Since I lost my Sophie Lipstick [Link Here], I decided
to buy Sansan lipstick right away. It will took me more than a week if I
ordered another Sophie and I can't bear to wait that long. That's because I
usually just own 1 lipstick and don’t understand why I should stock some. I
call it, being practical.
In HBC here, you won’t find
samples and testers. Sometimes I wonder if they’re near bankruptcy for their
store gets smaller with time. And so, I didn’t bother myself from asking the
colors when I can perchance find it over the internet. I realized how wrong I
am here. I should have asked the staff.
Over the net, I saw “Shimmer
01”. Next, I went to HBC and grab the lipstick without opening it, reach the
counter and paid it. I was dismayed when I saw the color for the first time.
RED. I relied with the number “01”. I didn’t know that there is a “Hydrating
Color Dew” set which is a different set from “Shimmer” and maybe the regular
one. Too bad the color and container is the same.
Packaging
The tube is heavy as if it’s made of metal. It looks elegant
to me except that I didn’t like the tip of the lipstick; the way the angle made
is too pointed.
Lipstick
There is no doubt it smells cocoa. It moisturizing on my
lips and feels buttery when applied. It probably lasts for 2 hours, other than
that you can feel when it’s no longer there.
It doesn’t survive a meal and I’m not actually comfortable eating with
wet lips.

Perhaps it’s a sheer lipstick, it is made of partial tint
that still deliver a red tone and shine to the lips. I’m still undecided
whether I like or hate it. I like the way it moisturizes my lips but I have a
lip gloss so I don’t really need that. Since the tint is not opaque, I can’t
use it as a blush for my cheeks. Yes, I usually use a lipstick as a blush.
I believe this kind of lipstick is good enough for those who
want just a minimal effect. I know some conservative people who would prefer a
simple look. It is comfortable to wear during the day but will not do in
cocktail hours.

My look
This lipstick doesn’t give a great contrast on my face. I
still look plain, sometimes lifeless but much better than not wearing one.
Nothing much has changed when I build it up. With proper lighting or powder on
my face, it looks good on me. I believe it’s RED. But not the red I find
objectionable. Red gives me an aura of sadness and boredom, too serious for my
age. I’m not fond of Red but the sheen in this Sansan lipstick made it look
wearable and fit enough with my age and face. I don’t like Red matte lipstick
mostly because it doesn’t match me. This is not matte.
Repurchase?
NO. I might try a different shade until I find the shade for
me and with lots of different brands there, why would I stay in one brand?
I believe a pink one will give
me a more feminine look and will make me younger; a lady in bliss, simple,
sweet and graceful. However, I felt I’m too trying hard with the past pink
lipstick I had.
