Let’s start with the mirror, since there will be less to talk about.
I love the mirror! It looks beautiful in person and its very good quality. There is no distortion in the mirror. The plastic handle feels smooth and almost alittle suede like. I don’t know how to describe it but it feels really nice in the hands. The size of the mirror is just right for the full face.
Now the lipstick ...
Pigmentation - Its very pigmented.
Finish - This is a matte lipstick but it does not look overly dry. I have very dry lips but this does not make my lips more dry than usual.
Lasting power - when a thick layer is applied, it does stain the cup when i drink. But when i pat off excess with a tissue, the remaining color is still quite vibrant but it doesn’t come off when i drink. Quite impressive!
I wore it over 4-5 hours and only had a yogurt during that time. It started feeling alittle uncomfortable, dry when i entered airconditioning environment. I applied lipbalm over it and it stopped feeling dry. Applying lipbalm over it doesn't disturb the lipcolor, but it will leave marks on cups.
After eating frozen yogurt, it looks alittle patchy up close. The parts nearest to the insides of my mouth starts wearing off but its not obvious from a normal human distance (ie. an arms length away). If i had eaten a meal, it will probably need reapplication. I clean it off with neutrogena oil free eye makeup remover (2 phase) and it comes right off. There is no staining to the lips, but it does adhere to the skin very well.
Smell - i’m happy to report this is fragrance free or at least it does not contain perfume. There is a faint scent that’s non offensive.
Packaging - the texture is similar to the mirror. Smooth and alittle suede like, feels very nice indeed. However i’m not a fan of square lipstick tubes, they are bulky and the square edges just doesn’t feel as good as round tubes.
Overall - Very impressed with both items. 3CE can be quite pricey but i feel they are worth paying more for. I will try other products from this brand in the future.
It applies better on the lips vs skin as the texture of our lips are different when compared with our body
