Hello! Recently, Pea introduced me to Catrice, and we're both hooked to finding out more about this brand cause it is relatively cheap (and they also look very promising) for drugstore products in Singapore.
She has done a little review on the blushes that she got, which can be found here. And now I'll be doing a little review on the lipsticks and eyeshadow quad! :)
I immediately reached out to the lipstick section cause I was desperately looking for a lip colour similar to Venom from Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick range! It is a deep burgundy/purplish colour with a little sheen and I really wanted to get a dupe for it~
This is the Catrice Ultimate Colour in 140 Pinker Bell, priced at S$7.90. An extremely bright fuschia colour with a satin close to shimmery finish.
Pea and I immediately thought to ourselves that this is my kind of colour! Very bright and in-your-face, and it really did remind me of Venom, just in a brighter shade. I was pretty bent on getting this colour already cause either way I'll use it. Then I found the lip liners, and picked the (of course) burgundy colour:
This is the Catrice Precision Lip Liner in 060 Very Berry, priced at S$4.90. A dark purple colour, really close to what I was looking for but without the shine!
1. Lipstick in 140 Pinker-Bell
2. Lipstick in 140 Pinker-Bell smudged out
♡ 3. Lipliner in 060 Very Berry + Lipstick in 140 Pinker-Bell ♡
4. Lipliner in 060 Very Berry
My favourite way of wearing it is of course by mixing the lip liner and lipstick together!! :D
I start by filling my whole lips with the lipliner in 060 Very Berry, and then layer the lipstick in 140 Pinker-Bell on top. Fairly easy, but creates the best burgundy colour ever. Haha.
This is the Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 250 Matt About Pink, priced at S$7.90. Just like the name, it is a matte creamy coral-pink.
It can be quite difficult to wear if your lips are chapped (like mine), but a little lip exfoliation will help create a smoother base for this lipstick to go on easily. Hehe.
The thing about these lipsticks and lipliner is that they have superb pigmentation, very affordable, goes on smoothly upon application and it doesn't dry out my lips (important!!). However, the staying power isn't as good as expected, it requires quite a bit of re-application throughout the day. But I am not complaining, cause I'd rather have to reapply than have them dry out my lips like no other!
Just a little tip, remove all excess + dried out lip colour on the lips before re-applying :)
I also picked up an eyeshadow quad, and can I just say how much I really like the whole acrylic packaging. It's so heavy duty and clicks when I close the quad. Makes me feel very secure. Hahaha.
This is the Catrice Absolute Eye Colour in 040 Never Let Me Go!, priced at S$8.90. Consists of 4 super wearable colours - my kind of colours again. Haha, I always stick to the browns when it comes to eyeshadows cause those are my safe colours.
1. A very basic champagne, shimmery, highlight colour
2. Peach based shadow with flecks of gold glitters
3. A dark taupe with very fine silver glitters
4. Dark brown colour with fine gold glitters
Did a simple eye look with the quad:
(pardon my unruly brows T_T)
Dab colour 2 evenly all over double eyelid crease. Then blend colour 3 at the outer half of the crease inwards to the center of eyelids. Add colour 4 along the outer third lashline, blend blend blend! And then highlight the inner third of eyelids and below the brow bone. I also added colour 3 to the outer half of my lower lashes. Finish up with eyeliner and mascara! :)
The colours 3 and 4 are of superb quality! Very buttery and pigmented with minimum fallouts considering that they are pretty dark colours. However, I was quite disappointed with colours 1 and 2, cause it came off a bit chalky, and I had to swirl a few times before I could get a good swatch/colour payoff. Yet, colour 2 happens to be my favourite colour in the quad cause it's just so pretty and glittery! It works great as a single colour on the lid, adds that extra sparkle when you blink ;)
So overall, I'm really quite enjoying Catrice products and I wanna buy moreeeeee!!! Have any of you tried their products before? Share with us how you feel ^^
