LIPSTICK | Tatcha Plum Blossom Lipstick

To be honest, the formula and color of these lipsticks are nowhere near the price. But the packaging is BEE-U-TI-FUL. The main selling point for me.

These are probably the heaviest lipsticks I own, and I gladly shelled out the $$ for the two (below)

Gotta hand it to Tatcha for their sophistication and marketing

Creamy, fragrance free, but nothing too special

$55 for 3 g

Limited edition and sold out as of 8/28/17

Verdict

I saw xteeener wear this a while back in a tutorial. I love the vampy reds for fall, this is a bit darker than most of my lipsticks, but I'm looking forward to wearing it. The lipstick glides on very easily with color, but I can see it sliding off if you wear it for longer. I would use a lipliner to extend the wear. However, the packaging of these lipsticks are not airtight at all, I've had mine for maybe 2-3 months and it's already getting kind of dry where it drags on your lips.

For my complexion this might be a bit dark, I'll try to make it work with some blush or bronzer.

Repurchase?

No.

Would I recommend it?

Yes. It is a great line to try crazy colors in since it's only $2, but you'll probably have to toss it after a year since the packaging isn't air tight.

Clinique Different Lipstick in A Different Grape

It's a bit more purple in real life, I tried taking multiple angels w diff lighting and this is the best I could get

Pros

Creamy

Cons

Not too long lasting

A little sheer, have to build up color for what's in the bullet

Price

I got this in a gift with purchase

$16 for the regular packaging

Verdict

I've been into darker lip colors lately, so I searched through my lipstick collection and found this. I think this is a really nice berry color, very creamy, but I think I still like reds better.

Repurchase?

Unlikely, lipsticks last FOREVER for me

Would I recommend it?

Not in particular
