Here's a review on Collection Cosmetics Lasting Colour Lipstick in Queen Of Hearts

Price: P199.00

Bought From: Free

Other Locations: Available in all Watson's stores

THE VERDICT:

I think I've found the prettiest drugstore red lipstick in Collection Cosmetics' Queen of Hearts. Finish and texture is like a pricey lipstick, and its redness is quite vivid and true: doesn't come off tacky, diluted, or borderline pink unlike some too affordable drugstore red lipsticks.

Packaging is somewhat plastic-ky yet sturdy. Overall, it's pretty decent.

Queen of Hearts is a warm true red shade, which to me is a mix of MAC's Russian Red and MAC's Ruby Woo. It has a very, very slight tinge of orange which is very prominent on warmer skin tones. It's very creamy and absolutely non-drying.

However, it takes forever to set and transfers heavily onto anything it touches. The trade-off are the pigmentation and quality: It imparts full coverage in a single swipe, and I like how it makes my lips appear fuller and even by filling in lip lines. Staying power is pretty good as it fades gradually throughout the day, leaving your lips with a red tint. It feels like a pricey lipstick, looks like a pricey lipstick, and you wouldn't think that it's merely 199php only. Just make sure to blot your lips with tissue after application to remove any excess color and to help it set faster.

My kind of lipstick! The perfect red with the perfect affordable price! Oh yay, thank you Miss Martha! And thank you for the blotting tip. Maybe I always forget to do that kaya laging messy ang lipsticks ko. And by the way, do you have any recommendations for a great lip liner? Thanks!

Love the color. But I'm not a fan of red lippies since the day I tried it out myself and I realized it doesn't suits me well. I prefer nude and pink shades. :) Nice product, though! suits you well ;)

Really envy your lips! And that shade plumps it more. I will try this soon. Im just concerned about the ingredients. I noticed my lips are getting darker, is it becoz of i apply lipstick everyday? anyway. Hope it'avail in sm moa

MJ: Yes, lipstick ingredients could be the culprit behind the darkening of your lips. The sad part here is, the ingredients label is nowhere to be found on the tube. :(

Fati: Thank you! Hope you can try it. :D

Aww :( do you recommend any lip whitening product ( if there's such thing. Haha!) Or perhaps any lightening lip product. I'm not a smoker though my lips looked like there's brown lip liner in it. Hmp
