Catrice Ultimate Shine Lipstick 210 kiss kiss hibiskiss [review w/ swatches!!]

HELLO GUYS!!
As you all probably know Catrice is FINALLY available in Malta.
Now the stand is emptying real quick..
I went today at Tony's Pharmacy in Gzira.. and
so many stuff are out of stock.
HOWEVER
 this lipstick still is in stock, so I figured I'll show you how it looks like :D

PACKAGING

Awesome packaging, 

closes thoroughly, 

very sleek, 

you get the name, hint of colour and number at the bottom, 

glossy mirror silver packaging. 

What's not to like? 

TEXTURE

Glides like a dream

Doesn't apply a thick heavy layer on the lips, 

 Nice and creamy, 

love it.

PIGMENTATION

I wouldn't say you'd get maximum colour payoff in one swipe.

It usually takes me 3-4 swipes to get the colour I want.. 

but it's worth it.

BUILDABILITY

very buildable, 

and it doesn't look weird or thick on the lips when you do.

FINISH

Glossy finish.

This is, in fact, almost like a lip glaze..

SCENT
These have a slight vanilla scent (I think)
when you smell them straight from the tube but it's not a strong smell
and you would barely detect it unless you smell it straight from the tube.

LASTING POWER

I personally don't like the glaze finish on this particular shade

so I powder this with ELF's complexion perfection 

and I get a matte finish with lasts for really long

 

SHADE

A bright pink with coral-reddish undertones, no shimmer, no frost

 

wearing Kiss Kiss Hibiskiss paired with ELF complexion perfection

BOTTOM LINE

I quite like this lipstick,
it looks almost like a pin up pink.. very pretty :D
I personally prefer the Ultimate Colour line over the Ultimate Shine,
because they have more colour payoff and I like the finish better.
However, this is a pretty shade,
and this is definitely a shade I'll wear.

These retail for €4.50

 I hope you found this post helpful ..
and I'm looking forward to reviewing
more Catrice products for you :D
so let me know if you have any questions or even recommendations below :D
