Hello there my lovely friends! For today's beauty review, I will be sharing to you my thoughts of this very affordable Bobbie Cosmetics Lipstick. This, by the way, is my first time to try this makeup brand. I initially wanted to try their concealer but when I was already in their kiosk, I realized I still have a lot of concealer in my makeup collection and it's not a good idea to buy another one to waste. Thus, I decided to check their lipsticks and saw these cute pink tubes. I picked up one of their matte (LS 06) and non-matte (LS 01) lipsticks to try. For this review I will feature their matte lipstick in LS 06. You will know it's matte because it has this sticker indicator on the lipstick cap. Haha di naman masyadong obvious diba? :) For the Bobbie Cosmetics lipstick in LS 01, I decided to set it aside for my up coming giveaway :) Yes, you read that right. My first blog giveaway will happen very soon :) Oh! by the way, these lipsticks were featured on my latest beauty and scent haul here. PRIZE, WHERE TO GET, AND PACKAGING Bobbie Cosmetics lipsticks are priced at Php 85 and each tube contains 4g of product. You may get these from Mini Stop Convenient Stores, SM Manila, and Watsons at SM North Edsa. I got mine from SM North and I suggest that you also buy in SM. I visited several Mini Stop stores in Manila and was disappointed to see the Bobbie Cosmetics products being sold there. All of the products were full of dust and looked dirty, some were even unsealed and most are old stocks based on their manufacturing date. For the packaging, the lipstick is contained in a plastic pink tube with a transparent plastic cap. The packaging looks cute but obviously not sturdy. It is the type of plastic that easily cracks so it is a must to handle it with care :) Ingredients CONSISTENCY AND SCENT The first time I used this product, I immediately noticed how creamy the lipstick is. And since it's creamy, application was an easy breezy task. On the other hand, I didn't like the smell. It has this sweet yet unpleasant smell and I also didn't like that the scent lingers. So if you are a scent sensitive person, then you may not like this lipstick. SWATCHES See below the arm and lip swatches. Bobbie Cosmetics LS 06 for me is a semi matte red shade of lipstick with good pigmentation. One swipe of this lipstick would already give you good color pay off. The lipstick says that it is matte but when worn, it may not look 100% matte as it looks a little glossy, super konting glossy look lang naman :) LONGEVITY As practiced, I tried this lipstick on my regular day in the office to check its longevity and below is the result. 8:10 AM- Freshly applied and here's how it looked like. That's just one layer of the lipstick, by the way. As mentioned above, it looks a little glossy which made my lips look healthy :) 12:48 PM- After lunch and occasional drinking of water, here's how it looked like. The only sight of the lipstick can be found on the outer outline of my lips, if that makes sense haha :) 6:05 PM- 5 more minutes to reach the 10th hour of me wearing this lipstick and here's how it looked like. As you can obviously see, no more trace of the lipstick can be seen. Note: You may notice that I was already wearing a different top. I have to be honest that I forgot to take pictures for the last update on the day I was doing the road test of this lipstick. So I wore the lipstick again on the next day and just took pictures at the end of the day. I guarantee though that the result was the same. Promise :) I look sick? Yes, I was sick :) FINAL THOUGHTS
For those who are starting to explore makeup and for those students who would want to have dainty looking lips without crushing their wallet, this lipstick will be an okay product to add on your make up kit. Let me explain why below via the PROS and CONS of this lipstick. PROS: 1. Well of course, it's budget friendly :) 2. Good pigmentation 3. Glides on smoothly 4. Does not make "MY" lips dry CONS: 1. Has a very strong unpleasant scent (for me) and perhaps for some as well. 2. Longevity isn't that good. This lipstick will look decent for around 4-5 hrs without eating nor drinking. Be ready for obligatory touch ups :) 3. Not available nationwide. I believe we don't have Bobbie Cosmetics here in Cebu and in Davao (correct me if I'm wrong) Questions? feel free to comment below :) -JEN- Like my FB page here to be updated on my latest blog posts. |
