I have previously written a review for the old version, which is the same lipstick but an older design. I fancy both old and new versions and they are cute in each of their own way. The new version smells like peppery bubblegum and is a nice smell.
The formula and performance is exactly the same as the old -- a very thick opaque waxy finish that lasts all day. Ganyan ang lipstick na maganda! You get a matte finish with a tiny bit of sheen and the lips feel confidently moisturized all day.
This lipstick has 10 shades in total, but not all branches are complete. So far, I know that SM Cubao, SM Makati, and SM North EDSA are complete. Some of the shade names are misnomers. For example, Royal Carrot is actually a very beautiful coral pink shade. The Flare is a true orange lipstick (if you are looking for one this is it!). Please scroll down for the complete shade descriptions.
