I previously wrote about Lunasol finally making it to our shores. It is found exclusively at the Kanebo counter in Isetan in Lot 10 for now. Anyway, as part of their launching promotion, they had 15 exclusive sets of eyeshadow quads and lipsticks going at a special price of RM180.
I was lucky enough to pick up a set at this special price and this is a review of the lipstick – Intellectual Lips lipstick.
The lipstick comes in a square metal case. The metal is a brushed gold colour with the name Lunasol printed on the bottom part of the lipstick. When closed fully, it just looked like a little metal bar. Very elegant.
I got #10 – Pure Pink. The texture is nice. It is very smooth and feels weightless on your lips. There is no scent at all. Major plus in my book. The pigmentation is on the sheer side. #10 when swiped on the back of my hand looked like a dark rosy pink. On my lips it was a light pink with shimmer. It actually looked very natural and gave the impression that you weren’t slapping on the lipstick.
I usually can’t take pink on my lips but although this says “Pure Pink” its a rosier pink and is quite warm in tone which suits my colouring. I’d love to get more of these but the price tag is quite high at RM90 RM88 per lipstick. That’s the usual rate for most department store lipsticks though so if you are used to buying lipsticks from counters, then you probably won’t blink at the price.
If this was a stock and I was a remisier, I would call a buy on this lipstick. Absolutely worth it.
Pros: No scent, Sheer, Shimmery
Cons: Expensive
[rating:5/5]
Hmm it is indeed expensive to pay RM80 for a single color. does this color stay?
PB says: The staying power is fair but its sheer so what’s left is usually some shimmer and a touch of color. It doesn’t get stuck on my coffee mugs etc like other brands I’ve tried.
eheh wave I also got one, i think it is #19 nude /bronzy pink 🙂
