So, upon my monthly purchase of Magazines to get me through, I picked up the October issue of Glamour SA, which included 1-of-2 colours of a lippie worth R80.
The lipstick, enrobed in a lustrous gold casing left me wanting to purchase 2 mags just to get both colours. I used my common sense and purchased only 1, which included the darkest shade of lipstick.
The lipstick is packaged in a mirrored gold rectangular casing; the lid opens at the very base, which I find a nuisance as it takes me forever to pry open. There are no labels, etching or stickers on the canister to identify what possible brand this lipstick could be. The lipstick bullet is appropriately shaped and the colour is a mixed berry hue. It’s a mixture of lilac, plum, pink and mauve. This colour I find is one I always look for as it closely resembles every woman’s natural lip colour.
On application, not much colour is given off and even when applied is very faint and almost un-noticeable. The formula is cakey and absolutely non-moisturizing. My lips felt drier after application than it did prier. The formula is non-lasting and makes lips feel dry and un-comfortable.
I do know that the best cannot be expected from a “free” un-known product received, but this is more a warning to you beauties not to purchase the mag just for the pure thrill of receiving an un-known golden canister of R80 lippie. It really isn’t worth the cost of the magazine itself to be honest and there are affordable budget cosmetic brands that offer far superior quality
