THE VERDICT:
Hey! Hey! Happy Friday! :D
Before going out to do work and to end the night by watching my BF's play called Moliere PMS by The Egg Theatre Co (please watch! Details HERE!), I will quickly swatch and review these new lipsticks made by my friend, Liz Lanuzo of Project Vanity, with Pink Sugar. While I'm at it, I should go and wear one of these to inspire my mood today!
PINK SUGAR PROJECT VANITY THESE LIPS DON'T LIE LIPSTICKS IN DETAIL
Pink Sugar's new lipsticks come in crayon form and in a smooth, demi- matte finish. Currently, they come in four shades.
Ingredients
Formula is rich and soothing; it's creamy and moisturizing with just the hint of hardness so it won't stray beyond my lip lines; someone asked me how this compares with its closest counterparts, Revlon Color Burst Matte Balm and Happy Skin Shut Up And Kiss Me Moisturizing lipstick: my take is these are a bit more balmy than Happy Skin's and a lot more moisturizing than Revlon's.
PINK SUGAR X PROJECT VANITY THESE LIPS DON'T LIE LIPSTICKS IN ACTION
LOVE AT FIRST SWIPE
Deep, rosy brown.
My most favorite shade in this collection. It's an earthy brown with a hint of rose to give complexion a bit of glow. This shade actually reminds me of MAC Spirit, one of my most favorite MAC lipstick shades.
READY IN FIVE
- Cool pink.
Ready In Five actually reminds me of Liz's website; I also think this is the kind of Pink that she's really into. For me, however, it's too bright and I wish it were a bit warmer. I think this shade will fare better on fair and medium skin tones.
WOKE UP LIKE THIS
- Pinky rose.
NOTHING TO WEAR
- Deep berry
Liz is the person whom I always see sporting deep plum lipsticks if she feels like sporting a dark lip so it's just natural for her to include one in this collection. It's your good ol' deep berry that you can rely on if you want to sport a bold lip. My only concern is it tends to look a bit patchy in the middle. This observation is not unique to this product as I have several berry lipsticks that have the same issue also - I don't know why it's that, but methinks it must be the pigments.
Finish is demi- matte; it's the closest thing to wearing matte lipsticks, especially if you have really dry lips. Staying power is pretty good as it fades gradually (and nicely at that) after a few sips of coffee and a meal. It has no scent and that's what I like about it. No dryness whatsoever experienced with this product.
Pink Sugar X Project Vanity These Lips Don't Lie Lipsticks have a great formula and that's what stood out for me. The shades are all classics, but with a personal touch of Liz.

Lovely shades! Pinakamaganda for me yung woke up like this kasi may pagka natural sya. Tamang tama kasi nahihilig ako ngayon sa lip crayons dahil madali lang iapply sa lips. I've been seeing a lot of reviews of this brand so mukhang maganda talaga. I'll buy one soon :)
ReplyDeleteThat's my fave too! :D
DeleteI'm so proud of her! I'm glad they got her to collaborate with them because I've been a fan for so long and she's one of the few ones I trust, like you, Martha! I hope you get to do something similar soon! I love Love at First Swipe and Woke Up Like This too! They look good on you (as usual)! 😊
ReplyDeleteIt really is love at first swipe! I saw this first on (of course, their site) and feel in love with it immediately. As much as I love liquid matte lipstick, it really is drying. So for days that I want to give my lips a break, I reach out for these kind of products. I'll try this one soon and the packaging reminds me of Revlon's but I like these shades better.
ReplyDeleteAnd these are more pigmented, IMO. :)
DeleteI was skeptical of this collection mainly because of the tube - i hate that kind of pink (LOL)! but when i tried on "love at first swipe" - it really was love at first swipe! There's really no hint of peach or rose on me, more of taupe-ish-gray with plum and I LOVE IT. I wear it everyday! SOme say I look masungit -- but I love looking masungit! LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha! High five! I want to look masungit sometimes especially when I'm alone or commuting.
DeleteIf I get to choose a shade that would be "woke up like this" such a very nice shade! will soon check this lippie out!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! :D
DeleteNothing to wear looks gorgeous on you and the shade somewhat reminds me of Rebel. I notice that Ms. Liz didn't include a red shade for the collab. I hope you have your own makeup collab too (P.S. punch of reds is a nice touch lol #beingpushy).
ReplyDeleteIf i come up with my own, I will definitely include Red! It's my staple lip color. :)
DeleteLahat ng shades bagay sayo Ms. Martha. I like most is the Woke Up Like This. Goodluck sa play ni BF.
ReplyDeleteThank youuu! :D
DeleteYou look great in love at first sight. Its rocker chic with the edgy earrings. Ganda ng kilay. #goals. What are you using nowadays?
ReplyDeleteThank you! K-Palette two way eye brow pen, Benefit brow zings, and pink sugar honey I'm good eyebrow kit. :)
DeleteThis is the one I've been waiting for! <3 Love At First Swipe looks good on you, Ms. Martha! Seeing your swatch, I would love to have Nothing to Wear and Love At First Swipe! <3 Plums, browns and reds are my thing! I wish they would expand the color palette of their collection and add some reds to it. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D Yes, Red sounds nice! :D
DeleteLove at first swipe looks really good pala on Morena! I saw it once in the Dept Store and swatched that shade, but it looks nude-ish. But on you, it's perfect! Thank you for reviewing this, Ms. M. I am now convinced to get one. :)
ReplyDeletewelcome! :)
DeleteI tried these when I was in SM Makati last week and I feel like they are a wee bit waxy? And dry? I hope these didn't dry out your lips in the long run!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! As per my experience, no it didn't. :)
DeleteNice shades~ I love Love At First Swipe and Woke Up Like This the most ❤
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! :D
DeleteI just got Woke Up Like This today at Watson's. Very flattering and an everyday shade.
ReplyDeleteAgree! Great choice!
DeleteI LOVE THESE SHADES! Love at First Swipe looks amazing huhu. I really want to get into the trend of wearing browns, and I think this color would be a good shade to start with.
ReplyDeleteYes! This is a great shade to ease yourself into browns because it's not intimidating. :)
DeleteSo this is the new lip crayon everyone's raving about! Reminds me of Revlon's. :) But in more cute-r all pink packaging is a wow for me. Hihi. I love the shades Love at first swipe and Woke up like this! I think cocomplement siya even more sating mga may Morena skin type. Perfect siya for everyday use, especially sa school like ours na bawal ang flashy and over powering make up. I like the shades since very natural siya tignan. :) Im jelly to those person who can wear plum shades like you Ms. Martha! Why bagay sainyooo? Hehe or di ko lang alam how to sport that plum shade, but perfect sya for night occassion. But one question, hindi po ba siya drying and waxy like other crayon type lipsticks sa first swipe? I really really want those 2 shades, i might try and buy soon too. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha thank youuuu! :D It's semi creamy and I could feel a bit of wax in it, but it ain't waxy to me. :)
Deletewow!!! super love them!!! pinakabet ko yung Love at First Swipe.. matte + pink = perfect lippie
ReplyDeletehope they will be available in any SM in south area!
Agree! :D
DeleteI love how they all look on you! I tried love at first swipe and I loved it at first swatch, but when I tried it on my lips, the color looked dead on me. :( I'm getting woke up like this instead, but it's been out of stock lately. I'm impressed by the longevity, especially those of the darker shades. I swatched all the available colors at the back of my hand, and it was raining that day and I was soaked through and through, and I was tasked to wash dishes, but there was still a nice stain left after all the water tests I've out them through! I hope they expand this collection to include more shades! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! More colors sound great! :D

ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for sharing this. :D
DeleteYou look really good in love at first swipe! It looks like the perfect browny grungy 90's lipstick that's super on trend right now. I feel like it's close to ofra's pasadena or mocha liquid lipstick. I love crayon formula lipsticks because they are so easy to apply and very convenient to store as well.
ReplyDeletePS: I'm so happy Liz released this collab with pink sugar! So happy for her! <3
Same! Happy for her success! :D
DeleteI would love to try the I woke up like this and love at first swipe shades! The Love At First Swipe suits you best Ms.Martha. I wonder when are you having a make up collaboration and what will it be, I think I might go insane if I won't get them right away LOL!
ReplyDeleteHaha thank youuuu. Looking forward to that! :D
DeleteThanks for sharing this po. As a make-up lover, I'm really fond of trying different brand of make-ups, especially when it comes to lipsticks. And your review helps me a lot as I also want to try this brand.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, dear. :D
DeleteMy sister gave me a matte lip crayon months ago, cheaper this brand, but unfortunately it doesn't last that long and after hours it makes my lips look cracked and dry. Thanks for this review, Miss Martha, I think I'm going to look for this lip crayon in SM Department store. Problem is, I'm still not sure what shade looks good on me. I think I'm going to go for Woke up Like this because that shade looks good on you, lol. I'm not sure if you already made a post about what lipstick shade matches your skin tone because I'm a first time reader, if you haven't I hope you'll blog about it huhu because it will be a big help for me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNice shades!I like love at first swipe the most. perfect for everyday <3
ReplyDeleteAgree! :D
DeleteWith a lot of beatiful shades, choosing will always be a dilemma
ReplyDeleteHay, so true! :D #makeuploverproblems
DeleteThe packaging of the
ReplyDelete"Pink Sugars x project vanity these lips don't lie" remind me of "Happy Skin Shut up and kiss me" lipsticks. It's so cute and adorable. And the shades are all so pretty. The love at first swipe and woke up like this really looks good on you Ms. Martha! Like MLBB shade. And the price is student friendly as well. I'm convinced to buy the 2 shades. Really good shades for morena beauty. Thanks for this review Ms. Martha! 😚😚
Welcome, dear! :D
DeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
