After caving in for Glossier again - I became obsessed with Generation G and went on and bought two more.
Crush is a deep pink red, the kind of shade I love very much but have been shying away from (because they have a 90% chance of turning grandma magenta).
Obligatory glamour shot with the pear blossom.
There is one for the box (apparently there are people selling these boxes and their pink pouches online...Why?)
This one is a little shorter than others...Thank you very much.
Crush looks a little deeper in the tube
Glossier Crush (two swipes) and Lunasol Stain Color Lips in EX05 (One swipe. Speaking of which, I totally forgot to review this shade). I do love Lunasol's stain color lips but it seems that the name is more suitable for the clear, soft matte formula of Gen G.
On the lips, Crush is a gorgeous medium raspberry pink flush. No sight of grandma magenta, no neon pink stain, no drying finish but it's quite long wearing! This is probably my favorite shade of Generation G as it's smoother than Zip and has more clarity than Cake.
One more shot - just because.
Oooohh pretty!!! Between Generation G and Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint, which do you like better?
ReplyDeleteHands down (and feet up) Glossier (the fact that I have four Gen G/want leo but it's sold out) and only have one Romand lip tint should says something...I never liked dry touch matte or lip stain but this is the perfect marriage of the two.
DeleteThere is even an evil stepmother plum (Jam) that's a really wearable take on 90s purple lips...
OK sold! BTW have you tried any of Glossier's balm or gloss?
DeleteNo I havent't, I assume the balm and gloss are overpriced like the rest of glossier line up (nobody on weibo raved about it).
DeleteI am tempted but I could never buy Glossier lipsticks (it's funny that my review on the cloud paint review gets most views these days although I swore off the brand after that point). Having said that, I am tempted for real because I know that you know your lipsticks! I think you said you also got one of the matte tints from Romand. Which one did you get (I got both Zero Tint and See Through)? I wonder if Gen G is comparable to Romand See Through. :)
ReplyDeleteI got a pink one...though it has been six weeks and it never arrived (I feel bad because I also ordered an Asia exclusivr Shu Uemura lip essence that I really want). I don't think I would bother ordering it again if it's lost...
DeleteAww, really? I hope it finds its way to you soon. I've experienced something like that myself. I ordered some butterfly earring backs and it's taking forever. This is probably why the Asian-based website now got rid of the regular shipping options and now it's just DHL.
DeleteIt's probably just the covid. I will wait until it's close to 2 months to ask for refund. In a way it helps me being more sensible. Nowadays amazon is taking two weeks to deliver items that a week later I decide I just don't like it enough and cancel it alltogether...
DeleteI guess my thing with romand is that no matter how beauutiful romand tint is, there are dozens of equally beautiful lipstick that last well and don't require the whole day commitment.
Are you into pinks more than corals now 🤔
ReplyDeleteHaha I am always into coral but my go to are kind of old (Suqqu sangoseki and Coffret D'Or purely stay ex07) somehow there isnt note worth new release. The recent buy was Laura Mercier L'Orange which looks more like a neon pink red kind of shade that doesn't work (I think I will destash it/still brand new though).
DeleteOuuu. I need to try the Suqqu lipsticks but technically on Selfridges they don't go on sale so I can get it at any time... Someday I will try them hahaha.
DeleteI also have a few neon lippies in my collection... lightly applied they're not too bad!
