By now you'd have heard of this drugstore brand that just landed Singapore shores some months back. They are known for their amazing quality at unbelievably affordable prices.
You can read more of my reviews of Palladio Pop Shine Lip Balm and other products here.
I won't be posting repetitive ramblings on how awesome I think this product is - I believe the product speaks for itself (You only NEED to try it!). What I will do here is to share the available shades and swatches you might want to view before heading down to Guardian Singapore to get yours.
Six available shades:
Socialite - a bright peach with pink undertones
Outrageous - a bright red with orange tones
Psyched - a bright red with pink undertones. Slightly cooler than Outrageous.
Get Real - mauve nude with cool undertones. Recommended for fair skin tones.
Flirtatious - sexy purple. Olive skin tones please avoid.
Scandalous - deep berry. One layer will reflect as red; Two layers as wine red, more layers = vampy dark red.
Texture:
Creamy and applies like a lip balm. However, because of its pigments, it is less moisturising than the usual lip balm. Dries to a slick muted sheen on lips.
Lasting Power:
It's a balm, not exactly a lipstick (although the pigmentation totally looks like one) so please don't expect much lasting power. For me, all gone after a salad meal.
In my opinion, I think swatches and lip swatches are not visual enough/holistic. So I included my unabashed selfies/MOTD with each shade. #sorrynotsorry
