Hi,
I bought these 2 lipsticks from ebay.com.sg, and the seller is of course, based in S'pore. This saves me a lot of money on postage. I spent a total of $65 (registered mail) for these 2 lipsticks, and considering that each is selling for $42 in the stores (or used to), I say I got a fair deal. I also made sure I purchase from a reputable seller (her user name is germ1123), and the whole process is very smooth sailing.
I got myself No 1 which is Nude Beige, and No 19 which is Frivolous Pink.
Here are some pictures:
From left: No 4 Sweet Honey, No 1 Nude Beige, No 19 Frivolous Pink, No 7 Lingerie Pink
No 4 Sweet Honey shown below is more 'tan' than No 1 Nude Beige.
No 1 Nude Beige is a really pretty nude color, I think this will quickly become my FAVOURITE nude/ skin color lipstick.
No 7 Lingerie Pink is a peach toned pastel pink.
No 19 Frivolous Pink is more pink, but still very wearable depending on your skin tone.
Yup, hope this comparison is helpful. If you get the chance to swatch them in real life, you find that the color may look harsh and unflattering, which is what I thought months ago when I first tested them at the counter. However, on the lips, the color blend in nicely with your lips and look softer. This could be due to the silky creamy texture of the product.
they're so pretty on you (: and they blend into your lips really really nicely!
