Some Shanghai Suzy Lippie Swatchies

Apologies for the weird post title! Man, the cold snap has returned today! Apparently it was the coldest morning in Sydney for 5 years! What was even more annoying was when the automated air conditioning at my work decided to blast cool air into my room this morning! What a wake up call! A couple of month's ago I bought two lipsticks from Shanghai Suzy's latest collection (from my hairdresser). I love the lipsticks from Shanghai Suzy! I have so many now!

This collection, we saw a new formula addition to the current nourish and matte formulas, named shimmer. The packaging of the lipsticks were also updated from an entire black case to a black bottom with a clear lid. I did like the old packaging as there was a sticker matching the shade on top of the lid but oh well! 

After a few swatches of the entire collection, I decided on Miss Cassandra Peony and Mrs French Winter Maroon. Miss Cassandra Peony is a nourish formula which what I normally prefer, however, this one was a little too slippery for me so it tends to disappear from the lips faster than normal. It is a gorgeous medium pink and very wearable all year round! Mrs French Winer Maroon is a matte formula. It is very comfortable on the lips and not that drying. There is a little traction when the lips are rubbed together but otherwise it stays put quite well before eating and drinking. I love this deep red wine shade and it has been on regular rotation this winter!

I'm also eyeing off Miss Tanielle Desert Rose and Miss Victorine Classic Red. Shanghai Suzy lipsticks are super affordable at $12.95. You can purchase them from the online store (has buy 3 get 1 free deal!) as well as from their many stockists around Australia.
