A glimpse at the lips: Armani's Lip Maestro in Ecstasy 504
/The conductor ambled up to his podium as a wave of silence moved across the audience. Tap, tap, tap.
The maestro has arrived -- the music streamed out; string, wind and percussion intertwined into one.
Armani Lip Maestro in Ecstasy 504
Armani's Lip Maestro is a gloss which dries down to a semi-lacquered finish, lasts hours and eventually turns into a lovely stain. This is the sort of lippie that takes you from morning to night. The last time I found something such as this, I didn't think anything could come close.
Like those cheesy infomercials out there, you can "set it [lip maestro] and forget it." Lip maestro's formula is non-drying and non-sticky, two big thumbs up in my book! With that said, I still like to apply chapstick on my lips prior to putting anything else on them.

Wearing Ecstasy 504
Ecstasy 504 is a vibrant and bright fuchsia pink. Initially it appears red (see swatch above), but a few minutes after the glossiness wears down the lovely pink hue is finally in clear view. If you're worried about feathering/product migration, line your lips with Makeup Forever's Lip Line Perfector; it'll stop your lipstick dead in its tracks.
Total amount for Armani's Lip Maestro in Ecstasy 504:
Value for money spent (performance and quality):
- 8 out of 10 bags – I had to take a couple of points off for price and colour selection (Ecstasy 504 is one of the twelve shades available for purchase).
Would another purchase be on the horizon?:
- I wouldn't mind trying a lighter colour for work, perhaps Blush or Casual Pink will do?
