Those who know me can attest my love for lipsticks. My sister told me that my blog should have been named "Lipstick Swatcher"! (Now why didn't I think of that?) This one is from Jen of Jenponix's love package. (Thanks, Jen!)
I see Careline (together with Ever Bilena) a lot when I am in the department store or supermarket, and I like hovering around their counters since their products are all so colorful and tempting. This lipstick I have is actually the first (and certainly not the last) Careline product I own.
Pros:
- The base of the tube contains the shade name, batch number, manufacturing date, and origin of the product. You'd know whether you're getting a new stock since the manufacturing date is clearly printed.
- The lipstick is sealed. The ingredients are printed on the plastic seal of the packaging.
- I was pleasantly surprised to see that this lipstick is pigmented. A few swipes will brighten up your face in an instant. Layer it on for a more dramatic look.
- I am so loving the shade: bright pink with a tinge of purple. It looks sweet and it reminds me of the Spring trend makeup since it's fresh and bright. (I wish it were less metallic though; this is the only metallic lipstick I own since I'm not a big fan of that finish.) I'd pair this with groomed brows, black mascara, and light blush since the shade is already strong.
- There are 8 fun shades to choose from.
- It does not dry out my lips.
- It's super duper affordable!
Cons:
- The packaging is made of hard plastic that looks like it will easily crack when you drop it. (Be careful!)
- The scent of this lipstick is a little too strong. It reminds me of kisses, as in those fragrant little things I used to play with as a kid. Don't worry, it's tolerable.
- The lipstick does not last long on your lips. If you accidentally touch your lips, off comes the color. With normal wear, you'd have to reapply after 3 hours or so.
I like this kind of pink shade, it's the brightest pink lipstick I have in my kit as of now. If you're looking for other shades from this line, you're in luck since Careline Lipstick is available in 8 shades:
Will I repurchase?
- Yes, either in Strawberry Cone, Taylor Red, or Swift Red. (Corny as it sounds, I got swayed by the "Taylor" "Swift" shade name! Haha!) I'll have to see which one is the reddest of them all, because I absolutely love red lipstick.
Price:
- P100.00
Available at leading department stores, drugstores, and supermarkets nationwide.
Also part of my Careline wishlist are the following:
I think this is exclusive for Robinsons Department Store, and I seldom go to Robinsons Malls so next time I drop by, I will definitely stalk the Careline counters for this.
I'm not a fan of lip gloss, I swear. I just want to try this out since they say it's a magic lip gloss. I love lippies that change color according to the wearer's body chemistry/temperature. I find them amazing.
What Careline products do you have? Care to share? :)
Love,
Helen
That is one frosty hot pink shade! I'm sure it suits you well :)
ReplyDeleteThat (frosty) is the perfect description! :D I like bold lip color because neutrals make me look so pale.
DeleteHmmm... I want the Careline glosses too, kaso Rob Manila has two colors left. Wonder kung mas marami sa Galleria... :)
ReplyDeleteI used to have this too but I gave it to my aunt. Cute color pero metallic kasi e. And I agree that it smells like kisses. :P
Sobrang minsan lang ako pumunta sa Robinsons Malls, wala kasi malapit samin eh, puro SM lang. :) I'm not a big fan of the metallic finish, but I like it because it's bright and it pops. :)
Deletelooks good on your lips dear. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sugar! :)
Deletewow!you used it na pala?hehe.
ReplyDeleteang ganda talaga tingnan nang pink.hehe.
thanks.
Thank you for this, Jen! :)
DeleteHi, Helen!
ReplyDeleteBecause of this post, I bought Taylor Red! I was at SM Makati, and saw it. Tapos, I remembered your post and went "sige na nga!" LOL! I have yet to wear it, though. Baka bukas.
I love how local brands are becoming better and better. EB, in particular, has gone miles.
Wow! Thanks, Allie! :) I hope Taylor Red works out well for you. I'm planning to get a red shade from this line too, but have yet to visit their stalls. Tell me about it when you've tried it out. :D
DeleteThanks for this review. I've been eyeing this shade. And now I'm convinced that I need to buy it. Thanks again! =)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charlie! I hope this one works for you. :)
DeleteOoohh can't wait to hit my careline counter to grab this. I'm so glad it works. And, so cheap!
