REVIEW : 3CE DOTS COLLECTION "ORIGINAL" Lip Color #802 Love Sick

Finally, the long awaited review is here. I blame the winter wind that makes me snuggles inside my blanket all the time. 3CE from Style Nanda had recently released the cutest collection ever, the Dots collection! In the collection they have eyeshadow quad palette, lipsticks, hand mirrors and stick on nails.

This time I'll bring in the review for the eye shadow palette and the lipstick!

First I'll go with the lipstick, the "Original 3 Concept Eyes Lip Color" in #802 Love Sick (I didn't choose the shade because of the name that coincidently with my favorite Thai Lakorn. Or did I?)

I'm in love with their original packaging and now that they give these little dots - seems like they want to kill me with their packaging. The lipsticks from the Dots collection came with 2 shades, #801 Air Balloon is the black one, and the other being this one. 

One thing that I ticks me about this product is the shade. Yes. From all the pictures and in their official website, it totally likes the shade will be pink with a hint of red.

But if you look at my swatch pictures you'll see that it's definitely not pink, it's more to a red hot warm tone red - which I don't really prefer because it makes my white look less white :( Totally a Christmas red, and it's nice because it's the holiday season! Honestly, it's not a shade that I'll gonna use everyday tho. If only it was a real pink like in the picture!

Nevertheless, I do like 3CE's lipstick and I liked the fact that they actually launch a new shade rather than doing a repackage of an already existing shade. I think the Pink Collection lipsticks' shade aren't new. 

3CE lipsticks are really pigmented and it's not drying on the lips. Even though this lipstick is really bright, it doesn't really stains the lips after the lipstick got erased. It has a glossy finish and the sheen is just enough!

Super cute packaging

Smooth application

Can be used sheerly

Not sticky and nice glossy finish

Shade isn't the same as the one portrayed on the website

Overall, very disappointed at the shade outcome. In real life the shade came out really more to a red than pink, maybe it does photographed pink because the swatch that I did also somewhat came out pink (?) 

I do like the sheer look from this lipstick, so I'll try to keep on using this! Next post will be about the eyeshadow palette, so keep your eyes for that! :)
