“This has a rich, dark red lipstick on one end and a foam tip with an iridescent powder on the other. I applied the pigmented and long-wearing lipstick, then topped it off with the powder, dusting it onto the middle of my lips. The result? A fuller pout.”
– Jaclyn Gunasilan, associate beauty editor
“This pen-shaped lippie was a breeze to apply – the lightweight, balm- like formula glides on effortlessly. I love that the colour doesn’t feather, though a touch-up was needed after a meal.”
– Charmaine Lee, beauty writer
“You get an opaque colour with just two swipes. This vibrant pink brightens my complexion and doesn’t dry out my lips despite its matte finish.”
– Carina Koh, beauty writer
“The best thing about this product is the pigmented formula; one swipe is all you need for a statement pink lip with a shimmery finish. The colour also largely stayed put after lunch. Also, it’s not too sticky for a gloss and felt comfortable on my usually-dry puckers.”
– Jeanne Tai, associate deputy editor
“I like that this lip gloss has a moisturising, sheer formula that makes my lips look fuller, and that the applicator tip is narrow enough for a precise application. It also has great staying power. My only gripe is the slight stickiness.”
