REVIEW: NYX ROUND LIPSTICKS






These babies here are NYX EXTRA CREAMY ROUND LIPSTICK. The one with a bright pink color is in the shade of LOUISIANA, while the nude one is in the shade of FRAPPUCINO. I got these at Gaisano Mall Rainbow Project for 180php each. It is a bit pricey compared ordering online which you can get hold of these for as low as 100php but you still have to wait for a month.
THESE LIPSTICKS ARE SO AMAZING! I am totally in love with them! I can't explain how much I reallly really love them! These are not MATTE, they have a Satin Finish. It does not dry up my lips, nor does it fill in to my lines. It is so creamy and also pigmented. The best thing here is IT IS VERY AFFORDABLE.



NYX ROUND LIPSTICK IN LOUISIANA





This color is what I've been looking for! The color is so vibrant and alive that when you wear it, it instantly brightens up your whole face! It is actually bright fuchsia color!! It makes your face bloom, I mean it really serves me well!! I am wearing this everyday and I love how I can wear it alone. I don't put eyeshadows and blush-ons anymore, only this and concealer.



NYX ROUND LIPSTICK IN FRAPUCCINO




If you want to draw attention to your eyes, this one's perfect for the look. It looks brown but when you try it on to your lips, it is actually Pink Brown Color. It is very natural looking, as if you're not wearing any lippies at all. I wear this lipcolor with heavy smokey dramatic eyes which is really really good with this lipstick!


So here are my PROS AND CONS:

PROS:

CHEAP ( GOT MINE FOR 180PHP)
VERY VERY VERY PIGMENTED ( I SWEAR BY THIS)
EASY TO APPLY
DOES NOT DRY UP MY LIPS
DOES NOT SETTLE INTO FINE LINES
MOISTURIZES MY LIPS( IT HAS VITAMIN E ACTUALLY)
STAYING POWER IS GREAT

CONS:


I CAN'T THINK OF ANY!




Thanks for reading!
See you soon!!

BEAUTY HAUL: WET N WILD MEGA LAST LIPSTICKS

I got this lippies for just 800plus with sf. IT'S A REAL STEAL RIGHT??!! Wet N wild lipsticks are sold at Sm for 299php so I really saved a lot on this one! I got this at ebay.ph. 10 pieces, 5 shades for Spiked with rum and 5 shades for Ravin Raisin.

Spiked with Rum is a dark reddish brown lippie. It looked like brownish with red undertones on my lips. This would work well with dark skin tones.



Ravin' Raisin is the SHOW STOPPER!! It's a dark plum shade. Perfect if you want to have a vamy sexy look. I love this shade!!! It would give you that vampy sexy hot lips!!



Will make a thorough review on this soon!

SAVE VS SPLURGE : RED LIPSTICK


You can never go wrong with RED LIPSTICKS! A red lipstick can spice up your plain-white-shirt-jeans-sneakers-outfit! Pair it up with your LITTLE BLACK DRESS and your ready to go! Every woman should have RED LIPSTICKS on their make-up bags!

Since RED LIPSTICKS are very famous and if not everybody, most women wear it, there are tons of shades of RED LIP COLOR offered in the market today. Some are cheap, some are not-so expensive, and some are way too expensive. Here in the Philippines, we find MAC expensive. 1000pesos for just a tube of lipstick?? Hell expensive. . With just a piece of lipstick in Mac, we can pay for our grocery bills that would last a week! Hahaha....But there are many MAC DUPES available. One of which is the EVER BILENA MATTE LIPSTICK IN LOVE THAT RED.

So are we gonna SAVE or SPLURGE? Let's find out.



Mac Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo has that beautiful deep red which is very pigmented, with just one swipe you can have that deep red on your lips. It is also very easy to apply. It won't settle into fine lines. It can be drying to your lips after a couple of hours but to compensate that apply a lipbalm prior to the lipstick. Staying power is also great! Without drinking and eating this lasted me for 4 hours. Wow. :)

Ever Bilena Matte lipstick in Love That Red is lighter in color than the Ruby Woo. It has that pink undertone. Love that red is also not that MATTE when compared to Ruby woo. It is actually has gloss in it, and when you swatched in your hands it will actually attract light. I think LOVE THAT RED IS SEMI MATTE. Staying power is not that great. It lasted me for 2 hours without drinking and eating. It instantly fades away after eating. Uh-oh..:( But the great thing about this is the COLOR! I am totally in love with the shade! It may not be the BEST DUPE FOR MA RUBY WOO, but they have, atleast, resemblance in color!

So the verdict?


I'm gonna SAVE. For me, LOVE THAT RED gives you that look MAC RUBY WOO does. It instantly brightens my face, and there is only a little difference in color.. Love that read also gives you decent staying power, though not as good as Ruby Woo but still it's a steal!

I have been using this everyday for a week now. YES EVERYDAY! Because I am so desperate to get rid of my pimples and it really did ... This may work for me but not for you. My skin is reaallly not that sensitive so I guess that's why I didn't experienced any allergic reactions using it everyday.

3.) MY FACE IS SUPER DUPER CLEAN AFTER. ( You can feel the masque sucking out all the dirt on your pores!)


HOW TO USE IT:

1. Wash your face with your cleanser. Pat dry after.
2. Apply the product GENEROUSLY
3. Let it dry. Let it the product stay on your face for 20 mins.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water

AS A SPOT TREATMENT:

1. Apply ONLY to the pimple before you sleep
2. Rinse it off the following morning.
