Sophie Martin J'adore Lipsticks

Don't you just feel great when you discover something that is inexpensive yet has very good quality? Let me introduce my favorite everyday lipstick, Sophie J'adore lipstick!

Sophie Martin Paris offers unique range of fashion bags, shoes, accessories, and cosmetics. They sell products that are affordable yet very sturdy and the quality is really great! My favorite is their J'adore lipstick that I wear everyday in the office or during weekends at the mall.


What I like about this product is that you get so much out of your money and each tube lasts a long time. The colors are really great, pigmented and perfect for everyday wear.
Available colors are:
  • Ice Pink
  • Summer Pink
  • Caramel Sugar
  • Velvet Nude
  • Red Wine
  • Fantastic Red
  • Mango Peach
  • Cotton Peach
  • Red Pepper
  • Russian Red


This line of lipstick comes in 10 shades but I only got 6 just because I thought the other 4 were of similar shades with the ones that I already have. But if you are the type who likes collecting lipsticks then I suggest getting all 10 shades. You won't be splurging too much anyway since they are really cheap.

PRICE: Php 79.00 per lipstick tube

Here are swatches:
Velvet Nude is not the perfect nude lipstick if you are in search for one. But the shade is still nice and decent. It is a mixture of peach with a little hint of brown. This shade is perfect for those who want to look pretty but not overly done.


Mango Peach is a coral peach lipstick that is perfect for summer. It looks so fresh and will definitely go well with your summer dress or maxi dress. It is also perfect for everyday wear as the shade is not too bright or strong but it is still pigmented.


Summer Pink is a light pink lipstick and as the name says, it is also perfect for summer. The shade is light and not very pigmented but is is buildable. Perfect for that sweet and demure look.


This is the best seller and also my favorite out of all the 10 shades. Ice Pink is a bright pink with blue undertone. For MAC lovers, it is similar with MAC's Pink Nouveau however it is not the exact dupe of it. If you love the shade but just can't afford the MAC yet, then I suggest getting this one. You may also want to buy one or two more tubes as this shade often gets out of stock because it's very saleable (I just hoarded 6!).


Fantastic Red is a very pretty red. It is red but it doesn't scream "Hey, look at me! I'm red!" It reminds me a little of NYX's Snow White but then again it is not the exact dupe of it. Look gorgeous with this sexy yet tame red shade.



Now, this Red Pepper right here is the one that literally screams "Look at me, I'm RED!" lipstick. It is so pigmented and bright. What so nice about this shade is that it is bright yet it doesn't make teeth look yellowish. It also comes in semi-matte finish so the look is really very sexy and sophisticated.


PROS:

  • Very affordable
  • Comes in 10 great shades
  • Pigmented
  • The colors are wearable
  • Great for everyday use

CONS:

  • Doesn't last too long on the lips
  • Hard to find if you don't know any Sophie Sellers
  • Could be a little drying and make lips look chapped
  • Darker shades stain lips until the next day

I really love this lipstick and I am thrilled that it is only P79 pesos per tube considering that it is really great! I recommend this to people who are in search of affordable products. I also always recommend this lipstick to my friends who are just starting to build their train case.
