Product Review: L.A. Colors Lipstick in Matte Amethyst

     Hi dearies! Just got home from a 3-day vacation from the beautiful province of Lucban Quezon :) We joined the Pahiyas Festival and this is my nth time to celebrate one of the grandest festival of the year. Lucban Quezon is my mother's hometown that's why celebrating Pahiyas is already marked in our family tradition. Anyhoo, my apologies for posting this review just now. I forgot to schedule this review post before I left Manila. If you still remember my haul post here, I bought this lipstick because I saw the swatch of Gie - Third World Fashion blog. The color looks good on her lips- purple lips for everyday look why not?! Another thing I like was the price! This lipstick is very cheap :) The cheapskate in me rejoices the moment I saw the price. But I have one problem with bright colored lipstick, the true color won't show up on my lips :( Since this shade is on the purple side, I'm expecting that my lips would turn purplish somehow but it turned out a little pinkish. And because Gie already made a comprehensive review, I'll just chronicler my experience with the product here. Click Read More to see if it's a Yay or a Nyay :)

What I like:

• The Price- One of the cheapest lipstick that I currently own. 
• The pigmentation is okay. Can be sheer and buildable until you get the color you like.
• Applies easily on my lips, glides on smoothly.
• Doesn't dry my lips. 
• Lasts 4 hours on my lips. 
• Easily accessible. 
• There's a batch and manufacturing date printed on it.

What I don't like: 

• The packaging- it's flimsy. But can't complain consider the price and the quality, you really get what you pay for.
• Fades easily after eating oily or spicy food so better check after eating or else you'll ended up with a white line of grease on your lips. 
• The scent is a bit off, I can smell the lead whenever I apply this on my lips.
• Contains mineral oil, some individuals are allergic to it.

Will I repurchase? Yes! A cheapskate like me can try all the shades that I want because of the price.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4/5 rating! I just noticed one thing with the pinks, purples and fuchsia lipstick that I've tried, they always turn out the same. I mean, sometimes I can't see a big difference on the shade. I think it's because I have a pigmented lips and that doesn't give justice to the real color of the lipstick. Always prep your lips prior to lipstick application with a good lip balm to avoid dryness. 

     Have you tried L.A. Colors Lipstick? I want to try other shades, can you recommend a good one? Thank you pretties!

Good Times!~

Product Review: Snoe Beso Balm

     This lip balm has been on my wish list for quiet some time. I wasn't able to get a hold of this because I've got more than 4 lip balms on hand that I use alternately everyday. I want to consume everything before buying a new one since most of the lip balms I have were organic so the life span is shorter than rest of the lip balms that I have. I already made a review of my fave lip balm, Carmex and EOS and even though they're my HG's I'm still looking for something that will not only moisturize my lips but will give me more stinging minty sensation after every application. I love minty lip balms. I also read somewhere that lip balms can also give a plumping effect on your lips so this reason made me look for a lip balm that will moisturize and plump lips in one application. When Snoe Beso Balm hit their shelves long time ago, I said to myself this will be added to my long list of "to buy" products. 

     I love reading literature, aka product information. While I was reading the description of this lip balm, the word "freshens breath" caught my attention. Never heard or tried a lip balm that will do that! So this lip balm will not only give you 1 but 3 times the goodness in a tube.

Snoe Beso Balm
PLUMPS, SOOTHES, PROTECTS, FRESHENS BREATH
Warning: Prolonged use may attract the opposite gender and cause intense flirting!

 Snoe Beso Balm

size: 

price: 149php (Around $3.50+)

place bought: Snoe Beauty kiosk at Cinderella Sm, Fairview

instruction for use: Use before kissing or whenever you feel like it.

ingredients: Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, Halianthus (sunflower) seed oil, Beeswax, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) leaf oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Tocopheryl Acetate, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Menthol, Benzophenone 3, Blue1 (CI 42090), Yellow5 (CI 19140)

Snoe Beso Balm
And in Action! I have a slight dry upper lips but when I apply Beso Balm, it becomes moisturized after a couple of minutes. I just applied the lip balm in this photo. Less fine lines too!

What I like:

• The price is affordable.
• I super love the minty feel on my lips after application. 
• I like the cold and tingle feeling that leaves on my lips long after the application.
• Makes my lips smooth and healthy looking. My lips looks dewy too.
• I use this before I sleep at night and when I wake up, my lips are smooth with less lines.
• The packaging is not flimsy and doesn't look cheap. Love the black and green combination.
• Glides smoothly and not greasy at all.
• No waxy feel and not heavy on my lips.

What I don't like:

• The cap has no seal. Sometimes I doubt if the lip balm is exposed or opened accidentally while on display.
• No batch, manufacturing and expiration date on the package.
• Haven't noticed any plumping on my lips.
• No spf :(

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I'm a lip balm girl :D Expect this product to sit on my makeup kit as this earned a spot as one of my fave lip care product as of the moment. I love the tingling sensation it gives that's perfect for the insane heat. But this lip care doesn't have spf so if you'll go swimming or go outside the house in the morning, please use another lip balm with spf to protect your lips from UVA/UBV. But all in all, my experience with this lip balm is so good! Will definitely buy a back up soon :)

     Have you tried Snoe Beso Balm? What's your current lip balm? Thanks for sharing!

Good Times!~
