I know these lipsticks are long been hyped in the beauty world but I hope you'll still find my thoughts about them helpful. I only got 5 shades out of the 19 (I believe?) shades available and I'm so happy because I have the colors that look flattering to my medium skintone. I got two from my friend Deann and 3 shades from Pretty Angel Shoppe who sells it the cheapest as far as I know, P120.00 a pop and I think you can even buy them for P100.00 each if bulk orders.
MeNow Kissproof Soft Lipstick - P120.00 (4.2g)
This product is Made in China, so if you have issues with that you can skip these.
Showing you above the different sides of the boxes. I appreciate the Manufacturing and expiration dates seal, list of ingredients, shade number, a little cutout (like window) to see the pen itself and color of the cap. My only concern is the typographical errors and wrong description of the product on the box and product manual slip inside. I got confused with the liquid lipstick on the label. How?
I also thought these are retractable ones based on the design, like you can twist the bottom part (as that of a lip balm) but NO. You need a special sharpener. Regular sharpeners work but I prefer the one that's suited for this which I forgot to purchase, holy moly.
They don't have shade names, only numbers. Mine is arranged from 03 - 17. I got the shades numbers 003, 005, 009, 010, 017.
Powdery matte. It can be drying if you didn't moisturize your lips prior to application which happened to me on my first time using no. 005. It looked so dry and emphasized my crevices that I had to remove it, scrub my lips, apply lip balm, reapply, then it's good.
Super long-lasting and doesn't transfer AT ALL! In the photo above, I'm trying to show you that I scrubbed the swatches on my arms with all my might using a wet tissue and viola! You can't even see traces of smudge whatsoever from the lippies. I did get a few colors in the tissue but look at my arm? Still look so clean!
Tip on how to remove it, hassle-free. Use cleansing oil. Any brand will do. Here I used my favorite cleansing oil from Shu Uemura. How on earth I just thought of doing this! Now I can do more lipstick swatches and review for you guys without torturing my lipst *haha* You can also go for a two-phased makeup remover but for me, cleansing oil does the job better.
Lip SwatchesIn the photo I am wearing Menow Kissproof No. 003. My lips are exfoliated and moisturized. Apply a lip balm, wait for around 2 minutes before gliding on those lipsticks.
I find this shade perfect even at day time. It's not a bright red which I really like.
It can also make the teeth look whiter.
A very close Kylie Jenner lip color and MLBB Shade.
If you're looking for a nude pink lip color, you'll love #09.
This one is orange-red, a little bright to my usual shades as it can somehow make my teeth yellow that's why I avoid this color but I love how it brightens my complexion.
My most favorite shade out of the 5 that I have. The Kylie lip vibes is so strong with this *haha*
I've been using them for more than a month now and I never experienced any irritation nor allergy of sorts. My lips didn't darken, which was my concern since these are made in china. Overall, for P120.00 - P150.00 each of MeNow lipstick is a good buy especially if you like long-wearing and non-transfer products (I guess most of us will love that). If I can only have all the shades, I will welcome them with open arms to my collection 😀
Have you tried any MeNow lippies? What's your favorite shade and how is it for you?
