Flormar Long Wearing Lipstick in L34 - Review, Photos, Swatches

Flormar Long Wearing Lipstick in L34 is a purple shade with hints of magenta. It looks a little crazy purple and intimidating on the tube, but its actually gorgeous and wearable. I find this a little sheer compared to the first Flormar lipstick that I own, so a little bit more swiping is needed for a full opaque look. It has decent hours of wear, and left a stain on my lips. Its formula is creamy, leaning towards glossy so it tends to slide. I would say the formula is like a combination of MAC's amplified creme and lustre.

PROS: not the usual shade you'll see available locally, can be worn as sheer or build it up, 2-3 hours of wear, doesn't have a distinct smell, locally available, reasonably priced
CONS: it tends to slide because of the glossy lipstick formula, would have loved it more if it was matte, opacity can do some improvement


VERDICT:

  I will definitely repurchase!

Flormar Long Wearing Lipstick in L23 - Review, Photos, Swatches


Whenever I'm in Watson's and the Beauty Department of SM Department Stores, I feel like a kid in a candy store. I always browse and check out the aisles to see what's new or if there's anything I'll fancy. I was at SM Megamall's Department Store when I saw this new makeup brand, Flormar.

Flormar, apparently, is a brand imported from Turkey. Of course, I gravitated towards their lipsticks, and let me tell you they have a lot of them. They have shades from nudes to the brights. I think they have the most number of lipstick shades I've seen in a department store! 
I saw several shades that I want, but I had to choose the long wearing ones. Let me show you the first lippie I got from them. :)

Flormar Long Wearing Lipstick in L23 is a bright pink shade. The lady told me it has a semi-matte finish, but I find it more like MAC's amplified creme finish. True to its name, its pretty long wearing for a rather affordable brand. Its formula doesn't feel heavy on my lips, and after a few hours and a good rice meal, a pretty pink stain was left on my lips. :) 
I also love the black packaging because it looks more sophisticated. Price-wise, I think its very reasonable.

It also looks a lot like MAC Pink Pigeon (only in a different finish) when swatched. So yes, that just made this lipstick worth the buy.
