips and stays a very long time. I would definitely buy again.

I chose the color Mellow Flower. It's so pigmented I never use it full on my lips. (the one in the picture is blended with a nude lipstick around the edges of my mouth to create a subtle gradient)

I want to purchase the lighter colors now 😁

Nice lipstick. Beware though: if your lips are chapped or dry it'll be hard to get an even application. It kinda drags on the skin and skips a bit. But it is very pigmented. And much darker than on the pictures. Would recommend in general.

Such great product. Even if my lips are a bit dark, it still show the color really well. Gradient works wel too. More than this, It stayed all day, even after meals. Once you apply on to your lip, it stay there, i won’t come off easily when you tried to wipe it or drink anything.

3CE never fails me when it comes to lip products so I wasn’t that surprised of the good quality of this lipstick. I got this bc a YouTuber name darcei raves about it all the time. The Lipstick looks amazing on her and she is darker than me. The perfect pink lip color for black women.
