Rimmel London Provocalips 16hr lip colour-500 kiss me you fool review


Rimmel London Provocalips 16hr lip colourin 500 kiss me you fool


Pros:
  • The packaging is sturdy and slim-easy to carry around. It is dual ended,you get the lip colour on the first side(step 1) and the gloss(step 2) on the other. Looooove those kiss marks :)














  • Has a doe foot applicator which makes application easy.





  • Very pigmented.The colour pay off is amazing.


You can just apply the colour itself but if you want some extra shine,top it off with the gloss.



  • It is long lasting.
  • Minimal transfer.

Cons:
  • It tends to wear off when you eat oily foods,(inner part of the lips).



I bought this for PHP 450.00
Step 1 side (lip colour) contains 4 ml of product.
Step 2 (lock and shine) contains 3 ml of products.


Overall I think it is a pretty good product because of the pigmentation. It claims to last for 16 hr, but in my case it didn't because the inner part of my lips wore off after eating.Still, it is a long lasting lip product so I would recommend this to girls who like minimal touch-ups.

You can wear this with the full effect or you can also make it look like a more natural lip stain by dabbing the product in your lips and patting the product to spread...you have to be quick though. I suggest that you use lip balm first because this kid of lip product sometimes enhances the dry part of the lips.



I would give this a 4 out of 5 stars.

NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM REVIEW-ADDIS ABABA


NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM REVIEW-ADDIS ABABA




I heard a lot of positive feed backs about this product and since I am a huge fan of matte lip colours, I've been dying to get one of these famous matte lip creams from NYX.
I got a vibrant pink shade called addis ababa...which is gorgeous! :) and here are my thoughts about it.




What I love about it:
  • Let's start with the packaging, the product is contained in sturdy small plastic transparent tube with a black cap. Perfect size for your makeup bag!




By the way, it contains 8ml of product and here is a shot of the ingredients listed at the back of the container.



  • Comes with a doe foot applicator which makes the application on the lips easier and faster.


  • I love the scent! My oh my...it smells like candy ;)
  • Yes it is matte but it is not as drying as some other matte lip products. It actually feels light weight and soft on the lips. 
  • The pigmentation is also great! Here is a swatch
  • Last longer the regular lipsticks although it is not kiss proof or transfer proof(doesn't claim that too), 

Overall I really like this product and I can't say anything bad about it.
I think the only downside is the price, I got mine from a bazaar which cost me PHP290.00 which is a huge discount vs the mall price...they sell this with much higher price tag.

I suggest that you go get it from a trusted online shop.

So will I recommend it?

Definitely YES!
I can't also wait to have more shades of these babies soon :)

I will give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

4U2 dreamGirl Lovelight BB Powder SPF15++ in 01

This product has been raved about by many beauty gurus (You Tube) and bloggers, and is quite popular  here in the Philippines. I was actually very intrigued on how good it is, but decided not to buy it right away since I find it unnecessary 'coz I need to finish my other face powders first. hehe.

A few months ago, I finally got my hands on this item and I've been testing it out since then. I know that there are many reviews about this, but this is my own opinion about it.


Claims:
 Confidence Builder through All Day Complexion Perfection. Exclusive formulation for even ad natural skin tones and oil control. With sun protection,too. Be a dreamGirl!



Instructions and Ingredients:




Pros:

  • Affordable- PHP 194.00, Net Wt. 7g



  • The packaging is so adorable! A tiny pink compact with mirror (Very purse friendly).  It also comes with a usable sponge.







  • Contains SPF
  • As a powder...I must say,it gives quite a good coverage.
  • Yellow based,perfect for Asian skin tone. I got the lightest shade,which is 01...I believe that there are two more darker shades.
  • It feels light on the skin and doesn't break me out.
  • Doesn't have a pungent scent. 
  • Gives a matte finish and controls the oiliness of my face for hours!!!  *note that I have an oily-combination skin, I use this to set a cream foundation and without the use of a primer*
  • Looks good on flash photography.

Cons:

I have nothing bad to say about this product.

Pinkies Collection Cream foundation review in CCF-03




What I like about this product:
  • The packaging is sturdy, although you have to make sure that your fingers/brush or sponge is clean before dipping it in the product.




  • I like the fact that it has a long life span. (3 years)





  • I think that the price is just right/affodable since it already comes with 18g of product.




  • It has a matte finish, that's why it can also be used by people who have oily skin like I do. 

Here's how I apply this:
Using a brush, I stipple this on my problem areas ( acne scars on the cheeks) for heavier coverage and then using my fingers, I apply this on the other areas that needs less coverage and then blend. I noticed that whenever I do this technique...my face won't be as oily after hours of wearing this. * I do not use any primers*
Then I set it with a loose powder.

  • It gives amazing coverage...It can double up as a concealer.


It comes in 3 shades. I got the lightest one which is CCF-03.  The other 2 shades are suitable for morenas.


Here it is how it looks like without flash



with flash



The shade is just right for me...It is not too dark nor too light.

  • I love the fact that it looks amazing on photos which is a huge factor for me.

What I don't like about this product:
  • The smell is not really that nice but it is tolerable.




Overall I really like this product. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour lip color review

Hi ladies! so I am back again for another review. This time, the product is from Maybelline and it is one of their super stay 24 hours lip color.




  The line has different colors to choose from.The shade that I have is Perpetual plum which a pinkish purple color. It looks shimmery on the tube but you cannot actually really see the shimmers once you put it on your lips.


The things I like about this product:

  • Pigmented 
  • The scent- smells like candies! :)
  • The packaging- It has dual ends,the left side contains the product itself while the other end has a balm.(Let the product dry first before putting on the balm), but I don't really use it because I love matte finishes.




  • I also like the shape of the applicator, it is a doe foot but thinner on the tips and sightly bent. It really makes the application easier because it can adjust to the amount of pressure you make with your hands (bouncy?) if that makes sense.




  • It stays on all night, even the day after, if you decided to leave it on. (This is no joke) It really stays on.
Here is a sample

upon application (4PM)

still wet


Already Dry

9 PM that same day

*I tried rubbing it, I washed the dishes, took my night shower*

see...it's like nothing happened.


Here is it 9PM the day after

It has been more than 24 Hours and it is still there

Again, I did my household chores, I tried rubbing it off with my hands... I took a bath...etc.

Amazing huh?!

But don't worry, It can be easily removed with makeup remover. And oh, since makeup remover has oil, you may want to stay away from oily foods when eating.


This is what it looks like on my lips

with flash


without flash (it appears more purple on camera)


So far I do not have any complain about this product. It is perfect for me! And if I can get a chance I will  buy one or more, because this was only given to my by my aunt. She bought it in the US, but I've searched online and saw some shops selling this. I've seen prices ranging from PHP 250.00 -PHP 374.80.

I think it is a really great product. I would give this a 5 out of 5 stars.
