My Opinion:

 

This lipstick feels dry on the lips and during application it drags. Although I did not like the texture, I've really like the shade. Does anybody knows a dupe for this shade with a better formulation?

My Opinion:

 

These are like jumbo lipsticks, they are not super hydrating or moisturizing, but the shade was beautiful and most importantly I love the citrusy scent of it.

touch in Sol 19 One Step Closer Lip Crayon Bar

Shade: #3 P.S. Cherry Parfait
Price: HK$88.00
Local of Purchase: Watsons

I've recently been obsessed with Lip Crayons and have been loving the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain. Until recently I came across touch in Sol which is a Korean Brand that has recently landed at Watsons, and if you understand Korean you could check out their webpage, but since I don't understand a single word, this is only going to be my personal opinion.

 

The reason why I love Revlon Balm Stain is because they are so easy to apply, but I've noticed that touch in sol is actually a lipstick in a crayon shape, unlike the revlon which is a balm and a stain. In terms of shades touch in sol is alot more vibrant because after all it is still a lipstick, but it isn't as nourishing as the revlon. Please note that the touch in sol lip crayon does smells like crayon, I think this might be an issue for some people.

17 Rose Millesime

From Right to Left:

1. Orange Pop-Up
2. Raise Remix
3. Rose Millesime

My Opinion:

 

I've initially only purchase Rose Millesime, because for a drugstore lipstick this was actually quite expensive, but after wearing it for a few days I went back and they were having 25% off so I got a few more.

 

I'm usually a nude lip person, but somehow I got all these bright colors because they seems to freshen and brighten up my whole look.

My Opinion:

I've already read my share of bad reviews about this product, but I still went ahead to get it because I'm a super lazy person, and I only touch up my lips once daily (usually after lunch), and for most of the day I have bare lips, so a long wearing lipstick is really tempting.

 

The texture of this lipstick is really weird, after application you should not smack your lips, you should let it dry, but once dried they really do feel dry.

 

The color really did stay until lunch, but when I looked into the mirror, my lips were dry and patchy,  I did not appreciate the overall look.

 

I've tried using this again, but this time I have moisturized and exfoliated my lips, the results were alot better, and my suggestion would be to only use this product when your lips are moisted and exfoliated.

My Opinion:

Since I got them, I've been obsessed with these stains, although they feel like a gloss (glossy finish) they are actually a very pigmented lip stain.

The gloss on top will rub off, but the stain stays for the whole day, I'm definetly going to get more of these.

Only complain, the color runs darker on your lips, can't rely on swatches.

My Opinion:

I've been obsessed with these lip butters, ever since they came out I've started to collect them, and unlike other lipsticks and lipbalms, they are both hydrating and pigmented.

 

I think I got most of the shades that I like, and is about time to stop purchasing, unless they come up with new shades.

NYX Black Label Lipstick

Shade: 151 Acapulco
Contents: 0.15oz / 4.2g

Ingredients: Ceresin Wax, Polyethylene Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Squalane, Lanoline Oil, Polyisobutylene, Mineral Oils, Octyl Palamitate, BHA, Propyl Paraben, D&C Red No.7 Ca, Pearl Powder, Iron Oxide.

My Opinion:

I've never been a huge fan of bubble gum pink, I do love how it looks on others, but I'm just unsure if I could pull thru. Recently, I've tried  Nyx Stick Blush in Magnolia which is another bubble gum pink blush that just seems to brighten up my whole complexion. Since then I've been more courageous and started to try out other bubble gum shades products.

I've tried using this lipstick in full strength and didn't like the results, I think this look alot more flattering when I sheer it out.
