Lipstick Collection

It might not be a huge collection because I rather own few ones that I use very often than own so many that I can barely use. Basically if I own so much, those lipsticks will just expire on me. And I don’t wear lipstick everyday. Sometimes I get too lazy and wear a tinted lip balm instead.

I’m the type who wants to own different types of lipstick—one matte, one cream, and one glossy/lustrous types. I really don’t like satin and frosted lipsticks so much though so I probably don’t own one unless it’s a gift. I also would want to own each one from different shades—one mauve, one nude, one pink, one plum and recently added to my collection is one red lipstick. So I have a lipstick ready to match whatever situation or event I’m in whether that’s going to be a party, work, a grand event or simply for everyday use.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor in Yummy Plummy – as the name implies, this is a plum lipstick. Plum shades look best on me. It is the closest shade to my natural lip color. It’s a cream lipstick, it has a rich, creamy feel when applied.  I can use this at work and I remember using this during one of my cosplays with an addition of a bright magenta lip gloss and I say it was a good combination. That combo as far as I could remember, was a show stopper.

Nichido Satin Moist Lipstick in Nude Pink—it says nude pink but the finish on my lips is more of a coral brown although the color looks nice on my lips. It doesn’t look so satin but rather a cream one. The pigmentation is a little bit light as well as the coverage.

Estee Lauder Pure Color in 114 – this is my lucky charm in applying for a job. I almost always use this whenever I’m out looking for a job. It has a sophisticated maroon color on me and the finish is satin although this is a cream one. The scent can be too lipsticky and it is all I smell whenever I wear it.

Aido Lipstick in no. 11 – I bought this one because it’s super cheap and yes I really wanted a new lipstick back then. It costs Php 25.00 around $.50. It has mauve shade on me. It glides in very smoothly on my lips. The scent is that of crayons. People might be put off at that kind of smell but it is fine on me. The packaging is not something so fancy neither sturdy but I'm not really anal about it.. It is better to blend it with a bright colored lip gloss. It dries lips despite gliding in smoothly, you need to apply lip balm and let it seep in for like an hour first before applying this.

Swatches

Adding to my "collection" is the red San San hydrating color dew 04 that I've reviewed previously ♥
