P2 Pure Colour Lipsticks


today i want to show you some lipsticks from the dm-brand P2, the Pure Colour Lipsticks. i have 4 colours, there are 1 or 2 more i want to purchase before they get rid of some shades.
these lipsticks are very creamy and opaque, so they are moisturising but on the downside also very slippery and last only about 2-3 hours on my lips. the new formula is said to be longer lasting and bold colours don't tend to bleed into fine lines around your lips as the old one. i recently purchased two of the reformulated shades, and i notice that the texture is different in terms of the creamyness: the old formula was more opaque and pigmented and had a liquidy slip to them, while the newer lipsticks are a little bit more transparent and feel more glycerin-y slippery and smoother. all of them are cream-finishes, so without shimmers. they are named after famous shopping boulevards.
i really like them (except for the packaging), they are very cheap (about 2€) and offer a bunch of different colours, from the pale nude to the dark and bold colours. i like them better than, let's say, the Rouge Voluptés from YSL, which are marketed with the same attributes: opaque colours, very creamy. both have ugly packaging, both don't last long on your lips. but YSL is 15 times the price of P2, and some shades are even grittier than these cheapo drugstore ones.

bare lips for comparison

#20 - Sunset Boulevard
a light, pink nude. too light and cool toned for me, so i cut it off to melt it to mix a customized shade (but this i will show you another time ;) )



#30 Park Street
a medium brown-peach-rosewood mix. this is a reformulated lipstick. first i thought it would be a dupe for MAC's Brave New Bronze (Style Warriors LE), but when swatched next to each other,  BNB is more peachy-brown while the red hue is more apparent in Park Street.

#70 Regent Street

#130 Kö
a bold magenta. also new formula.
