I always think Sephora brands (aka mid range and highend brands sold there) are overpriced for their performance, Sephora's own house brand is a source of many hidden treasures: from brushes, eyeshadow to lipsticks. Well, today's review is for one of their lipsticks. This one is crap but I will review some budget gem later.
Sephora Rouge Lacquer is supposedly a shiny sheer lipstick (and when western brands say sheer, it's usually clown bright with a slippy shine). The tube is a lightweight plastic with a button top, illustrating the color of lipstick.
I got 13 CEO - A bright red coral (that's turns a garish hot pinky red) The lipstick is soft and breakable. The retail price is $13 (the Lip Stories lipsticks are $8 but has better quality).
On the lips, the color is neon bright and it has a thin slippy texture that goes on patchy. It would never be wearably sheer or even. There is also a bonus, it stains upon contact. Overall: While the lipstick tube doesn't look half bad, the product actually feels worse than the $1 Wet n Wild silk finish lipstick.
Btw. This piece of crap has 4/5 rating on Sephora's site, kind of shows how edited the reviews are.
Yikes!!! How is that even remotely sheer?? Eeps!
