PRODUCT REVIEW: PAT MCGRATH'S MATTE TRANCE LIPSTICK IN SHADE 1995
When I first saw this brand Pat McGrath and their elegant packaging in Sephora, I wanted to try it. But I find their lipstick to be expensive for something that I have not yet tried. Thank God that I found a solution by seeing a mini-size of the lipstick at @thefabpanda store in Instagram. This way, I would know if I wanted to purchase a full-size one.
Brand: Pat McGrath

Shade: 1995

Product Description: (From Pat McGrath's website) A revolutionary lipstick so luxurious and richly pigmented, it drenches lips in a lightweight veil of opaque colour while delivering a mesmerizingly modern matte finish. Sensually creamy and brilliant in texture, this collection evokes the femme fatale siren with every application. Colour and finish so sinful, your pout will speak volumes without ever whispering a word.

Pros:
The lipstick is highly pigmented. One layer of application will fully show the color of the lipstick.
It has a powder-like texture that reminded me of Maybelline's Powder Matte lipsticks, that is why even though it is a matte lipstick, I did not experience any discomfort in applying the lipstick. It just glides on smoothly.
I love its pinkish brown shade, it goes well with my skin tone. (I am MAC NC20 user.)
It did not make my lips dry nor hydrated. The lipstick can be removed by heavy meals but without any oily food, the lipstick could last for four to five hours without retouch.
When applied, it did not build up on my lip lines.
Cons:
I find the lipstick quite expensive (2,490php at Sephora) because I think you can get this quality of lipstick from MAC though the appearance when it is worn looks really nice. It is still a luxury lipstick.
It accentuated the dry patches of my lips.
SWATCHES:
Buy again? 90%
Overall Rating: 4/5
Price: 2,490php (Mini size at @thefabpanda is only 700php)
Where to buy? You can get the full size lipstick at Sephora PH, but if you wanted to try a mini size first, I got mine from @thefabpanda in Instagram.
I miss reviewing lipsticks, I do hope you find this helpful. Have fun ladies!
