Memoirs of a cursed chapstick.

You must be thinking, how could a chapstick be cursed? Because fairy godmother created it with a slight weave of her wand, in hope to make Cinderella more beautiful as she already is.

Unfortunately, all good things will come to an end. Surely, there must be evil forces behind all the fairytale. Typical is it?

As typical as it seems, Cinderella's stepsisters are jealous of her. They cast a curse on one of Cinderella's chapstick. Snickering after attempting the curse .... they knew the chapstick would make Cinderella ugly, and prince charming would soon be theirs!

(Disclaimer: If you know what Cinderella is all about, by now you should've realized that some parts are made up for the fun of it. No offense.)

So, what is the cursed chapstick?

If you've read my previous post, it should be obvious by now.

That is - jeng jeng jeng .... Revlon colourburst lipstick in 070 soft nude!

Why is it cursed you say? I'll tell you why.

Notice how the lipstick is out of place? The 'Revlon' word imprinted on the lipstick is not align with the lipstick casing.

Brace yourselves - the horror has just begun!


Look at this! My goodness. The back of the lipstick is literally scrapped off! Note the ugly marks? The bottom of the lipstick is pure horror. Disgusting, actually.


This is what I am saying, the lipstick is cursed! Look how slanted it is! The chapstick is broken as such that it will slant here and there when I want to apply it on my lips.

Literally, you can pluck the entire thing off and dispose it for good.

Despite of all the nonsense, the chapstick melts. When I touched it with my fingers, the consistency of the lipstick is unlike one. To my absolute horror, the consistency of the lipstick is like a lip gloss!

The texture of it is soft. So soft that it will shatter if I press the lipstick hard enough.
Glossy sounds sexy, but trust me, a lipstick being described as such is simply horrendous.
Yes, glossy. Because lipsticks are not meant to be!


Plus, the thing broke on me after I've purchased it like - 2 days ago? In the beginning it melted, then it broke. Sad but true.

2 DAYS AGO! HELLO?

I've regretted purchasing it at Pyramid. Because the place is very far from my house. I can't return it for a new one because you can only do so within 3 days? I think. And, I can't drive.

I bet I had the cursed one because other people are raving about how great this lipstick is.

Maybe the lipstick is displayed under high lightings, thus it melted? You tell me.

Whatever the reason may be, even if the lipstick has a softer texture, I don't see how can it melt and break so easily.

Unless it is cursed. I would love to believe that but we are in the modern world. Cinderella does not exist.

Apart from that, the colour is not very pigmented. I have to apply several times for the colour to pop. Moisturising only when recently applied. After a few hours, it will dry on your lips.

This lipstick melts and solidify pretty quickly I would say. What an unstable lipstick. (Pun intended)

Application wise was good, because it was glossy. Yeah, and it melted.

Apart from that. The packaging is pretty decent. Comparing it with the Rimmel one, the plastic cover is more classy and the lid does not fall off so easily.

What is the point of all that if the lipstick is so lousy?

Revlon lipstick is affordable, but definitely not cheap. Rm 35.90 for such quality is considered expensive.

I'll have to depot the lipstick into a separate container. Extra cost.

To me, this lipstick has won an utmost disappointment award. Never purchase it unless you want to be cursed.
