SAN SAN Creamy Matte Lip Stain Review & Swatches

So here's another first impression review, not the first time on my channel tho but first time here on my blog. 😜

Here's the review video: San San Creamy Matte Lip Stain Review + Swatches

I believe these are the latest from San San Cosmetics, it's the San San Creamy Matte Lip Stain.
They have 12 shades in total but I only got 7 of them.

These are the 7 shades that I purchased out of the 12 shades.
Price: Php 180
Bought it at HBC SM Davao

As for the packaging, it's sleek and easy to use and carry. It's in an acrylic form of container.

Arm swatches using natural lighting.

Is it waterproof,  smudge-proof or food-proof ?

Waterproof, yes.
After I did these arm swatches, I tried to wash my hand (with soap) but the colors stayed and didn't even fade out a bit.

Smudge-Proof.... No.
After I washed my hands and get it dried, I noticed that it turned out to be a little sticky and when I tried to swipe it with my fingers, it smudged a lot. I think once it gets wet, it will no longer get as matte as it should be, thus resulting it to be smudgy already.

Food-Proof... Not really.
When I did the review video about this, I didn't get to try yet if it's food-proof. But right after my filming, I was able to test it. There are visible fade outs after, but still the color is there. Thus requiring you to do a little retouch if you want... 😊

Formula Quality & Pigmentation

As for its formula quality, this is common in all matte liquid lipsticks, but not all. You know the "matte feels" , drying, non-hydrating, etc.,
Not 100% pigmented, you need to build up the color so that you'll get it on what it should supposed to look like because that's what you see on the outer packing. Maybe 2-3 coats to achieve the pigmentation.
And I kinda hate the sticky feeling, making your lips stick together like a magnet. 😃
But I love the smell, the "vanilla latte feels" like smell, or a Victoria Secret lotion.

Overall:

For its price of Php 180, you get what you pay for. I mean, it's cheap right? But you will get a lipstick that will last for hours because it's a lip stain, it really stains. But just as what I've said, there are just minor fade outs, and a little retouch will do.
The colors are amazing, it really suits to all skin tones.

What's In My Personal Kit (MAKE-UP BAG)?

As a makeup lover, I always have my favorite, "go-to" makeups with me. My "pinaka-CHOICE" kumbaga. 😁 I bring them whenever I have special occasions to go to, and I have the perfect bag for them which is my MUJI bag. I bought it from Manila since they still don't have it here in Davao. I just asked a friend to buy it for me. 😊
They have 3 sizes available, a Small, Medium and Large and I got the Large one.

As you can see in the above picture, there's 7 slots of brush holder which is a plus for a makeup bag since you won't be needing another bag for your brushes, and the flip cover to protect them from your makeups. But this post isn't about the bag. 😄 Just sharing some info about it in case you're interested to have it too. 😊
