Shiseido Maquillage - Neo Climax Lip RS753

Introduction
Maquillage is Shiseido's young line exclusively sold in Asia country. It is replacing the PN (Pied Nus) which is my favourite.

Texture
Non sticky, non fragranced, sheer as a lipstick but provide enough pigments as a gloss.

Packaging
From the advertisement photo, a lot of people would think it is a lipstick with 'bullets' at the surface but in fact it is a liquid lipstick in a plastic lipstick shape container. The concept is similar to Maquillarge's another lipgloss in a thin long wand or the Maybeline 3D lipshines. You twist the bottom of the lipstick and the liquid will be dispensed out from the holes on the surface. Pretty and practical design, I like it very much.

Price
RM72, quite reasonable, launched in August 2007.

Review
I'm attracted to its packaging at the 1st place but now I think it is quite a nice product too. I always love lipsticks by Japanese cosmetics company like Sofina, Kose, Kanebo Testimo but Shiseido PN (discontinued) and Maquillage is my top of the list favourite by far. I'm even thinking of converting all my lipsticks into this line.

It comes in 8 colors and I got the RS753. The other color that I like is OR331 but I already have their lipstick in the orange range. This RS753 is very natural, almost the same color as my lips and I have moderate pigmented lips. My lips looks like wearing nothing but looks glossy. This color has subtle gold shimmer that is barely noticeable on lips. Great for a natural look. My lips feel very comfortable with this gloss, it just feels like lipblam, not sticky at all. The other 2 colors in the PK family is too cool for me and make my yellow skintone looks dull.

Shiseido Maquillage - Sheer Climax Rouge 20

Introduction

Maquillage is Shiseido's young line exclusively sold in Asia country. It is replacing the PN (Pied Nus) which is my favourite.

Texture
Non sticky, non fragranced, very moisturizing and ultra light weight.

Packaging
Beautiful! The color of the tube is quite similar with the actual color and it is very convenient for me to pick the color I want to wear out from a stash of lippies without opening it.

Price
RM89, very expensive as a lipstick but I still think it is worth it.

Review
I just love Shiseido Maquillage lipsticks. They are simply the best I've tried. The texture is very moisturizing, very glossy and very light weight. I can't feel anything on my lips with them on, not like other brands lipsticks which you could feel some wax coated on your lips.

The sheer climax has a coat of iridescent shimmer outside of the lipstick but it will wear off after use. I love to look at the beautiful shimmer of the lisptick. I got the color 20. It looks like pure orange color from the tube but it gives a pinkish coral tone on my lips. Very beautiful! I think I'm addicted to it. The shimmer is quite noticeable and the color is consider sheer but could be layered on to get more intensity. I love this range a lot of and would like to collect more from this sheer climax range.
