Lime Crime Great Pink Planet

While thinking of something to blog about, I remember that the last time I reviewed this lipstick from Lime Crime which I got free from Ms.Martha of TBJ, I did not post pictures of its swatches. So I decided to re-post it, now with pictures wearing it my lips.

This is my most expensive lipstick so far (though I got it for free). I mean, if you will see my lipstick collection, I only have lipsticks which price range are about 75 pesos to 300.00. So I am happy that I received this gift last year. Isn't it gorgeous?

I love the packaging of Lime Crime Lipsticks. They are in this cute milky pink sturdy tube with sparkly unicorn on it. So lovely.

Take note, this lipstick will turn 1 year old this December, but look! The tube still looks new!

The shade is in "Great Pink Planet".

Lime Crime is well known for its super opaque lipsticks.

I am not really a big fan of the shade. It suits those who have fair skin or Caucasians. But if you love Nicki Minaj, you will surely love this shade :)

Here's the swatch on my wrist. I really don't know why the blogger seems to sharpen the pictures. It looks like texturized tuloy :(

It is said to be that Pink Planet is a more toned version of the shade Countessa Fluorescent. It is a milky pink with a smidgen of lilac.

On lips:

LOL, this is actually me. Sorry for the mustache!

The lipstick is very opaque and pigmented.
A little goes a long way. But I have a hard time applying this on my lips because it streaks a bit. It's creamy but you have to moisturized and exfoliate before using this lipstick. The lipstick has vanilla scent which is super yummy. But it doesn't taste delicious though, and it feels a little bit waxy.

I think this cost around P700+. You can try the other colors such as Centrifuchsia, Cosmopop, Countessa Fluorescent and Retrofuturist.

And that's it.
How bout you guys, do you have Lime Crime Lipstick too?
What shade?

Happy weekend.
Thank you!

Lipsticks Mix: LimeCrime Pink Planet + Ever Bilena Scarlet +FOTD

I know all of you are aware of "Two toned Lipstick", thou I haven't tried wearing such thing, I opted to make a post about "Lipstick Mixing" wherein you use two different shades of lipstick. And maybe some of you already tried it. So in this post, I used two different shades of Lippies. 


1. LimeCrime Pink Planet 
and 
2.Ever Bilena Scarlet

The two lippies has HUGE difference to ano another, the LC is in pink shade with blue undertone while the EBS is a matte red lipstick with orange undertone. I always combine these two whenever I want a bright lipstick but still wearable. I cannot wear the LC alone because it makes my teeth more yellowish (which I really hate) and the EBS is a bit drying to my lips and cannot be worn when you are having a smokey e/s.

Lime Crime Pink planet + Ever Bilena Scarlet

So how did I do this combining thing? First, I applied the LC and top it with EB. Or you can actually do it vice versa (it will make your light lipstick stained nga lang with the bright one pero it can't remove naman).


Actually, combining the two lippies gives you different shade, the picture below is vice versa to the picture above. Here, underneath is the Ever Bilena Scarlet while the LimeCrime Pink Planet is on the top. See the difference?

And here's my EOTD:

Hee, I used the DGcam here at the office, I can't take pictures at home kasi sira pa din ang DGcam ko. How poor I am!


So, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed reading. You guys can try this mixing thing too if you haven't tried them. Post in the comment box below if you have the same post like mine. I am going to try the two toned lipstick next time :)


Thanks for reading lovelies!
Til' next time!
mmtt,

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!

I am the Beauty Junkee's Commenter of the Month, Thank you Ms.Martha!

Warning: This Message may cause bleeding not only to your nose but also to your brain, the following message will be in "Tagalog")

Sorry for the late post Ms.Martha.

 (Ms.Martha ninakaw ko ang picture nyo, sorry)

 

Simula noong August 2011 lang ako gumawa ng blog, kaya hindi ko hilig ang pagsalisali sa mga giveaways ng mga bloggers (di ko alam kung bakit). Pero sumali na pala ako before kay Ms.Locke, at ayun, tsamba nanalo ko! Sinubukan ko lang,kahit bali-baliko ang english ko, i tried it so hard (naks!). Awa naman ni Ms.Locke, sinama nya ko sa 3 winners ng giveaways nya. Moving on (ano ba tagalog ng Moving on?), matagal na kong nagbabasa ng page ni Ms.Martha, kahit wala pa ko nun blog nagbabasa na ko, at aware na ako sa tinatawag na "Commenter of the month" nya. Then when I decided to make my own (naks pangalawang english na to), sinabi ko sa sarili ko na i-fofollow o susubaybayan ko lang yung mga blog na talagang binabasa ko na before like nung kay BubzBeauty (wala sya sa blog ko), at kay Ms.Jen ng Fromheadtotoe.com. Sa maikli, ayun lagi ko ng vinivisit ang mga pages nila, as in araw-araw dahil nga di naman ako busy sa trabaho ko at lagi akong may vacant na oras (parang 2 oras lang ang work ko the rest chat at fb at blog na). Then triny kong maging commenter ni Ms.Martha :) Simula nung December nagcocomment na ko sa mga posts nya (thou hindi lahat nacommentan ko) I was luckily chosen as her "Commenter of the Month" this last December 2011. At nagwagi ako ng isang "Lime Crime Lipstick" na matagal na kong curious kung bakit ang mahal mahal. hahaha. Well Thanks to Ms. Martha for this lippy! Gagawa ako ng separated na post which is a FOTD to let her see that I am using the lipstick na! I adore you Ms. Martha (di dahil sa commenter of the month ako hehe) kasi you're really nice and Beautiful, I love your 'Morena' kutis and it reminds me of Tetchi Agbayani and Glydel Mercado (naks artistahin!). And if there will be a chance, I would love to meet you in person (paspray ng perfume nyo ha??? hehe ) !  Thank You once again, and more power to your blog! Stay beautiful Ms.Martha!

 Here's the pictures of the gift:

I used the lippy last Saturday on my parents Anniversary, it's pigmented and long lasting! Here's the look on my lips;

 

Few swipe goes a long way. 

The color reminds me of Nyx Narcissus, Strawberry Mil and Power.

Thanking you Ms.Martha,

Jenny
