Review: Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon LC10

Since I mentioned about Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon LC10 in my posts before, I thought a review would be good. I've already said how much I like Shiseido products and this lip crayon is no exception. 

Designed as a pencil that twists out easily and doesn't need sharpening, Shiseido's Automatic Lip Crayon is very practical for everyday use. It defines lip contour easily and precisely to desired shape. To start from the basics, Lip Crayon is made in Japan and its net weight is 1.5 grams/0.05 oz. I don’t notice any taste while I wear Lip Crayon. There is a light scent I smell in the package but doesn't bother at all. 

Lip Crayon LC10 is a blue toned red and very rich in colour. It gives a good coverage even with light touches and it's also buildable and blendable. The texture is so soft that it allows you to use it as a lipstick too and it doesn't feel heavy. It goes on smoothly, evenly and stays put. It never dries out lips or leaves lips feathery. It really does the job of not letting your lipstick bleed. The most stunning thing about this product is its longevity. It's unbelievably long lasting (7-8 hours on my lips) so if you don't plan to use it with a hours lasting lipstick, then I recommend you to use this liner all over the lips to prevent framed lips without lip colour look.  

To summarize, I describe this lip crayon as a long, slim lipstick with lip liner features. It has a smooth texture, easily applied, long lasting and very practical to use and carry around. I know it's on the expensive side but definitely worth it. My score for this brilliant product is 10/10.

Since Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon LC10 is pretty long-lasting,
I usually prefer to apply it all over my lips before wearing my lipstick.

Review: Shiseido The Makeup Perfecting Lipstick Red Cool

I'm a huge fan of Shiseido, both cosmetics and skin care products. The Makeup Perfecting Lipstick was launched in 2004 and Red Cool is my favourite lipstick since then. I also have some other colours from this range. The lipstick is described as "Translucent Red Pigment and Dual-Optimizing Powder ensure that lip color stays true and luminous under any condition, while the Satin Smooth Pearl and Super Hydro-Wrap Vitalizing DE infuse lips with generous hydrators for supple and smooth lips with every application." 

Shiseido The Makeup Perfecting Lipstick has a narrow point at the top which makes it easy to apply without lip liner. It is non-drying and long-wearing (up to 5-6 hours). It transfers, however lasts through a cup of coffee. It is really moisturising, so you don't need to prep your lips before. I apply even on dried lips and after a few minutes lips seem pretty moisturised and smooth. Have I said this lipstick is my favourite?

Red Cool applies evenly and easily, without the need of a lip liner. However, if you want to use a lip liner, I highly recommend Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon LC10. The lipstick is very pigmented and provides full coverage. It has a creamy texture and lustre finish. It also adds fullness to the way your lips look. It feels silky on the lips and not heavy. 

Everything about this product is fantastic, the colour is rich, the texture is creamy but not heavy and the lipstick wears five to six hours with ease.
