 THE VERDICT:

Being sick the whole week has its ups and downs; down because I can't clock in my daily workout and up because I get to swatch some pending makeups in my "To review" stash. Off the hook from Pink Sugar for this year is one of my favorites from them, Creamy Matte lipstick; 10 lusciously creamy demi- matte lipsticks that pack a punch of color and moisture.

PINK SUGAR CREAMY MATTE LIPSTICK IN DETAIL

Pink Sugar's maiden matte collection that features 10 soft, creamy, semi- matte lipsticks in bright, trendy hues; formulated with Vitamin E and Shea Butter to moisturize lips.

This lipstick looks cute and doesn't look like P349.00, although I think the cap will look more chic if finish were matte.
Pigmentation is medium to heavy, texture is velvety, and has a strong vanilla-strawberry scent that is a bit too much for my liking; I wish the scent will be toned down next time or better yet, changed into something more mellow or removed altogether. Consistency is smooth and soothing, and doesn't dry out lips, although it can highlight dry areas so moisturize prior wear; you also have to layer this lipstick on twice to get a more intense payoff, but at least it doesn't feel heavy on the lips.

Swatch overload below!

PINK SUGAR CREAMY MATTE LIPSTICK IN DETAIL

Catfight

- a hot pink shade

Catfight is your classic hot pink shade. Good thing it has a blue based undertone, which made it great even for warm skin tones despite its fluorescent finish.

Dupe for: Nars Schiap; softer version of MAC Candy Yum Yum

Diva

- A midtone true red

Diva is a universal red; it's also a midtone red that can be used day or night.

Dupe for: MAC Russian Red; L'Oreal Color Riche Pure Rouge

First Kiss

- A tropical peachy pink

First Kiss makes skin look bright and effortlessly youthful; a must- have if you have medium skin tone because this shade just looks good on that!

Dupe for: Nars Niagara; MAC Relentlessly Red; MAC Full Speed

Sangria

- A semi- frost dark wine

Sangria is a vampy shade that's made even sexier with a hint of frost; fyi, this is a Pink Sugar original shade!

Bombshell

- A bright orange red

Bombshell is a fiery red that's perfect for the summer nights; the hint of orange complements warm skin tones really well!

Dupe for: MAC Lady Danger

Desire

- A beige-rose shade

Arguably this line's most popular shade; Desire is a your MLBB with the right amount of Rose to give skin a blushing effect.

Dupe For: LA Splash Smitten Lip Couture in Lovegood

Royals

- A true purple shade.

When you want to be different, Royals it is. Also, if you have warm skin and you want a violet lipstick that doesn't look off, try this.

Dupe for: MAC Heroine; Illamasqua ESP lipstick

Bang Bang

- Vibrant tomato Red.

Bang Bang is a tomato red that's in between Diva and Bombshell; if Diva is for night and Bombshell is for the beach, Bang Bang is an everyday Red.

Dupe For: Nars Red Lizard; MAC Red

Selfie

- Pastel Pink.

Selfie is a bright Pink that my 2009 Blogger self would wear; I just feel a lil' old for this lipstick; it's great for themed parties though!

Dupe for: MAC Pink Nouveau

Rumor

- A soft peach.

Rumor is a spring- worthy shade that makes face look blooming and happy. Despite its coolness, it doesn't make teeth appear yellowish

Dupe For: MAC Betty Bright, MAC Flamingo

These lipsticks don't claim to be long- wearing, but I do find that they stay on and come off gradually, thanks to their lip hugging finish (yet they stay comfortable). I also appreciate that the colors are true to the tube and don't feel like Pink Sugar skimped on pigments. Fragrance aside, I think Pink Sugar is a great lipstick line overall; it's very affordable and products have very nice quality; as for the color range, I appreciate that they re-introduced statement brights and colors, but because of my age and current makeup preference, I will say that I wish they will release a neutral collection soon. In this batch, my faves are Royals, Desire, Catfight, and Sangria!
