It's literally been over ten years since I bought any Medora lipsticks. I did buy nail colors on and off, but had stopped buying the lipsticks. No particular reason, it just happened.
So after a decade of the Medora void I thought lets add another shade of red to my collection and lets get some Medora Matte Lipstick :) went for one ended up with three :p
Got a two shades of red (but of course) and a sweet pink shade.
What I like about Medora, other than it's really cheap price of Rs.150, is that its easily available all across Pakistan and in almost every nook and corner!
The Sweet Swatches:
Medora in 'Real Red'
Medora in 'Flame' & 'Chiffon Pink'
Pros:

- Even though the lipsticks are matte they have a creamy texture and glide on to your lips flawlessly
- They are also long lasting and if you take care of your lips beforehand they don't over dry either
- Colors are rich and consistent. Ever seen bad lippies with flaky texture? this is NOT it :)
- Affordable (HIGHLY)
- Available (All across Pakistan, yaay Medora)
- Smells fine. Truly I am not one of those who really get bothered by fragrance or non-fragrance as long as it doesn't smell like poop!
Cons:
- Can dry lips if you are prone to it. BUT if you take care of your lips and prep them up before applying lipstick then they are bound to look good :)
- I tried to add one more con, but hey! didn't find any...unless you check out the packaging which I am hoping gets better :/
I am trying to kill the temptation of going and getting some more! Eeeek! <3

DeleteReminds me of my mom's makeup from my childhood! :D Medora and brands like, swiss miss, genny (nail polishes in particular!) are actually quite remarkable for the price! All the shades look amazing on you!! There's a shade in pink called Fiesta that I know my older cousins totally loved in their teens! :) x
