I discovered Loreal Infallible Lip Duo Compact accidentally at Watsons, I was actually looking for Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick because that’s the one I saw from magazine ads.

Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick

Since there’s no SA at Revlon, I wasn’t able to inquire about their testers, the SA from Loreal suddenly offered their own version, Loreal Infallible Lip Duo Compact. If Revlon lasts for 12 hours, the Infallible Lipstick lasts for 16 hours, beat that!

In just two clicks Infallible colour and comfort lasts up to 16 hours.

You’re 2 clicks away from the new shape of lip colour.

Our 1st longwear lip duo compact; seals in colour for up to 16 hours and locks in moisture.

Infallible Lip Duo Compact is around Php 900. The SA offered to swatch their 2 bestselling shades and taught me how the lipstick works. The lip duo consists of a lip color and a conditioning balm. The lip color is applied first to clean dry lips and allow to set for 1 minute. Then apply the conditioning balm to keep lips moisturized and this can be reapplied whenever necessary. I tried 102 Blush Obsession and 201 Stay Ultraviolet…

I like the Stay Ultraviolet more but the Blush Obsession looks great on fair-skinned ladies.

So does the lipstick lived up to its name, YES! I tested the lipstick earlier around 7 pm, its already 2 am as I write this and I’ve washed my hands 3 or 4 times already. I also rubbed it a few times but still the colors won’t budge. I wonder how it’ll work on the lips, though. But one thing’s for sure, Loreal Infallible Lip Duo Compact will be included in my “lemming-for” list.

Etude House opened its first branch in the Philippines at SM Megamall Bldg. A. Korean beauty product fanatics trooped to Megamall since its first opening day. Megamall is too far from my place that’s why I only get to visit the store last Saturday. Finding the store is easy, it’s located at the ground floor near Toy Kingdom. The moment I entered the store, I was awed, it’s like entering a princess’ bedroom, with insanely pink and blue interiors and girly ornaments and decorations. A princess indeed, upon entering the store, I was greeted by sales assistants clad in their pink/white uniforms with “Hello princess!”.

I think it took me almost an hour inside the store because I was enjoying trying out the testers from nail polishes, lipsticks, lotions, foundations, etc… Etude House has a lot of lipsticks, lip glosses and lip tints, they have more collection of products for lippies than eyeshadows and foundations. The lipsticks come in mostly pink shades though, only a few of them have reddish shades.

testers galore

I think I’m gonna be addicted to this store, I hope their SM North Edsa branch will open soon. Prices are very reasonable, way cheaper than Skin Food and The Face Shop. The packaging are really nice too! Reminds me of Anna Sui….

My only peeve is that I hope that their SAs will be trained and will be knowledgeable about their products. I’m asking about the difference of the lipsticks since they have lots and the SA said they’re all the same. Maybe they can also put English descriptions beside the testers so that customers won’t have to ask their SAs. Oh, and I do hope they will smile or just put a blank face instead of frowning the whole time, just like the cashier did. And no she’s not frowning because I’m taking photos, she’s like that the whole time.

Smile, princess =)
