Juicy, pigmented lips with Clio’s Virgin Kiss Tension Lip lipsticks: Review & Swatches

Clio's Virgin Kiss Tension Lip lipsticks
If there is one lipstick you need in the world, it has to be the latest lipstick range from well-loved K-Beauty brand, Clio – Virgin Kiss Tension Lip!
Just as my blog title suggests, these lipsticks are beyond this world – they are highly-pigmented (no joke), highly-moisturising, and comes in six delectable shades for you to mix and match! You can even do an easy ombre lips with these!  Some of these shades are also featured in the Korean drama – The Producers, worn by actress Kong Hyo Jin, who’s also Clio’s new face!
Housed in a classic black packaging, the lipsticks have glorious colour pay-off that’s fade-resistant, due to the semi-matte film that clings onto the shape of the lips! Amazing technology in there and I witnessed the lasting power of these lipsticks – the colour was still there even after gobbling my meals down!

Effortless elegance with M∙A∙C x GiAMBATTiSTA VALLI Lipsticks: Review & Swatches

M∙A∙C x GiAMBATTiSTA VALLI
My love for M∙A∙C comes in the form of lipsticks. I am a huge lover for M∙A∙C’s limited edition collections, those with unique packaging. With my undying love for makeup, I told myself to pick up only one lipstick (and a blush or an eyeshadow palette) per limited edition launch so that I could keep  them but couture fashion designer, Giambattista Valli, collaborated with M∙A∙C and came up with a brilliant collection of timeless lipsticks.
Lo and behold. The M∙A∙C x GiAMBATTiSTA VALLI lipsticks.
Giambattista Valli (read his short interview here) brings forth his effortless elegance and celebration of the female form in this exquisite collection. There are five lipsticks in this collection and they are all matte. In the coral of Tats, pale pink of Bianca B, pure peach of Margherita, regal red of Charlotte and dark cherry of Eugenie, lips take on an air of sophistication.
(Bianca B is sooo pretty on the model!)
