Likes:
♥ This is the most beautiful, most true, coral cream makeup product I've seen till date.
♥ Super pigmented. I place my finger lightly on it, and the product still manages to cling to it. It is quite opaque too, so no worries about having to over-layer for the color to show.
♥ Non-sticky & blends to a smooth finish real quick.
♥ Lasts for hours. It is water resistant too.
♥ Makes a good eyeshadow base [Think sunset look.] Less fallouts when using glittery eyeshadows.
♥ I adore the square bat wing pot. Sometimes not easy to open, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
♥ 3-in-1 product. For eyes, face, lips (and body too)! Gotta love that.
Dislikes:
- It doesn't mattify completely, which results in creasing after a while, especially when it's worn alone. However, if you use it as a base under another powder eyeshadow, creasing shouldn't be a problem.
- It is too opaque for my lips, but if I'm going for statement coral lips then I wouldn't look any further.
- Can only be purchased online [for us in this part of the world].

The color is quite similar to MUFE Aqua Cream #9 Coral (review here), but I personally prefer this one, simply because it is easier to work with.
I see myself wearing this on my cheeks a lot. If you heart coral blushers, you may not want to skip on this one. I'm so smitten with this coral, because I've been looking for a dress in this shade for the longest time! Wait, I feel like I've said this before before....Déjà vu. But ya, still haven't found it, sadly.

ReplyDeleteThe color is seriously tempting, though would be more wearable as blush than on the lips
ReplyDeleteWOW! I agree with IBC, I thought of it as a blush more than a lip product but WOW that's a pretty color!
