REVIEW : KATE Rouge HG

Hello Fellas! Today I'm going to review a product that I got in my Memebox.

It's Kate Rouge HG!


Before you're confused, I'll explain. No, the box didn't come with 2 lipsticks, and YES I BOUGHT ANOTHER BOX. Call me crazy, but I love the BB cream so much, I take the risk and bought another box!

Luckily, the lipstick that I got is in different color!

"KATE" is a second label to a Japanese brand "Kanebo" and I think it just recently got into the Korean beauty market. I never see them before until around 2-3 months ago. If you live in Korea, you can get these in Olive Young! In Korea it retails for KRW 18.000. Comes in 15 shades selection.

I got the RS-9 (Rosy Pink) and PK-22 (vivid pink) shade. I got this for random, though I probably will love whatever I got from the box because all the colors are so pretty!

This item is actually one of the reason I want to buy another memebox. I love this lipstick! 

Nice Packaging. The packaging is simple, so sleek and it's a stiff rectangle! So my style! 

Non-sticky, No Scent. 

Great Texture! It's glides so smoothly and it's not the type of lipstick that it's so creamy it's going to break anytime. It's like, creamy but hard? :D I found that this lipstick's texture is very similar to Revlon's Lip Butters, with less pigmentation and shimmer. 

Sheer Pigmentation. The color payoff is not that great, I know this is a sheer liptstick, but even after layering so many times, the color can't be build. I would love it if I could build the color up if I want too, but sadly it's not happening. That also means the shades look similar to each other

Overall, this lipstick is a very good lipstick, especially for daily and natural no makeup-makeup look. Most of the shades are the MLBB (My Lips But Better) shades. For KRW 18.000 per stick, this is definitely not a cheap lipstick. But I'm pretty sure one stick can last for a long time. 

I love these! But I don't think I could afford another one without any sale or discounts D:
Kate might be my new Japanese brand favorite :p

PK-22 

RS-9. The color is not really obvious, but I prefer this one to the PK-22 :D
