Hey guys!
You should all feel special because it is my birthday and i chose to spend the last hours of if writing a review for you *LOL*,
And an appropriate one, as i am getting on year older (that much closer to ancienity *sigh*) i definitely appreciate products that have anti aging properties in it (because i want to be frozen in time and look 21 forever hahaha). Aging happens to us in every part of our bodies, including our lips - therefore it is important for us to take care of our lips - the earlier the better - that's why this product that i am going to review today is very interesting and appealing : ARRA Beauty, a lip cosmetic brand with anti aging formula. Their products contains emollient that beautifies your lips inside out.

ARRA Beauty lip matte and lip moist |
ARRA Beauty itself is a higher end local beauty brand that i have been eyeing for a while, especially because of their pretty packaging and also rave reviews about them so i am super elated when i got three of their lippies from Clozette Indonesia, two of their newest lip matte shades and also their lip moist.
ARRA Beauty lippies come in a pretty gray box with holographic design on them |
They have the same box and packaging for their lip matte and lip moist |
In the box you will find this sleeve with the lippie inside |
The wand is pretty short and the applicator is flat, quite unusual but i find no problem navigating and maneuver it |
And here are the swatches of the lippies that i got before we talk about them further :
L-R : Lip Moist, Bungo and Soka Under natural sunglight |
Under artificial light, but actually they look closer than their actual colors here |
First up, let's talk about the new shades of the lip mattes :
ARRA Beauty Lip Matte in Soka |
You will find the shade name under the tube as well |
Soka is a warm, nude shade with a tinge of coral :
Soka on my lips, it's slightly darker in real life. It's a sweet nude shade that would look like a MLBB type of shade on deeper skin tone while still highly complimenting fairer skin tones like mine |
Soka is a very easy shade to wear, you can wear it on your bare face, with very minimal makeup of with full makeup, it will still look gorgeous. A shade that should be in every woman's posession |
I find the formula on Soka and Bungo are slightly different, i think you can see it from the arm swatches too how Soka is slightly thinner in formula. It's still pretty pigmented and i do not feel the need to re-dip my wand to fill in my entire lips, but it is definitely not as pigmented as Bungo.
Both lip mattes has velvety finish, a type of finish that i personally enjoy as they look pretty matte but doesn't feel very dry on the lips. This means they do transfer, but still have superb staying power as i can eat and drink - and i would still have the lip color on. Ofc, very heavy and greasy meal would mean that you have to reapply, but who doesn't wipe their mouth clean after a greasy meal anyway??? I also find them not crusting or bunching so retouching is a breeze.
Both lip mattes are comfortable for long wear and my lips are not dry/hurting by the end of the day, thanks to all those emollient and lip caring formula they contain! Oh yeah, the lip mattes have this bittersweet milk chocolate scent that is pretty announced, i personally enjoy the scent but if you are not a fan of bittersweet chocolate scent then you might wannabe warned beforehand ^^.
ARRA Beauty Lip Matte in Bungo |
I am not much of a pink lipstick lover, but i do love a good fuchsia and i feel Bungo really makes my pale complexion pop in all the right ways |
I love to use Bungo both on my full lips for a bolder, more mature look and also in the inner part of my lips for a sweet ombre look |
Like i mentioned earlier, the formula on Bungo is thicker and more pigmented than Soka. You only need a little bit and it goes a long long way. The staying power is also even better as it is a darker shade and this one leaves a beautiful tint even after you wipe your lips off. Other than that, the performance is similar to Soka in how comfortable and lip caring it is. Bungo is my personal favorite out of the two new shades although in reality Soka will get a lot more use on day to day basis.
Then let's also talk about their Lip Moist :
ARRA Beauty Lip Moist only comes in one shade, on the bottle it looks red with gold glitter on it but once applied it's almost clear with just the slightest pink tint in it |
On the lips the lip moist is almost like a clear gloss, in this picture i was wearing it on top of a tinted lip balm so it looks more pink |
ARRA Beauty Lip Moist is like a hybrid between a lip oil and a lip gloss, it can be used both before or after lipstick as a lip care and gloss. My lips were pretty dry and cracky when i fist start using it and after applying it the whole day my lips are in much better condition so it can definitely be categorized as a lip care product as well.
If you are expecting a full on gloss, i think you might be a bit disappointed as it has a thin and watery formula so it would dry off/get absorbed into your lips after a little while. It is very very comfortable and it has a fresh strawberry scent, i absolutely love wearing it on top of a tint/tinted lip balm on days when i want to look more natural. I would also recommend to use it on top of your lip mattes if you feel like your lips are starting to feel dry, it would soothe and fix your lips pretty much immediately!
I love both the lip mattes and lip moist from ARRA Beauty as i have such positive experience with them, if you are in the market for a comfortable, yummy smelling, lip caring lip creams then i would highly recommend you to check out ARRA Lip mattes, i personally am super interested to try out their other shades as well. If you are looking for a high quality lip care you can wear on a daily for a naturally fresh lips or on top of lip creams, then i would also highly recommend you to give ARRA Beauty lip moist a try!
