Review: Snoe Handy Candy Lip Color

Hello! Another week has ended and I'm sure some of you are going to the mall to unwind this weekend (if the weather cooperates, that is). While you're there, you may want to check out this really cute and kikay item from Snoe! :)

It's my first time to see something like this. What's so special about this keychain? Well, it's not just a keychain...

...it's also a mini lip color palette! It's the Handy Candy Lip Color keychain, yet another one of Snoe's unique products! 

Description (from Snoe): Snoe Handy Candy Lip Color. Features a trio of pure candy colored lipstick shades in a convenient travel friendly pot with key chain. Change your lip color wherever and whenever!

First let's talk about the packaging. I like that it's really very handy, and it can fit inside my small makeup kit. Easy to carry around. 

Look how small it is.

Actual size (well, almost)

And you can hang this wherever you want because it has a key ring. It doesn't come with a lip brush, though. So if you're not used to using your fingers to apply your lip color, then I suggest you bring a small lip brush with you.

This mini lipstick palette contains three shades - Bubblegum, Strawberry Shake, Milk Chocolate.

L-R: Bubblegum, Strawberry Shake, Milk Chocolate

Swatches:

On my lips...

Bubblegum is like a true pink shade. Strawberry Shake is pinkish red. Milk Chocolate, though it looks so brown in the palette, is more of a red shade with a hint of brown. And, as you can see, these are not entirely matte but not really glossy either.

Here's a picture of me wearing a combination of Strawberry Shake and Milk Chocolate.

These lip colors don't dry my lips but they aren't moisturizing either. I still use lip balm under it. As for the wear, the color stays on for several hours on my lips when I just leave it alone. After eating and drinking, the color fades a bit and leaves a stain but I still like to retouch to keep my lips from looking all blotchy.

Like:

• Cute packaging
• Travel-friendly, easy to carry in my bag
• Contains three lip shades that, on my lips, do not look similar with each other
• Covers my natural lip color well
• Color stays on my lips for several hours (maybe 4-5), leaves a stain after eating/drinking
• No unpleasant scent - it kinda has a subtle chocolatey scent that's not noticeable when the product's on the lips already
• Doesn't dry my lips
• Affordable - Priced at P159 for three colors
• Available in all Snoe stores and counters, even online - View store locations *here*

Not so like:

• Personal preference: I don't like lip colors in palette form very much. Medyo mas hassle kasi i-apply, kailangan pa ng brush. 
• Stains my fingers whenever I use them to apply the color. Nothing my wipes can't handle, though. 
• Limited shades - Not for those who aren't into dark-ish shades.

So that's it! If you don't mind lip products that aren't it a stick/tube form, you may want to check this out. It's really affordable. And you may want to read my reviews of other Snoe products *here.* The packaging and the catchy labels of their products will surely catch your eye! :)
