Part 2 Review: CheekRoom's BB cream and Lipstick

Ok! Part 2! The CheekRoom’s Lipstick. :)

To refresh your memory, this is the packaging. (Lipstick:right)

 (This is about 2 or 3 swipes.)

My thoughts:

I got mine in shade 08. I can say that it is the non-matte counterpart of Ever bilena’s matte lipstick in Skin. Why did I purchase this? Because of Ms. Noe, the guru I love… :) Check her out at this site: colorismyweapon.blogspot.com. I wanted to buy the EB lippie in Skin, however my lips are always dry… :( I don’t know what’s wrong with my lips. Dang, I need to drink more water and stop licking my lips (Some say that our saliva makes our lips drier.) Matte lippies will not look good on me. Believe me, I tried it already. I bought EB’s matte lippie in Off beat Pink because of Ms. Noe again, (you are so influential, girl!) but wrong move… Haha! Even though I apply lip balm before the lippie, it didn’t change a thing. So I started using Lip scrub. Let’s see what happens in the future. :p If my lips will not crack up like crazy, then I might buy the EB lippie in Skin and have a review on both Off beat Pink and Skin and on the Lip scrub. :)

Ok, going back, (I talk too much, I know. Haha!) if you are looking for a beige, not-so-nude color, then I think this is the lipstick you want to have. BUT! Its staying power is kinda, well… not so staying. A good 2 or 3 swipes just to achieve the color. It feels like your lips just suck its color if you do it in 1 swipe. You really have to reapply it often. I should have listened to the woman-in-charge of their stall. She already said that their lipsticks don’t have the staying power and it is NOT that pigmented for a lipstick. They are just like tinted gloss or something. Lesson learned! I  mean I like it but not totally crazy about it. It did not live up to the "lipstick expectation".

The price - Php 299.00. A little pricey considering all the cons about the color, etc.

Will I recommend it? – Uhmm… If you need a long lasting lipstick or even just a pigmented one, this is definitely not for you. If you just want a hint of color, then maybe (just maybe) you want to try this. I suggest that you just buy a liptint or tinted gloss if you just want a hint of color. It will save you money. Though I like it, I personally would NOT re-purchase it.
