The elegant silver tube is housed in a black sort of suede material casing. I presume it is to prevent finger print marks and smudges on the silver tube. Anyhow, it looks very regal. I hardly ever see lipstick tubes come with their own cases, so this is the first.






I got my lipsticks in two colours, left would be number 6 Sheer Burgundy and right would be number 4 in Sheer Rosewood. The Sheer Burgundy one is pretty dark, and would probably take me a lot of guts to wear out. I still haven't mastered the art of wearing a red/dark lippie out.




One swipe is all you need for intense colour, but you can definitely layer it on to make it more intense. The lipstick is extremely creamy, and is really a breeze to apply. I don't apply my lipsticks with a lipbrush, because thats too much fuss for me :p. A closer look at it revealed very tiny sparkles which don't show up on your lips, but is noticeable from the lipstick itself. I guess that helps to enhance your lips in a way.




The Sheer Rosewood one is more of a day colour, definitely. It doesn't stray too far away from your natural lip colour, but just enhances it. It isn't translucent though, so don't get the wrong impression. The colours are glossy too, so if you are looking for a lipstick that gives a matte look, this is wrong for you.



The Sheer Burgundy one is really gorgeous. It's a sort of plum colour, but isn't the dark-dark type of plum colour. If you have really fair skin, this would be PERFECT for you. It's a striking colour, no doubt about that.

You can dab some onto your lip from the tube if you want a less intense colour. That's a good way of softening it, or you can of course blot away some.


It lasted me a good 4 hours, but faded a little when i ate my lunch. This isn't one of those non-budge lipsticks and you need to touch up once in a while, especially after meals.

It costs a lot though, SGD $58 for one lipstick so this is definitely a splurge/investment. I would say that it's worth buying, because how long does a lipstick last you? I should say a long time, and it's worth getting a good one to last you all the way.




You can get this at Paragon Metro or Ngee Ann City Takashimaya's Sisley beauty counter.
