The Careline™ Lipstick comes in a white and very light plastic tube with silver floral prints. It is made in China where I think all Careline™ as well as Ever Bilena products are made. It is the first lipstick that I own where there is a manufacturing date printed at the bottom base of the tube. The one I got was manufactured June 2013 so I was happy to know the fact that I bought a newly manufactured lippy, coz you see a lot of women don't realize that makeups expire too.
The Careline™ Cotton Candy shade lipstick has a metallic, shiny finish. Its color is baby pink with red-purple undertones that also tend to result to a hot pink shade when 2 to 3 more swipes are applied on the lips. It weighs 3.4 grams.
It is highly pigmented so one swipe is enough to give your lips a full coverage, achieving a perfect cotton candy pink/baby pink shade. Below is the lipstick swatch that I did on my forehand. It looked a bit like fuchsia pink coz I did 3 swipes there. The lipstick's scent is a bit strong and reminds me so much of the scented ballpens. Yeah, scented ballpens that's exactly how it smells. Quite annoying at times. hehe
The lipstick isn't that sticky but like most lippies it leaves stain on your hanky and glass. Although many are not happy with its longevity, I would say that it's long lasting coz I didn't have to do retouches. In fact, by the time I removed it, there was still that pink tint on my lips that lasted until the next morning. (Even when I already brushed my teeth that night there's still that light pink tint on my lips).
If you want beauty and you're on a budget this one's a must-have. I purchased this lipstick for only Php 120.00 at Super 8 Grocery Warehouse. Yeah, this caught my attention while I was doing grocery shopping the other day. The Careline™ gondola happened to be located at the side of the entrance of the grocery so my eyes were amazed by the pinkness of the shade. That moment I saw it, it was like telling me "hey girl come on and get me, get me, get me.." hahaha So there, I picked one right away coz it's super affordable.
If you girls have been following my blog sure you know that I am not that much into pink lippies. But this one temporarily shifted my choice to using pink lippies. I really love the shade, it brightens my face, I feel young and carefree whenever I have this on. Take a look at my photos below, I feel like a school girl again in those shots. hehe
I'm also happy that this lipstick is enriched with Vitamin E, so you're assured that your lips' skin cells are always protected from UV light, pollution and other harmful elements that produce cell damaging free radicals. It's important that we are not just aiming for beauty alone. Health should always come with beauty because having good skin is the key to real beauty. At the end of the day we remove whatever makeup we have and the only thing that remains is our skin so we should be vigilant in protecting it.
Overall I give it a rating of ★★★★★ for obvious reasons. I will soon try the other shades of this brand so watch out for it. Thank you for visiting my blog til next time ladies! Ciao! ;-)
