Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick | Nitty Gritty Reviews

Finally had the time to photograph and upload a review for my favorite lipstick up to date- the Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick. :) So let's start eh? :)



The Nitty Gritty: (As taken from Sample Room's page)

Achieve rich, long wearing color that glides on smoothly and doesn’t fade away easily. Lasts up to 8 hours! Always hydrating and never drying, this high-cushioned lipstick keeps lips moisturized all day, minimizes the appearance of fine lines, and stops feathering to give lips the perfect plumped-up appearance.

Packaging:





This is not your ordinary lipstick as it is made more slim and handy, with a see through "window" allowing you to see the exact color of the lipstick without even opening it. It's also sturdy and can withstand the horrors of bumps and bruises within a makeup kit or a mommy's baby bag. :) You'd just have to hear that "click" to know that it's locked. The slimness of the lipstick adds to the precision of application for me so it's a bonus!





Variations/ Swatches



This has quite a number of variations, from Queen Bee, Angelic, Headturner and so on.. I think this has give or take more than 15 shades, so I'm pretty sure that it'll be easy for you to get which shade you want... What I have here is the one in Temptress, a true red shade which I fell in love with so much that I bought a spare... :)

Here's a photo of my lips bare and slightly exfoliated:

Coverage/Finish

The finish is semi matte, but you can make it matte by layering as it leaves quite a stain on the lips. I usually do a double layer of this and then add translucent powder(lips, tissue then powder) to make it matte. It can really change my look from blah to WOW! here are photos to prove it.. :3



No makeup, what-so-ever. Just a cleansed, moisturized face.



With just the lipstick on.

Price/ where to get

PHP 350 for every 4g /Tupperware Brand Dealers

Overall(5 out of 5 )



I fell in love with this lipstick when I tried it out and borrowed it from Sam of Dishysammy for an event. After that I got my own sample at Sampleroom and then I ordered another one from a Tupperware dealer while it was on sale cause I know that this lipstick is it.



*Top: 1 swipe | Middle: 2 swipes | Bottom: 1 swipe, blotted with tissue



*Erased all with wet ones.

I love the pigmentation and the even stain that it leaves. For this particular shade it can last a total of 5 hours even after eating before you have to retouch.. #AbaMatinde diba? :)



Plus I feel my confidence is boosted whenever I wear this particular shade, and that it can really live up to it's name of "Temptress" cause I can really seduce my pichi, (and other unintended guys) with it. Instant wake up for the face as well, as with just one swipe of this baby and you're looking gorgeous already. :)

I'll definitely repurchase another shade and if my spare hits the bottom, then I'll get another of it too. :)
