How did I fall in-love with lipstick? (Lippies Swatches)

I am not really the type of person who loves to wear lipstick. I am always afraid to wear one when I was in high school, since it is actually unnecessary to wear lipstick when you're inside the campus. Why? Because in a public school like mine, wearing lipstick is inappropriate, your teachers might scold you or your classmates might tease you. So, i used to wear lipbalms or lipgloss at that time. Me and my friends used to have the 'kikay kit' or 'grooming kit'. It contains, baby powder, ponds pink face powder (that we usually use as blush on), eyeliner, eyelash curler and of course lipgloss. The only time that I can remember when i used to wear lipstick was during my Senior's prom and graduation day. I really hated it and I am ashamed of wearing lipstick that time, maybe I am not confident wearing it. But that was before.

When I was in college, things change but in a gradual process. I still go for lipgloss, and at that point I wear mascara too.  But you can't see even one lipstick on my grooming kit. There's foundation, blush, eye lash curler, mascara, lipgloss and eyeliner, but there's no lipstick. After graduation, that's the time I decided to wear lipstick, the moment that I bought the Nichido lippy in Raspberry and found out that it suits my skin tone. So usually, I wear lipstick whenever I have a job interview or I'm going out to mall or church. 

Suddenly, things changed, when I got my first job, and have been hooked on reading beauty blogs, it affected me a lot. It makes me become more conscious about how do I look and become a make-up addict, but not really too much. So, today, I know now how to wear lipstick, and starting to LOVE them. I learned that, lipstick can really change a girl's look. It can literally change and make your face bloom. And I know now how to pair and when to use Red, Pink, and orangey lippies. I even learned how to identify its undertones. hehe 

So that's the story of 'How I fell inlove with lipstick', how bout you guys? What's your story about falling inlove with lippies? 

Oh by the way, last Saturday I decluttered my make-up organizer. And I decided to make a lipstick swatch. I am starting to collect lipstick as of now, so I only have few here.

So here's the swatches:

I ONLY HAVE 14 LIPSTICKS, IT'S MORE ON PINK TONES AND CORAL / ORANGE TONE

PICTURES ARE TAKEN WITH FLASH

AND MORE PICTURES, here are the pink lipstick that I have:

pictures were taken without flash, you can se here that Nyx Louisiana really stands out.

• Lime Crime - P900 ?
• Revlon - I don't really know the price it was just a gift from my cousin
• Nyx Louisiana - P140
• Aido - P100 with eyeshadow palette

Here's the Ever Bilena Lipstick from their palette, it doesn't actually have a label on it:

Again, with no flash, The first one on the left side is almost similar to Nyx Louisiana but 2 shades lighter, while the 2nd from the left is a nude one, it looks good with a smokey eye, while the 3rd one is a dark red with brown undertone, you can pair it with just eyeliner and the last on the right side is my favorite, almost like bright magenta but still wearable. These lipsticks come in a EB palette, i forgot how much it was but it's likely more or less P300.00 only with 6 e/s and 2 blush on.

And the orangey shades:

Nichido is a pretty coral lipstick, it really suits the my dark lips it looks so natural. While the Avon lipstain is good for everyday use like if you wanna go to market w/o overlooking. The Nyx rose is a shimmer red with pink undertone, good for everyday use too if you don't want the too much red. The Avon Simply pretty in Cinammon, it was really red if you swipe it like 2 times, but a wearable one thou. And last the Aido 09, it is orangey and good for a summer kissed look :)

• Nichido - P 165.00
• Avon Lipstain - P 150?
• Nyx Rose - P140
• Aido - P25

*Would you like to know which lipstick / lipcream stays for good? After I've done the swatching I immediately washed my arms with running water and a bar soap, but before that, I let the water runs through it and everything stays on its place, no lippy has been smudged, so afterwards, I washed them with a bar soap, and 70 % of the lipstick had been removed, but the Ever Bilena lipcream / lipstick stained my arm, so for second time around, I get my shower gel and my shower net to remove the residue of the lip creams. It surprised me, because EB lippies were the most inexpensive lipstick among the rest and it actually stays for good and hard to remove, maybe because it is more likely on creams which has thick texture.

*And one more thing, I let my dog to sniff my arm before I wash it, he doesn't like the smell of the lipsticks except for the lime Crime Pink planet, he really stop on the area where I swatched the LC and he really wanted to lick it. hahaha. (LC lippy smells like candy thou)

That's all for now. Next time I'll be making a swatch on my lips.

Hope you did enjoy this post!

Thanks!

Haul + SM Department Store SALE

Hello gals! Can't believe that I did purchase some goodies again this weekend. Napaparami yata ang gastos ko? hehe Anyways, I am really out of Mascara and I am looking for a quad eyeshadow that I am going to use for our Special Assembly last March 10 at QC. So, i made up my mind (in the tune of Chasin' pavements of Adele ^^) on buying the Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara, and since SM Taytay has only few stalls of make-ups, I did go for ELF brightening eyeshadow, and give it a chance if I will be satisfied on it. And since I've been torn between a shoulder bag or a flat shoes, I decided to buy the one which will caught my attention or something that is on SALE. And this is what I've saw. SM Dept. store is on it's Summer SALE from March 1- 31, 2012 (on selected items only). I fell inlove with a lots of bags there, from parisian, secosana and others. But I only have P750.00 to splurge. haha! So I look around and this is what I've got!

the two S.A was kinda making 'asaran' to each other, I heard that one of the S.A wants to buy this bag, sorry girl naunahan kita :P

i love the design of this bag

Isn't a steal?? I love this because it is quiet large and I love its color. I was about to get the satchel one but the strap looks so weak and parang masisira kaagad sya. 

I told you, pag nakakita agad ako ng Orange or Red tag, hinihila nila ako papunta sa kanila. "Kuripot Queen" eh. LOL

Elf Quad eyeshadow in Buttenut

Maybelline Hypercurl Volum Express Mascara

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Scarlet

REVIEW WILL BE POSTED VERY SOON!

How bout you gals? What did you purchased this last weekend?

Review: EB Advance Shine Free Make-Up Foundation

I really wanted to make a very informative post about the Ever Bilena Advance Shine Free Make-up Foundation, but still, I am not in the mood and I can't concentrate to come up with that. I am very sorry for that. That's why i decided to make a quick review about it, before i run out of the product very soon. I've been using this for a month now, and I am satisfied with the result. By the way, there are 4 types of foundation from EB, the Pro-Flawless Foundation (which is said to be recommended for dry skin), the Shine Free Foundation (claiming to give you a matte result), Studio Finish Stick Foundation (have a creamy texture) and the Two way Cake Powder Foundation (can be use dry/wet). 

Here's the picture of the product:

 It comes with a gold cap tube, contains 30 ML for P130.00

 It has UVA/UVB Sunscreen.

The Swatch:

  Left part of the hand no product

Right part has product blended

On face:

Left Picture no Foundation

Right Picture has Foundation

( Sorry for the ugly picture! hehe having dilemma with those pimple scars) huhuhuhu T_T

Pro's:

• Affordable price, 30ML for P130.00
• It gives a matte face for almost 3 hours
• No weird smell (smells like soft and yummy biscuit) hehe really don't know how to describe it
• Easy to blend (with fingers or with stippling brush)
• Has medium coverage
• No break out

Con's:

• When it comes to coverage, the Two WAy Cake Powder Foundation is far way better that this. I've been using the TWCP for a year and i found it effective in covering pimple scar whether you use it dry or wet for full coverage. Really amazing!

That's all. But the product is 8/10! Recommended for oily skin :)

Review - EB Evera Brown Eye Pencil

Dahil sinipag ako, okay gawa ulit ng post. So here's the short review about the Ever Bilena Brown Pencil that i bought in my Thrifty Cart Part 2. Pasok sa budget ito mga sis since P45.00 lang sya, I'm almost out of brown pencil na kasi and i heard a lot of good reviews about ever bilena pencils just like what Ms. Noe and Ms. Jes using (Thou gamit nila ang isa pang line ng EB pero if im not mistaken they both using the same pencil). I usually use this for filling my brows specially ngayong may poknat ang kilay ko (ano ba sa english ang poknat? hahaha). I opted brown instead of black since it gives me a more lighter look while the black can really make you look mataray. So here's the swatch. 

So far okay naman sya :) good din gamitin for your waterline if you want the everyday look.

How bout you ladies? What do you use to groom and fill your brows?

Thrifty Cart - Part 2

Yesterday Brother and I went to Watson's to check for Ponds sale ek-ek. hehe So we end up buying these products. Would you believe that these 7 products we're only amounting Like 230.00 pesos??

Yeah, yeah, The Pond's Clear Solution only Cost around 70.00 and Pond's white beauty for 80.00, and it's buy 1 take 1 so tig-isa kame ng brother ko.

Mura eh. hehe  So, if you're into Pond's, check out the nearest watson's outlet near you to avail their B1T1, Hurry ladies, makakatipid kayo for sure :) Another Thrifty thing ito :)

Jenny
