Towards the end of last year, around the same time as Sephora Christmas collection markdown is when some of the permanent products from a few brands are being heavily discounted. Among the brands are Marc Jacobs, Too Faced, BareMinerals and Stila. I have been swatching BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lipstick countless of times but I did not ended up buying them because frankly speaking, it was the testers that put me off. It was really gross and dirty that I didn’t swatch all shade at one go and that explains why I kept going back for swatching. Secondly is due to the melted lipstick tester. I have a philosophy on lipstick. If it was melted at the store, that means the lipstick is prone to melt in my room or my bag.
It was during a short trip to Sephora Gurney Paragon in Penang last weekend that had me finally purchasing BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie. Initially I wanted to get something from Marc Jacobs New Nude Sheer Lip Gel but I couldn’t decide on the shade so I wander around the store and stopped by BareMinerals. The testers are surprisingly quite new and I was happy. I decided on a fuchsia pink; Never Say Never. Unfortunately it was out of stock and they only left with two shades; Get Ready and Be Free. Be Free is not an everyday wearable shade because it is a bronzey chocolate while Get Ready is actually my kind of shade all day err day. I really didn’t want anymore ‘everyday shade’. It doesn’t seems like I have a choice so I got Get Ready. The BA even tried persuading me to take two Get Ready so that they can clear it all out fast lol. You know what, I really regretted for not listening to her and get two.
