I bought this on sale at Dis-Chem a while ago for about R 40. I don't hate this lipstick, but I don't love it either. At the price I get it for, I don't really mind that it hasn't impressed me that much.
As Leandra says below, the formula is very creamy and comfortable. It provides decent pigmentation as well. I was definitely expecting it to be more sheer and balm-like. Although the formula is creamy though, it's not particularly hydrating. It doesn't feel like it's boosting my lip moisture as claimed, but, then again, I have EXTREMELY dry lips.
The finish is quite glossy and I'm more into matte or satin finishes, but this product is lovely and wearable for the days when I just want to throw something on my lips and go.
Although the shade is called Pink Truffle, it isn't very pink-toned and reads more brown on my fair skin tone. I never, ever thought I would go for a brown-ish nude lip as an ultra-fair person, but this lippie has expanded my colour horizons.
I will get a decent amount of wear out of this and I don't detest it, but I will not be repurchasing. I'd rather purchase something like the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector for my low-maintenance lip days, as the formula is longer-wear and more hydrating.
I have the REVLON Colorburst Lipstick - Mauve (005) which is a great colour for my skin clour and moisturises the lips beautifully but it's sheer looks was so not attractive on the lips. The lipstick piled up on the creases of my lips creating unattractive lines on the lips.
