Whenever something new shows up on the shelves, I'm always tempted to buy a few of them and this lipstick looked very appealing. The packaging, the color, and even the promo pic just made me feel like I had to give this a try.
Packaging
- Light lavender and reminescent of the Revlon Lip Butters, minus the quilted pattern.
- .15 oz or 4.2 g
- Afternoon Tea is part of the Porcelains collection. I don't remember anymore how many shades there was, lol. Probably like 5 or six.
- Afternoon Tea is a lovely mauvy nude color with a cream finish. I actually liked how the color looked on me.
Formula
- Creamy upon application but feels and look a bit heavy/cakey on the lips.
- Can emphasize dry lips so you will need to exfoliate.
- Not very moisturizing.
- Last about 3 hours.
- The scent is horrible, horrible, horrible, and strong. Smells like marshallow and wax. There are certain cosmetic scents that I can tolerate but this one just smells disgustingly sweet. I think if you were ever to kiss your BF or someone with this lipstick on, they would be very turned off. So don't wear this out on a date, lol.
Final Thought
The packaging looks nice. The color is probably the only thing I like about this lipstick. It's a very common shade so you can definitely find something else similar. If you don't mind the scent and cakey formula, perhaps you might enjoy this lipstick more than I did.
My rating: 4/10
This color looks so nice in your swatches! I love light pinks with mauve undertones even though I don't think they really suit my skin. It doesn't look cakey and dry on your lips but I'm sad to hear you don't like the formula :(
ReplyDeleteThe pixel on my camera isn't the greatest. It always have a soft fuzzy look to almost all of my pictures, that's why you can't tell that it's cakey but it's different in person. I had to prep my lips before swatching, lol. Otherwise, it would have looked ugly.
Deletethe color is sweet on your lips, it looks natural pretty ^^
ReplyDeleteits matte finish or glossy like your picture?
thanks for sharing ^^
Thank you. It has a little bit of shine to it since it's a cream finish.
Deletegorgeous shade and looks gorgeous on!

Thank you
DeleteI have this too. It reminds me a lot of MAC Modesty, which I prefer over this one. I posted side by side comparison pictures semi-recently.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you. I definitely prefer MAC lipsticks over these.
