My Thoughts:-

I personally don’t know what to make of the texture and feel of KISS ME HEAVY ROTATION lip gloss. It doesn’t feel like a lip gloss or a lip balm. It has the consistency of OCC lip tars, without the intense color payoff.  Also this lip gloss gets a little drying after an hour and there is not much of a shine. It creates more of a matte nude lip and a good lip scrub as well as lip balm is a must before applying this lip gloss. The color is a light peachy pink when you swatch it but on my lips, it does look very washed out alone and when I apply concealor, I find that it takes on the shade of the concealor. I find myself having to use either my CandyDoll Lip concealor or MAC’s Lipglass ( Lust) to get the best out of this lip gloss.

 

Hello! I don’t see any resemblance with the lips on the packaging and my own lips. I am wearing a thin coat of lip concealor & a dab of KISS ME in the pic above. This was taken in natural daylight. Although I’m not loving the texture of KISS ME, I have to say that it looks better in photograph than in real life. I find streaks of unevenness if I talk or drink, or if I put on a little too much gloss, so that kinda makes me paranoid about checking my lips ever so often if I do wear this lip gloss out.

 

 

 

Some people like the twisting - OPEN /CLOSE action of KISS ME packaging. Well, I hate it. I have a memory of a fish and if I were in a rush, I would twist it and leave it that way and put it back into my pouch and that’s the end of it. I can just imagine lip gloss oozing out from my pouch and I would be kicking myself and threatening to just dump this lipgloss in the nearest bin!

I would leave  KISS ME at home and never take it out because I know just how careless and forgetful I can be. I’ve read other reviewers who adore this packaging but I personally don’t care for it. I am really old school about how lip glosses should look!

Well, I’m not crazy over this lip gloss at all. I don’t quite know how it will hold up in public cause I’m a little hesitant about looking like a washed out ghost and having to check my lips a billion times is a big turn off. I’m hoping this is one product that I will hate and than grow to love after a while. A girl can wish!

I’ll probably update on Kiss Me if I do fall in love with it though :-)

Lippy Addiction *-*

Lipstick was the very first cosmetic that I ever fell in love with. I can’t describe the feeling when I first applied my mommy’s red lipstick but I knew then that I wanted tons of lipsticks when I grew up.

Some people have pictures, furniture, dairies, to remind them of different stages in their lives and I have my LIPSTICKS. The lipsticks I keep for ages,  bring back precious memories for me and I just can’t throw them away!

As a poor  University student, I would really save up to buy Anna Sui, Shu Uemura, Biotherm, Chanel, MAC and MUFE. I was totally into buying “branded” lipsticks and glosses and it was usually a reward after my exams or tests! Yes, I needed beautiful incentives to get through school, cause it was so damn boring. After my Uni days, I spent a yr in MUNICH and all I had was the mainstream  brands such as MAC, YSL, maybelline and etc… I got to try some of the German made lipsticks from Manhattan and Art Deco. Still, I was super deprived of the Asian and regular brands that were easily avaliable in Spore. So, now that I’ve been back home  for 3 yrs, I totally appreciate the variety of lippies that I can get super easily from a local drugstore or shopping centre.

I have tried quite a number of lipsticks and glosses and nothing beats ANNA SUI, YSL and SHU UEMURA LIPSTICKS and MAC & Japanese LIPGLOSSES:

Here’s a Checklist for things I bear in mind when I go lippy hunting

• PACKAGING – If the lipstick is cheap, I don’t expect maximum durability and beautiful packaging. It still has to be relatively decent though. If I buy expensive lipstick, it should be able to withstand some serious tossing around in my bag. Also, it should look pretty gorgeous ( just like YSL Lipsticks).
• Avaliable  Testers that I can swatch with  is a must. I like to have a feel of the lippy b4 buying it.
• SMELL – No fishy, plastic smells pls. This is sometimes why I steer clear of  cheaper lipsticks. They can smell pretty bad sometimes. Whereas MAC glosses smell like vanilla even after a long time. I actually adore the smell of Anna Sui Lippies too!
• COLOR REPRODUCTION – I like what I see in the tube to be very close to what I have on my lips, bearing in mind that I do have pigmented lips.
• CONSISTENCY – I prefer lipsticks which aren’t too sticky and creamy because they come off very quickly. I think I have slippery lips.
• COLORS – I usually steer clear of very very dark lip colors cause I look very old with them. I used to be into  brown shades but now I like pinks and nudes. Shades of purple seem to suit my slightly pigmented lips really well too.
• PRODUCT – I had a creamy MAC LIPSTICK that broke!  It was so soft, it practically melted and fell out the tube after 3 weeks ( I didn’t even use it everyday). MAC’s matte lipsticks don’t break as easily. Shu Uemura (SU) Lipsticks on the other hand have lasted years and years for me. Everything from the  ink on the packaging to the plastic casing and lipstick is still nicely in tact.
• PRICE – I have a different budget from time to time.

Here’s some of my lippies from my makeup stash:

      

 

* Shu Uemura Colors are a little dated cause they are a little old..hehe.. can’t bear to throw them out.. I love the texture and look of the lipstick. Also, I have yet to find a close match to Anna Sui Matte Lipsticks *

I pretty keen on growing my nude/ pinkish/ purplish collection :) I have MAC’s Honey love, Blankety and myth, Revlon’s Nude Attitude and some OCC in mind too.. you guys have anything else to recommend ??
