Hey!! I'm back hahahah. Sorry I haven't been able to keep my promise about posting last weekend hihihihih
Anyway, here's my review of the two Shiseido lippies (Is that even a word?! eeh, meh) I got from BDJ hehehe
I'll be reviewing these two:
Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick in RD142
Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamourous Rouge in RD 396
Before everything else, I just want tell you guys that I was never a fan of lipstick before these products. My lips tend to dry a lot and I was comfortable to just using a lip balm and a tinted lip gloss (and RARELY use lip tints too when I feel like I want more color on my lips than usual). The only time I get to wear a lipstick or any other lip products is when someone puts it on my lips for me, as in when I am being given a makeover for whatever event in my life that's going to happen. I haven't even used the lipstick palette from a Clinique makeup set I have (actually it was my mom's but I literally begged her for it, telling her I needed it more hahaha). So trying these products is definitely a big deal for me.
I was actually really excited to try them out. I've had some reservations too, since it's my first time to willingly use one but when I did try them I was really relieved and very happy with the results.
I got this one from my February BDJ Box. It's a sample size of the Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick in RD142. I loved it already the first time I saw it! It's perfect for travelling, it's handy and can fit anywhere I want it to. I first tried it when I was at home, so that when my lips dry up I'd be in the comfort of my home and I'll be able to do something about it. Imagine my happiness when after a few hours of wearing it, my lips haven't shown even the slightest indication that it'll dry up. It felt natural on my lips and I felt as though I wasn't wearing anything on my lips at all.
And have I already mentioned before that I am a perpetual lip biter? I tend to lip bite when I'm nervous or when I'm thinking -- actually I tend to do it more when I'm not thinking hahah. But even with my habit of biting my lips a lot, I could still see the color on my lips by the time we had dinner that day and I've had the lipstick on since early afternoon. It faded a lot by dinner but the color stayed a lot longer than I expected it to. That counts for a lot right?
All in all, I'd say that my first lipstick experience was made awesome by the Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick. I would say that it's almost perfect but to be honest I was afraid of the shade that I got -- still afraid of it actually. I have natural dark lips -- darker than most girls -- and the shade I got was a matte red, I think (gaaaa sorry, I'm really bad with colors -- my boyfriend sometimes tease me about being color blind OTL). And I was worried that it'll come too strong on me since I'm not particularly in love with shades of red on my lips. So I'm saving this one for special events, maybe night outs with my family or friends. I would have loved to use it everyday but I don't think I'd be able to pull it off. I thought it actually looked good on me when I tried it, my boyfriend says so too but I think I'd be too self conscious to even be comfortable on wearing it on a daily basis. I think this lipstick a 4.5/5 product.
Next is the Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamourous Rouge in RD 396. I got this weeks after the first one -- won it from the BDJ/Shiseido 7-day challenge (yay!!). I did some research on it and I learned that the Maquillage is a Shiseido sub-brand that caters for a more natural look on its users (if I'm not mistaken, please do correct me if I'm wrong). The shade RD396 is a relatively new shade added to their Essence Glamourous Rouge, which now has 10 shades to offer.
What I first loved about it was its packaging. It's cute and classy hihihi. Next is it's shade -- it's perfect! I love love love it so much I wanted to use it everyday (though I'm saving it for when I go out during the day hihih). Again, it has a very lasting effect on my lips, though you won't notice the shade once it fades out, it lasted for a good 3-4 hours when I first used it. My lips felt smoother and plumper. My lips dried a little after it faded out but reapplying it was good enough to save my drying lips. What's more is that it's easy to apply, it has a unique applicator that makes it very noob-friendly!
I tried it both with my lip balm on and without. Honestly, I liked wearing it with my lip balm. It felt a bit too sticky for me when I didn't apply my lip balm first but that's just me. I like the perfect rouge lipstick better but the shade of the maquillage I got scores a lot more but that's just because I think I could use it more during the day because I rarely go out at night heheh. Overall, I think this one is a 4/5 product.
Here are the swatches of the two products, the one on the right(R) is the Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick and the left(L) one is the Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamourous Rouge.
