Aido Classic Lipstick in Shade H, F and K: Review and Swatches

Hi there! Long time no post! :D I RARELY update my blog because I'm just toooo busy.

I'm hoping that 2014 is gonna be a big year for me. This year I'll be graduating (hooooray!), then on March I'll be taking my ECT board exam and then my ECE board exam will be on September. So yea... I got a lot of studyin to do and I just can't squeeze in some time to write blog posts.

But voila here I am today and I'm gonna make a review about Aido Classic Lipsticks!


These lippies are just soooo affordable! They retail for only Php50 each! So I went ahead and bought 3 of em. lol

I got shade H, F and K. That's such a creative way of naming lippies! and I'm being sarcastic here in case you can't tell. Why would you even name lippies like that? -_-

Make-up junkies out there all know that Aido Cosmetics offers really cheap makeups and tools. They are also locally available and you can find them in Watsons stores and SM malls. (although not all Watson stores carry this brand)

According to the package, this lipstick is made in Taiwan. The ingredients are also printed out on the packaging and the manufacturing date and batch number are also included which is a good thing since we get to estimate when it will expire.

Yey for affordable make-ups! ヾ(●ω●)ノ
I got shade K and F just because the SA told me they were pretty shades but what really got my attention was shade H and I find myself reaching for this more often.

Here's the swatches:
I already labeled them to avoid confusion :)
On my lips, shade K and F looks so alike that sometimes I get confused which shade I'm wearing. haha but actually, K is a little warmer than F.

Let's look at it's swatches on my lips:
BARE lips

Here's shade F on my lips. It's a wearable bright pink color but I'm not really into bright pinks so I don't use this often.

Now, here's shade K, which is more subdued than shade F but I'm still not fond of it. haha

And now onto my favorite shade! Shade H:

My skin is peeling in case you noticed in the picture! lol. Shade H may not look like much but it's actually a very pretty coral/peachy shade and it's my first time to wear a peachy lippie that didn't made me look sick that's why I really liked it.

So let's sum up my review of this lippies:

Pros:

  • Very good pigmentation
  • Super affordable for only 50 pesos each!
  • locally available
  • many shades to choose from
  • creamy and moisturizing enough
  • no weird scent
Cons:
  • plastic packaging does not seem sturdy and it looks cheap :\
  • it does not last long at all. lol
Will I buy this again? Ideally, yes I may buy this again since I kinda liked it but I'll look for other shades. However, I have so many lipsticks and I rarely use them so I need to restrain buying things I won't actually use that much. :D

I rate this lippie 3 out of 5!

Till next post reader! xoxo,
