SanSan Hydrating Color Dew Lipstick Review

***Before I begin with this review, please take note that I will post pictures of the products so that you'll see that I really USE them. I dropped my digital camera (yes, I'm still using a digi cam!) and the lens won't function :-( I had it checked but, gack! repair would cost me around Php5000! So I'm still thinking whether I'll have it fixed ('cause it's a precious gift from mom!) or I'll just buy a new one. But don't worry, I'll upload the pictures soon!***

SanSan Hydrating Color Dew Lipstick
Php85/4g

I bought this one together with the Thick Lash mascara. I got it in shade 07, a really nice deep red color. What can I say, it's really hydrating! I left my vanity kit at home and I really can't stand without anything on my lips, it just feels too dry and bland. Red lips is my favorite when I feel lazy to work on my eye makeup. I just curl my lashes then apply mascara, and skip any eyelid base and eyeliner altogether. Voila! A look that's inspired by Anne Curtis. (I saw her at Makati before and I was in awe. She's so pretty and cute in person!)

Pros:

1. Affordable
2. Truly hydrating! Since I forgot my vanity kit the day I bought this, I didn't have even a lipbalm with me. So I had no choice but to apply this alone. It didn't dry up my lips and the color is very flattering (for medium-skinned beauties, like me! hehe)
3. Has SPF 15 as well as Vitamins A, C and E
4. Good packaging. It's small and can be easily stashed in any purse.
5. Has a fairly good staying power, compared with my Maybelline Watershine Lipstick. It didn't fade that much even after eating and drinking. It leaves a nice just-bitten stain on my lips.

Cons:

1. Has a strong vanilla scent. At least for me I think it smells like Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace. I mean, I'm okay with lip sticks being slightly scented, but in this case, it's just overpowering.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5
I love pretty much everything about this product, except for its overpowering scent. It kind of makes me dizzy. I would think twice of repurchasing it, or totally forget about it. I'm not into testing the products in stores like this, so I wasn't able to see how it really feels on my lips. It was just an impulsive buy and it's cheap, anyway. Like I've said in my previous post, SanSan can deliver quality products but there's always a little drawback in it.
