I hope you all are doing well~
I always wanted to try the Candy Doll lipstick because it often appears in Popteen magazine(a Japanese popular Gyaru magazine). If you not already know, Candy Doll is a make up brand produced by Japanese famous model, Tsubasa Masuwaka.
I also have a review on their lip gloss. Make sure to check that out at here.
Without further ado, let's start the review :D
❤ Packaging ❤
front packaging
The packaging is really girly girly otona (in Japanese it means more grown up, not in the teen stage). It has Tsubasa lip on top to show how is the color looks like when it applies on the lip, which I like.
back packaging
The back side of it has all the information, too bad it's all in Japanese :( I bought it when I was in Taiwan, so there is a sticker with information in Chinese. And thank God that the ingredient list is in English YAY! You can check out the ingredients by zooming in the picture above.
The lipstick packaging was a bit fat looking haha! But that makes it so chibi and cute. It is made from plastic, not really cheap looking though. The tube was in black color with gold ring in the middle and gold Candy Doll print in the middle.
The bottom of the lipstick tube has labeled with the information in Japanese and I got the color Pink Grapefruit 3D.
❤ Texture ❤
The texture of this lipstick is creamy and it glides on nicely. Although it is a creamy formula, I still recommend to scrub your lips before applying this lipstick. If you have dry, flaky lips, it definitely will show up the flakiness, and that will not look cute on anyone. I must be honest that it will settled into fine lines on the lips. So make sure to apply a lip gloss on top if your lips have a lot of fine lines.
❤ Color ❤
The color I got is in Pink Grapefruit, which has a little bit of peachy tone, warm pink base. The pigmentation was really good. The lipstick coats my lips really well without using any lip concealer. I only need 2 swipes on my lips and the color shows up nicely.
❤ Swatch ❤
As you can see the picture above, I only apply 2 swipes of the lipstick and the color shows up really well.
❤ Overall ❤
It is a nice color lipstick to wear and the staying power is okay. It glides on smoothly on my hand but not my lips. Cause I have a bit of dry lips, so I have to apply a layer of lip balm before I apply this lipstick. The lipstick is not really drying my lips out and it doesn't make my lips allergy, which I really really like. It is not easy for me to find a lipstick that won't make my lips allergy :( Will I repurchase this lipstick? 50/50 chance because of the price tag, sigh...

Thanks for the review! The swatch looks really girly and I think it's suitable for Dolly looks (^^) It's a beautiful colour too :D
ReplyDeleteHaving the price set so high, it's not something everyone can afford I guess :X But you know, Japanese products are usually pricier but their quality is good too :)
