So on with the swatches.
new Excel Paris 510 
I did not expect to like this shade. But it turned out into a pretty light red shade that matches my skin tone well.
I was thinking that this would be perfect for Christmas, but definitely not for everyday!
the new formulation of Excel Paris is not as drying as the old one. I still don't trust it though.
The next shade is Excel Paris 512. This is my favorite and it looks like this on my lips.

On me (with flash). I did not go out like this, ok?This is my favorite color and unlike the rest of the Excel Paris products I have that I only used for swatching purposes only, I actually get to use this. But always, I use this on top of a lip gloss and a bunch of other lip products so it looks like this:

Excel Paris 501 wasn't part of the original set of Excel Paris Lip Creams that I got. I bought this out of curiosity again thinking that this might look great for costumy make-up someday, an example that none of you girls should follow!
I'm not sure if the one I got has the new formulation as I used a really thick layer of balm as base.
It's such a pity that I have to be wary about this product as I somehow like this shade.
It has bluish undertone. But I kinda like it's effect on my skin tone (but I'm also wearing a beige foundation here, not the usual yellow-based ones that I wear) although it's not something I would use everyday of course.
This might prompt me to buy a real lipstick with the same color.
What do you think?
I made a not-so-detailed review of Excel Paris Lip Creams here, just in case you want to know to what I really think about this product.
Thanks for reading my blog!
