It's summer not. I'm sure the weather is totally hot. Keep stay healthy, because summer is super tiredsome. Getting angry easily, uncontrolable emotion. But, it's sunshine. Go out with your friends, hangout to the beaches, don't let eat your ice cream melt.
Lately, I grew sudden interest by bright color. Yellow, orange, or just bright blue. So does about lipstick. 
I kind of obsessed by orange lipstick. Looking at tangerine lips in korean woman. I just wow, such adorable. That is why I tries to find orange lipstick. And here I found.
 
Yes, like this

It's local brand called RIVERA. Rivera is produced by PT. Fabindo Sejahtera. Same company, which produce Fanbo.
It said : 
Lipstick which is rich in moisture and formulated with special ingredient and color. Used to keep your lips moist. Enriched with vit E as anti oxidant and Ethyl Hexyl Methoxycinnamate as UV Protection to protect your lips against the bad effect of UV light.

Wow, help my lips against bad effect of UV light. Is it that great ? Hmmm ...

Packaging

It has pretty glossy blue box. So the color of this lipstick. I always love blue, and I like its packaging color. The packaging shape is kind of weird. It’s bulky, yes. But the shape is … I don’t know how to tell you. For me, it’s like eye or lips shape. May you please tell me what is perfect term for this shape.

Color

Rivera Lipstick no 23 : Twilight Orange. It is glittering light orange. It's super difficult to get the color on. I don't know how many times I applied it. Then after hard struggling process, it looks like a lip gloss in my lips. Very very sheer. Even some colored lip gloss can do better. 

Texture
The texture is glossy, honestly I thought it will be satin finish in my lips. Even it said as lipstick in the box, but in the end it's lip gloss for me. May be because the concept is moisture, and yes this lipstick is moist. It doesn't make your lips dry.
Btw, if you don't be careful, this lipstick will clump. Ah, what a bad ! No annoying yet nice scent. Just general lipstick scent as usual.

Staying Power
What can I expect. This lipstick has so so staying power. 

Overall
I’m really disappointed in this product. This lip product should be named as colored lip balm, instead just lipstick. The color is so sheer, and it's not what I expected.
Honestly, it's my fault in the end. I never swatch lipstick tester in my lips, you may not know how many hands have touched it. So, I only swatched this lipstick in my hand. I realized my hands are darker nowadays, because I never wear glove everytime I ride my bike. Yeah, it's summer. You get tanning easily, right.

For me it is :
(+) Moisture my lips
(+) Affordable, about 3 USD (Rp. 30.000,-)

(-) Color is difficult to be appeared
(-) Clumpy if don't carefully
(-) Weird Shape and bulky packaging
(-) So so staying power

Will I repurchase it again : No.

The result may vary depend on your terms and conditions.

Thanks
