I don't like trying other lipstick brands. It's not because I'm picky or because of my loyalist mentality. A few years back, I had to give away and throw new lipsticks and lip balms I had just purchased because I found out that I had developed an allergic reaction to most lip brands I tried. The only lipstick brand and lip balm brand that did not give me windburn after the first swipe was MAC and Nivea.
A couple of weeks back, as I was browsing Zalora, I saw a promotional ad from Happy Skin. I've been thinking about trying Happy Skin's products (their primer and foundation) but not their lip line. But since the offer was for their new lip products, I decided to give it a try. I'm a sucker for items on sale. :[
Just a bit of an intro. Happy Skin is a local brand founded by Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez and co-founded by Rissa Mananquil-Trillo (this is one of the reasons that actually made me say yes to trying out this new lip product. I used to watch Rissa Mananquil on The Kikay Machine). Their brand philosophy is to provide Filipinas with make up that not only makes you be your own pretty but also makes sure your skin is cared for. As stated on their website, "Happy Skin takes cosmetics to a whole new level of hip and happy, with its promise of providing women with an entire line of make-up that cares for your skin." I guess as we grow older, we do become more concerned with our overall health, including our skin's health so things like this -- make-up plus skin care, has been getting my attention recently.
Going back to my recent purchase, I got the Shut Up & Kiss Me Power Pout Moisturizing Lip Lacquer in Strong and Sexy. I don't really like using liquid lipstick because it either feels sticky or is too watery so I was a bit hesitant about this product.
