Believe it or not, I rarely
wear lipstick. I usually go for a lip balm or a lip gloss for everyday use.
But then, since I wanted
to take my beauty-slash-makeup know-how up a higher notch, which
actually started when a fairy makeup artist, in the name of Ten Franco wave her magic wand, sprinkle her
fairy dust and eventually transformed me to a different person (as what they
say), I decided to start off wandering on a beauty product that can
easily transform a person by wearing nothing but that. Apparently, it is no other
than a lipstick.
Yes, a lipstick is
considered a staple for every lady’s makeup arsenal, yet used to be not for me.
Since it’s going to be
my first try, I have thought and researched carefully on what brand and what
shade. It has to be a good brand, and a safe shade -- good enough for my
12-hour work, safe enough to maintain both a corporate and casual chic look.
And I so ended up with MAC Amplified Creme Cosmo Lipstick.

For those who are not yet familiar with what an amplified creme lipstick is, it's actually a kind of lipstick that’s creamy, pigmented and glossy.

The Verdict
I love it.
At first, the
shade was more of pinkish-peach but eventually looked more neutral as time
passes by. It was fairly long-wearing,
stayed about 5-6 hours. It was perfect for my usually dry-type lips.

With this kind of choice
and move, I must say that "You can never go wrong with something safe for a first try".
