I only had one product from Savvy
and it was a baked eyeshadow. I bought a while back when they had a sale and it
cost only $3 other than that, I really didn’t think much of the brand. One of
my friend at work raves about their lipsticks. Savvy is an Australian brand
cosmetic which affordable price. Priceline was having a sale where you pay 3
products for the price of 2 so I decided to go and get a few to test out.
I ended up getting 3 of their
matte lipsticks out of either 8 or 10 shades. Usually they are $6.99 AUD but
because of the 3 for 2 deal, it works out to be less than $5 each. The colours
I picked are:
- Bali
- Morroco
- Vegas
The lipstick is slim and slightly taller than other
brand of lipstick. Above you can see the comparison between the Savvy, MAC and
Rimmel.
I accidently dropped one of the lipsticks on the
floor and the end where it shows the colour fell off. I can be easily placed
back on the lipstick. I found it’s interesting how they put some of the product
in the bottom cap. If you run out of your lipstick and you really need want to
use that colour, you can get some from the cap hehe.
Usually I won’t go for a matte lipstick because my
lips are quite dry. Hence, I was a bit hesitant in buying them. I did a
swatched when I was at Priceline and they weren’t too bad on the hand. During
the winter months my lips are dry so I applied a light layer of lip balm on my
lips first before I apply the lipstick.
The lipsticks have good pigmentation and leave a
good matte effect without making the lips feel dry and cracked. My favourite
colour out of the three is Vegas. I love the light red/orange shade and it
doesn’t make my skin tone looks dark like some colours do.
VERDICT:
4/5.
These matte lipsticks have amazing pigmentation and last on the lips for a
while. I had lunch with a cup of coffee and it still stayed on nicely. The
colour faded a bit but not so much that I had to re-apply. I don’t mind the
packaging, it’s nice and slim. And for the price you’re paying, cheap plastic
will have to do. The down side is the colours range. As I mentioned before
there are about 8 to 10 shades but half of the shades are either nude or very
light. For someone who has medium tone or dark complexion, there aren’t many to
choose from. I couldn’t pick a nice natural colour for my lips and I always
judge lipsticks by that hence minus 1 mark.
Have you tried these lipsticks before? Let me know
what you think of them.
