The product up close. |
What I like:
- The packaging's design is cute. I am not usually fan of such designs but I like the combination of pink and purple on this one.
- The shade is a lovely pale peach-pink with a very slight hint of blue tones in it.
- Applies sheer but can be built up for the intensity of the colour to show up more.
- Glossy and applies smoothly.
- Pretty moisturizing for a lipstick. It somewhat reminds me of a tinted lip balm in a tube.
- Does not cause any allergic reaction or irritation on my lips.
What I don't like:
- If applied more than thrice, it makes me look mighty pale and sick.
- Staying power is poor since it is very sheer and glossy.
- I don't dig the packaging. It looks cheaply made if you ask me. It is made of sturdy cardboard. Sturdy but still, it's cardboard.
- Pretty expensive for a lipstick that has poor staying power for Php 1300/tube. For the price, I can add a hundred bucks and go for a Dior lipstick instead.
- Paul & Joe lipsticks are locally available but since this is part of a collection or a limited edition lipstick, it might no longer be available.
Overall rating: 2.5/5 While it is very pretty, it isn't something I reach for and it just sits pretty on my traincase after I used it just a few times.
Will I buy again? No.

Have you tried this lipstick or any other lipstick from Paul & Joe?
Have a happy year-ender, everyone! :)
Cheers,
Thank you for the honest review, Pammy. I haven't tried their lipsticks but did have a lip balm thingy from them that wasn't all that. :\ Though it did not earn 5 stars with you, at least it looks pretty on your lips! :D

It's such a pretty color in the tube, but too bad it's not that great.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's been awhile since I visited you blog, and I just wanted to say Happy Holidays :)
nice review! the lip color accentuates your skin.
ReplyDeletethat's it nice color. I am looking one creamy lipstick but never heard that brands
ReplyDeleteThe colour looks nice on your lips. The casing looks pretty but I can't imagine what would happen if it ever got wet.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice on you though I agree on you on the cardboard! sana man lang plastic na lang no? hahaha pero siguro environmental friendly sila? hehehe
ReplyDeleteI have just ONE P&J lippie and it's the limited edition one, same as you, first 2 application is great but more than that, Pale din!!!
Happy Holidays!
