i was in the verge on depression stage couple days ago, and then we decided to stop my birth control pill. and i've been off the pills for two days now, and i feel better now. soo.. i have a bit mood to go shopping. after all, three of my lip butters are expired now, so i have to find replacement.
since i've been into skincare nowadays, i have no knowledge about makeup world. and since dollars currency is still high, i have to forget nyx lippies, though i want to try them badly. but i guess it can wait. so, i decided to go back to revlon. cheap but okay for me. i was in no mood to try vibrant color, since i know it will be a waste, so i decide to buy everyday color but in different group, orange, pink and probably mauve.
and then i saw the revlon counter, and they have this display full of new revlon crayon lipcolor. oh, i don't know that it's been here already! last time i checked, the only crayon that i found was the balm stain. now there are three types of them right here. ooo.. i'm super excited. but unfortunately, lacquer balm has most options at the moment, and only one matte balm, and i don't like the balm stain options. soo.. i pick one lacquer balm. mostly they are in the pink family, and i've already had 2 pink lipstick already, so i have no intention to add another one. so i pick demure. i want to replace my old peach parfait lip butter which i love, but unfortunately, it was melt easily, so in hot weather like now, it won't be wise to buy it again.
okay, this is what they said about it:
high shine lacquer, moisture rich balm. a lacquer finish that's beyond brilliant. balm that's beyond comforting. our triple butter complex of shea, coconut and mango butter nourishes lips. in 10 collectible, craveable colors : demure, coquette, vivacious, flirtacious, ingenue, coy, provocateur, whimsical, tease, enticing.
the product: it looks like crayon and used like crayon. but it has this screw bottom so you can screw the crayon up without sharpening it. the body of the crayon indicates the color of the lacquer balm. and there's a sticker with the color name at the bottom. i always love brands who name their shades. it's easier to find and memorize, than just give them numbers.
the color: since i pick a pretty soft color, i have to swipe couple times to make the color shown. but there are other colors which are more vibrant and easier to make the color shown. each one have a different degree of shine. demure has little glitters in it and even when the color's gone, the glitters stay still. it's very similar to the balm stain. the BA said that the lacquer is shinier than the balm stain. fyi, demure is a pinkish nude shade, pretty soft.
the staying power: since it is high shine lacquer, it's easily vanished. especially with eating and drinking. having a couple of revlon lippies, i guess lighter color vanish quicker than more vibrant colors.
the scent: there's this strong peppermint scent and taste, so i can taste mint on my lips. it's pretty cold like having a mint candy, but then it leaves hot trail. i hate it. i hate mint candy. why do they have to give peppermint stain to a lacquer balm? can't they just give them fruity scent and taste? well, probably it's me who hate it.
overall, i love this lacquer balm. probably if i have finished my pink lipstick, i'll buy another one in pink color from this line.
