When I was hauling last Christmas season, this was a lipstick I was kind of unsure if I should keep it or not. I have put this lipstick up for sale and never really gave it a chance. Though I really thought it was pretty, I thought it didn't work for me because of its blue tones. It was only when someone asked about this lipstick that I realized how pretty this really is. And when she haggled to buy it for only Php350 inclusive of shipping, I immediately said no mainly because I got it for Php1250 and I've had it for only a month plus I saw a lip swatch of it and thought it was really pretty. Haggling is okay, but you know, just at least be reasonable with it. I wanted so much to say, "Ineng, punta ka na lang sa Rustan's and try mo tumawad sa sales assistant dun, baka sakali pumayag." (Go to Rustan's and try haggling with the sales assistants there, they might agree to the price.)Meanie, I know, but I can't help it. :P So I gave it another swipe and decided to just keep it for myself. I found ways on how to make it work better for me and to somehow neutralize the blue tones in it. First, allow me to show you how pretty this is.
A very pretty pink shade with blue tones that is glossy without any shimmers in it. I also find it non-drying and creamy and applies smoothly. It goes on sheer so it is build-able. Once again, my beef with it is the scent. It is somewhat overpowering but not as bad as the scent of Guerlain Kiss Kiss. It goes away after a couple of minutes. Since it is sheer and glossy, I find it perfect to pair with dark or bright colored lipsticks to somewhat tone down the darkness or brightness. I also like using it as a gloss.

Happy Thursday, super awesome peeps! :P
dear, pretty naman eh! :D buti u decided not to sell :P
ReplyDeleteMia, I'm so glad I didn't. :P
ReplyDeletePammy it looks great! :) very nice touch of pink to your lips :)
ReplyDeletereally pretty pammy! the only thing i hate about estee is the scent. >o<" i can't stand it ahaha!!
ReplyDeleteThat color looks very natural on you! very pretty Pam ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks great. :)
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same shade! Exagge naman ang pagka-haggle? Hehe. But yeah, I totally agree with you about the scent. Didn't bother me at first but after a while, it got kinda annoying. Also, I never thought of pairing it up with a more opaque color. I noticed it's pretty sheer too but when I try to apply more layers of it, it becomes super bright and unattractive on me. Thanks for the idea! :)
ReplyDeleteG, yeah, it's pretty pala. :P
ReplyDeleteSugar, yeah. It's just the scent. Smells like old grannies that's too sweet. Basta it's different! Haha! :P
Charry, thank you. :P
Nettie, thank you. :P
Nika, really! That's cool. yeah, the scent is just really annoying but glad it goes away after a couple of minutes or so. :P
wow super pretty pink lips on you sis!
ReplyDeleteNikki, thank you. :P
ReplyDeleteSis I don't know why you wanted to sell it, for me it looks good on you! I haven't seen a full face pic but from what I see yeah, I think it's good. :) Grabe naman yung haggler na yun!
ReplyDeleteChrissy, I initially wanted to sell it because of the blue tones (which I didn't notice when I bought it since I didn't try it on my lips) and the scent. But I'm glad I didn't give in to the price just to sell it. :P
ReplyDeleteso so pretty :) good thing you didnt sell it
ReplyDeleteNadine, I'm happy I didn't. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha Pammy it' s so funny the ineng thing coz I'm trying to imagine someone haggling at Rustans. This one is a keeper for me:-)
ReplyDeleteMina, you have it too? :P Yeah, this one is a keeper. I was at Rustan's earlier (only bought 2 small cosmetic jars, nothing else and I was a good girl) and I remembered ineng as well. :P
