Beauty Product Reviews

Very pigmented but really drying on the lips.

I love this color so much! Istanbul is a blue based pink. It is very pigmented and applies smoothly on the lips. The only downside of this product for me is that it is very drying on the lips. The color payoff is awesome but the lasting power is quite short. After a few hours of application, it seeps into the cracks and lines of the lips and if you already have dry lips, it will make the flakes more visible. I gave this a rating of average because of the formulation.

I love the bronzer and not much a fan of the blush.

I really love this palette especially the bronzer. It's true it is really dark for most skins but with a light hand, it's awesome. I use this almost everyday for contouring the sides of my cheeks. I tried using it on my nose bridge but it just didn't work because it's shimmery. Matte ones are still the best right? For me it blends just okay. The blush is really light but I sort of like it. I often like not-too-obvious blushes so this is good for me. I have a light-medium skin tone and the blush is not that obvious on my skin but upon looking at it, you know I'm wearing blush. It's also shimmery but not sparkly.

The lasting power of the bronzer is again, okay. It lasts up to a few hours on my skin. I guess if you put it really dark on the first application, it might last all day but of course that's ridiculous. lol

Definitely a great red lippy!

I own two red lippies from NYX- Xtreme lip cream in Spicy and Round lipstick in Electra. Electra is not a true red color but it's red. It's a little darker than the regular "red" color, but I really love it. The formulation is really good and it glides on really easy on the lips. The lasting power of this lippy is also great but of course, it's still better if you add a lip liner before applying this if you want to last it all day!

Liquid lipstick

I simply love it! This is a very pigmented lip color, I swear. Not matte but not quite a gloss. I can say it's a liquid lippy. It's very creamy and applies really smoothly over the lips. Spicy has a bright hue to it. It's a coral-red with warm undertones and I guess it suits every skin tone too. At first glance, I thought it has a blue based undertone. I believe this is a really unique lip color because it's not a true coral nor a true red color. This leaves a bit of stain like effect on your lips which is a plus for a lip cream.

A really great mascara!

I had used 2 of these wonderful product. I can definitely say that this is the perfect mascara for me. It does not clump and coats each of my lashes perfectly. I can put at least 4 coats and still my lashes looks good. The vibration really make sense but I guess without the oscillation, it might not work that great. It's just a shame that this is already phased out in our country.

This is the most moisturizing lip balm I ever had! I got the Baby Lips in Antioxidant Berry. The only thing which I didn't like about this product is that, at first when you apply it, the taste well, is not so bad nor not too good. But after a few moments later, there is this certain taste that I can't describe. It was not that bad though. But nonetheless, this balm moisturizes my lips perfectly, and lasts longer than my usual lip balms.

I must say that this brush works like wonders! I use it for my contouring powder and also to set my foundation! My face looks flawless. Plus the bristles are not too stiff, just perfect for sensitive skin.
