Obsession with hot pink lipstick

My obsession of makeup products goes in phases. If I am obsessed with hot pink lipsticks, I would go buy one. Then saw another and buy that as well and that would usually go on until I grab 4 or 5 similar shades before I stop.

Clio Virgin Kiss Tension Lip in Pinkvely

Clio Virgin Kiss Tension Lipsticks are very pigmented and moisturizing. Pinkvely is a vibrant hot pink shade with a coral twist. 

I got this from an ebay seller in Korea and I searched for swatches online and at first look, it is so vibrant and intimidating. But when applied, it slides on smoothly and not as bright as I thought.

Compared to MUFE C208, Clio Pinkvely is more coral.

For a newbie bright lippie-wearer, I have learnt ways to apply depending how opaque you want. If I want a super bright and pigmented lip, I would apply lipliner then apply the lipstick full on. But if that is too much for day time, I would tone it down a bit. I would do a nude lipliner and then dab the lipstick and use my finger to blend it out without applying more product to add the pigmentation. Last step is apply some lip gloss.
