I'm back with a review of Abbamart-brand Belleme Cosmetics' newest addition to their Get Your Crayon line of lipsticks; it's a beautiful burgundy red called Bad Girl and it's absolutely perfect for Fall.
Keep reading for details and more pictures!

Bad Girl with flash.
Me, feeling like a Bad Girl in burgundy ;)
Bad Girl is a beautiful burgundy red that can be worn opaque or blotted down to a berry stain; it has a satin finish that is just slightly glossy, but not quite as glossy as Red Velvet.
I applied the product on my lips without using a brush or lipliner and without using any lipbalm or anything beforehand; I applied quite a bit to my lips but the product didn't gunk up or get super-thick; the formula really hugs the lips and covers them beautifully whether you apply a little or a lot. It can easily be applied alone like I did for the photo, but since it is a dramatic color I would recommend trying it with a lipliner for cleanest result. I haven't tried it myself but you might be able to apply, blot, reapply etc. to make it even darker if you want a really vampy look.

Wear time for me was good; after snapping this pic I wore Bad Girl for about another 6-7 hours while hanging out, eating/drinking, etc. and it still looked relatively good at the end. I don't know what it is about their formula, but with these crayons I don't get the annoying bare lines on my lips when I press them together, which I have a habit of doing very often without realizing. Before removing the product completely, I wiped my mouth with a tissue and my lips were lightly stained a pretty berry color which I liked.

Like the other lipsticks in the Get Your Crayon line, Bad Girl has an enjoyable cherry-like scent which is faint and fades after application. There's no noticeable flavor which is good since I'm sensitive to the smell/taste of lip products.

For my look I paired Bad Girl with an evergreen gel eyeliner, full lashes, and a neutral blush. (See details of the full look here.)

Summary:
If you're looking for a wearable burgundy red for Fall, I recommend giving Bad Girl a try! You can buy it here using my link to get 10% off your first order!
