Covergirl & Olay sculpting blush in 210 rich cinnamon

I've been lemming for this very product for such a long time and i was just too happy when i discovered that Chedelyn from facebook is selling this. I also had the 220 Royal Plum but i gave it to my friend because i find it very similar to rich cinnamon except the royal plum has like a rosy undertones while the rich cinnamon has peachy undertones. i wanted this blush coz i've seen a lot of great reviews about this. But i just realized something.. what works for them might not for me especially since i live in a very humid country and my skin gets oily usually so i think what i should be considering are the reviews of those who also lives in a humid country.

this is okay as a base of my powder blush on or if you have a porcelain flawless skin that you don't have to put powder over or under it. I tried putting it without powder on and in my case it doesn't stay on for long since i'm oily it only stays on my cheeks for an hour. i just use my fingers in applying this cream blush. Then i tried patting it on top of my bb cream and i find it hard to blend and when i try blending it, my bb cream gets rubbed off so this is actually a pain in the ass so what i do not is pat it using my fingers on my cheeks without any powder or bb cream on my face then i apply my bb cream then id apply my powder brush over it. its not a great help i just don't want to waste it. and its not pigmented so you may have to put a lot to build decent amount of color. i don't know maybe it's just me let me know if you have any suggestions. =)

Colour Collection lipstick in Tea Rose

this is gven to me by my mom  from Colour Collection. Its called Colour Intense Lipstick in Tea Rose. I was kind of happy when i saw the name coz i thought this is going to be a dupe for NYX's round lipstick in Tea Rose which i dont have yet but based on pictures i think they're pretty different.

so its another pink lipstick.. nothing special. it feels heavy on my lips. it kinda dries out my lips after a couple of hours or so. pigmented. washes me out a little bit. overall, i like it i can live with it but not too crazy bout it.

Beauty Credit lipsticks in Paris Pink and Pure Pink

I bought this at Subic. Beauty Credit is a korean brand of make up. they sell skincare as well and they also have varieties of BB creams. Anyway, Beauty Credit's lipsticks are soo soft, too soft that they actually melt and broke so easily. However, i like how it glides on smoothly on my lips and they are so pigmented. They leave stain on your lips. On my part i like that it does stain my lips. My lips are pigmented on the edges and pale on the inner part so i like my lips to still have a hint of color even after eating or so.

Yes yes i know i should have exfoliated my lips first before swatching these but i prefer to let it be just so i know which one suits my dry lips best. wet n wild 511B did an awesome job!

sparkles remained on my lips after wiping it out

see how it's crazy pigmented? this is like the wet n wild 511b which has a hot pink but this has more of a blue than purple undertones into it.. this lipstick has tiny sparkles that lingers on your lips even after wiping it away. Staying power is not that great but it does leave stain so its okay. This lipstick is not too bad as well for my dry lips but its not as moisturizing than the wet n wild one.

This is exactly the shade that i'm looking for but the thing is.. this lipstick failed terribly. i like the fact that it doesn't have sparkles like the paris pink but it's texture is soo soft.. runny almost that it goes pretty much everywhere near your lips. It feathers, it settles into fine lines of my lips, it accentuates my dry lips and made it even more drier at the end of the day. i hope i can find a dupe for this that has better texture and quality.

Penshoppe Pop beauty Lipglosses

I am not into lipglosses however, i can't resist these pretty shades. This is not that bad after all as i can control the amount i apply on my lips. I'd like just to pat my fingers once on the shade that i'd like to use and it goes on on my entire lips. yes it's unhygienic but i use this with my clean fingers and this is for personal use anyways. i use these when i feel like having sparkles on my lips.. i mix these also with my nude lipstick that didn't work for me.


They're pretty don't you think? =)

Wet n Wild 511B lipstick

I love bold lip colors so i'm in search for hot pink inexpensive but quality hot pink lipstick. A lot of famous make up artist raved for wet n wild lipsticks because of its texture and pigmentation. This 511B is pretty much one of the most raved wet n wild lipstick. i searched online if i could get my hands on it. And lucky me i found it and bought it to Chedelyn Mae in Facebook for only 110pesos. Cheap ryt?



so this is how it looks like on my lips

yes it is pretty pigmented and the texture is sooo nice. It moisturizes my lips and it does not settle into fine lines. my lips are always dry and this lipstick does not accentuate the dryness of my lips. I love this. It is a hot pink with purple undertones into it. No shimmers or glitters whatsoever. It has shiny but not glossy finish which i am not a fan of. i have uneven lips and my lower lip has this odd shape like the tip of it is leaning downwards that's why i don't wear lipglosses coz i feel like they'll droop haha! i prefer semi matte finish for my lips. I love this however this is not the perfect shade that i was looking for.

The Face Shop slanted eyeliner/brow brush

Sorry i forgot to take full picture of this brush for some reason. Anyway, this is once again a failure for me. I wish i could find a thinner brush for eyeliner..this is once again a bit thicker for my eyes so..
This brush is angled and tiny.. i think this is a great brush. Just not for me though. =(

Marionnaud tweezer

the best tweezer i've had so far. It does the job perfectly. it gets the tiniest hair you could ever imagine. i love it! It is slanted, tight but not sharp that could actually hurt you or even cut the hairs instead of pulling it from the roots.
