So I am not going to
review the product per se, this is more of a shade review.
Pinks in my opinion is a dangerous color… It lures us into
thinking that a shade might suit us, but it can look horribly weird based on
your skin tone and makeup.
Red is usually touted as a color to be used with caution but
I say Pink is what we should be wary of.
The right pink shade can flatter your face but the wrong one
can make your skin dull, teeth look yellow and show up all bad things about
your skin & makeup.
This is one pink shade with which I’ve had love-hate
relationship. Some days it looks great on my skin, some days it makes me look
as if I borrowed lippy from a 13yr old.
I think this is a discontinued shade, but if you find
similar shades my advice is to make sure you test it out on your lips as this
color may not be for everyone.

On that note, here is what I suggest you do to test lippies when you go
shopping and find that you don’t really care for the much used testers:
1.
Always keep a tester set with you when you go
scouting. Kit should contain – set of paper napkins or wet wipes, cotton, cotton
swab or buds or q-tips & a tea stirrer or any thin wooden stick
2.
If the lipstick bullet is not very short, use
the napkin or wipe to clear the top layer of the product. Make sure you explain
to any SA around that you are going to try on lips, so she doesn’t think you
are crazy.
3.
If the lipstick bullet is very short, use the
tea stirrer to slowly discard top 1-2 layers.
4.
Use the cotton swab, bud or q-tip to get the
color from the fresher layer and apply on lips.
5.
Some tips – SAs can be pushy, but stand your
ground and let them know you prefer applying yourself. Also smell the lipstick
before application. If there is any damage to product, it usually comes of in
the smell. If possible try viewing the
color in different lights, if you are trying this out at night.
