The most striking thing about this lipstick is its packaging. I find this packaging so beautiful and elegant. To be honest, a greater part of my desire to get this lipstick is because of its packaging. The pink color in the middle of the tube shows a representation of the lipstick's shade, and I find that this is a very accurate representation.
I was actually quite in a hurry when I bought this so I didn't have a lot of time to choose the best shade for me. I picked the color Lingerie Pink. Unfortunately, this color turned out to be a very light shade of pink. Too light, that it washes me out.
I have the tendency to misjudge swatches. Since I bought this by judging the swatch alone, I though that this lipstick shade is more wearable that it actually is.
I'm actually sad that this lipstick didn't turn out to suit my skin tone. The lipstick's texture is very smooth and creamy. It looks and feels almost milky when I apply it. The color on the lips is very true to the color on the tube, since the lipstick is very pigmented. You'll get the same color payoff with one swipe or with three or more swipes. I didn't find it possible to sheer out the color.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to test the longevity of this lipstick since it didn't look that great on me. But I've read that this lipstick did not have great staying power.
I'm still hoping that maybe in the future I'll lose my tan and become fair enough to suit this lipstick. Or I might just give this to my sister if it suits her, since she's fairer than me.
