  Personally when I wear makeup I really like the Majolica Majorca brand. They're a subsidiary of Shiseido so I've always found the quality of their stuff really good - but the price tag isn't as much as some of the other Shiseido stuff out there. Lipsticks are around the 800 yen mark! http://www.shiseido.co.jp/mj/items/lip/006.html

  Thanks! I think I've seen these before and the website was also helpful. It looks like they have a 'creamy' type and a 'sheer' type. It says sheer types are light, so maybe that would be easier for me to use. Do you happen to know which type you use (if not both)?

  The one I have is the sheer kind (#59) and it's a coral-ish pinky color. I don't wear tons of lipstick but I found it to be a nice in between - gives some color but not too intense, and is still moisturizing. I haven't tried the creamy kind though so I can't give much feedback about that, I don't know if it's more opaque perhaps? I might have to get one and try it out!

  I actually recommend the American brand Maybelline's Baby Lips line, especially if you tend to gravitate towards chapsticks. The colors are subtle but it's still obvious that you're wearing lip color, and there are quite a few colors available, from pinks to deeper reds with nothing getting too bright or extreme. Plus they're super cheap at only ~500 yen at Tokyu Hands / Don Quijote / etc. so you can try one out without feeling like you're taking a huge risk.

  Thanks, I don't know where I saw the Majolica Majorica before, but I'm sure I did somewhere. I'll use the testers to see if they seem like a good fit once I find them. And I've seen Baby Lips here for sure, maybe not so many colors at the shops near me, but I think we have a DonQui in town. They seem really popular but for some reason I haven't tried them yet. Thanks for the reminder!

  I ended up finding the Majolica Majorica brand at Don Quijote, but not the Baby Lips, ironically. (I thought I had seen Baby Lips, but it's another brand called Lip Baby.) I liked the weight of the sheer types and picked out this one (pink 405). They're really tiny! But definitely more affordable than Shiseido. (I also picked out one of the CC chapsticks from the Kate brand which is a lot lighter but nice for more casual situations.)

  I'm an avid fan of lippies!! I prefer wearing darker shades though, but when I tried Canmake's lipstick they're almost just like lipgloss but not shinym just light and it looks natural on the lips. But I also suggest liptints from Etude House (really a game changer!!) :)
