Splurge vs Save: Your Ultimate Guide to Refillable Lipsticks

Article (news)

<p>“When you’re in a hurry, opt for a bold shade of <strong>lipstick.</strong>” That’s how it always works for women. Whether in school or business, a great lipstick saves the day. But lipsticks nowadays aren’t only for use; they&#x27;re also for display: in the <em>anik-anik</em> of our bags or when reapplying after a dinner date. That’s why consumers delve deeper than formulation; the packaging also matters. These days, consumers don&#x27;t only buy; they extend their support by choosing to purchase sustainable brands.</p><p>These aspects led beauty brands to develop a lipstick that works in both ways: <strong>refillable lipsticks.</strong> Not only does it give the nostalgic feeling of twisting the bullet lipstick, but it is also easy to control with your preferred finish. A subtle natural? Just dab it. A full matte? Swipe it thoroughly. Pouty lips? Outline it and layer it in ombré. Below, we&#x27;ve curated a list of refillable lipsticks that are either worth the splurge or affordable in usage. Scroll ahead! </p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>SPLURGE: LUXURY REFILLABLE LIPSTICKS</strong></div><p>It&#x27;s no secret that we&#x27;ve always been drawn to the stunning packaging of luxury lipsticks. They often serve as little decorative items on our dresser, or a beautiful item to bring out during touch-ups outside. Some of our favorites include the refillable lipstick bullet by Guerlain, which comes with a built-in mirror on its cap, the iconic spiked bullet lipstick by Valentino Beauty, and the classy bullet from Dior Beauty. These are a bit steep for most wallets, but definitely a great investment for your kit in the long run.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1784111165944The Handsome Green Flags of Modern C-dramas-2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Splurge</span></span></span></div><div><strong>SHOP HERE:</strong></div><p><strong>Guerlain </strong>Rouge G,<strong> </strong>Php 2,550, <strong></strong>Shop <a href="https://rustans.com/products/guerlain-rouge-g-refill-satin?srsltid=AfmBOoonjuKCsI4DhkyAOB8C8WrvP0yaM2Lyx4xX4NzCqp9FemrXgG4m" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Valentino</strong> Spike Ultimatte Lipstick, Php 3,300, Shop <a href="https://www.lookatme.com.ph/spike-ultimatte-lipstick-508r-2.3g/p/BP_70104382?srsltid=AfmBOorZ1gjeyROMikh1TQkhVauqq-J5k7P9lTyKrT01zMuz08xPg4OV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Rouge Dior, </strong>Php 2,800, <strong></strong>Shop <a href="https://rustans-thebeautysource.com/en/product/rouge-dior/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><div><br/></div><div><strong></strong><strong></strong></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>SAVE: AFFORDABLE REFILLABLE LIPSTICKS</strong></div><p>The local beauty scene has been launching a slew of amazing new products, and we&#x27;re most excited about the recent drops by GRWM Cosmetics and Teviant.
