Half of the year is over. And I’m happy to tell you that I discovered several lip products since January that have become my “ride or die.”

The Battle of the Lippies is a series in my blog where I review all lip products that I bought this year (and late last year, around December). I’ve got so many lip products that I’m so excited to share with you. By the way, if you want me to review a certain lippie, don’t be shy. Okay? Let me know! I’m always on the market for great lippies.

To keep my review brief, I will limit the factors considered to the following: (a) longevity, (b) moisture, and © price. These three (3) are the main factors I consider in determining whether or not a product gets into my makeup bag. In short, something I carry on a daily basis.

The first product for the Battle of the Lippies Series is the L'Oreal Paris in Chocolat Rouge.

L'Oreal Paris Chocolat Rouge is from the Matte Parisian Browns collection. A collection of modern matte lipsticks in shades of nudes and browns inspired by the allure of Paris. Wew. Hehe.

Honestly, I got this out of impulse. I was just walking around the Beauty Section of SM Department Store when I decided, “The hell, I want a new lipstick!” Oh God, I hate myself.. But that money was WELL spent ‘cause this one has quickly made its way into my makeup bag.

I don’t know why but Chocolat Rouge makes me feel beautiful. Two (2) swipes of this on my lips and I’m good to go. I won’t need any other beauty product, seriously. Chocolat Rouge stays on my lips for more or less five (5) hours even without re-application, which is pretty long in my opinion. My lips neither look and feel dry nor patchy whenever I use this. It has a creamy application, too. It does not tug my lips.

Let me show you how it works magic on mah fes. Below is a photo of me in “I-woke-up-like-this” mode. My lip color is literally white. Hahaha!

After 2 swipes of Chocolat Rouge and voila. Check me out! I look so alive.

I cannot remember how much this was when I bought it but I’m sure it was less than five hundred pesos (Php 500.00). Since I was impulse buying at that time, I didn’t mind the price. But now I realize that if I was not craving for a lippie, I wouldn’t buy this one. In terms of shopping for lip products, I consider anything above three hundred pesos (Php 300.00) as too much. I don’t know. What do you think?

What I love about Chocolat Rouge is that it does not let me down. I hate lip products that disappear on me. Ung iiwan ka lang sa ere. Nagmumuka akong zombie or may sakit or stressed e. Everyone loves a reliable lip product. I love how Chocolat Rouge literally gives life not only to my lips but also to my life. Yikkeee!

This is how I look like after I did my brows and put on some concealer on my under eye area and subtle blush on my cheeks. Pak na pak ang no-makeup makeup look diba!? Taray to the highest level.

What I do not love about Chocolat Rouge is NONE. I love it. Iz my preciouz. Hahaha!
