And after a
few long weeks without any update, I finally finished one blog entry! Since it
is my first post this month, I would like to start a new segment called,
Featured Products. With this segment, I will be featuring products from one particular
brand. This month Featured Products are from Pink Sugar simply because their
lip products are heavenly good.
Pink Sugar Matte,
HD Lipsticks, and Sugar Tint are the star of the month. They were chosen not
just because they are great, but also because they can be your Valentine’s lip
buddy. You’ll know why if you keep on scrolling down. ^^
PACKAGING:
I so did not
expect a packaging this cute from a local brand. Perhaps this is one of the
reasons why Pink Sugar hit it off; not to mention the alluring brand name that
combines every girl’s favorites, Pink and Sugar (Sweets). The tubes of the
lipsticks are rather thin, though – but that’s not a big deal to me.
PERFORMANCE:
VaVa Voom
(HD) – has an orange undertone. It turns out to be more orange-y than
reddish. It has a moist finish, but with less glossiness.
Sangria
(matte) – the only lipstick I have that matches the color of Sangria wine
perfectly. The finish is actually semi-matte.
Purple
Pleasure (sugar tint) – this is an all-out purple with a perfect matte
finish and doesn’t transfer.
These
lippies shouts Pigmented (yes, Pigmented with a capital P)! The opacity is
surprisingly immense. A few of my friends actually thought I was wearing a
high-end brand lipstick. The swatches below shows two swipes of Sangria
(matte), VaVa Voom(HD), and Purple Pleasure (sugar tint) to achieve that color payoff.
Both HD and
Matte lipsticks stay for as much as 3-4 hours, that is, if you will not drink
or eat anything. They both leave a stain on the lips after the lipstick is
completely wiped out. The stain doesn’t stay that long, though. Moisture is not
an issue here.
Sugar Tint,
on the other hand, stays longer than the lipsticks, but not that much. Since it
doesn’t transfer on anything your lips touches, it can stay for up to 5 hours
max. No stain or anything after that. Given that it has a matte finish, expect
the dryness that comes with it. Did I mention how it smells so good? It smells
like grapes, baby!
Wait, there’s
more. These featured lippies are cheap and available in all Watson’s and
Department Stores nationwide.
