Sunnies Face

From the same company that brought us Sunnies Specs and Sunnies Café, now comes Sunnies Face. I think it’s the way how Filipinos love skincare and makeup that makes the cosmetics industry boom like crazy – much more if prominent influencers and celebrities launch their own, supported by big names or otherwise. I am not much of a lippie person but when my mom told me that I looked so pale, I turned to some lipsticks to give me some color (though you would still see me with nothing but lip gloss on some days).

I have seen the cult following and hype that this brand has created by seeing people line up for hours just to get their hands for a bullet or two. The site has crashed down on opening day and other online platforms are all sold out. I don’t know if it’s a publicity stunt but as their spokesperson would say, they are still new to the biz and are still learning the ropes of the trade. But paying rent, payroll and utility expenses without any inventory to sell on a daily basis is something else, don’t you think?

Why was I able to score one? This mall outlet has a few items left, i.e, all shades are not available except for “Mood” and “Hot Sauce”. I lean towards browns and nudes and I had qualms on the remaining shades. You know, red and mauve are quite daunting for me and I feel like they are very challenging to wear. So I got my brother pick one for me and he suggested that I get the red one. Since it is buildable, I can tone it down to a light and subtle pink or go with a fiery and bold red. Well, this is the only red lipstick that I could carry simply by looking at the swatches.

There were no long queues when we dropped by the store, hence, we were able to snap some photos - I am loving the sleek interiors of pink and cream.

Appropriately named as “Fluffmatte”, the lipstick is lightweight, non-drying, pigmented and has a velvety finish. In addition, the product in the bullet has a suede texture. The design and packaging is spot on too. It is well to note that this is formulated in Italy but made in China. They offer 9 shades that are very wearable for all skin tones, not just for the lips but for eyes and cheeks as well.
