| F21 Color Mood Icy Pastel vs. Nichido HD Lipstick in Dolly Pink |
Time for another face off review or more like doing a review on 2 similar products. This time it is between 2 baby pink lipsticks I chanced upon the store just recently: Fashion21 Color Mood in Icy Pastel and Nichido HD Lipstick in Dolly Pink.
First off with Fashion21, I know baby pink lippie would never look good on me and that's tried and tested unless I'd be the daring-non-contemporary type, but as I laid eyes on this pretty and 'sparkly' shade that I actually dig for, I know that this would be an exception.
It's shimmery, and more of the glossy type than cream type. It glides on lips smoothly
Color/staying power
Staying power not much. More like a colored lip gloss than lipstick. Glad that it does not stain and over-dry lip
Eventhough I was confident it will look princess-like pretty on me, it still looks best on light skin tones than dark/medium skin tones like me.

Texture/consistency
Matte. Not really drying on lips but it looks dry on lips and leaves creases. Plus points for extra product on the bottom of the cap. It is not the actual product but a colored gloss that you can combine with the actual product
Color/staying power
Too pale pink. Its hard to suit any skin type. Even light ones. I had my mom and sister try this out, and it still look too pale on anything and anyone. Staying power is ok. Packaging looks great, the gold tube make it look expensive when this lippie is really on the affordable range.

The final verdict between these two is that both are ok. One matte and one glossy type great to be added to your lipstick collection in case you want to feel princess-like^^
