This is an obsolete product being phased out in 2011 and were no more by 2012. Around the same time, HBC in SM San Lazaro was doing a closing sale on December 2011 and shortly were gone  from the mall soon after. This purchase has a historical value for me.

I was drawn to the testers because of the shades #12 and #11, they looked like perfectly nude and peachy nude shades. Another shade was on my wishlist, which had a grape color, pero hindi ko na naabutan dahil nagsara na sila. 

The casing is made of cute pearly material with gold outlines. The shades are difficult to remember because they are just identified by numbers. The lipstick has a strong detergent soap scent, but it was the bitter aftertaste and burning sensation on the throat that made it repulsive. I think it's the castor oil.

You get a pleasing creamy glide on the lips and the finish is creamy matte. The staying power is so-so and re-application every two hours is needed. After the first hour, the lips begin to feel drying in a burning way and leaves my lips feathering on the edges.

I finally put my feet down and thought... "nah!". It has a special place in my heart because of the historical association with it.

As of 2020, the lipstick is still here:
