ASTOR Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter: Ultra Vibrant Color (021 Keep in Touch) Swatch + Demo + Review

This is my first time trying out the ASTOR Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter: Ultra Vibrant Color.

It is avaible in various shades but I got 021 Keep in Touch which is a vibrant red.

On the packaging the product claims to be a Lipbutter with
'MOISTURISING VIBRANT COLOR' with an all in 1 function ,thus containing Vibrant color + Lipbalm + Shine.





The packaging is simple and resembles your moisture balm stick (from CLINIQUE, Bourjois and Rimmel etc) with the twist cap. Nothing special.
Does it smell?
Yes, it does smell a bit artificial.



The tip is slanted making it easy to follow your lip line when applying.



The lipstick itself comes with quite a lot of product.



You can definitely build up the color. On the top: I swatched it only once giving it a slight pinky undertone making it quite wearable for a daytime makeup or a the gradient lip that is very popular in korean culture.

On the bottom: I swatched it twice showing the true color of the lip butter which is a warm red.

The red is very vibrant and has ,as the product claims, a glossy finish
Since the product didn't claim to be longlasting I didn't expect it to stay on for hours.
But the application is definitely smooth and the product itself is very moisturizing with a great color payoff considering it being a drugstore product.


You have to re-apply it after eating and refrain from letting your lips come in contact with anything, thus refrain from kissing your boo since the product slips and slides :(

Other than that it is alright.


Do I recommend it/ Should I buy it?

I wouldn't buy it again. I usually prefer lip tints, lip stains and matte products. Even though it does do what it claims I do not really like it because it slips and slides around too much and I like products with no re-application better. So if you're looking for a moisturizing ,glossy lipbutter with great color pay-off and don't mind re-applying, then this is for you ♥

PROS: 
  • smooth, easy + quick application
  • great color pay-off
  • moisturizing 
  • drugstore (I paid around 7 dollars)



CONS:
  • slips and slides
  • not longlasting
  • you have to re-apply
  • artificial scent
