THE BEST LIPSTICK BRAND

[Artemis]

Clinique lipsticks just does the job. My faves are their chubby sticks and superlast. What's yours? :)

[tr|n|ty]

clinique is not bad especially for beginners. I like their black honey almost lipstick. as for my favorite brand, I love MAC. They have the widest range in colors and textures. My current favorite is their lip lacquer line. I do know of some people who find MAC lipsticks making their lips chapped. to avoid that, always use lip balm. i've also heard praises for Estee Lauder and Chanel.

[winterswirl]

i like clinique...their "sweet honey", "butterscotch" & "black honey" (like tr|n|ty...:) )

but I LOVE mac talaga...i've been using this brand for about 6 years now...ever since 1st year college...:D

i love their shades (taupe-matte, sepia-matte, twig-satin, cosmo-cream, freeze-glossy, diva-matte) and how their lipsticks smell...:*)

[Cosmo]

Clinique's ok - i have Sweet Honey and it's a pretty shade and so is Chanel's infrarouge whisperlight lipstick (Nude).

[novalee]

Hey audrey! cha-ching! :lol:

I'm with trinity (hi grass:) )- MAC lacquer's my current fave too! Lately, I've been using lipgloss a lot and aside from MAC lacquer and lipglass, I like Stila lip polish in sheen and Bobbi Brown lipgloss in petal. They're all very natural, pretty shades! :beauty: But I don't think I'd buy another lip product from these 2 brands coz they're rather pricey :depressed: I'll stick w/ MAC na lang! As for lipsticks, I like MAC's Cosmo, Twig, Lame and O. They're a bit drying on the lips though. My cousin sent me Laura Mercier lipstick in apricot (?? - am not sure about the shade's name, don't have it w/ me right now) and so far, I'm liking it :)

Eto hatest ko - Maybelline's Wet and Shine! I was fooled by their great ads. Grabe ang panget! It doesn't even stay on my lips for more than an hour! :sad:

[Wicca]

I love Clinique. Their lipsticks don't cake and my lips feel moisturized all the time. The shades they carry are very classy, not flashy :D My Personal Picks: Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, Lip Gloss in Tenderheart and A Different Lipstick in Sugar Bean

[Bea_]

for me its estee lauder all day lipstick, its not drying sa lips n it lasts longer.

[sianshine]

i like using clinique`s sugar bean, anna sui for darker shades and mac's taupe.

[suntanned]

Right on the money w Black Honey Almost Lipstick!!! Loved that. Aside from that Origins (in Malt) is another big fave. MAC chaps my liups so I've been buying a lot of Revlon (esp Streetwear and the new Wet Shine line).

[BadGiRL]

I use different brands. But now I'm super addicted to MAC's lychee luxe. Heheheheheh... shiny shiny kasi e.

[LadyMarmalade]

my fave's MAC. funny how winterswirl here mentioned my top 3 MAC colors, taupe, sepia, and twig. im just wondering, are they 3 of MAC's most sellable shades too? :|

i never had a prob with chapped lips when using MAC coz i always put on lip balm first before the lipstick. i don't think i could ever take putting on just lipstick alone.

[yax-ytterp]

i like using MAC too... but it's really expensive when you buy it here sa pinas...

other brands that i like are almay, revlon and clinique... body shop for gloss.... :D

[suntanned]

BadGirl - if you like shine, try to get a hold of the new Maybelline line called Wet Shine. (I think I made a mistake earlier and credited Revlon for the line! My bad.)It goes on smooth and looks well, wet. I guess kaya siya Wet Shine di ba? My fave shade of it right now is Glisten Up.

[cLeVa']

i love the smell of MAC lipsticks too!!!smells like chocolate yummy...so yeah, MY MOST FAVORITE LIPSTICK BRAND IS MAC>>>ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE BRAND FOR ANYTHING IS MAC BUT since we're just talkin abt lipstick here...hehe...my favorite shades are ...VIVA GLAM III, SPANISH FLY, TAUPE and SISS...siss looks really nice with any lipliner since its nude it kinda takes the color of your lipliner....for lipgloss though my most favorite is TONY AND TINA'S lipgloss in DEVA...and BLOOM LIPGLOSS IN SMOOCH....bloom lipgloss smells good too...like orangey-chocolate...double yum....and for plain clear lip balm...body shops L:AST STRAWBERRY LIPBALM is the bizzomb....smells like strawberry bubble yum ....

Where you referring to Maybelline's Water Shine lipsticks? Kasi I bought that pero hindi naman ganun ka shiny like what they have in their ads....frosted type lang sya. I have the "Ginger Iced Tea" shade.

I am looking for the a lipstick na talagang parang wet yung lips....any suggestions?

[tr|n|ty]

melrosegirl-MAC's lipglass and lip lacquer are great lipstick lines that make the lips look like they're wet. i extremely recommend the clear lipglass(the one in a different packaging) which can make any lipstick look very "wet".

hi! :wave: i think taupe is one of the most popular MAC shade...together with the spice lip liner-it's a classic :) haha...

tr|n|ty
what's the difference between lip glass & lip lacquer? :uh: elighten me, please...

well, i haven't tried the lip glass yet, i'll try to get one and see for myself how nice it is :)

i also like MAC's paramount, siss (for blending with other lipstick shade to create a different color), spirit (somewhat like cosmo), verve...

i also like Maybelline's sahara & toffee...

:)

[cLeVa']

the thing abt the clear lipglass of mac is that it's kinda sticky so after awhile ur lips get kinda dry, it looks hella nice on ur lips tho!!!

[melrosegirl]

How much for the MAClip lacquer and the lipglass? If i'm not mistaken, Canada makes MAC products di ba? Is it cheaper to buy them in the US or here in Manila?


Since I don't have the money to splurge on lipsticks...if I can only get one...what would you recommend--lip lacquer ot lipglass?

[novalee]

I love MAC lacquer and lipglass but if you only have to choose one - i'd go for lacquer! It lasts longer and has higher gloss finish than lipglass.

It is more expensive to buy MAC here in Pinas. I bought my lacquer in the States (it's cheaper in Canada) for $16 and my lipglass for $13. The last time I checked (at a robinson's dept store a month ago), the MAC counter didn't have any lacquers yet, but they're selling the lipglass (w/ only 2 shades to choose from) for Php950. Btw, shades to try for lacquer are Varneesh (brownish pink) and Acrylicka (reddish brown). And for lipglass - Prr(pale pale brownish pink), Oh Baby (bronze), Nico (pale lavender), Explicit and Lust. These are the shades that I have but they have more. Oh yeah, there's one drawback - they are sticky! Pag humangin and di nakatali hair mo, lagot ka :lol:

I was told that MAC will open a new counter - w/ a COMPLETE line - in Rustan's. Dunno which branch though!

hi back!! :) i knew about spice being a classic but not the fact that its best partner is taupe! thanks for sharing that with me.

i have paramount but i don't use it anymore coz i feel that it looks too dark and reddish-orange for me. oh well. i guess it's one of those shades that don't look good on everyone.

[tr|n|ty]

ditto on that, novalee(hey kay!)

i'd choose lip lacquer...i actually went crazy the first time they brought out lip lacquer over at the MAC counters. I simply love it. You can go from sweet to vampy in any of their colors..i particularly use varneesh if i just want a girl-next-door look.

[ice]

Almay (mauve) - still the best!

[m'saia]

i was wearing clear lipglass one day to go to some function with my "boy-toy". i guess he'd never seen me with the clear ones before because he was staring at me like there was something wrong!!
i noticed it and was like "oh, does my gloss make me look classic and sexy, you know with the very wet look and stuff?"
he was like "that's lipstick?!! i thought you just ate a bucket of fried chicken!!".
i was cracking up!!! men--can't live with them, can't live without them--yeah sure!!

[LadyMarmalade]

:lol:

[melrosegirl]

O sige, you guys have convinced me to buy MAC Lacquer. I think I can shed $16 or so. But I need your help...kasi I'll ask my dad to buy this for me when he's in LA. He hates it kapag I let him go through all the shades. :lol:

Ang gusto ko yung very natural lang...what shade will you recommend? And I was wondering how sticky? I have short hair so I dont have to worry about the "hair-thing" :lol but baka naman it's so sticky na if I keep my lips shut for a few minutes eh hindi ko na ma-open...ala Keanu Reeves sa The Matrix! :eek:

[tr|n|ty]

i'd recommend varnish..it's a pale pinkish brown color.

[novalee]

You should try varneesh -you'd love it :up: It looks really pretty on the lips and u can wear it either alone or on top of ur lipstick. Ganda! :beauty: It's not THAT sticky :lol: Put on lip balm first before applying the lacquer.

[melrosegirl]

Thanks! :)

[PsycheBurst11]

I agree with you. Even their matte lipsticks don't feel dry on my lips. And they have terrific shades. :)

[BadGiRL]

My friend got me MAC lacquer and a MAC lipstick from Canada! :glee: Shucks..ang ganda ng lacquer! Feels nice even without lip balm! and pervette has this glossy thing na ang cute cute din tingnan! :up:

melrosegirl: I've tried Maybelline before.....and even with lip balm, my lips chapped.

Try channel's infra-rouge. Ganda! #41 soleil palpitant.
Guerlain's rose spirit is nice too. Not matronly as guerlain's colors tend to be. :beg:
try dior's 003. it's nice for everyday wear. super natural tingnan.
estee's tulip mauve is also nice.

[Artemis]

Wow, everyone seems to be hooked on MAC lipsticks. Maybe I should try it. I just stick to Clinique coz my lips are pretty sensitive. :D

you should definitely try MAC if you haven't yet...i've been a MAC girl since i discovered it a looooooooooooong time ago--it wasn't THAT expensive yet!!!ngayon the prices are soooooooo high....here at least and they don't have a wide range of colors...but if you're ever in hk, bangkok, the u.s, etc. etc...don't forget to stop by a MAC counter...just lookin at all the lipstick and eyeshadow shades makes me dizzy with excitement... ( exag!!! haha)

[Byte Me]

hello there! for me, Body Shop lipsticks are fine. :) cutie ng colors. :rolleyes: :*) :p :eek:

[Triglyceride]

Any Lipstick by Bath and Body Works and Body Shoppe :up:, they moisturize and they also smell nice.

Whenever my wallet permits it, :laugh: I use Lancome, Estee Lauder and Clinique. I like it when it moisturizes your lips, like you can wipe them off later on to find your lips soft and smooth. :up:

Just basic suggestions, if you have that classic tan complexion, go for lipsticks with an orange undertone (brown or red). Lipsticks that has a bluish undertone is a definite no no! Lipsticks with pink and blue undertones goes best with lighter complexion.

Just want to share, most of you probably know this already. After applying the lipstick, stick a finger in your mouth then let your mouth close around it and slowly pull the finger out *forgive my dirty mind :lol:* The excess lipstick would make a ring around your finger, it keeps the lipstick from getting on your teeth.

Anyone seen the Wedding Planner? Remember tha liquid lipstick J-lo was using? Well, I found out that if you put on a regular lipstick then apply a liquid lipstick on top of that (provided the colors go well together) would have that sexy shimmer effect ;)

:wave:@ BadGiRL

It's been awhile since I've had this kinda talk, I sure glad I'm ressurecting my kikay self :laugh:

:flwrface:

[novalee]

I've read somewhere that the lipstick she used in that scene was STILA's lip polish in sheen :pretty:

Yup!! I do that a lot...i put on a nude lippie first and top it off w/ MAC's lacquer in varneesh! Obvious ba na I'm such a big fan of lacquers! :grin:

[winterswirl]

ey tr|n|ty & novalee...

dahil sa kakasabi niyo "how good m.a.c.'s lacquer is...EXCITED na EXCITED na ako to go CANADA on AUGUST! :D

i just love lipsticks....:love:

[winterswirl]

PePs
that's news!!!!! :D

i just hope they're not oh-so-much-more expensive than MAC in the US/ Canada...;)

[tr|n|ty]

wow lola...exciting nga ;)

[tr|n|ty]

naka..shu will definitely be expensive EVER. as for my fave brand, a lot of the MAC stylists have filipino friends..sabi nga ng MAC suki ko he was in Manila training some of the Propaganda people. hopefully, they'd realize how big and profitable the Philippine market is.

[winterswirl]

PePs

coz when i was in 2nd year college, when you convert the = of a MAC lipstick sa Peso, P 450-550 lang dapat. pero they were selling it for P 900 ata....i mean, hello?????? :rolleyes:

buti na lang my friend sold one to me for P 300 lang...kasi hindi niya alam na expensive brand yun :winknudge:

tr|n|ty
SHU? haven't tried that yet eh...sana may free make-over sa Rustan's if ever....i'll test the limits of SHU UEMURA cosmetics...:glee:


lipsticks...girl thing...ever :D

[tr|n|ty]

winterswirl-Shu Uemura is a high-end professional brand. I personally don't like his lipsticks..it's too skinny and lacks depth and character. Best bets from Shu are their eye shadows..great exquisite texture you will never see in other brands..even from MAC. I highly..HIGHLY recommend Shu's Eyelash Curler..I LOVE IT. PePs is also a convert with the curlash(buhay pa ba yung binili ko for you, lola?). Shu's Curlash is hands down THE BEST and LAST curlash you're going to use. It opens your eyes like no other..i was skeptical at first but i was thoroughly impressed since i don't have much of an eyelash :lol: but yes, it did curl my eyelashes and it's really pretty..u can even skip the mascara. One of the must haves in any kikay kits...I usually just curl my eyelashes put a little mascara and dab some lip gloss on my lips and i'm done.

[cLeVa']

for realz, we're gonna have a real honest to goodness MAC counter here??..ok...i ahve to go there when it opens, buy everything, and then i can die!!!haha

im hoping though that they don't jack up the prices TOO much...i remember back in the day when i used to get their lipsticks for P600 and studiofix for P900...now lipsticks are P900 na!!!and studiofix is P1500!!!and they don't have all the shades...sucks...

but trinity, even if u **'t wear that much make up...try MAc's VEX eyeshadow...it's one of my favorites when i want to wear light makeup it's kinda irridescent...i looooooove it....

anywayz, we're supposed to be talkin abt lipstick right...i have a new favorite lipglosee...aside from TONY and TINA's DEVA...i love another shade called ENCHANTRESS!!!!

[tr|n|ty]

CleVa'-oh don't get me wrong, i just mentioned my everyday routine. I don't bother wearing anything more than that for everyday because it's such a hassle. You have to see my make up kit though, you'd think i was a professional :) i have Vex and most colors in MAC's eyeshadow palette. I was the official make up artist for my dorm in college(i might just give Kevyn Aucoin a run for his money :lol: )as for Tony and Tina, i heard their nail polishes and other nail products are good..haven't heard much about their lipgloss..

[novalee]

When I visited MAC's website last month, I actually submitted a question to their customer service forum :*) . I asked if they were planning to put up a counter here in Pinas...got a reply that said, "Good news, we're opening one in Rustan's Manila by June 1". So which Rustan's carries MAC?

Beauty Bar carries Tony and Tina - overpriced naman eh! As for VEX eyeshadow, i bought it coz i found the color unique and pretty - BUT, I've been having a difficult time applying it. Does it go on the lid? crease? - any recs trinity, cleva? :) Sorry, this is so off-topic.

[tr|n|ty]

novalee-since Vex is more of a frosty mix of silver/white..i use it as an 'eye-opener'. I usually fill out the lid with something dark..say concrete then i put a dab of something frosty, for example, Vex on the middle and mix it to lighten the color(best mixing tool is your finger!)...then i put little dabs of Vex on the corners of the eyes(preferrably the corners that are nearest to the nose)..this makes the eyes 'bigger' and more dramatic. the most popular use for frosty eyeshadow is using it just under the eyebrows.

[novalee]

thanks trinity! :mwah: I have 2 dark e/s from MAC - greystone and print so am gonna give that rec a try :) Isn't it fun to be a girl? I hardly wear any makeup during the day but it's so much fun experimenting on different makeup looks at home w/ friends.

Btw, winterswirl, have fun hoarding MAC lippies in Canada! :)

[gladys]

it has got to be l'oreal and christian dior...it really hugs my lips like no other lipstick can, i guess hiyangan lang yan.

[cLeVa']

with VEx...try also using a darker shade likeSHALE (its purple-y) on the crease of ur eyes then VEX all over the lids...makes ur eyes look bigger

[WICKEDQUEEN]

Clinique and Bodyshop for me. Never liked M.A.C and Makeup Forever.

[Lynelle]

for lipstick i like clinique,estee n christian dior. as for eyeshadow i prefer bodyshop..it spread evenly

[winterswirl]

tr|n|ty
really????? as in hands down to SHU's Curlash???? hmmmm.....if it's really that great, then DAMN, i'll get one! :D hihi...

ey girl, if you say you are better than Kevyn Aucoin, sheeeesh, when you come home, pls do me a favor.....enhance my somewhat-okay-face?

hihi...


cLeVa'
vex? okay, i'll try that one too...hihi....:D

novalee
thanks so much! i'm excited na...canada...here i come!!!!!! :winknudge:

PePs
elo :wave: papa-make over talaga ako sa MAC counter/ SHU counter in Rustan's :glee:

[Mitzel]

I like Prescriptives, they don't dry my lips and I get a natural look. I wish it'll be available in Manila soon (or is it?) coz my supply's running out :kiss:

[novalee]

I third the Shu Uemura curlash! It's really great! I didn't believe the hype at first but I'm glad i did!! It's the rubber thing that sets it apart from other eyelash curlers. I started using it just last year but it surely has become a makeup staple :p

[aubrey_may]

Hi winterswirl
san ka sa Canada pupunta? If your going to Toronto, kung ok lang sa yo, pwede kitang samahan...in that case we'll meet na rin if it's ok with you lang naman..c'ya around:)

[k.r.]

hi to the kikays out there! :wave:wow! i really learned a lot from u guys! :redsmile:
i haven't tried MAC, but i'm so excited to try it na! open na ba sa rustan's? san dun? sa ESSENCES? their new make-up store?
does the lip lacquer stay on the lips long? hindi kailangan mag-touch-up lagi? i'm on the morena side, what shade would look good on me? :flwrface:

:dance:

[novalee]

k.r. - i don't think any lipgloss will last you all day (or even half the day) but MAC's lacquer stays on longer than any lipgloss I have tried - Chanel Glossimer, LeClerc, MAC lipglass, Bodyshop (this one's the worst by the way) and Stila lipglaze. The 2 lacquer shades that I have - Varneesh and Acrylicka will look good on anyone. My morena friend has a shade called Sheena and it looks great on her, so you might want to try that too :)
I also like Bobbi Brown's buff, fudge and petal lipgloss too - got em as gifts - the shades are really pretty!! =) Sh!t i sound like a lipgloss freak.

[maxine]

i like urban decay. my favorite is pain/pleasure. they have a lot of funky colors but i guess you need to have a lot of chutzpah to wear them in manila :D

what about philosophy lipsticks? they have a booth/section at beauty bar. any reviews?

[muggle]

question-- how much is the shu uemura eyelash curler, i live in the
west coast so which stores would have them??

question 2- i am curious about the MAC lacquer-- you guys obviously think it rocks-- so what the heck, shempre ill try it. What color should I go for- im dark skinned and right now I use Almay Vintage Chianti (for the most part)-- and since it's summer I go for the "wet lips look" :beam:

[tr|n|ty]

muggle-u can get the curlash either at Sephora and i think i saw a Shu counter at Nordstrom in San Francisco and some Neiman Marcus stores. the curlash costs $13. as for the lacquer, you can never go wrong with Varneesh and Acrylicka.

[amber!!]

Fan din ako nyang Shu's eyelash curler! That was the first thing I bought when I went to Sephora!


Anyway, my fave lipstick brands are:

Bobbi Brown- it stays for hours. I use the Soft Rose shade and when it's about to fade, it's still nice coz it leaves a stained, natural look.

Lorac- it feels light and not dry, doesn't feel like you're wearing lipstick . I use the coral shade Suzanne (their lipsticks are named after celebs who inspired the shades like Winona, Meg, etc.) Then I put the Body Shop natural tint lip gloss on top.

MAC- great quality for a more reasonable price compared to the previous two. MAC also has more shades to choose from. I use Spirit along with the must-have Spice lipliner. Sayang nga lang, I didn't buy the lipglass when I was in SF. :bonkself:

Stila- i use the lip polish in Twinkle, a nude shade that I think goes great when you want your look to be focused more on your eyes, para hindi naman over ang dating diba! I also like using the lipgloss in Gold Shine but I don't use it alone. I put it on top of whatever lipstick I'm using, applying it at the center of my lips for that luscious, 3-D effect! ;)

off-topic: Like ko rin yung MAC's cheek gel blush (Tokyo, I think is the name) but i opted to buy the Benefit's Benetint for that natural, flushed look. It can also be used for the lips din kase.

[muggle]

trinity-- i live in seattle so walang neiman marcus but may nordstrom, I should know, i work for nordys.com hehe! and thanks for your advice -- I'm kind of a newbie in all this makeup stuff, when i was in manila i never wore any but it's not fun when people think you're 12 years old when you're actually on your early twenties. :)

[winterswirl]

sasakalin ko na kayo eh :lol: super want ko na tuloy umalis ngayon and fly to canada and crash a MAC Store to get the MAC Lacquer in Varneesh & Acrylicka :laugh:

I don't know what's my favourite lipstick is, kasi I use different brand, what I'm really looking for is that, I want my lipstik to last.anyone help, what lipstick should I use.:|

[tr|n|ty]

muggle-haha i think filipinos are often mistaken to be years younger than what they really are especially here in the States. I went to Atlantic City a couple of months ago and dealer at the Black Jack table thought i was just 15 :lol: I was wearing no make up whatsoever and i was wearing my ratty old grey sweatpants..i almost fell off the seat...let's just say i'm much older than 15 ;) Anyways, i haven't been to seattle since the early 90's!!!(oh yes, i used to be a big pearl jam groupie back in the day) so i wouldn't know where Shu Uemura products are found up there...i guess you can try Nordstrom's but pick the biggest or go where the rich people shop :lol:

winterswirl-i guarantee all the products i recommend..di pa ako napapaltos, tanungin mo si PePs! :)

[winterswirl]

tr|n|ty
hey, i TRUST your taste girl! :D kaya nga i'm so damn excited to shop for MAC products in canada na! *okay*

[muggle]

hi ulit- gosh kaka adik pala pinoy exchange

I will definitely try Nordstrom, I usually shop there kase I have discount( haha!! of course I like to save when I can) I wouldn't know where the rich people shop though, maybe I'll ask that girl who cuts my hair, she's my makeup guru :)

hala, you haven't been to seattle since about ten years ago? Well the grunge thing has definitely died if you ask me, but hey it's still a a great city!! hehe, para na kong walking ad ng seattle..

and youre right sobrang nakakapikon when they think you're younger .. I even had someone ask me, sooo what grade are you in?? Tama ba naman yon???

[aubrey_may]

I just got the MAC lacquer..its $19.50 plus tax so it comes to $21.85.

hi winter, naku sa Vancouver ka punta..layo ko dun eh. Anyway, enjoy shopping na ***. Beware of tax here in Canada...it will kill you bigtime...kainis tax **...k enjoy na ***.

[lemmy]

I personally love Awake lipgloss in Honeydew, it's not sticky at all and much better than MAC, I think...You can get it at Sephora...Oh and you can find Shu Uemura products at Sephora...

[cuzz]

i like colourings from the body shop :)

[gladys]

i'm starting to get addicted with l'oreal's perle collection...they're soo natural.

[WICKEDQUEEN]

That's what I also heard. :lol: !! 'Yon ang lipstick na gustong-gusto gamitin ng mga "Lalaking nangangarap maging GERL". Sorry drag queens - the natural beauty and charm of a real woman will never be compared to the "imitation". :devil:

I've tried Shu Uemura foundations (and lipsticks as well) but unfortunately, it's not made for the Manila humid seasons that we have even if you're based in Rockwell, Ortigas or Ayala Ave in Makati. For freezing European temperatures, they simply dry off in a matter of minutes and that doesn't have a nice feel for me. L'Oreal and Clinique has been the most reliable in those temperatures. :) Bad trip lang sa Clinique yung compact concealer e. Hanggang Europe lang talaga siya pwede. :(

Just one friendly tip if you're using Bodyshop lipshades - you just have to use it more often. With excess moisture, they tend to dry your lips off if you try to stop using it for weeks. It easily wears off.

Hiyee! Musta ka na? I dunno, but when I first tried the Lacquer MAC last April, it didn't mix well with my skin tone and lip chemistry. Lakas ko kasi mag-yosi e. Hehe. ;)

Clinique lipsticks are the best for me. I use All about Lips as primer for their lipsticks and I'm ready to go.

[WhItEFox]

Maxfactor Lipfinity because you can wear it all day and even if you wipe your lips after eating, the lipstick is still intact, no need to retouch!

[purple_madness]

clinique and lancome, although with the latter, you have to put up with the rosy lola scent :lol:
it's hella better than revlon though, coz that just plain sucks.
i think the description 'lasang make-up' was coined with revlon in mind :yuck:

[sterling]

Oks talaga yung Lipfinity! I'm just about ready to give away all my other lipsticks na nga eh!
Another one is Lipsense, also long-lasting, but it's only available in the States.

SEPHORA'S Glossy Lipstick, my favorite! there's no need for lip balms or lip gloss. it's a lipstick & gloss rolled in one. it doesn't make your lips too shiny or dry looking. at hindi rin magcha-chap ang lips mo after a few hours. tamang-tama lang sa mga pinoy gals... *okay*

sorry. i just realized that wala pa palang sephora dyan sa pinas. :( i learned about this product in france when i went there almost 3 yrs ago. wala pa nito sa u.s. noon. later na lang nagkaroon ng mga stores dito. konti pa lang ang mga branches nila sa u.s. so far pero you can order their products online at www.sephora.com. *pexadik* happy browsing!

Any comments about the locally produced lipsticks? Yung medyo "budget"? Medyo kuripot kasi ako eh...;)

[purple_madness]

VMV :teehee:
Fashion21. Seriously. I was looking for a 'suicide' lipstick for an event lst year and they had this liquid lipstick that clung to your lips like a psycho ex-gf (ha?) and the shade was really maganda. The colour stayed true to my lips kahit na acidic ako. I got the bottle for Php60. While I was raving about it to my kikay friends, na-realize ko kung bakit sha Php60 lang: naka lagay sa bottle "Smadge-proof Lipstick."
Go Pilipinas!

[Ice Burn]

I'm not fond of lipsticks and I'm one of those who'd rather go without them...But I do have some for some occasions and this is what I use...

MAC (makes my lips chap though, so I apply it lightly and sparingly not to mention it's heavy on the pocket)
Clinique (recently tried this and it feels great. I'm probably going to buy more of this)
Maybelline (I don't find it so bad but it doesn't stay that long however it is cheaper than MAC and Clinique)

[sterling]

:lol:

SMADGE-proof!
what do they put in it- glue?

Thanks, purple_madness! Smadge proof, ha! :rotflmao:

And psycho ex-gf? :lol:

I like the way you express yourself!

BTW, was in Watson's kanina, napatingin tuloy ako sa Fashion21 stuff. Wasn't sure though, which of the lipsticks they had was the one you were referring to, wala kasing nakalagay na "Smadge proof" eh :D .

[purple_madness]

wala na? how sad is that? :bigcry: or maybe narealize nila yung booboo nila. baka Smudge-Proof Lifstick na nakalagay. LOL.

yung Php50.00 glosses nila, my friends swear by although havent really tried it. yung lipstick nila na nasa tube, maganda, parang VMV din. bumili mommy ko kasi maganda yung kulay. it doesnt stay long, pero you can always re-touch. the thing naman kasi is, for less than Php200, magrereklamo ka pa ba? :teehee:

[HYPEROREO]

Clinique. I'm a big Clinique fan actually. :glee:

[Lynelle]

I bought one Tony and Tina Lipgloss at Beauty Bar and I'm so satisfied with it :)

am cool with 'lipfinity' by max factor

wear it all day *okay*

After going through two tubes of Lipfinity, I've realized that it's really malapot, and feels thick and yucky on the lips.
Revlon Colorstay Lipshine is way better-it goes on smooth and even. But it's becoming harder and harder to find at the malls in Manila these days.

[JoYcE`TiK]

i gave away all my lipstick tubes when i got my mac lip x8 :) pretty pretty colors. i am very happy with it.

[sneezy]

i like the t. le clerc na lipstick kasi it stays on your lips and habang tumatagal sa lips mo parang ang ganda ng pagkakablend

[Iron_Mask]

try SHU UEMURA lipstick. it glides smoothly, no blothchy feel elsewhere, ang gaan dalhin.

i heard from some PEXers they will be available in Rustans comes Sept. hindi nga lang maganda ang packaging like Chanel or Dior but who cares?

We want results, di ba? you should really try it...

gosh, i use so many lip products that i can't keep track of them!!!
i used to have this really bad habit of picking at my lips til they bled [i'm not kidding...i must have a penchant for pain or something] :rolleyes:

but since i realized that lipsticks look HORRIBLE on wounded lips [the product doesn't glide on easily], i resisted my urge and started using nivea lip repair. really works!

and now my fave lip products:
- petroleum jelly. the best for moisturizing and soothing.
- clinique fizzy. no matter how much i put on, it always looks just right. the color is a great dark brown with shimmery stuff in it.
- body shop duo lip gloss. although i'm partial to one end of it - the clear lip gloss. gives you a great i-just-drank-some-water wet look.
- this yummy choco-vanilla lip gloss from a makeup store in paris [forgot the name, it's probably not sold here.] it's so yummy-smelling, i want to eat it up!
- MAC lip liners, so easy to put on. and almost any shade of their lipstick.
*okay*

Anyways...Shu Uemura is opening in October. Not September.


What I like about about Shu Uemura is their range of colors! They have ALL colors, and they don't seem to discontinue any. There's this particular shade of orange, that I have not found in any other lipstick line.
Still, their best product is their eyelash curler.

[rachelt12]

my lips have this own tendency to dry out kaya for me, the best one out there is LANCOME Rouge Absolu (Creme)! i use rose petale and the color really suits me. i got it from my aunt who lives in the US.

but above all, Primordiale Levres really got me hooked! Believe me, you won't ever need to wear a lipstick! This is the kind that you wear and makes you feel really sexy! Try it out sa rustan's shangri la! Promise! No exaggeration!

about Primordiale Levres (http://www.lancome.com/_singapore/bdd/jnew_display.asp?lg=en&cn=SG&product_id=217)


YSL is really good, too........and i'd like to try out the MAC you guys are talking about din.

i dont think Sephora delivers to the Philippines. my sister tried to shop online but they dont deliver nga. :(

[melrosegirl]

am i the only one who hates lipfinity? it doesn't last all day...plus i get lipstick cracks on my lips...plus its hell to get rid off when you want to retouch!

[kath001]

max factor:)

[iritada]

I love Almay lipsticks. Esp. the shade delight.
Looks very natural, i get compliments when i wear it.
Clinique different lipstick in tenderheart and black honey.

[iritada]

melrosegirl

i don't like it either. It was long lasting all right. Too long-lasting. Super hirap tangalin! i took a bath and it was still there! Smeared
some on my hand, and i had to use alcohol pa to take it off. :down:

[lite]

ESTEE LAUDER ... fave lipstick ... just enough moisture ... just enough coat ... Perfect!

You are not the only one who hates it. try visiting greenhills, and those little stores in the malls that sell imported stuff, and you will find bunches and bunches of unsold Lipfinity.

*okay*

I have this - and it is a very 'your-lips-but-better' color. - nice.

my fave right now is Chanel Hydrabse Lipstick in #11 Sirene.
it looks very bright purple-y, fushia, boungavilla(sp?) like in the tube - but when put on - OMG!! it's a gorgeous 'natural-pink-lips' color that flashes gold - absolutely BEAUTIFUL... *okay* part of Chanel's Fall 2002 color story.

I like this so much I bought another one for back-up. :)

hi there!

i've heard so many nice mac reviews here ...

any comments for l'oreal shine delice?
