Product Review: MAC Coral Bliss Lipstick

     I've been lemming for a pretty pink with peach or coral shade lipstick for years now and finally found one in MAC's Cremesheen formula- Coral Bliss. A pretty pink and peach lipstick shade that is perfect for summer and for lazy days when I don't want to wear makeup. The pink and peach tones in this lipstick give a pretty pop of color on my lips whenever I want to brighten up my day. 

     I bought this in an instant because I forgot to bring my lipstick the day I'm on my way to an event. My plan is to buy MAC Angel first before this but after seeing how pretty this baby after the SA (sales lady) handed me the bullet at MAC Sm Aura, I got totally sold. I said to myself that I'm getting this shade not only because of my lemming but it's a nice shade that screams summer. More about MAC Coral Bliss after the jump.

Product Review: Natura Organics Lokal Matte Lipstick/ Supra Matte Liquid Lipstick

     As promised, here's a short review of Natura Organics Lipsticks in Lokal Matte and Supra Matte Liquid variants. They sent six shades housed in a classy bullet made of sturdy acrylic glass. The gold logo of the brand is beautifully stamped in the tube. Since the tube is transparent, I can easily see through it the pretty shades of red, pink and nude. These lipsticks are certified organic, cruelty-free, vegan, and made of natural ingredients.

     Natura Organics launches a newly formulated, highly pigmented lipstick collection called Lokal Matte, which is creamy matte texture, smells and tastes deliciously (banana, strawberry, and melon), blended with natural and organic oils and butter to keep lips moisturized and hydrated. The colors are also fantastic, ranging from a variety of nudes to the darkest plum. On the other hand, the liquid version of this is called Supra Matte Liquid. See the photos and swatches of both variants below :)

Feature: Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Nude Lipstick

     Hello dearies! Did you notice that the beauty trends last year like the Korean glass skin, the Asian drunk blush, the return of glitter were hardly felt natural for Filipina skin? Yes, they were great creative outlets but is not flattering to most Filipina skin tones.

     It’s time to go full circle with a fab palette that shows who we truly are. Luckily, Avon makes it easier to embrace #EveryShadeOfYou. They just come up with a new line of nude lipsticks from Avon True Color, and it’s as gorgeous as it gets with our natural skin tone.

Product Review: NARS Audacious Lipstick in Michiyo

     I'm a self-confessed lipstick lover but I only have few bullets in my collection. I'm building my lipstick arsenal based on brands that I love over the shades available. I can say that I'm still naive when it comes to bold and bright shades that's why I will only use them on special occasions or when the need to sport a striking shade arise.

     NARS Audacious lipstick is the most expensive lipstick that I have to date. It's almost Php 2,000 a bullet. Though it's expensive, it delivers. This line has 40 beautiful colors that give a luxurious, bold and healthier looking lips with every application. See photos, swatches, and my thoughts on NARS Audacious Lipstick in Michiyo below :)

Product Review: MAC Kinda Sexy Lipstick

     I'm slowly building my MAC lipstick arsenal. My first shade was Girl About Town which was a 'pasalubong' pa from my cousin years ago. During that time, I was so obsessed with MAC lipstick to the point that I want to hoard or buy all the shades once there's a new collection. I know it's crazy but a girl can never have too many lipsticks, right?!

     But then I realized that I only need to splurge on the shades that I really want and will suit my skin tone. After all, a lipstick, in general, has a shelf-life of two years after the first swipe and if I will hoard that much, some or all will just be sitting in my drawer waiting to be tossed. I already have a red, pink, and purple shade of MAC lipstick and this time I want a neutral one that I can use every day. Guess what, I've found the perfect neutral shade that I can sport with or without makeup- MAC Kinda Sexy!

Product Review: AVON True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick Line

     Avon will always hold a special place in my heart because it's the first beauty brand that was introduced to me by my mom when I was in high school. My first lip product from Avon was their strawberry lip balm. I presume that 90's kids will agree with me that it's addicting because of the flavor and the scent.

What I like:

• The price is affordable.
• There's no funky or weird scent.
• Each lipstick is housed in a classy black tube.
• It's easy to apply. Glides smoothly on my lips.
• The texture is creamy. For the velvet pinks, I can say it has a buttery texture. 
• For matte reds- both gives a full coverage after one swipe. I can say that color pay-off is opaque upon application.
• For velvet pinks- gives a sheer color at first but buildable on the following swipe.
• The velvet pink shades are wearable, perfect for everyday lip color.
• There are 7 shades for the velvet pinks while 8 shades for the reds to choose from.
• It's easily accessible. Available in all L'Oreal Paris counters nationwide.
• The staying power is great. It leaves a beautiful stain even if I eat greasy and oily food.
• It's not drying on my lips but I still apply my favorite lip balm prior to application.

What I don't like:

• The shade indicator doesn't match the color of the lipstick inside the tube but it's no biggie for me.

Will I repurchase? Yes! I also want to try other shades that's perfect for colder months. 

Recommendation:

    I give this a 5/5 rating. Perfect because the pinks are perfect for everyday makeup and there's a perfect pink shade for every skin tone. The matte reds are also a good investment for those who like to wear different shades of red- from warm to cool tones. There are 8 shades to choose from so I guess you will find the red color that your lipstick loving heart desires.

What are your favorite shades from both collection? Share your thoughts below :)

Good Times!~
