Etude House VIP girl Dear Darling lipstick: PK007

I've always had this strange fixation for medium-pale pink lipsticks. They seem like such an unnatural color to me that I feel compelled to find a shade that suits my skintone.

Unfortunately, PK007 does not.

Price: around P428.00
Location Bought: Etude House SM Megamall
Approximate Date Bought: January 2010

Packaging: Honestly, I find the VIP girl line's packaging rather tacky. Maybe it's the hot pink plastic, or maybe it's the chain-crown-heart-star pattern printed onto the tube. I suspect this lipstick - on merit of its packaging alone - would be perfect for use in frat neophyte initiations, or for just plain scaring "manly" men with. (Men who may be reading this, please know that I mean absolutely no offense. I come in peace! XD)

Color: It's a medium-pale pink, almost lilac, even.
Pigmentation and Formulation: Strong, but wipes off during eating or drinking. The lipstick is supposed to be matte, but there is a slight gloss to it.

Actual Usage: PK007 washes me out. It also makes lip lines show up very easily. It was lovely to put on though - the lipstick was very creamy.

I won't be using this for everyday, but at least I now know what lipstick to use if I ever feel like dressing up like a ganguro. XD

I really liked the formulation on this one, so I might give this line another chance. The peach-orange one they have looks pretty promising.
