The packaging is filled with details and below, the product. The container works smoothly, and I love the deep curve design for a better grip during application.

It shows luxury, sophistication, and a class on its own.

Review:

The lipstick comes in a semi matte finish and superb covering power with full color. If you happen to have dark lips, uneven tone color, and other things, this lipstick alone covers everything without the need of using foundation or lip concealer. It is a brilliant red color that is feminine and lovely.

Those who are afraid of the color red can try this as their first red. The pink undertone is gratifying and help lift up the skin tone. It is beautiful without being too serious.

-*-

Beside the color, the lipstick has a good staying power, not completely kiss proof but I would like to give it 3 out of 5 stars in terms of transfer-proof.

I have no problem in applying the lipstick as it glide on pretty smooth but since it is matte, it is definitely as slippery as glossy one with more moisturizing effect and after a few hours lip balm is definitely needed.

-*-

In these images you'll see the lipstick on me with many lighting, above is sunlight exposure in the morning (hence my eyes looks watery, haha!). I got the direct sunlight here. The ray made the lips looks pinker than red. It is adorable!

-*-

And this is when hidden from the sunlight, the color is back to red.

-*-

And above is after 3-4 hours. It looks quite dry, right?! Fret not, just reapply with a bit of lip balm and a fresh coat of the lipstick and I'm back on track, a gorgeous red raspberry lips called Salacious.
