CLIO: Virgin Kiss Lipnicure (#8 Guilty Pink)

Ever since YSL Glossy Stains (Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres)(I will link my previous post below) launched (a while ago), it seems to cause a trend in the cosmetics world even for the Asia's brands to create some sort of different versions of very pigmented and long-wearing liquid lipsticks. I do really love my YSL glossy stains very much still and still intend to get a few more but maybe finding some cheaper versions.

Even since then I was a bit obsessed in trying the cheap alternatives (example: L’Oréal Shine Caresse which was a big disppointment), so far still not much luck in finding something similar or as good as the YSL ones. I was excited when I saw that Clio a korean brand had their version of liquid lipsticks and decided to pick it up to try, I'm sill pretty unsure about how I feel about them yet.

*P.S : They've a lip primer and lip top coat (a gloss I think) which I didn't felt I needed to get because I could use my own lip balm and gloss.

The packaging is cute but a bit too stubby and fat.
CLIO: Virgin Kiss Lipnicure (#8 Guilty Pink) (SGD $19.90) is a bright fuchsia pink and it is budge-proof, pigment-intense and dries down to a matte finish.The doe-foot ergonomic tip applicator is shape slightly curve that simulates the sensuous touch of a finger.

Before you apply the Lipnicure remember to put on some lip balm, it glides on smoothly and doesn't dry up that fast so if you can correct any mistakes you made. After this stuff sets, it ain't going anywhere.They are so stubborn that Clio actually sells a remover just for them, but you could use your usual waterproof/oil makeup remover to remove them and even that you could still see the beautiful stain on your lips after that.

There are 2 things I didn't like, the first is how it feels; there is like a hard and slightly dry but a bit tacky mask on my lips and can flake off if I didn't put on any lip gloss, so it's very important to put on that gloss or you could just get their top coat. Second is the price, Me and my follow Asians in Asia still wish that prices of any cosmetics will be a lot more cheaper like the prices in USA *sighs*.

Overall, there is really nothing bad about this product. I might just have to get their lip primer and top coat to try if they feel better together on my lips.

Happy weekends!! Hugs & Kisses!!

Happy Sunday everyone!! Lets dive in straight for another YSL reviews.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres, is not a exactly a lipstick, not exactly a gloss, but it is a liquid glossy lipstick stain. A lip product that combines the texture and shine of a gloss with the long wear of a stain. It is formulated without 

                                                                        - Parabens

  - Phthalates 

The applicator has a slanted tip with soft short bristles. There is a slight fragrance but not over powering, during application the consistency feels very pleasant, watery, cooling, and after the application the finish looks very glossy.

What do you look for in lip products? 

The most important factor for a lip product to me is not drying out my lips, I have very sensitive lips and have a tenancy to peel and flake. With that said, well done YSL! My lips stayed well hydrated and wears off after 5 - 6 hours to beautiful natural stain on my lips.

YSL Glossy Stains: Rouge Gouache (#11) (SGD $45) is a bright vibrant red with a slight blue undertone. It glides on smoothly like a dream and is very opaque with just one swipe. The consistency starts out watery but develops into a slight tacky gel-like formula after 5 minutes. It leaves a beautiful stain by the end of the day.

YSL Glossy Stains: Rose Pastelle (#18) (SGD $45) is a pastel light pink quite similar to their Rouge Volupte Lipstick: Lingerie Pink. I might not be so lucky with this shade, on my lip it looks patchy, sticky and uneven. Just could not get it to apply evenly! It seemed to stick, settle patchy and doesn't leave any stain (seems that all light colors doesn't leave any stains), I was quite disappointed and was not impress with this color at all. It just didn't work out as well as Rouge Gouache (#11).

Overall, YSL Glossy Stain is an incredible product, the light comfortable wear, the glossy finish, the amazing wear time,etc but just avoid the light pastel shades.
