Meet the new Lumene lipsticks, Smile Booster(s) is their name (and they surely made me smile!) and they were on sale for 49 crowns today (around €5). A real bargain.
I was looking for...nothing in particular (as usual) at the drugstore stands, checking out some (really) overrated L'Oreal pink lipsticks; i saw a hidden little shelf with a colorful tag that indicated 'on sale' and well, i did what i had to do. I was EXACTLY looking for pink lipsticks, a nude maybe, too, just something pretty. I didn't think i was going to find anything for less than €10 or nothing remotely beautiful (sometimes it's hard with drugstore lipsticks...not to mention i was in a clothing store that doesn't usually have a big woop of makeup).
Putting my usual exuberance aside, i am really in love with these. Apart from the colors (which are all i was looking for-something wearable, light pinks/corals/nudes) the creaminess- it's VERY good for a cheap lipstick. They don't stink either- it's a mild whiff of raspberry (obviously, fake, but instead of plasticine...) and are very pigmented without looking or feeling like a slick of makeup on the lips.Wow.
03 Nude Beige
This is lighter, a bit more sheer than the other two. I bought it because i want to wear it on top of other lipsticks i'm hoping i can get warped to a more decent tone (unwanted shades, porny bubblegum pinks, etc). It's very very creamy and 'shiny'- it doesn't contain neither glitter nor shimmer. However, it gives a creamy, satinated effect.It can absolutely be a perfect nude even when worn by itself. I think this is my first (and only) purely nude lipstick.
04 Satin Coral
A hint of coral and that's it. Very similar to Heather Pink (it's quite hard to make the difference actually). A little bit more wearable. It isn't the coral i'm hoping to find anytime soon because nothing compared to the Rimmel Soft Coral one (my HG coral lipstick....THE coral), but it's a cute pink-ish coral.
09 Heather Pink

.....perhaps i should be getting the rest of the collection as well. I had my eye on nr 1, a beige nude with a bit of shimmer in it which was out of stock (i can imagine!) and nr 8, a bubblegum pink, a tad more intense than Heather Pink.
I have a Lumene lipstick too. It smells weird and it broke off today...
