Wet N Wild Megalast Lipsticks

My makeup routine would never be complete without a splash of color into my lips. A fun way to spice up your look or to give your look some varieties and kicks instantly is to change your lip colors then and now. I love lipsticks because it can stand on its own. Lipcolors make me look more alive and more vabriant looking. 

In search of lipsticks that delivers yet not too heavy on the pocket, I came across Wet N Wild Megalast Lipcolors. I got 5 variieties of shades ranging from pinks, plums and reddish brown. It is quiet sold at higher price here in the Philippines compared to that in US which is just 2.99$. Priced at 148Php, I think these lipsticks does a really good job. 

These have semi-matte finish, some shades can be a little chalky and can be drying on lips. The reason why I fell on love with it instantly is the pigmentation. I personally prefer opaque lipsticks than sheer ones. I like to use this lipsticks together with a lipbalm underneath because it makes my lips a little bit dry. Hence the lipbalm solve the problem. They are also long lasting, it can last up to 4 hours and even after I ate it stays on place on my lips. 

I got 5 shades:

Don't Blink Pink - Bright Fuchsia

Pinkerbelle ( Nicki minaj Dupe) - Barbie Pink, Has a neon hint to it

Sugar Plum fairy ( Mac Rebel Dupe) - Purplish reddish 

Spiked with rum -reddish Brown

Ravin Raisin - dark Plum

Here are the swatches: 

Dont Blink Pink

Pinkerbelle

Spiked with rum

Sugar plum fairy ( it does not look reddish in person) 

Ravin Raisin

Overall, these are superb considering its price but doesn't level up as much as Mac Lipsticks do. I mean, for 148php dont expect its quality to be that perfect. It has flaws but  can be solved if you just want to. I recommend this to girls who are in a tight budget who loves colors on their lips! 

Neutrogena Hydroboost Water Gel

PRODUCT: Neutrogena Hydroboost Water Gel

PRICE: 800Php+

PLACE BOUGHT: Watsons

Part of my skin care regimen is to moisturize twice a day. I've got different moisturizers for the morning and for the evening. My skin is oily as of the moment, I used to have dry skin but suddenly the nightmare came off me one day and oil  just begin  oozing out of my face!!! 

Even though I've got oily skin, I should never skip moisturizers. I think it's my skin's way of telling me it needs some hydration. 

As for the morning moisturizer, I used the Neutrogena Hydroboost Water Gel. I love to use it especially going out since it would dry up fast, and would just melt in my face. It doesn't have any greasiness or oiliness left on my face after applying that's why its perfect just before going out especially I live in a very humid place.

The packaging is a blue glass jar with plastic cover inside. I love the way it is colored with blue to emphasize that the moisturizer is water based. It is actually water based.  

My day would not be complete if I wont be able to put this on my face. It gives me that cooling effect when applied and smells good too! Just the right amount of scent, it's not too overpowering or something. 

The consistency is white thin liquidy texture that spreads easily and vanishes onto the skin. There is no whitecast owing to it's lack of sun protecting abilities. 

After 3 weeks of continued use, I had noticed some changes on my skin. It is a lot healthier compared to my very very dull looking skin before. I am really serious about healthy looking skin! It would really give you that healthy face! My face feels so smooth and so supple! I can even go out now without makeup!

VMV SKINTANGIBLE BBBB CREAM

Before starting out putting on your foundation, it is best to prep up your skin first so that your foundation would eventually glide on smoothly on the surface of the skin and would help on making thw foundation last longer. 

Product claims : 

Our crazy popular BBBB (BB But Better!) Cream in a new purse-proportioned edition! Ultra-light + natural-looking: a uniquely “I-can’t-put-my-finger-on-it-but-wow-your-skin-looks-sublime” finish. One shade, all skin tones. Antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-acne, anti-inflammatory benefits. Purely mineral SPF 30 sun + light protection, too. Skintriguing.This barely-there, “dew” lightful non-makeup is tinted subtly, beautifully, evening out skin tone and refining the complexion.

I have this love-hate relationship with Skintangible "BBBB Cream" ever since I had it. Maybe because I used it as a foundation rather than just a prepping up cream/primer or something. I was expecting some light coverage but was totally disappointed when I started to put it on, the color just vanishes on skin without even slightest coverage in it. I think I got a little bit too excited that it was indicated on the box " skin refining non makeup". Though the box says it can subtly even out skin tone, I havent experienced any on mine. 

This should not be used to even out the skin tone nor does it do the job. This is for prepping up the skin before foundation, serves as a moisturizer at the same time has a whooping SPF 30! I find this useful when I'm in a hurry especially in the morning I've got no time to put all my skin care regimen, this is my time saver!  

Skintangible is packaged on a clear glass bottle that comes with a pump! Oh how I love packagings with pumps! There is only one shade available,  it does not matter anyway since it would just be blended onto the skin.The consistency is very liquidy when already spread, but initially it is creamier. When applied, it gives you that luminousity, that right amount of glow! 

Overall, I liked this because it's packed with skin care benefits at the same time act as a primer to help my foundation last. I cannot describe it as a tinted moisturizer given that it does not have any color when applied. But it is a great buy for skin care junkies out there! 

VMV ARMADA FACE COVER 30

A girl's bestfriend in protecting her delicate skin from harmful rays of the sun is SUNBLOCK. Philippines is a very hot country, the sun is beaming violently right before our roofs and even when we're inside, rays could get into our homes. 

The sun's unforgiving rays and hotness would not just make you ugly (due to melanin) but can also cause skin cancer. So we're not just taking care of our beautiful faces but of our health also. 

But some women (like me) opt not to use sunscreens since they have this fear of getting pimples due to clogging of pores, some don't want to have that white cast on face. 

I have tried neutrogena ultra Sheer, its claims are so promising that it made my buy it but unfortunately turns out to be very disappointing. 

I've researched some top performing sunscreens, and one of which is the VMV Armada line. It's expensive but totally worth it! 

I got the Armada Face Cover 30 Variant. 

VMV Armada Face Cover 30 claims:

SELECT IF: you have moderate melasma, spend most of your time indoors, and want a a medium-weight cream.

The most comprehensive protection, with some of the highest protection factors ever against the full spectrum of skin-harming light: indoor and outdoor UVA, UVB, Infrared and Visible Light.

Impressive power in a weightless, anti-oxidant cream that's friendly to all skin types.

When used everyday, indoors and out, also helps lighten melasma.

Protects against melasma, sun-induced skin cancer, photo-aging, and other photo-induced damage.

Armada Face Cover 30 is like a heaven sent product for us women (and men)! It is packaged on a white tube, and indications of usage, instructions and ingredients are also embedded. 

 I had never experienced any outbreaks nor does it gave me that annoying white cast. 

If you hate wearing sunscreens because of that greasiness it gives, then you would love Armada Face Cover. Dries up like magic! No greasy traces at all. When I'm out I reapply every 2 hours. This can be worn over makeup.

Overall, this is a must-have! Though a bit pricey but your money would not be put into waste. This is a great product! I highly recommend it. 

ELF Contouring Blush And Bronzer

Product: ELF Contouring Blush And Bronzer

Price : 249Php

Place Bought: Watsons

Glowing cheeks is the secret of a sparkling youthful glow. And your blusher would be the best bud you could lean on. Blushes are very important for me, because it can instantly transform my dull, plain looking face into something vibrant and happy looking!! It comes ib different formulations: powders, creams, mousse, gels, tints, etc. I like to use powders the most, because they are easily applied and blended. If you want to have a natural finish, go for cream blushes. 

ELF Contouring Blush and bronzer is one of the products of ELF that is surely a HIT!!! Well, we all know ELF is a HIT or MISS brand. Some might not even agree with me but I certainly love the blush! I have read some reviews comparing it to Nars orgasm, but cant really attest to thay since I dont have Nars Orgasm. The Duo Blush and Bronzer comes in a sleek black plastic compact that has a medium-sized mirror inside. The left pan is the blush, and on the right side is the bronzer

First, lets talk about the blush. The formulation is powder, it can be a little chalky. The color is a peachy reddish tone with tiny gold glitters on it. I love the fact that ELF had included that glitters since that gives my skin that sparkling healthy glow. 

Now lets move on to the bronzer. Samr with the blush, the fornulation is powder. It does not come with any sparkling glitters on it. It actually is matte. It is also very pigmented, so you'll be needing a little amount when contouring. 

Overall, this is a great buy. Perfect for newbies on makeup who are just exploring the wonders of applying colors and tones. For 249php, the quality is fantastic plus it is also long wearing. So I hope you could try it also! 

Let your skin breathe: Loreal Lucent Magique Foundation

Product: Loreal Lucent Magique Light Infusing Foundation

Price:800+Php

Place bought: Watsons

Foundations are indispensable tool a woman should have. I dont believe that everyone has a perfect face that won't be needing foundation, even supermodels do. Foundations are used to even out the discolorations and redness on the face, next to covering minor imperfections. Some make mistakes by using foundations to lighten the color of their faces. Ehheem 

Number one rule on foundations is to choose the color that matches perfectly with your skintone. Next is the formulation. This is not universal, some skin types are better with liquid foundations, some opt to use creams or powders and so on. It is a matter of personal preferrence and what your skin would be needing. 

Loreal Lucent Magique Light Infusing Foundation is one of the foundations that captured my heart. I'm the type of person thar wears foundation seldomly since I've been trusting my concealer to do the job. I also find some foundations too heavy on face, and would looked too made-up. Just wanted that natural finish that's why I prefer concealer. 

Loreal Lucent Magique Light Infusing Foundation is great for people like me who doesnt want to have that heavy feeling on face but at the same would deliver that good amount coverage enough to even out everything that would provide flawless finishIt is packaged on a clear glass bottle that comes with a pink mettalic colored-pump. I love the pump since it is hygienic and I have the control on how much product would I want to dispense. 

The consistency is of liquid type. It blends easily without fuss and would eventually dry fast. Once it is dried, the texture is super smooth and would give you that dewy healthy looking finish. Coverage is light to medium. The coverage is buildable so you can add on more if youre not contented with just a single layer. The only downside a have for this is that it made my skin break out. So sad i really love its natural finish!! 

Overall, I liked this better than my Revlon Colorstay Whipped Cream since it is too heavy on face. Loreal Lucent Magique is very lightweight, my skin loves it since it feels not suffocated. My skin can breathe while enjoying it's magic of perfecting complexion! 

NICHIDO HIGH DEFINITION LIPSTICK

PRODUCT: NICHIDO HD LIPSTICK IN PRETTY TULIP

PRICE: 198 PESOS

PLACE BOUGHT: ROBINSONS ABREEZA

Hi everyone! 

I would really prefer pink lipsticks over the red ones. Pinks are cute and so girly and pretty. I like to wear a red lipstick on days when I feel so sexy, sophisticated and naughty. Haha

Anyway, today's review would be a PINK lipstick from Nichido's HD LIPSTICK line in PRETTY TULIP. I fell in love with this the first I saw time I saw it. I would describe the color as a bright neonpink with some little hints of fuchsia. It is very pigmented and completely opaque.  

The finish is semi-matte. I have dry lips but I haven't experienced any sucking out of moisture or some sort of cracking of lips. I just love this so much! This is one of my favorite lipsticks among the sea of lipsticks I have. It also lasts pretty long. The only downside for me is its strong scent. It smells like some sort of old makeup stuffs way back then when I was a child. It's kinda nostalgic though. Haha

Overall, this is a great buy. Priced less than 200 Pesos, it's quality is very impressive.

PROS:

Pigmented

Opaque

Great color

Long wearing

CONS:

Strong scent

That's it for now. Thanks for reading! 

BEAUTY UK STATEMENT LIPS: VERY IMPORTANT POUT

PRODUCT: Beauty UK Statement lip set

PRICE: 400 Pesos for 3 tubes

PLACE BOUGHT: Kering keri store

Hi everyone! 

Another lipstick post! I love doing lipstick posts because they are really my love. Of all makeup that I have in my stash, lipsticks are my top picks and probably the thing I can't live without. (Haha) I got this months ago, I just want to add some babies on my lipstick collection, and price-wise, it is so affordable.

Very Important Pout has 3 Lipstick Tubes namely: Vampire, Candy and Naughty. 

VAMPIRE - Dark Red

Candy- Very Neon blue-toned bright pink

Naughty- Red Orange

These lipsticks are creamy and easily glides on lips. The finish is satin with glossy touch.  I kinda find it hard to apply because of its creamyness. I even thought these would melt on hot weather here in the Philippines, luckily it didn't. The packaging is very similar with Nyx. These lipsticks have this overpowering minty smell and I can feel some cooling feel also. 

This set is not for everyday type of colors. They are so bright and eyecatching, I'd rather wear them on parties or some night-outs. Out of the bunch, my fave is Vampire. It's just so sexy, brings about the naughtiness on me. Hahaha Candy is kinda frustrating, it does not matches my skin tone plus it accentuates my dry lips. Nicki Minaj would have liked Candy! Haha

PROS:

Very affordable

Crazily Pigmented

A great STATEMENT LIPSTICK

CONS:

Hard to apply

Overpowering Minty Scent

Not for everyday use( I prefer some toned colors)

Not long wearing( Fades off after an hour) 

PURPLE SMOKEY EYE TUTORIAL

Hi everyone! I am so excited to share to you guys this super easy purple smokey eye look! 

I only used 3 colors with this. 

You'll need:

Cream-colored matte eyeshadow

Hot pink colored matte eyeshadow 

Carbon black matte

With this look I used the ELF 32-piece eyeshadow palette. 

Step 1:

Apply your white eyeshadow into the inner conners of your eyes and into the brow bone to attract light which opens up the eyes. 

Step 2:

Apply your matte black eyeshadow into the crease in a v-shaped manner and blend it away. TIP: Repeat this step until desired intensity of color is achieved. Just blend blend blend. Bring the black eyeshadow into the lower outer half of your eyes.

Step 3:

Apply your hot pink eyeshadow into the center of the lids. Just keep on building the color. Hot pink would be transformed into a deep purple color. 

Apply your favorite eyeliner and  and give love to your eyelashes by loading lots of mascara to it. 

Now you're good to go. This is very easy and I really had fun doing this eye makeup look. I love this because it instantly open up my eyes and it is also perfect whenever  I would wear my glasses.
