Catrice— Power Plumping Gel Lipstick

It's been a while since I last posted in here, but finally I am back and yes, I got a new laptop so I'll be back to blogging again. I already shared these photos on my instagram, but I wanted to do a full-in-depth blog post a.k.a review of this lipstick which I'm going to say it's by far my favorite one. 

ABOUT THE PRODUCT: It says it contains Hyaluronic acid in its formula, and this will help to hydratate lips and give them that "plumped effect". 

ABOUT THE BRAND: Catrice Cosmetic is a cruelty free make up brand and claims to sell quality makeup at an affordable price-tag. 

MY EXPERIENCE: It's my first time using a product from this brand, so what you'll read next is my own personal opinion based on first impressions and experience in general after testing the product for a few months.

PROS:

• A beautiful packaging, it's black with rose gold, or gold and to be from Catrice, it makes it look so luxury. 
• Having hialuronyc acid in its formula helps me keep my lips super smooth and hydratated, and thanks to this (HA) this is why its texture is like "gel".
• It also has some sparkles, glitter, which are micro so you can barely see it plus it smells so good to be honest. 
• It doesnt leave residues of lipstick, I do not know how to call that or if there's a name for that (sorry, not an expert in this field) once it has transcurred hours of wearing it, again it leaves my lips feeling super hydratated that I haven't exfoliated them in months. 

NOT CONS (at least for me) but EXTRA INFO (for you to keep in mind)

• Despite of it being a great lipstick, it DOESN'T last long. It lasts about 3.5 to 4 hours (without eating or drinking anything) However, you do not feel that dryness on your lips, again, they feel moisted. 
• The shade, is a "nude" color, very pretty to be honest but on the lips looks even lighter than when you swatch it. Even if this may be a "con" for some of you, in my case, despite this, I really love it, the shade makes me achieve that natural makeup look I always opt for and the fact that has helped keep my lips hydrated and I haven't had to exfoliate them is a double win for me. 

I'll definitely be buying more shades, and despite of this being negative to some, I'll keep the positive because I've really seen the results myself and this was something I never experienced before with any other lipsticks.
