But not any more since I've came across the following products!
The Body Shop
Colourglide™ Lip Colour
Shade I like: 42 Dusk Pink
This one gives a matte look but never makes your lips dry (or even feel like it!). Brilliant range of colour, they have these in both with shimmer or without. Goes on easily and does stay on, just feels like normal lip balm when I put it on and gives a sheer look, but DOES NOT stick!!! :D If it's been a while and has lost a little bit of shine, just put any lip balm on top of that, the colour wouldn't get wiped out^^

L'Oréal Paris
Color Riche Shine Gelée
Shade I like: 104 Pretty Peach; (I also like 303 Sweet Tea but nowhere I could find somewhere that has stock!)
Honestly, I cannot find another colour lipstick that can give your lips moisture better than this. Yes! Instead of drying your lips, this colour lipstick moisturise your lips, and the day I am wearing this product, I don't need to bring a lip balm with me at all. All shades came with great amount of shimmer, shines like lip gloss but DOES NOT stick!!! :D
(*They claim that it's a blend of "delicious colour of a lipstick, the crystal-shine of a lip gloss and the nourishing moisture of a lip balm".) <---- Honestly, I DO THINK SO!!
PUPA MILANO - Non Conventional Beauty
New Chic Designer Lipstick & Lip Liner
Shade I like: 02
Net Weight: 12oz; 3.6ml
I found that this lipstick is great to use over the summer. DOES NOT leave your lips greasy, waxy, nor sticky, it feels like you are not wearing anything on your lips at all. However, somehow, this lipstick seems to do a great job retaining the moisture of your lips, making them smooth and soft without any help of a lip balm.
This lipstick is also very, VERY pigmented but does not transfer easily, staying power is relatively good (I mean... I had an ice lolly 2 hours after I put this lipstick on but still got like 50% of the colour left after I finished the ice lolly).
This lipstick is called a 'Lipstick & Lip Liner' because there's a different on the two opposite sides of the lipstick to the middle, as you can see in the picture. This design allows you to do your lip colour and lip liner in just one stroke. The colour on both sides of this shade appears to be a matte bright pink colour, the a shimmery, pearly soft pink in the middle.
However, I like to do it my own way, and I can get two looks out of this lipstick.
Method 1: Apply the matte bright pink colour, which is on both sides of the lipstick and just this colour on it's own for a more fun, playful, colourful look. This lipstick is really pigmented that you don't actually need to put a lot on.
Method 2: Apply the matte bright pink colour as a base colour and put the pearly soft pink over for a softer, elegant look.
*By the way, I got this at SaSa Outlet in HK so it only costs me HKD28.00. It is, however, much more expensive normally. And yes, the cap comes with a mirror, which I absolutely love!
