Dose of Colors Terra Collection Swatches ɞ Sand, Stone & Brick ʚ

I waited all day and stayed up all night for the release of Dose of Colors Terra Collection, abit silly, I know; even crazier I waited that long for a makeup brand that I have never tried, but I have read amazing reviews on Dose of Colors products, plus it is a limited edition liquid lipstick set and I had my eyes on Stone ever since sneak peak of this trio set has surface on the internet. 

So I bought it, I tried it a few times and I kind of have mix feelings about it. Not going to say I regret this purchase and all the time wasted on waiting for the release of this collection, I don't ever regret anything I do... 

Dose of Colors Terra Collection

Today I will be showing you the beautiful swatches of the Terra Collection. I must say, Brick has become my absolute favourite, I love it more than Stone, which was the shade I had my eyes on at first and it was the only shade that I wanted from this set.

Dose of Colors released a limited edition trio liquid lipsticks set early this year (2015), from my memory I think it was around April or May. The Terra Collection set includes three liquid lipsticks in the shades Sand, Stone and Brick; these formulas are described as "a velvety high-fashion matte finish" and it claims to "glides on smoothly and stay put throughout the day".

I can't comment on the longevity on these liquid lipsticks as the longest time I have worn them was fifteen minutes max each time. These do glides on smoothly, they are the type of "very liquid-y" liquid lipsticks and I am most impressed with the way they applied, even with its super liquid-y texture, these applies perfectly, even for darker shade like Brick, it was never a messy application for me.

As for the formula, I am not a fan of the super drying formula. It doesn't matter what brand of liquid lipstick I wear, it is a must for me to scrub my lips and apply lip balms beforehand. Dose of Colors liquid lipsticks feels heavy while wearing and they are so drying, it looks like it is cracking all over the lips.

Dose of Colors Sand is my least favourite of all, sadly, it looks like a concealer on me as lip swatch above. Sand is a pale beige-y nude, this shade reminds me of the good ol' Jersey Shore days. Fake tan, pale nude lips, I believe we have all been through that phase... or is it just me?!

Dose of Colors Stone is a pretty pink mauve shade, this one reminds me of the Kylie Jenner lip craze that everyone is talking about this year. The mauve-y tone is darker than what I have imagined when these promo pictures first came out, but it is a beautiful colour and in my opinion, it is suitable for everyday wear.

Dose of Colors Brick, oh ho ho ~ I love you, gosh, freaking crazy over you Brick! I didn't think I was going to like Brick when I bought the Terra Collection set, I mean, look at it, it's not a Kay-kind-of colour, but it did end up being my number one favourite! Brick is a brick red, rich burgundy shade.

Overall, no regret on the purchase of the Dose of Colors Terra Collection, at least I love two out of three shades from the set; Sand may be too pale for me, but a good thing about light shade of lip product is, you can always line your lips with a darker lip liner, or mix the liquid lipstick with something else.

For those of you who are interested in purchasing the Terra Collection, sorry to burst your bubble, it is a limited edition set and it is no longer available; but don't panic, yet, last I heard, Dose of Colors will be releasing these shades individually sometimes this year, or next year.


Next time I am trying the Dose of Colors lipsticks, I heard they are lovely!
