Lippies are in the spolight lately, lots of new and exciting launches are thrown our way and I'm glad a ton of good ones come from the drugstores. If you're a fan of the good old classic lipstick with a more than decent whack of pigment, great color range (18 shades), no frills packaging and affordable price point (4,95 €) – new Manhattan All In One lipsticks might be up your street!
I must say that I prefer the new packaging of Manhattan lipsticks – it's still very black & basic but I prefer the new shape. It can be a fingerprint magnet sometimes but the black plastic isn't too glossy so it never gets utterly smudged. Lippies are fragranced but not unpleasantly so (classic lipstick scent).
What surprised me most is that these lipsticks are really pigmented. Just one swipe leaves s strong trace of color which is of a slight matte-ish finish. They are comfortable to wear but not too creamy and accordingly the longevity is spot on – more than 4h on my lips. Out of 18 shades I have tested Ultimate Cherry 560 – a classic cherry red, a bit muted and perfect for autumn. I have also tried Rose Darling 850 which isn't exactly an autumn hue with its slightly reddy pinkyness. I can see it as more of a summer hue but pink lovers out there will love it nevertheless.
Any thoughts on the new design and the shades I tested?
- Karmini su definitivno jedni od najtrazenijih proizvoda, mnogo noviteta je stiglo na trziste zajedno sa dolaskom nove jesenje sezone i drago mi je primjetiti da je dosta kvalitetnih ruzeva upravo iz drogerijskog ranga. Ako ste ljubiteljice klasicnih karmina vise nego solidne pigmentacije, odlicnog izbora nijansi (tacnije, osamnaest), jednostavnog pakovanja i pristupacne cijene (cca 12KM) – novi Manhattan All In One ruzevi (7,20KM) bi vam mogli privuci paznju!
- Dopalo mi se novo pakovanje Manhattan ruzeva – jos uvijek je jednostavno i crne boje ali mi licno novi oblik vise odgovara. Privlaci otiske prstiju ali crna plastika nije izrazito sjajna tako da ruz nikada ne izgleda neugledno. Ruzevi imaju klasicni miris koji je primjetan ali ne napadan.
- Ono sto me najvise iznenadilo je pohvalna pigmentacija. Samo jedan sloj daje odlican rezultat a finish je polumat. Ugodne su teksture ali nisu previse kremasti sto odmah znaci da je trajnost zadovoljavajuca – vise od 4h na mojim usnama. Od ukupno 18 nijansi isprobala sam Ultimate Cherry 560 – klasicnu tresnja crvenu koja je malo zagasita i savrsena za jesen. Takodjer sam isprobala Rose Darling 850 – blago crvenkasto-ruzicastu nijansu koja mozda nije prilagodjena jeseni (vise je dozivljavam kao ljetnu boju) ali ce je ljubitelji ruzicastih ruzeva sigurno zavoljeti.
- Kako vam se cine novi ruzevi i nijanse koje sam testirala?
