Review: MN Kissproof lipstick

MN Kissproof Soft Lipstick

Bought this lipstick recently on Carousell, it was pretty cheap for lipstick so I thought I should give it a try. *cough* cheapskate  *cough* 

There's up to 17 colours if I'm not wrong, there might be 2 more. The seller I brought from had all the colours. Bought it at $3 SGD each. There's a promo at 5 for $12 I think. Saw some Instashop selling at 1 for $6.90, 3 for $15, sooo overpriced. 

Got two colours, one nude (05) and another deep red (11). 

Nice pointy pencil-like tip for precision, can double off as a lip liner. One weird thing about this is there is no way to twist out remaining colours, I googled and found out that I was suppose to sharpen it down. What a STUPID design, I had to sharpen plastic down. Probably why it's cheap eh.

The nude (05) takes 3 swatches to reach this shade, which is kind of expected since it's a lighter colour. The single red (11) swatch on the other hand is pretty pigmented. This lipstick definitely very matte as stated BUT definitely not the hydrating part, I can feel the slight drag as I apply on my hands. 

Since my lips are already very dry, there is no way I can put the lipstick without lip balm. 

Testing out the colours. 

05, really light colour, the difference between my lip colour and the actual lipstick is very subtle, slightly pinker, which is what I wanted, so it's all good. Even with lip balm on, it still felt slightly drying, not going to lie. 

11, after finding out that only very dark red suits my skin tone, decided to buy this colour. Same thing with the dryness. Even with lip balm on, you can tell it is still very matte. Colour can be build on, more layers for a more pigmented, darker red, which is good.  

And lastly, to test if it is really kissproof. Gave my hand a kiss after applying red (11) and tadaah~ Only a liiiittle bit as you can tell. This amount is really good especially when I had applied a layer of lip balm before applying this.


So conclusion,

Pros:
- Wide range of colours
- Relatively cheap for lipstick ($3)
- Precision, double off as lip liner
- Easy to wipe off if drawn out of lip area, doesn't stain skin
- Kiss-proof as stated
- Matte as stated
- Pigmented

Cons:
- VERY DRY, not hydrating at all, doesn't deliver what was stated
- Doesnt smell good, plastic-ky / rubbery smell
- Weird design
-GIVES YOU WEIRD TINGLY FEELING ON LIPS (UPDATE)

Overall, I like the colours alot and the main problem can be easily solved by putting on lip balm, but would I buy it again? Probably not. Unless I cannot find any other red colour similar to this, if not I would really prefer a more hydrating lipstick, as oppose to a matte but drying one.

Note: Have not tried wearing it out yet, will update again to see if it is long lasting.

UPDATE: OMG , I realise after wearing it long enough, it leaves a tingling, drying, uncomfortable sensation on my lips. I do have sensitive dry lips, it could be just me, I dunno.

UP/UPDATE: Decided to give it to my friends and told them they can throw it away if they don't like it, I HATE IT. NOT WORTH IT.
