Life's Entropy Lip Theory Swatches + Combinations

Life's Entropy is a newer indie cosmetics company that has an awesome science theme. Seriously, I mean just look at these names! I geeked out hard core when I went shopping. 

These are the swatches of some of the lip theories, a satin finish liquid lipstick that's similar to OCC's Lip Tars.

Reviews of the Colors

Enzyme - ZOMG I love this shade. It's amazing. It's a very pretty natural peachy My Lips But Better 

Crystal Violet - a pretty violet (stains magenta so watch out for that) that I probably wouldn't wear alone but is great for mixing with other colors (this was my free sample)

Coralation - I have a love/hate relationship with this color. I LOVE the shade in the tube. But this is a pressure sensitive color. When you apply moderate pressure it deepens and becomes a very fluorescent, hot coral. It's still pretty, it's just a bit bright for me. I do really like it though. I might wear it around the house to see if I can get used to it.

Big Bang Theory - a very pretty blue based red. This was the hardest to apply because of how dark it is so I'd recommend using a lip liner with this color. But I love the shade and it's perfect for fall!

On to the Experiments!

 I decided to play around and make some new colors. I did an approximate 50/50 blend by layering them in the order that they're listed. I really like how they turned out! I'm going to pick up some full sizes and tubes and get to work making my own colors :D

Overall Thoughts

I love the idea of these liquid lipsticks. I haven't worn them except to swatch so I can't speak to their dry down process or longevity. I tried an OCC Lip Tar once and it was a patchy mess that settled into the lines of my lips. I haven't had that problem with LE's Lip Theories, so I'm really happy to try them out and see if they work for me. 

I was disappointed with Coralation, but the shop warns you that it's pressure sensitive so it's not the creator's fault that I didn't read the description. I was just too excited when I saw coral. I'm a sucker for coral. It's still a lovely shade.
