REVIEW: COLOUR COLLECTION LIPSTICKS: HIGH DEFINITION AND MOISTURE INTENSE

A month ago, I realized that I didn't have any red lipstick. I was so in love with other lipstick shades that I forgot I didn't have any red lipstick anymore. I think a red lipstick is a must-have in every girl's makeup kit. 

The mom of my dear office-mate is an Avon and Tupperware dealer. We get huge discounts whenever we buy something from her. So when my office-mate told me that some lipsticks were on sale, I knew I had to buy some red lipstick. I saw the brochure and I decided to buy 3 shades of red lippies! (that's why my husband tells me I am an impulsive buyer)


1. Colour Collection High Definition Lipstick - Cinnamon Red 
2. Colour Collection High Definition Lipstick - Raspberry Red
3. Colour Collection Moisture Intense Lipstick - Rouge Red

Yes! All red. (I could already hear my husband telling me 'Ang dami mo nanamang lipstick, ano yan sabay sabay mong gagamitin?')  :) 


Aside from office work, I also teach Koreans though video. I have to somehow look good on the video and usually, a good shade of lipstick would do the trick that's why I decided to buy Colour Collection High Definition Lipstick in Cinnamon Red and Raspberry Red. Unfortunately, I am not blessed with plump and awesome lips. My lips dry a lot too. So I also decided to got Colour Collection Moisture Intense Lipstick in Rouge Red. 

Price: Originally sold for PhP 399 each but since it was on sale, I got them for PhP 199 each. 

These are the lipstick that I bought 

REVIEW: REVLON Colorburst Lipgloss - Sunset Peach, Hot Pink, Crystal Lilac, and Fire

I am not into lipgloss because I lips feel oily, sticky, and heavy on my lips. I have tried a lot of lip gloss and they felt like butter. But if they are given for free, well I would be glad to use them! :)


I got four shades of Revlon Coloburst Lipgloss from my mom and I'll be showing you the swatches. 

REVIEW: SOPHIE PARIS LIPSTICK in Summer Pink and V.I.Pink

I am back to make another review for lippies! 


I am still searching for that perfect pink lipstick that will match my lips and skin tone. Three weeks ago, one of my officemates told me she bought a pink lipstick from another officemate who sells Sophie Paris products. The shade looked so good on her so that weekend, I decided to visit the nearest Sophie Paris store near our home. 


It was my first time to buy lipsticks from Sophie Paris. I checked out all the colors and they all looked pretty! I had to control myself because first- I didn't have enough money, second -this is my first time to buy lipsticks from Sophie Paris so I am not quite sure if I would love 'em or hate 'em and the third but most important reason - I am trying not to IMPULSIVELY buy everything that I will touch.


So I just bought two. 

Since I am still in search for that perfect 'pink' lipstick, I decided to get: V.IPink and Summer Pink. 

REVIEW: AVON LIPSTICKS (Assorted)

Oh my!
I hate myself for not being on time. I hate it more when I am waaaaaaaaay too late for my schedule. 

This post was due last holiday (Nov. 2) I do not know why it took me so long to do this :(

Anyways, I'll be out for a while. Hmm.. dunno how long but I will be back soon. 
I took photos of the stuff I will write so that I can still post something ;) 




*************************************************************

One of my church-mate sells Avon products. I have the privilege to pay my orders from her within one month so I usually buy Avon products from her. Actually, I am a regular customer of Avon lipsticks! :) 

These Avon lipsticks are my every-day-must-have lippies. Aside from they are affordable (plus the fact that I can pay them within a month), these lipsticks works for me! ;) 

I have 11 assorted Avon lipsticks to show you. Unfortunately, I do not have a complete set of photos of myself wearing these lipsticks :( 



Okay, this is a lot. Lemme first give you a list of the Avon lipsticks that I will show you.

THE PRODUCT/s: 
- This is a lot so I would try to just give a brief description according the the type of lipstick. 
- Avon has a wide selection of lipstick to choose from. Here are the ones that I have. Got the description from the official website of AVON Philippines. 



a. Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick 

 4 g
*Enhanced with pure 24K gold.
* Glides across lips leaving lustrous and shimmering flecks.

*I have 3 of these lipstick - RUBY GOLD, GOLDEN ROSE and NATURAL GOLD. 

*These lipsticks have' shimmering flecks'

*I love these because they keep my lips moisturized and at the same time they do not look too matte nor too shiny.

My personal favorite is the Ultra Moisture Rich 24k Gold Lipstick in Natural Gold.  It looks so natural on my lips and those shimmering flecks are not too obvious.

This is my personal favorite! ^_^ 

REVIEW: NATURE REPUBLIC STAIN GIRL'S TINT - 3 -

Aside from my BB creams, I love lipsticks, lip colors and lip stains. My addiction strikes again!   I haven't tried any lip stains aside from Maybelline, Revlon and TonyMoly. So when I saw this on sale I immediately grabbed it :)

REVIEW: Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick - Perfect Peony

Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick - Perfect Peony

I love REVLON. I love love love love Revlon. 
It's the only cosmetic brand that LOVES my pimple-prone skin. I first fell in-love with their Colorstay Mineral Foundation. Then I fell in love with their lip stains. 

I will be doing a review for their Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick (in Perfect Peony Shade). 

When it comes to make-up, I am a fan of anything that stays for a long time - saves me money and saves me time. So the word 'COLORSTAY' lured my attention.


THE PRODUCT:
- It's a liquid lipstick. 
- According to Revlon's website: 

It's a one-step food-proof lipcolor with patented ColorStay technology that lasts up to 24hours. 

*Food-proof lipcolor with a built-in, ultra-conditioning topcoat.

*One-step application- No topcoat required for comfortable wear.

*Stays comfortable and wears beautifully

*Does not feather or fade; no touch-ups required, even after meals

*Available in 20 full-coverage, soft satin shades, inlcuding 4 new shades!

- Content: 30ml 
- PRICE: PhP 820

For this review, I will be doing the shade in 001-Perfect Peony

- I recently found out that you call this applicator a DOE-FOOT APPLICATOR. 

- I cannot actually find a perfect adjective for this shade. I think it's a bit of a subtle peach-y pink.

I am sorry for the camera. I need to buy a new one. I am using HP s300 (a spare camera since my good old Sony died a month ago)

-Here is a swatch on my skin. (I am starting to develop a feeling of hate for my camera. This is already the best shot I can get. )

with flash 

-Since my camera is killing me, here is a compilation of the photos I took. 

THE APPLICATION: 

- The label says it's a liquid lipstick. This is not similar to your ordinary lipgloss or lipstain.

- It is quite STICKY and CREAMY. If you are a bit sluggish in applying lipstick, better hurry when you apply this product because it dries fast. 

This is what I look like before the application:

 This is a closeup photo of me wearing Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick - Perfect Peony

I took these photos last Sunday. I applied Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick at around 9am. (I usually use cosmetics/make-ups that lasts for hours whenever I go to church.) 

Yup. I do not blow-dry my hair (laziness)

I should've used a lipliner with this.

Few more minutes and I am on my way to church. 

Here are the photos I took just for comparison. (I took these photos at around 9am) 

WHAT I THINK: 
- Hmmm.. I have a lot to say about this product. Here it goes! 
- BEFORE application: 
1. Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick looks creamy when you look at it. 
2. The smell is a bit funky but tolerable. If you love anything that smells sweet/floral, you might not like this. 
3. NOTE: You have to put the applicator back to the tube and close it. This product tends to dry fast. 

- DURING the application: 
1. It has a creamy texture. 
2. After a few seconds of application, it will become STICKY. 
3. Be careful when applying this because it really tends to stick on the teeth. 


-AFTER the application: 
1. When I applied this product on my lips, it felt weird. It does not feel like a lipgloss nor a lipstick. Maybe because it's a liquid lipstick? I dunno. But it had this super creamy texture that you have to apply it evenly on your lips.
 2. It looked good after I have applied it. But after a few seconds, I have have noticed the deep lines on my lips (it's something I have expected because my lips are dry).  

3. When I tried putting lipgloss on, it did not do anything good for the lines. It created patches of 'lipstick stains' on my lips and it made the color uneven. 


BUT WAIT! One more thing. REVLON will not put the name COLORSTAY for nothing. This products REALLY sticks on your lips (and even SKIN!). I had to remove the liquid lipstick on my hand using a makeup remover because using soap and water was not enough to remove it. 

- I usually use this when I go to church because the color is not too striking. And also it really stays for a long time! 
After eating, drinking, talking and gargling mouthwash,  here's the result: 

I took these photos right after I came home from our church (at around 5pm). We have a lot of activities in church so I usually forget to retouch.  

You will notice that the color is still obvious BUT it doesn't look good anymore. The lines are obvious and it looked patchy and flaky. 

Oh! the horror! 

Whew! 

I'm sorry I had to show you pictures of my lips and you might be sick and tired of looking at it. 

PROS:

- The STAYING POWER. - it stays and stick to your lips. 

- The PACKAGING - because you can see the content inside. 

CONS: 

- The SMELL - it has a funky smell.

- It DRIES TOO FAST - so the challenge is: To apply this on your lips evenly before it dries.

- It DRIES your lips. - see the lines?

- It flaky at patchy look after application. 

- Quite expensive (maybe I am just bitter about the price because I am not satisfied with the result). 

Will I buy this again?
NO. I am just finishing this and I am done with this. 

Actually, I have two Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick, one in PERFECT PEONY and the other is ROYAL RAISIN. I haven't opened the ROYAL RAISIN but I will keep you posted on it. 

REVIEW: Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm

It took me 5 months to finish this review and finally! here it is!

I'll be doing a short review for REVLON JUST BITTEN LIPSTAIN + Balm.

Aside from BB creams, I am addicted to anything that will make my lips look 'alive'.

My lips are dry and I tend to look pale without anything on my lips. And in my job, looking pale is a big NO-NO. 

I love lipsticks but there are times that I have to re-apply them on my lips. The problem is, I do not have the luxury of time to check if my lips still look okay. I've seen some reviews on Lip Stains and Lip Tints but I've never bothered trying them because 'stains and tints' would just make my lips look more dry. 

Then, my mom got these for me :) 

I am a big fan of Revlon (especially their Mineral Foundation) so I had a lot if expectations for this product. I will be doing three swatches for this product: PASSION, TWILIGHT AND FORBIDDEN.

THE PRODUCT: 

-It's a 2-in-1 product - a LIP STAIN AND A LIP BALM. 

-Comes in a marker-type form.

- According to Revlon's official website, REVLON JUST BITTEN LIPSTAIN + Balm is a -Unique 2-in-1 lipstain and balm

-Kiss-proof color with soft shine

-Nourishing balm for supreme comfort

-Lightweight feel

-WEIGHT: Lipstain 2.5g ; Lipbalm 1.4g

-Available in 10 shades

THE PRICE: 

-Mall Price is around Php 575

Here are the three shades that I have: PASSION, TWILIGHT AND FORBIDDEN.

Hmmm, I don't know if it's me or just the camera, but TWILIGHT and FORBIDDEN looks the same when you look at them.
