Product Review: Wet N Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain Moisturizing Lip Colour in A Stiff Pink

    Early last year, chubby crayon-like lipstick/lip balm/ lip stain hit beauty bloggers by storm. I've seen my favorite beauty gurus reviewing their fave chubby lippies in crayon form from brand one after the other! From high-end to cost effective ones, these babies offer pretty shades and functions more than one. I can't contain my excitement when I saw this from Luxola's website and said to myself that finally I'll be able to get hold of my own crayon because the price of a drugstore brand like Wet N Wild is pretty cheap and affordable!

     Here's a review of Wet N Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain Moisturizing Lip Colour in A Stiff Pink. This product was sent to me by Luxola last February so my apologies if this is a very late review. I describe this lip balm/lipstick/lip gloss/lip stain as a cool toned pink. It's a bright pink that leaves a beautiful stain on my lips. If my memory serves me right, this shade can be a close dupe of one of my lipsticks, MAC Girl About Town (GAT) but this one is a tad ligther. I'll check and update this post just to be sure.

     Photo above shows the content of one crayon. Swatch on my forearm twice. It is very pigmented. Looks light inside crayon packaging but turns into a bright blue toned pink after application. The photo on the right shows the stain. It's a pain to remove, I've already placed my arm under running water and I've tried smudging it to remove but the stain is still there.

What I like:

• The price is el cheapo compared to other chubby sticks in the market today.
• The packaging is cute. It is a twist up crayon pencil that has a clear cap. The packaging's color is the same as the shade of the balm stain.
• No need to sharpen.
• There are 6 gorgeous shades to choose from.
• It's a 4-in-1 product- a lip gloss, lip stain, lipstick and lip balm!
• There's a unique minty, cool sensation upon application. 
• It is very pigmented. Not for the faint of heart if  you apply it with a heavy hand.
• It is easy to apply as it glides smoothly on my lips without tugging and pulling my lips.
• Lasted 6 hours on my lips. 
• Does not fade after eating or sipping my drink.
• Does not fade unevenly as it leaves a beautiful stain on my lips.
• There's a batch and manufacturing date printed on it.

What I don't like: 

• The packaging is flimsy.
• There's a semi- chemical scent.
• It dries out my lips even if I apply my fave lip balm underneath.
• It's a pain to remove even if I use my fave makeup remover.

Will I repurchase? Maybe yes and no. Yes because I want to try the remaining five shades. No because I think a bullet will last long. I'm the type who will empty the contents of a product first before trying or buying a new one if it becomes a fave or HG (holy grail). 

Recommendation:

     I give this product a 4.25/5 rating. I like that it's pigmented and easy to use plus it's affordable but it dries out my lips and I find it hard to remove even if I use my favorite makeup remover. So if your lips are prone to drying, use a heavy duty lip balm underneath this balm stain. The minty and cooling sensation is unique and fun! I recommend this balm stain to budget conscious individuals and to students too who wants to try a good drugstore brand.

5 Makeup Hacks You Never Thought About

     Craving to carry an enigmatic look? Well, to start with, let’s have a brief look at how our makeup industry transformed with those innocent and innovative hacks. It’s been thousands of years that Egyptians made use of aromatic oils to soften their skin soft and cover body odours. Imagine what you call them today! They are popular as moisturizers and deodorants.

     Around 600 decades back, Egyptians daubed kohl around their eyes and today they have come to be known as eye liners.

     Going in the same line, the people of China around 1000 years back coloured their nails with something that is a melange of egg, gum, gum Arabic, gelatine and beeswax. Guess what we call them today? They are the stunning, glossy and colourful nail polish. 

     Further down the timeline, Japanese used rice powder to waxen their faces. Today, you call that loose powder. 

     Aren’t they cool and smart? Wait a moment before you arrive to a conclusion. With loud popularity of the Internet, this present generation has discovered some crazy, off-beat and alluring make-up hacks that you can attempt at home. Here, steal a look at the 5 most surprising make up hacks.

5 Makeup Hacks You Never Thought About

Product Review: Tony Moly Kiss Lover Lip Master in Sexy Red

     Hello 2015! First review of the year goes to Tony Moly Kiss Lover Lip Master because this lip cream/lipstick is my go to lippie for the past few weeks now. I've received this lip product from Tony Moly last October and upon application on my lips, I'm so happy that the color can pass off as my every day 'red' lipstick. I presume you already know that I will choose a pink, hot pink or purple lipstick over red because I look snob with red. I can describe Tony Moly Kiss Lover Lip Master in Sexy Red as a cherry tomato red. A red shade with a hint of orange that is not too bright nor too dark. 

     Fret not if you see in my photos below that the product looks bloody red on the doe foot applicator because once applied, it leaves a healthy red shade that has a decent shine on my lips. To see photos and swatches of Tony Moly Kiss Lover Lip Master in Sexy Red that I dubbed as liquid lip color, lip tint, lip cream and lipstick rolled into one, click CONTINUE READING dearies!

Product Review: Carmex Cherry Stick

     Hello dearies! As we enter the BER months, I can almost say that I feel the cold wind blowing at night. Almost because there are times that I can still feel the hot humid weather in the afternoon. I want to embrace each day waking by up in a breezy weather because it makes my skin less oily and less headache. But with the uprising of cold weather, my puckers started to get dry and flaky. This is the time where heavy duty lip balms play an important role in lip care. It can moisturize, prevent chapped and flaking lips, aids in windburn, and as lipstick base. 

     One of my favorite brand is Carmex. It's a mainstay in my makeup pouch and as a proof, I've already made a review of their Carmex Cherry Tube and Classic Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm in a Jar variants. The three variants of Carmex lip balms are highly recommended. It's up to you which form you prefer. So without further ado, here's an addition to my reviews of Carmex Lip Balms! Click CONTINUE READING to know if this one is one of my faves among the three forms :)
