Makeup Review, Swatches: Kanebo Sensai Collection Rouge Vibrant Cream, Intense Lasting Color Lipstick - Best Winter Matte Red, Sheer Plum Shades 2014
Winter conjures up shades in my head like Cabernets, plums, tomatoes… Warm, rich and luxurious shades will envelop your lips this season. Do you like your lips dark or light? There is a shade out there for everyone.

Kanebo Sensai Collection has two shades to help you achieve the hottest runway trend this winter season: bold lips! If you like your lips bright, à la Marilyn, then I suggest Kanebo Sensai Collection Rouge Vibrant Cream Color Lipstick ($40.00) in Kurenai — a beautiful tomato red that feels like silk on the lips.

A beautiful matte formula that WONT dry out your lips and wears for hours. This lipstick doesn’t bleed, so it’s worth every penny! I don’t know about you, but a bright lipstick that doesn’t bleed is priceless to me. A true luxury.

If you have a more subdued personality, then I might suggest Kanebo Sensai Collection Intense Lasting Color Lipstick ($40.00) in Iwatsutsuji. I may not be able to pronounce the shade, but I can tell you that this formula also has a creamy-soft texture that washes your lips with a plummy tone. Perfect for everyday wear, this texture is a bit more sheer than the Rouge Vibrant Cream Color.
