Maybelline Lipstick

So I am going to write a review about Maybelline Lipstick. I have purchased two shades from their Color Senstational collection and one shade from their So Nude collection. At 399 pesos each item.

Upon using the lipsticks that I bought, I have noticed that it dries up my lips. Specially at the end of the day, I can feel that my lips have cracked, and it hurts badly. That's why I always use lip balm before applying the lip color to my lips.

I also noticed that my lips have darken a little bit. I'm quite scared. I cannot quit using my Maybelline lipstick. They have such a beautiful shade that suits a morena skintone. I'm quite sad right now.

But I guess, I will just have to use my Maybelline Lipsticks moderately.. not daily.. maybe for a skip days. :D

But all in all, I will still recommend it to others. Maybe, I am the only who is not that into Maybelline lipstick due for some reasons.

RATING:
3/5

Yay or Nay: Revlon Matte Lipstick

I've been using Revlon Matte Lipstick since I was in college... I actually love it... For the fact that I bought two shades of it...

First I bought the Cocoa Craving shade... The shade was a little bit brownish yet it also has a little bit orange color in it. It was good for daily use. Its not like I'm going to a bar or in a party. It is a neutral color. It is perfect specially if you want to look simple yet classy, I recommend you to use this shade...

So here is a picture of the packaging and the shade - Cocoa Craving...

I enjoyed using this shade... I even bought two pieces of this shade, and then after, I decided to buy other shade from Revlon's Matte Lipstick... 

So I went to SM Mall in Rosales, Pangasinan, and then I visited a Revlon stall... after some time of trying swatches of different shades... I've picked the shade of Mauve it Over...

At first, I was in regret when I bought the shade of Mauve it Over. Because I thought it was very light and dull for my skin tone. I thought it didn't match my skin tone... But then I realized that it was just me, who is always fond of dark and bold shades when it comes to lipsticks...

Mauve it Over was perfect for daily use... This shade was so close to being nude but it has a little bit pink shade in it.

So here is a picture of the shade...

OVERALL:

PROS

• I love all the shades of Revlon's Matte Lipstick.
• Very pigmented.
• Good for daily use.
• You don't need a lip balm to support your lips. The matte lipstick alone is enough.

CONS

• Quite pricy for being a drug store cosmetic... Price is around 350 - 450 pesos...
• Darker shades last longer than the light ones.
• Can dry your lips sometimes.
• The shade "sometimes" transfers or stains your front tooth. But it can be wipe out when seen.

RATING

• 7.5/10

ALL IN ALL:

It was fun having this product, but I will try other more products in the market. Still YAY!

Soft Matte Lipstick

So lately, I've been addicted to this lippies... the NYX Soft Matte Lipstick... At first, I was hesitating to try this lippie, for the reason that it was new to our country, Philippines. I was scared to try out other brand. But I was convinced by the ambiance of their boutique, it was so pleasant. I visited their branch at SM North Edsa.

Here is a video link, so you could check the beauty of their boutique: NYX SM North Edsa Branch

So i bought the shade of Istanbul. The shade was like a light pink, which was very good for daily use. You can use it when you are visiting a friend. attending a church mass, daily office works, and more...

So here is a peek of the packaging of the product:

So that is the packaging. The body was made of plastic and also the black one at the top.

So after my addiction to Istanbul shade, I immediately purchased the San Paulo shade. But this time I bought it online. Because I heard that it is much more cheaper when you bought it online. Which is true!

So I bought it at: Chic Cosmetics Manila

I just don't know if they ship their products worldwide... 

After you sent them your proof of payment, they immediately ship the item. Then, taa-daa, you'll receive the product the next day! Isn't great?

HAHAHA! That's my brief review about that online shop which is based here in the Philippines.

So much of a Segway!

So here's a picture of the San Paulo shade:

So I prefer this shade more. Aside for the fact that, I like darker shades. It suites my morena skintone. It looks more natural to my skintone. It also last longer, even if I drink water or juices. Amazing, because it was still there. Maybe, the shade will fade a little bit, but it will still look good. Because it will appear more natural on your lips. As if you got a pink lips or a little bit dark pink lips naturally! :)

So now I'm giving you the PRO'S AND CONS of NYX Soft Matte Lipstick.

PROS:

• It can last for like 4-8 hours.
• Good for daily use.
• It doesn't dry your lips when you use lip balm after applying your Soft Matte Lipstick.
• I prefer the darker shades than the light ones. For the fact that, it is in a velvet texture.
• Very affordable. Specially when you bought it online.
• Very handy for its size.
• Convenient to use because it has a doe foot applicator.

CONS:

• Lighter shades seem to fade easily. Specially after you drink water.
• It can dry your lips if you don't apply lip balm after.
• You need a lip balm to sustain this lipstick and also your lips.
• In the Philippines, it is very expensive. For the  fact that, it is an imported product.
• The doe foot applicator isn't good for hygiene conscious ladies.

ALL IN ALL:

I still love this product. I will definitely buy this again. Again, I prefer the darker shades because it lasts longer. I can say that this is the cheaper version of MAC Cosmetics. This product is a very good substitute to expensive MAC Cosmetics.

8/10*
