To begin with, I never meant this blog to be such beauty blog, nor I’m a beauty junkie. But I can’t resist to not write this review and spread this good news worldwide LOL. So pardon me if this review looks amateur, because........................ it does.
My Journey with Lippies
I do a really basic make up, and lipstick is one of them. For around one and half years I stucked with only Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color (in Cinnamon Spice) which I don’t really satisfied cause it doesn’t do the “Megalast” claim. I didn’t look for other ones cause I just didn’t care much about lips make up. Then I used Etude Soft Touch Auto Lip Liner (in Natural Berry or No.5) as my daily lipstick. I love it’s soft pink color. The color is just right, not too nude and not too intense. Oh, I love it! The texture is super light which is no wonder cause it’s a lip liner after all. But then again, it doesn’t last long.
Lately, I start to concern more about lips make up. I looked up for Indonesian local lipstick since it’s way far cheaper. I tried Purbasari Matte Lipstick (in Diamond or No.81). After all this long-time hype, I just have intention to buy. It does last long and has good performance against oily food. The color is intense. But the texture is thick and drying. I have to put my lipbalm on before applying it, or I’ll get flaky lips.
How I found MO Ultra Hi-Matte
Actually I found it on a whimp when I went to one of department store. I was looking for MO Intense Matte Lip Cream but it was still not available in the town I live (it sucks, right?). Then I was tempted to try MO Ultra Hi-Matte testers. I fell in love with the texture right away. It claims as ultra hi-matte but doesn’t feel drying at all. But I began to underestimate it’s lasting power. At the time I reached home, I had dinner. After that, I looked at the mirror and I still can see the lipstick! I was surprised.
Despite it’s non-drying texture, it can last quite long. It still holds well when I drink and eat. Even when I ate snack that I squeeze fingers to left no remain of the flavors, the lipstick were still there! When I ate oily foods (i.e gorengan), it did fade, but not completely fade. You still can see your lips colored, but not as intense as you first applied. Still, I find it very amazing for such cheap lipstick to beat that oily foods.
I finally bought it in shade number 004 (Red Heatwave) simply because this color is the only one that is not too pale nor too strong and suits my medium skin tone. I do still feel the color is a bit intense for me, while I’m looking for nude one for daily use. So, I use lip brush in applying to get very soft layer and soft color. And the lasting formula doesn't even reduce a bit!
