I love Shiseido skincare - the Pureness Matifying Moisturizer is my favorite for summers in India - but I haven't had much experience with any of the makeup. A friendly SA at Macy's Shiseido counter gave me these samples a long time back, but for some reason I never bothered using them until now. Okay, it's not some reason - I just didn't think there were any good :-| Except they are awesome! The lipstick I have tried on today is from Shiseido's Shimmering Rouge range - RS308 (Iron Maiden). It's a vibrant fuchsia-purple color with fine silver shimmer mixed in. The formula is sheer and moisturizing, and the scary-looking color translates to a bright wash of color on the lips.
I never thought I would ever like a "purple" lipstick, but I really do like this. The lipstick feels so light and comfortable on the lips, and despite being sheer, it stays around on my lips quite a long time, fading to a lovely stain as the day wears on. Me love :D

I have head a lot about Shiseido Lipsticks and have tried a few at the counters too. The formula is amazing as you have said but it costs almost double the cost of MAC lippies here !!!!
ReplyDeleteYes they do cost a lot more here too...personally, I think they are also much better :D
DeleteTrue Rads, I felt the quality was much better too ! As beauty bloggers I feel it is our duty to bring such lipsticks to limelight than just sticking on to one particular brand and you are doing the job really well :)
DeleteOh I must be the last person to finally try Shiseido lipsticks..they are not raved out much perhaps among beauty bloggers, but a lot of people do love these.
DeleteLove the colour, looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteHi Radhika, thank you for sharing the link to my post! It has been ages since I dug this one out and you've just reminded me about it :) If you haven't already done so, do check out the Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipsticks. Quite perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Paris..Thanks for dropping by - the color looks awesome on you, and I love your blog! I haven't yet used up my samples but would definitely pick up some of the Shiseido lipstick colors in the future :)
