Hello everyone! Today I am going to write a review on the Indonesian-made Wardah Exclusive Matte Lip Cream in shade 01: RED-DICTED.
Initially, I was never interested to own any lip products from this brand because based on my experience, Malaysian-made lip products are often "meh" for me. I wouldn't say bad, but I was just never that impressed. So I figured Indonesian lip products must not be any different... until I tested this particular matte lip cream! I went window shopping with a friend at our local drugstore (watsons at Suria Sabah Shopping Mall, if I am not mistaken) and she made me paint her lips with wardah lip cream in this exact shade, i.e. code 01. I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with the hue. It's the kind of red I've been looking for this whole time!!! Unfortunately, payday was like a fortnight away at that time (that's right I don't get paid enough to even buy a lipstick at my heart's will. Big work, small pay. Huh!) so I reluctantly kept my cool and muttered softly to the precious lip cream, "I will be back for you". Still a better love story than Twilight
Alright! Enough blabbering and let's proceed with the main review. Kalau saya merapu, sampai tahun depan pun tidak habis
PRICE & PACKAGING
I bought this during the recent watsons online SALE at RM 20 only (NP: RM35). The packaging is so-so. Nothing that impressive. Normal box and normal glass tube. Simplicity is the key right? Haha no further comment on this.
The applicator is slightly different compared to the other lip products I ever own. You can't see it very clearly in the picture but you'll know what I'm talking about if you've ever tested the product yourself. I actually like this very much, as the application is smoother with this one. Maybe because it was angled in a way that it allows you to reach every nook-and-cranny of your lips. I was also able to line my lips without even using a lipliner.
SWATCHES
Look at the colour! Are you in love yet? 💕 (with the lip cream, not the person hahaha)
Long-lasting guaranteed. Even after eating and drinking, the colour stays. It fades a bit, but not to the point where it is drastically noticeable. It doesn't smudge too! However, after application, let it sit for a while first. Do not blot your lips. Do not eat or drink. Just wait for it to settle first for a few minutes, thennnn you're good to go. It will still transfer a little, but you'll find it will not change the intensity that much. Ok la baitu, harga pun bukannya RM200
Oh! one more thing, this matte lip cream is non-drying. So no appearance of chapped lips. Just make sure you prep your lips with lip primer and/ or lip balm first. (This is just my experience. What works for me may not work for you^^)
CRUELTY-FREE STATUS
Unknown :( I really hope they don't test on animals, though. If anyone has information regarding this matter, please do let me know. Thanks!
INGREDIENTS
The ingredients are listed in the table below. Based on cosdna (updated as of December 2017), the ingredients are mostly safe and non-irritant. Although propylparaben is contained in this product, the dose had been lowered so it will not likely cause any harmful reactions. As you can see, propylparaben only serves as a preservative in this product (or any other product, really) so that it will not expire that soon. To me, this doesn't affect my decision to re-purchase or not. But hey you do you. If you insist on avoiding paraben at all cost, then just forget about buying this thing hehe.
Conclusion
All in all, I do recommend you to get one of these. I will certainly re-purchase. Despite the affordable and relevant price, it is actually almost as good (if not better) as some of those high-end products out there. This is absolutely a gem! And good news for my Muslim sisters out there, this lip cream is definitely HALAL 💗
