Sephora Rouge Shine Lipstick – No. 32 Serial Dater

Hello gorgeous ladies.

Hope monsoon is treating you well. Today I’ll be reviewing the Sephora Rouge Shine Lipstick in the shade No. 32 Serial Dater.  So everyone even remotely close to me knows my obsession with make-up and this year for my birthday gift, my mom took me to the Sephora store, gave me a budget and I splurged. You know that feeling when you’re not really shopping with your own money and you basically don’t think twice before buying something. This lipstick was that impulse buy for me.

The packaging: This product comes in a glossy black tube with Sephora written at the spherical bottom. The tube has absolutely nothing written on the outside-no shade name or number. At the bottom there’s a colour swatch which looks gorgeous. On opening the lipstick, the inside tube has a sticker with the shade number and a few more details (Thank God!). The packaging is pretty much the usual twist up style.

The Product : The coIour is gorgeous. Its a sheer pinkish red with no shimmer, that can be worn sheer during the day or layered up for a night out. Now for the “not so good part”. I can safely say that this lipstick looked way better at the store. It is an extremely glossy lipstick and not in an “Oh, It makes my lips look amazing” kind of way. It feels heavy and oily on the lips and I have to keep checking for bleeding or feathering every 10 minutes. A lip liner might help, but because this is such a sheer lipstick, the lip liner should be the exact same shade or lighter. The application is patchy and uneven. The staying power and colour pay-off of this lipstick is a shame and it transfers a lot. It hangs on for about an hour and then the colour just disappears. It leaves behind that balmy/moist feeling on the lips(good) with the lightest wash of colour. The lipstick is very creamy, almost too creamy, and does not hold up well in the Delhi summer. You can tell from the pictures that mine has just melted and the tube is a complete mess. Believe you me ladies, I have worn this lipstick only thrice. It rubs against the edges of the tube every time I twist it up or down and a lot of product is wasted that way. You might think it can’t get worse. Well, it can. This lipstick smells awful. It reminds me of the lipsticks we used to get in the 90s and the scent stays till the lipstick stays.
All in all, for Rs. 800, it does not perform at all. To be honest, Lakme/Maybelline lipsticks, that are half the price do a better job.
