yes, as i promised, i will keep writing as much as i can since i'm on holiday. and somehow i can sneek out to take pictures easier than at home. okay, this sample is on my second samples haul along with mac red and sunny seoul. somehow pink lipsticks are tricky. true blue based pink will make me look sick, but warmer pink washes me out. i don't know how to find the right pink for me. perhaps trial and error is recommended. okay, based on mac website, lovelorn is a lustre finish and it's described as emotive blue pink.
the color payoff: being a lustre finish will give you an idea that this one will be very sheer. and indeed, it's sheer. i have to swipe multiple times to get the color shown on me (i use brush, probably that's why it's harder. probably using it straight from a bullet make it easier to show the color). on me it looks like baby blue pink, not too blue to make me look sick. just pretty like in the pan. a little bit pale though. probably this one will wash people with medium to dark skin.
the lasting power: i doubt lustre will stay longer on your lips. probably 3 hours top. also diminish with eating and drinking. leaves nothing behind as it's quite light color.
the formula: yes, it's lustre so it's sheer, not drying at all. it will make you forget that you put on lipstick since you can't feel anything. and yes, i guess this one will finish in no time.
will i buy a full size lipstick? well, i do like how it looks on me, not too blue, but it's very sheer. i have to swipe multiple times to get the color shown. well, if i have to spend my money on lipstick with that price, it'd better shown more easily, eh? but if you're looking for a nice pink lipstick that suitable for everyday use, then you should try this one, especially if you're light in skin tone.
