SM Beauty Lipstick Fest 2016

     So how many lipsticks you have in your makeup stash? Three, five, ten, or more? I will assume that you have more than five because I agree that a girl really can never have too many lipsticks! We always want to have all the shades, the latest shades perhaps, the cutest and most sleek bullet, the budget-friendly ones, and so on and so forth.All girls will agree that once we get our hands on our first lipsticks, there's no stopping us from buying one tube to another. This is the most basic makeup that we have in our kit and it's a no brainer how to apply it. 

     Can I say that our generation is blessed because there are so many lipstick formulas in the market today- from tinted lip balm to glosses, lipsticks, mattes, and liquid formulas? We have so many options and did you know that a lip product's transformative power can be confidence booster or an artful expression? A swipe of one lip product can harness a presence that helps empower the modern Filipina. To make a long introduction short, I have great news to all lipstick lovers out there- The SM Beauty's Lipstick Fest Celebration Year 2. More reasons why you should not miss this below :)

2nd SM Beauty Lipstick Fest 2016 

     SM Beauty wants to join every Filipinas journey of discovering the many different possibilities of lipstick! Like what I've mentioned above, lip products come in many forms and shades unlike before that we only have limited options. What are your favorite shades?

1. There nudes and pinks, for chill weekends and classic looks. If you're looking for a high-end brand, there's Guerlain. Look at the tubes below, they have a wide array of nudes and pinks!

2. Red and purples for those days that you need to own the room and make a statement. Red lipsticks make a powerful statement, some girls can sport red lipstick alone. If you're afraid that shades of red and purples will make you look snob, it's a big NO! Look at those lip lacquers below from Clinique. Pretty shades of red and purple for the win!

3. The wild colors such as your blues and blacks, for days that you are feeling a bit rebellious and bold. Whatever the mood, we have the perfect shade for you—no matter what the day or occasion. OFRA offers lip products in wild shades in their liquid lipstick collections. They have blue and green shades, yay!

     Aside from lipstick, the basics are important which help us achieve perfect puckers. You must include this in your beauty kit so that application of your favorite lipstick is always a breeze.

1. Lip balms keep dry pouts at bay by providing nutrients that replenish moisture while lip liners on the other hand, make sure your lip color stays put throughout the day.

Product Review: Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick- Photos and Swatches

     I agree that you can never have too many lipsticks especially if the shades are so gorgeous and you get compliments every time you wear them! I've been sporting different shades of matte lipsticks lately and most of them are nudes! It's time for nude lipsticks to shine but most of my friends are afraid to wear them. They told me that the shade washes them out. Either they look pale or sick. 

     If you're itching to sport nude lipstick but having second thoughts on what specific shade to get then fret not because Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick by Colorsensational is the answer. I received these matte nude colors in rosy flesh-tone pigments last month and surprisingly I get compliments every time I wear my favorite shades from the line. So without further ado, sharing with you below my photos, swatch and my thoughts on Maybelline Rosy Matte by Colorsensational Lipsticks in Natural Beige, Soft Pink, Rosy Peach, Apricot Beige, and Salmon Pink below :)

Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick

     When sultry, smoky eyes or luscious, long lashes are the main focus of a woman’s makeup, nude-hued lips were originally worn to downplay a beauty look. But today, nudes have evolved into becoming a style staple and statement perfect for that clean and sexy everyday look.

Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick in Soft Pink

What I like:

• The price- it's very affordable. Great for budget conscious individuals.
• There's no funky or weird scent.
• The packaging- it has an opaque packaging that comes in pretty metallic pink color.
• It's easy to apply. Glides smoothly on my lips.
• The texture is creamy and gives a full coverage after two swipes on my pigmented lips.
• It's not drying on my lips but I still prefer to apply lip balm prior to application.
• There are five vivid colors to choose from.
• It's easily accessible.
• The shades are wearable, perfect for everyday lip color and those who want to achieve the 'no make-up' makeup look.
• The best part- did not wash me out in photos. I don't look pale nor sick.
• Three out of five shades are true to the color of the lipstick inside the tube upon application. These shades are rosy peach, salmon pink, and natural beige. 

What I don't like:

• The shades at the bottom of the bullet can be misleading to the true color of the lipstick.
• The staying power is so-so as it fades after eating.
• Two shades- salmon pink and soft pink look different on my pigmented lips. 

Will I repurchase? Yes! My favorite colors are natural beige and salmon pink. I always get a lot of compliments whenever I sport these shades :)

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. Yay to Maybelline Philippines for bringing this line here in our country. Now Filipinas can go nude and choose nude lipsticks that are budget friendly and wearable. I highly recommend Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipsticks to those who want to try nude lipsticks since this shade is in trend this year. Go ahead and swatch these five color at Maybelline counters nationwide and dare to go nude!

Have you tried these gorgeous nudes from Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick? What's your favorite shade?

Product Review: Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante

     Looking at my makeup stash, I see mostly bullets than compacts, pens, or pans. It's because I'm a huge fan of lipsticks. It's my everyday makeup essential. My lipstick collection is not huge compared to other beauty bloggers and the colors are mostly pinks. I feel comfortable wearing lipstick shades from light pinks to dark and bold ones. I have other shades like red, purple, and orange but I use them once in a blue moon. 

     Today, let me share with you a quick review of Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante. This luxurious bullet from La Perle de Chanel collection was a birthday gift from one of my favorite PR firms. I was surprised when they handed me that Iconic black and white paper bag of Chanel and when I looked inside, I saw a bullet of lipstick :) So without further ado, here are the photos, swatches, and my thoughts on one of my expensive lipstick to date- Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante.

Product Review: Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante 

   
 According to what I've read, this lipstick is a limited edition from La Perle de Chanel collection 

Inspired by the graceful world of ballet, this delicate makeup collection features rosy tones and glimmering metallics in beautiful balance. Taking center stage: a limited-edition five-shade palette featuring romantic lipsticks and glosses to choreograph a colourful lip look.

     This lipstick is under the Rouge Allure line which is described by Chanel as The next generation of ROUGE ALLURE dresses lips with unmistakable attitude. A new formula with concentrated, ultra-thin pigments offers radically intense, long-wearing colour with full coverage and a satin finish. Leaves lips supple and protected with lasting comfort.

Product Review: Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante 

     
     I was so excited to open the tube by the time I received it but I was covering an event that day. I forgot that I have a new bullet of lipstick inside my bag. My excitement turned to dismay when I reached home because this thing happened:

Product Review: Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante 
See the damage above? :(

   
     Well, my lipstick loving heart became so upset seeing a slight damage to this luxurious lipstick which I describe as a raspberry pink shade with hint of shimmers but when applied on my lips, the shimmers are not noticeable at all. The color also may vary depends on the lighting, sometimes it looks reddish or purplish pink on my pigmented lips. In the swatch below, it looks that there's a combination of red and brown that's why it can also be described as rosy pink.

Product Review: Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante 

What I like:

• The packaging- luxurious because of the black and gold combination. The bullet also has a unique mechanism where you have to push one end of the tube to unlock it.
• The scent- there's a subtle floral scent that is not overpowering.
• The texture is smooth and creamy which makes it easy to apply on my lips.
• It gives a light feeling on my lips after application. 
• It's not that moisturizing because I still apply lip balm prior to application of this lipstick but it does not dry my lips after long wear.
• Lasts 5 to 6 hours on my lips.
• I don't need a lip liner because it doesn't settle in lip lines and doesn't feather or bleed.
• Goes medium after one layer on my lips so I only need two swipes for the beautiful color to pop.
• Great for everyday makeup. I can say that this is my new red lipstick as I feel sexy in it.
• Batch, manufacturing, and expiration date printed on the box packaging.

What I don't like:

• The price- yes it's expensive.

Will I repurchase: Yes, if I have extra money to buy another bullet. Other shades are already on my wish list :)

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. This is my go-to lipstick as of the moment. I wear this almost every day. This shade is wearable and buildable. It can be used for a 'no makeup' by swiping once or twice on the lips and can go boldly after three swipes. Even though this lipstick is creamy and glides smoothly on my lips without tugging upon application, I still apply my favorite lip balm underneath.

     Chanel Rouge Allure 158 in Virevoltante suits my fair skin tone and doesn't make my teeth yellowish. I have yellowish teeth and some pink lippies emphasized the color of my teeth more when I'm wearing them. I highly recommend this shade if you're looking for a wearable day and night lipstick. If you want to Splurge and treat yourself, go for a Chanel lipstick!

What's your favorite Chanel lipstick shade? Share your thoughts below :)

Good Times!~

Product Review: MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick

     I have a long list of lemmings especially makeups and to be more specific a long list of lipstick shades from different high-end brands. Crossing one shade in the list today because I finally got myself a tube of MAC Ruby Woo last year. It's supposed to be a birthday gift to myself but became an impulse buy when I dropped by in MAC Store at Sm Makati.

     This famous red shade lipstick from MAC has been raved many times by beauty bloggers around the globe and an all-time favorite of famous celebrities here and abroad. Sharing with you some photos and swatches below and why despite the things I don't like about Mac Ruby Woo, I will still highly recommend this shade to you!

Celeteque DermoCosmetics Launch #2XBeautiful

     Hi dearies! I want to ask something, are you the type who will buy cosmetics because of the price? or because it's multipurpose?

Pink Sugar Cosmetics Grand Launch + Swatchfest

     Hi dearies! I feel very privileged and honored to be invited to one of the sweetest event of the year. I'm definitely sure you've already seen top beauty bloggers raving the newest baby in town. Yes, this makeup brand is taking the beauty blogging community by storm because aside from the quality of their products, the price is budget-friendly and proudly Philippine made!

     I was invited to the grand launch of Pink Sugar Cosmetics last October that was held at Stella Woodfire Bistro in BGC.

     As what I've said above, this was a swatchfest event. We were allowed to play with the entire line of their gorgeous makeups and let our creativity shine through swatching. I was intrigued with Pink Sugar's Sugar Tint Lip and Cheek Tints so they were the first ones that I swatched during the event. After this, I also swatched 5 shades from the HD and Creamy Matte Lipstick line. I've tried mostly pink shades.

MY APOLOGIES for the poor lighting :(

     So all in all, Pink Sugar Cosmetics is a brand that I highly recommend because of these reasons that I'm sure all of you will agree:

• It's a homegrown brand.
• The formulation is suited for Filipina skin.
• Comes in a fab and eye catching packaging.
• Each Pink Sugar product is cruelty-free and Paraben- free.
• The formulation is also good for sensitive skin as some of the makeup contains Vitamin A, C, E, shea butter and antioxidant ingredients.
• The price is very affordable.
• Extremely pigmented!
• It's easily accessible- available at major SM Beauty stores nationwide (SM Aura, SM Makati, SM Marilao, SM Manila, SM Fairview, SM MOA, SM Clark, SM Lanang Premiere Davao) and at Ayala Center Cebu.
• It's also available online thru Beauty MNL- www.beautymnl.com
• There's a wide array of shades to choose from!
