How long have I been on a hiatus? Damn, I miss blogging
regularly.
I’ve been busy these past few days, weeks, err... I’ve lost
track! And because of that, I have not been wearing much makeup on. I even
haven’t been doing my signature bold and thick brows because I’m always running
around and on the go! But, I can say, that it is all worth it. I love my job
and even though I’m like always exhausted everyday, I am having fun.
I’ve wanted to blog about this product because it’s one of
my current favourites and I was suppose to post this yesterday but my laptop is
kind of dying on me now and its keyboard got busted of some sort. Well, at
least, just a few of the keys but still! Damn, I need a new laptop. That’s my
next goal! Anyway, yes, I’ve been using this SanSan Creamy Matte Lipstick in
Nude Brown for quite some time now and it’s my current to-go lipstick when I’m
sporting a no makeup look. Now let’s proceed to its pros and cons shall we?
The Good Bits
First of all, I love the simplicity and sturdiness of its
packaging. As all of you may have known, packaging does matter to me. The
lipstick bullet is good too. I don’t know about you but I’m a fan of lippies
with hard bullets because it’s not prone to melting. And aside from its sturdy
packaging, the bullet of this lipstick is also quite sturdy. It has a caramel-y
sort of scent, which is okay for me. I don’t know if that’s the proper way to
describe it since I’m not really the sniffing kind of person but I do sniff my
makeup just so I would know if I’d love the scent or not however I’m not very
good at really identifying its exact scent. But I think it smells kind of
caramel-y which doesn’t bother me at all. And because it says it’s matte, I’m
very careful with regard to drying and chappy lips so I’ve nenver experienced
having dried up lips because of this since I use it on top of my lip balm. I
don’t wanna risk looking like a total idiot with dried lips just to test if it
will dry ‘em up without lip balm. LOL. The shade I got is perfect for a natural
no-makeup look so I totally love this lipstick as of now.
The Bad Bits
Give this product 3-4 hours for its good lasting effect on
your lips; but if you’d be eating, you definitely need to re-apply it because
it’ll be gone by then. Since it’s matte, just don’t risk using it without lip
balm on (at least that’s what I do).
Over-All
It is a decent lipstick, which I can recommend. I am giving
this product a rating of 8/10. It
doesn’t last long but I don’t mind re-applying it since it goes well with the
no makeup look I’ve been sporting these past few weeks. Oh, it also has SPF15
and Vitamin A, C and E. SanSan products have lots of vitamins no? I don’t know
the price since I just got it for free from one of my HBC loots but you know
how inexpensive HBC products are and this, I bet, is not an exception.
Go give this a try or do share with me at the comments

your current favourite lipstick?
