I had always like Shiseido lippies ever since the first time I swatched them somewhere around 2 months ago. But they are horribly expensive! Much more expensive than Dior’s lipstick, if I am not mistaken. And Dior is pricey enough for me NOT wanting to own any of the stuff.

But when the 50% deal came along, I knew that it is the right time to buy those lippies, although I was very very broke at that time.

Check out the Sheer Climax Rouge in PK328.

Packaging is simple yet classy, yes? I quite like minimalistic packaging, provided that they don’t look cheap and crudely made.

Colour is a little off here, it isn’t as dark as seen on the picture, it’s quite a medium shade of plummy-pink tone lippie and it contains silvery blue shimmer flecks in it. Very very pretty.

I swatched 3 times for the top pictures, and once for the bottom ones. Notice how sheer it can be? The name says it all, Sheer Climax Rouge. No idea why the ‘climax’ though. Maybe you get high or some sort after applying? I wonder.

As you can see, the colour varies due to different lightings, but I would say that Pic 1 is the closest to real life colour. It appears a peachy pink colour under the other 2 lightings which I don’t know why. Maybe it’s my skintone? But nevertheless, it looks like a really wearable colour for everyone whether it’s for day or night!

However, on the lips, it’s very very different than the swatches I’ve done!

Look at them!

Picture taken with flash

Obviously, it looks like a milky lavender pink on me. Swiped twice on the lips. My lips’ dry and it’s cracking here and there. So naturally, the lippie sinks into the fine lines a little, which I think with by applying a lipbalm before the lippie, the problem will be solved easily.

Before you go thinking that this isn’t the colour for you, there’s one more pictures of the lippie on my lips!

Doesn’t it look wonderfully natural on me?

The last picture are the one that is the closest to real life colours on lips. A glossy plummy pink which goes on quite natural on me, as long as I swipe not more than twice on my lips. I wonder why is it that sheer on my hands but not as sheer on the lips? Weird right?

The lipstick lasted quite a while, with normal eating and drinking. Reapplication is needed if you want the glossy lips. Glossiness is gone by the time you finish your food.

I won’t say that this lip colour is great for all skintones, as I find that I need to be careful when I apply this. Anything too much makes me look weird and I think I look washed out and maybe even look sickly. Oh well, pink lipsticks hardly work that well for me. I’m just glad this I could make this lipstick work for me instead of throwing giving/swapping it away.

Have you got any lipsticks/ lipglosses that doesn’t work for you? Did you make them work for you or you gave them away to others who can use it? Share you stories with me!
