Review (3/5): Great color, not so great wear
[[VIDEOID:3f1ab260e98f64f9cd34a33ff893f033]] First, the good stuff:
I love the color of this lipstick. (I purchased "Diane"). You can apply a soft wash with your fingers or brush. It's neutral enough to go with almost any look. If you want more intensity, use the bullet directly on your lips and the color is just gorgeous. It's a perfect spring/summer shade. It also feels very creamy on initial application and is pleasant (at first) on the lips.
Now the not so good stuff:
As soon as I opened this package from the mail, the component and bullet fell apart. All I did was take off the lid and everything fell to the floor. The bullet fell out! Also, the packing was dusty and had fingerprint marks, though the component itself is a beautiful design. So it was a very disappointing experience to open this package.
After only an hour of wearing this product, it clung in patches, sank into lines, and faded. It looked and felt awful. All this, even though before application I exfoliated, used a lip mask, and applied lip balm. So this too was disappointing.
I will see how it performs with a lip primer; that may save it. However, I think a lipstick should perform much better than this even without a primer.
