Hey everyone!
Today’s review is about Catrice Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick 040 Pink Macaron. Catrice released Shine Appeal Fluid Lipsticks a few months back. I would define Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick as a strongly pigmented lip gloss. I am not a lip gloss person, but wanted to give the fluid lipstick a try. I have already reviewed 020 Kiss Me in the Sunshine, 060 Marry Berry, 050 What a Melon and 080 Rose, Would you…?
Price: 4€ for 5 ml
Product Description:
VISION EN VOGUE
The Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick is a true beauty hybrid and unites the pure colour of a lipstick with the maximum shine effect of a gloss. It contains vitamin E that pampers the sensitive lip area and offers a smooth, bright finish. With nuances to choose from soft nude to classical red shades, the Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick is sure to make all colour dreams come true.

My Experience with Catrice Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick 040 Pink Macaron:
As always, the packaging is great. It comes in a transparent square-shaped plastic tube. The cap is black and also square. The product looks like a normal lipstick from outside. The cap has an applicator wand. The wand tip has a very soft applicator. It’s very easy to open and close the cap. The cap does not close tightly and there is a chance of leakage. So I prefer not to travel with it. I have 6 shades in total and 2 of them have the same problem. I am not sure if it’s just the ones I picked or it’s the same with all caps. Make sure to check before you buy.
The consistency of the product is very similar to that of a lipgloss. The product claims to contain Vitamin E which nourishes the lips. The staying power of the product is not as much as that of a lipstick. It lasts for 1 to 2 hours without any drinking and eating. The product gets easily transferred on to cups when drinking. It doesn’t feel sticky on the lips.
There are absolutely no shimmers or glitters in the product. Overall, the product is OK but with not so great staying power. I prefer darker shades and also matte lipsticks as I need to apply just once before going to work and no touchup is required. This is not the case with this liquid lipstick.
Pros of Catrice Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick 040 Pink Macaron:
• Stylish packaging.
• Nourishes lips.
• Not sticky.
• Lightly perfumed.
• Better pigmented when applied in layers/coats.
• No shimmer or glitter.
Cons of Catrice Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick 040 Pink Macaron:
• Sheer formula.
• Staying power little more than an hour.
• Cap doesn’t close completely.
• High chances of leakage.
• Suitable only for lighter skin tones.
IMBB Rating: 2/5
Would I Repurchase/Recommend Catrice Shine Appeal Fluid Lipstick 040 Pink Macaron?
No way! It’s a total disaster for me at least with the color and the cap not closing completely. If you are more of a lip gloss person and love light pink glosses, then you will definitely like it. It’s not so expensive, so give it a go.
