Kissme Heavy Rotation Milky Matte Lips Swatches

Kissme is a Japanese drugstore brand, found in drugstores here locally for relatively reasonable prices. The Kissme Heavy Rotation Milky Matte Lips (what a mouthful of a product name) are a bunch of pale nude lip colours with a very pronounced matte finish, not unlike the NARS Pure Matte Lipsticks released sometime back. The difference is, these are all in light shades, whereas NARS had theirs in a wider range of colours.

There are four shades in all. 01 Pure Pink is a very pale nude pink; 02 Vanilla Pink is more like pale peach with hint of pink; 03 Sweet Pink is a pinky peach, and is pale but not as "nude lips"-like as 1 and 2; and 04 Cinnamon Pink is the darkest, also a little bit leaning towards orange. I'd call it a peach with hint of cinnamon.

All the colours are very pale, nude lip (or corpse-lip, depending on your skintone) type of concealer-ish colours. They have a very heavy matte texture and are a tad drying. I recall some bloggers/makeup artists using actual concealer on lips for that extreme nude lip effect, I imagine this is probably similar (except that it might not taste as bad as concealer).

Pure Pink and Vanilla Pink are so pretty!

Wow, Cinnamon Pink is gorgeous. The other colors are really pretty but on me - it'd definitely be the concealer effect, which is none too flattering on me. Still it's really cool that a drugstore brand is coming out with colors like these. I feel like in the US, drugstore brands generally tend to usually release less modern shades than a lot of higher end brands do.

I have never heard of this brand but I am interested in trying it out. I so love the colors especially the vanilla pink.
