Romand - SashaGrace review for 13 Red Carpet

[Description] per romand.us >A weightless matte lipstick that glides on smoothly and leaves your lips feeling moisturized. Gives you full-on color that last all day long without being flakey or cakey! [Price] You can find these for sale on many sites, including Romand's official site. It's at $12 USD per lipstick currently. Romand lists msrp at $19.90 USD. [Coverage] I actually have two lipsticks in this line. One is Shell Nude, the other is 15 Midnight, a deep burgundy, which I do find to be pigmented. But these have a very soft blotted, powdery finish and I would call these buildable. I think the deep shades, due to their pigment, can entirely block out the lip. Lighter shades like Shell Nude are actually pretty sheer and will offer a medium coverage at its most opaque. ✨I personally use Shell Nude to even out my lips. I have very uneven lip pigmentation (partly due to cheilitis, partly due to being born with a cleft lip and palate), and it works well to lighten the really pigmented areas of my lips for when I want more color from a nude to show. [Finish] This lipstick formula contains a lot of silicone - dimethicone in particular. It's usually a silicone-based product if a matte lip product glides easily and feels soft. Silicones hide the drying sensation of matte products. These are fully matte and very easily give the soft, blotted look. It's easy to make lips look bigger with these because blending the edges away is effortless. And while silicone usually blocks, not clogs, my pores and causes acne to form, lip product is a category that is mostly okay. I can still get acne on my lip line, which is awful, but I don't often use richly pigmented matte lip products anymore. [Feel] This doesn't necessarily feel drying on me, but it doesn't offer a moisturizing quality for me (I have very dry lips, sometimes even with a balm). So, if you have lips that maintain themselves well, you'll probably be just fine wearing this alone. [Scent] There's really no fragrance to this. I can smell a light clay kind of smell, so very faintly when my nose is nearly touching the product, but that's hardly anything to even make note of. But there isn't a yummy smell if that's what you prefer in lip products. *1 of 5 winning reviews in Picky's Make Me Up Review Challenge.
