Hi guys! I have a lipstick review for you guys. It is a from a local brand called Purbasari. These matte lipsticks have been out for a while, but just got popular as the trend of matte lipsticks rise. They retail for about IDR 28.000-40.000 in online shops.

Halo semuanya! Aku punya review lipstick untuk kalian. Ini dari brand lokal yang bernama Purbasari. Lipstick matte ini sudah ada cukup lama, tapi jadi populer seiring dengan tren matte lipstick mulai bermunculan. Harganya berkisar antara IDR 28.000-40.000 di online shop.


The writing on the back of the packaging :

"INOVASI TERBARU DENGAN PELEMBAB"
Tahan lama dan tidak mengkilap
Terasa ringan pada bibir Anda
Melembabkan bibir
Warna tidak pudar sehingga penampilan Anda akan tetap segar

Translation:
"NEWEST INNOVATION WITH MOISTURIZER"
Long-lasting and non-shiny
Feels lightweight on your lips
Moisturizes the lips
Colour doesn't fade so that your appearance will stay fresh


Packaging


These lipsticks have an elegant look to it. The colour black and gold really suit each other well and it looks like a high-end lipstick from afar. It has a click sound when opening or closing the product. However, when you hold the product itself, it does feel like plastic and seems really fragile. So, you should avoid dropping it.

Lipstick ini punya penampilan yang elegan. Warna hitam dan emasnya sangat cocok dan terlihat seperti lipstick mahal dari jauh. Lipstick ini punya suara klik saat membuka dan menutup produknya. Akan tetapi, ketika kita memegang produknya sendiri, lipsticknya terasa seperti plastik dan sepertinya sangat rapuh. Jadi, kamu harus hindari menjatuhkannya.

Swatches


When swatched on my hand, they glided on my hand smoothly. However, I noticed that #86 was much more creamier than the other two and thus they were easier to apply.

Saat dioleskan di tanganku, lipstick-lipsticknya teroles dengan halus. Akan tetapi, aku menyadari bahwa #86 lebih creamy daripada dua lipstick yang lain dan oleh karena itu lebih gampang untuk diaplikasikan.

#81 Diamond


This is a really pretty everyday nude shade, with hint of grey in it. I find that this lipstick really suits my skin tone very well. This looks really natural on my lips.

Warna ini sangat cantik untuk setiap hari, dengan hint warna abu-abu. Aku menyadari bahwa warna yang ini sangat cocok dengan warna kulitku. Terlihat sangat natural di bibir.

#83 Piruz


This is also a colour with a greyish hint to it. It is a brownish mauve colour. It also suits my skin tone really well.

Warna ini juga punya sedikit hint abu-abu. Warnanya mauve kecoklatan, yang juga sangat cocok di warna kulitku.

#86 Topaz


I feel like this colour is the most unique colour I've ever seen on a lipstick. It is a brick red colour that also looks brownish in some lightings.

I really like to apply a little bit on the center on the lips and then blend it out with my fingers. It gives such a natural tint on my lips as it suits my skin tone really well as well as the other 2 colours above.

Aku merasa warna yang ini adalah warna terunik yang pernah aku lihat di lipstick. Warnanya merah bata yang juga terlihat coklat di beberapa pencahayaan.

Aku juga suka memakai lipstick ini sedikit di tengah bibir dan setelah itu aku baur dengan jariku. Hal ini memberikan warna natural yang sangat cantik di bibirku karena warna ini juga sangat cocok dengan warna kulitku, sama seperti 2 warna lain di atas.

Product

The product itself is really really amazing. It is moisturizing, feels lightweight on the lips and the colours are really pretty, too. The lasting power is also amazing, as it lasted well as long as you don't eat or drink.

I also noticed that the longer you wear the product, the longer you don't feel it on the lips. I sometimes forget that I'm wearing the lipstick.

The downside is that it does transfer on the first 2 hours upon application. After that, it doesn't transfer as much.

Produknya sendiri sangat sangat bagus. Lipsticknya melembabkan, terasa ringan di bibir dan warna-warnanya juga sangat bagus. Ketahanannya juga bagus, karena lipstick ini tahan di bibirku selama aku tidak makan atau minum.

Aku juga menyadari bahwa semakin lama aku memakai produknya, semakin lipsticknya tidak terasa ada di bibir. Aku kadang lupa bahwa aku sedang memakai lipstick.

Kelemahannya adalah lipsticknya transfer di 2 jam pertama setelah pemakaian. Setelah itu, lipsticknya tidak transfer terlalu banyak.



I know that this product was hit by news saying that it contained mercury. It started from a beauty blogger who tested the product with gold. Initially, products that don't contain mercury should be fine and not turn black when rubbed with gold. If it turns black, that means that the product contains mercury.
Purbasari official instagram account responded to this and demonstrated their test on their products with real gold, along with its sertificate and it didn't turn black. Later on the caption, they explained that the reaction is caused by silver that is in impure gold.
So, problem solved.

Aku tahu bahwa produk ini sempat dihujam dengan berita bahwa produknya mengandung merkuri. Semuanya berawal dari seorang beauty blogger yang mengetes produknya dengan emas. Jadi, produk yang tidak mengandung merkuri harusnya tidak apa-apa dan tidak berubah menjadi hitam ketika diusap dengan emas. Jika berubah hitam, itu berarti produknya mengandung merkuri.
Akun instagram official Purbasari merespon berita ini dan mendemonstrasikan tes mereka pada produk mereka dengan logam mulia, dengan sertifikat emasnya, dan produknya tidak berubah hitam. Pada captionnya, mereka menjelaskan bahwa reaksi tersebut dikarenakan ada silver pada emas yang tidak murni.
Jadi, masalah selesai.

  • Moisturizes the lips. True
  • Feels lightweight on your lips. Extremely true
