ProsI have naturally dry lips, so when I use matte lipsticks, my lips tend to flake and show dead skin cells. That's why I usually apply lip balm before lipstick or opt for lip gloss instead. On my way back from a trip to Japan, I couldn't resist the urge to add another lipstick to my collection - you know how it is, no matter how many you have, you always want more! I picked this one up at duty-free with the help of a friendly Japanese staff member. When I first applied it, I was amazed at how smoothly it glided on! The color is a vibrant pink-red that adheres perfectly to my lips. I'm absolutely thrilled with both the texture and the shade!
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but next time I might try a slightly lighter shade!
TipThis product is so moisturizing that you don't really need to use a lip balm underneath - one swipe is enough! I think it would also look beautiful if you applied a light lip gloss all over and then just dabbed this in the center for a gradient effect.
