SANSAN SHIMMER LIPSTICK 01

Hi everyone! 

I discovered this product from a friend because she has this lipstick and she said that I must try it because it's pink! When I tried it, omg! it's really good on the lips! I bought mine at Robinsons Ermita because most HBC Branch that I've visited always doesn't have it on stock! Yes, it's always out of stock!


sorry for the background. lol

As you can see, the lipstick doesn't come with a shade name but a number.

Really. It's a nice pink! A Shimmer Pink 

Swatch: See the shimmer?

My overall verdict to this product is that it's a good buy, very cheap and very pigmented.
No bad smell. But this is not good for everyday makeup. I suggest you should wear this if you will attend a party or if you will go to a club. But for everyday? a big NO NO.

This is really hard to find promise! I think it only cost me 120+ - 130 sorry I can't remember. lol. It's not long lasting. 

That's it! If you have any questions guys please comment down below.

xoxo 






WORST PRODUCT #1

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Just want to share with you guys my experience w/ this particular  product that I won a very long time ago in an auction on facebook. I really thought that this product is really good because it's made I think in usa so I expect that this product will be good but it's worst than ever!

Anyway, Let's get started!

I'm talking about LA Colors Liquid Makeup in BUFF.


I already tried this product. I admit it that it blends naturally on my skin tone so I like it. It's like you're not wearing a liquid makeup. BUT! sooner or later, my face began to itchy and some redness appeared on my skin & then breakouts followed the other day. HUHU! DEFINITELY HATE THIS PRODUCT!

This product smells like lotion. Very very lotion.


I'm really disappointed w/ this product. *sigh* because I really thought that I already found a makeup that is good for everyday use. 

So guys, what you think? Let me know if you have the same experience like mine.

xoxo

ARTIST STUDIO BRUSHES

Hello Sunshine!

I know this is late but I just wanna to you guys what I just discovered for the past months.
This all started on Instagram post of brushes of a friend and I thought that is a Sigma brushes!
I asked her where did she get those brushes and she said that it's not sigma but maybe a dupe for
sigma brushes! It's the ARTIST STUDIO BRUSHES and she said that I can get those brushes at Landmark Trinoma. So I went there and search for it and Tadaaaaa! I felt happy when I saw the ARTIST STUDIO BRUSH Counter.

Ok Ok. Enough of the bluff and let's get started!


Top: Powder Brush
Bottom: Foundation Brush 



Top: Concealer Brush
Bottom: Angled Brush


Artist Studio Brushes can be found at Landmark. I got mine from Landmark, Trinoma at prices ranging from 40php to 350php (from what I saw). 

Based from what I have read from other blogs,Prices of Artist Studio Brushes in Landmark Makati and Landmark Trinoma are totally different. It is a lil' bit expensive in makati than in trinoma.




The brush handles themselves has a matte finish and with their brand name.

Their bristles are tightly intact so it will not easily fall off.


Foundation Brush
This brush can be used for liquid products such as foundation. 
It will be so hard to blend if you will use a stick or a mousse foundation. 


Angled Brush
I've been using this for multiple purposes. I used this for applying my stick foundation
and sometimes for applying my bronzer for contouring. (but I have a contouring brush of course!)


Concealer Brush
I have bad moments using this because I find it so uneasy for applying concealer.
So I prefer using the ring finger for apply concealer. It's so easy and can blend fast when in hurry.


Powder Brush
This Brush takes a little amount of powder to be applied on the face which is good.
You can control how much product you put on your face.

Actually, this brushes are already cleaned twice and I'm surprise that the bristles didn't fall off and it stays so soft like a new one. 

This are all less than 400. Very cheap right?


Overall rating: 10/10
Packaging: 10
Density: 10


PROS:
  • Very veryyyyy cheap!
  • Available only at Landmark.
  • Very soft bristles

CONS:
  • NONE :)


As a girl that wants a cheap product but has a good quality, this is a good buy because i'm one of the girls out there who can't afford to buy expensive brushes but has the same quality.

AVON Holiday Collection Make Up Palette

Hey Guys!

I'm here again to do a review about this AVON Product which my mom gave it to me as an additional to my collection. (^_^). I really don't like AVON Products especially when it comes to their foundation, powders and blushes because it really cause me breakouts which is a hell for me. But I love it when it comes to their mascaras and eyeshadows. This comes with a mascara and I will be doing a review on that soon!

So let's get started!


The Box 


Back


The Very Cute Front Packaging.. So Girly! (*_*)


Back


TADAAAAA!! ~~

It contains 2 blushes & 8 awesome eyeshadows.



It also comes with an eyeshadow applicator & a blush applicator.



Swatches of the 2 Blushes.. I think the other one is an Highlighter.
But it says in the packaging that it is a blush.. Confusing.. haha


Swatches of the 4 upper right eyeshadows.
(indoor light)


Swatches of the 4 lower left eyeshadows.
(indoor light)


PROS:
  • Not too shimmery. Good for everyday use.
  • Available in AVON Outlets and dealers (w/c is easy to find)
  • PIGMENTED

CONS:
  • A bit pricey.. I think it's 700+
  • It cause me breakouts when I used twice of the blush T_T

I do not recommend the blush for people like me who has sensitive skin because it really causes breakouts. I promise you! 

Overall rating:
~~ for eyeshadows (9/10)
~~ for blush (5/10)

Overall Packaging:
~~ 10/10 :)


This is my last review for tonight!
See you in my next review!











SHAWILL CREAM EYESHADOW

I know it's late but I just wanna share with you guys this CREAM EYESHADOW from SHAWILL.
This 12 cream eyeshadow I bought is in number 03.. I don't know why but I like the shades in this number..


The Packaging .. Pretty cute right? 



Simple back side .. 


The Colors ... It's obvious that it has shimmers :)
It comes with an applicator.



SWATCHES



I'm Rating this product 10/10 

Why?

It's because I love it's pigmentation. No bad smell. Not too shimmery/glittery for a cream eyeshadow.
Well, we all know that eyeshadows stays for a very long time with help of an eyeshadow base. 
So basically, I tried this eyeshadow with ELF Primer and it stayed for about 2-5 hours w/o retouching. 
Pretty good enough for it's price right? 

PROS:
  • Affordable at 149-150 php
  • Available in SM Malls Department Store, Watsons
  • No bad smell

CONS
  • NONE 

I recommend this to the girls out there who wants an "umpff" (If you know what I mean) to their eyes and to those who loves to party.



I also think that this is a pretty good dupe for the NYX GLITTER CREAM PALETTE.

That's for my today's review my dear lovely girls! 
Take care & Stay Pretty!
Till' my next review :)

FAKE NYX LIPSTICK

I have been a fan of NYX Cosmetics for quite some time now especially the MATTE ones. The reason why I don't like the Round lipsticks because when I bought and tried one which is NARCISSUS, it makes me sick because it is tooooooooooooooo creamy! BUT as a concerned citizen/blogger, I will show you guys how to spot a FAKE NYX LIPPIES.

Credits to the Photo Owners.


I found this online store in facebook selling this fake nyx so that's why I decided to hide their shop name.



It's obvious that the first pic is fake because as you can see in this pic the fake ones have white inside while the authentic don't have.




See the difference?




FAKE!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


By the way guys, if you'll be able to encounter this packaging, don't hesitate to buy it because it's there new packaging. 

Why I know? It's because I've known an online shop which sells AUTHENTIC NYX Cosmetics and her buyers were asking "why is the packaging are not like the previous one they ordered" then she emailed NYX Cosmetics asking this questions and 


Here is what NYX Cosmetics said:




Other is the FAKE NYX MATTE LIPSTICK
WTH. Totally Fake!!



AUTHENTIC

See the difference in packaging right?
hmmmmm.


FAKE PRODUCTS(e/s,lipsticks,eyeliners, etc) HAVE TOO MUCH LEAD CONTENT THAT IS VERY HARMFUL.

Credits to the Photo Owners.


OTHER INFOS
  • AUTHENTIC NYX LIPTICKS smells like a SOAP or a dishwashing liquid.
  • FAKE NYX LIPSTICKS smells like CRAYONS.

It's really disappointing that some sellers don't mind what they're selling just to earn money even though they already know that they're selling fakes. Also, they're selling it same as the authentic ones! WTF right?!

FYI, there is no such thing as SINGAPORE AUTHENTIC. Remember that. If you heard that, it means it's ABSOLUTELY FAKE. It's really good to invest on high quality, authentic products because it's safe than to sell your lips to the fake ones right?



SOPHIE PARIS J'DORE LIPSTICK - Velvet Nude

Sorry for this late post. Haha.

My friend, Arlyn texted me to say that she wants to go with me in trinoma for some reasons. She have class that day so we decided to meet around FEU Morayta 'cause she's studying there. Then, I said that I want to drop by at ST. Thomas Square to buy the two shades of Sophie paris which is Summer pink & Ice pink BUT sadly, it's out of stock. So I end up buying VELVET Nude !



other stuffs they're selling..

Very CUTE Packaging right? :)

Sophie Paris J'adore Lipstick in Velvet Nude



HAND SWATCH:
(Compared with WET N WILD - Bare It All)
Left: Wet n Wild Bare It All
Right: Sophie Velvet Nude


As you can see, both shades mostly look alike but the difference is  Wet n Wild Bare It All  is Matte and the Sophie Velvet Nude is semi matte.




                                                                       Indoor Shot
(Pardon my natural eyebrows -_-)


See how it looks natural on the lips? :)
Great for everyday use right?

PROS:

  • Very Affordable - Php 79.00
  • Glides easily
  • Pigmented
  • Comes in many shades
  • Longevity (for me) 3 hours max. w/o eating (lol!:)
  • Stained on my lips after two swipes of tissue.

CONS:

  • Has a sweet smell which I don't like.
  • Hard to find if you don't know any sophie direct sellers.

So far, I'm rating this lipstick for 9/10 because It's not too creamy so it's really nice on the lips.  By the way, I'm planning to buy the other shades because I only have two: VI Pink click here and Velvet Nude. So that's it! Thanks and Stay tuned! God Bless! :)
