It's all in the Lipstick


Three things I can't live without? A mobile phone, a hanky, and a lipstick... Yep, even a perfectionist like me can be so "mababaw" sometimes. Lipstick is one of my most priced possessions. Why? well, it just so happened that I wasn't blessed with the cherry red kissable lips that lure every man. So for the less fortunate ones like me, lipstick (a good one) is a must-have. I've tried almost all lipsticks in the market... ofcourse I started with the cheap ones and I slowly worked my way up to ones that drains the pocket. My first criteria for a good lipstick... It should stay for hours in my pale lips... survive anything from a sip of water to a lip locking marathon... Most matte types can handle such an ordeal, but they're so dry that my lips seem to suffer from el nino... Even Revlon's first colorstay lipsticks were like that. Good thing they came up with the soft and smooth version. I was a bit hesitant to get one at first coz I thought spending 600 bucks for a lipstick was too much.(I'm not kuripot, just a smart buyer) But then I realized that if I add up all the cheaper brands that I threw away coz I was not satisfied... mas mahal pa ang nasayang ko... So I just closed my eyes and took the plunge... Turned out to be a very good decision... Got the smudge-proof formula that I wanted plus the shade that matches me perfectly... So the next time my lipstick runs out, I don't try any other, I only look for Revlon colorstay in fabulous fig shade and pout my way into the world... MWAH!
