[Review] MAC Shot of Colour Lip Oil Lip Gloss #896 Let's Go Streakin'!

Hi lovelies,

Here for another review for ya. The MAC lip oil lip gloss~~ I think there was a lip oil a few years back but there were only a small amount of colour choices plus they were not actually lip gloss. haha

Anyways I didn't really know about them and they don't sell them anymore.

Luckily they came out with this one where they're more colour choices and the colour pay off is much higher.

The lip gloss is encased in a chic black casing (always my favourite) with a hint of the colour at the bottom.

Let's Go Streakin is like a light cinnamon colour which is my favourite lip colour.

The colour is quite semi opaque I guess and it's not a tint yea. It will not stain your lips and you need to remember to reapply.

The viscosity is quite high so it's not runny because having lip gloss sliding down your is not that pretty. haha

The applicator has a bit of a dent in it so you can get full contact with the lip contour I presume. Highly useful and the size is just nice.

Fragrance wise, yes there is one. A hint of vanilla, not that strong..but niceee.

Lasting power I would say a 2 hours, 3 tops if you don't eat.

Makes your lips feels super super soft. Really nice if you use it as a topper for them matte lipsticks. Pwettyy...

Hope you enjoy the mini review and see you guys another time. byesss

Cheers, XX.

[Review] BBIA Last Lipstick in No. 8 Active (적극적)

Hye lovelies :)

I literally just got this lipstick yesterday but I took tons of pictures with it so imma post it straightaway haha

I got the lipstick in No. 8 (I translated it to "active") ;). It's from their green tube series. They have a red tube series as well and I really like No. 4 Intelligent but it keeps on getting sold out darn haha
The IG profile that I got it from is tudungbyme for RM20 excluding shipping~

Matte green tube

No. 8 is kind of a dusty rosy pink which compliments my complexion a lot ^^ *happy*

The lighting made it look lighter though. It's much more darker than this~ trust me :)

There's a bit of a fragrance to it tho, smells like some kind of flower, azalea maybe. Just a heads up for those who are sensitive to fragrance. You won't really smell it during application, it's very light, not too overwhelming.

It tugs at your lips due to it being matte and if you have dry lips, try to to scrub the dead skin first and apply lip balm to soften your lips beforehand yea ^^

As for staying power, quite long if you're not eating oily food. It lasted through my badminton training time and a slice of pizza. It will leave a stain so that's something good :)

The color is very pigmented so one layer is enough for me~

Here are a few pictures in different lighting

Yellowish evening

Perky morning

That's all from me, I hope you guys have a good day and thanks for reading ^^

[Review] Avon Totally Kissable Lipstick in Lacy Mauve

Hye there lovelies...yet another week have passed and so another lippie post for y'all. :)

The chosen lipstick for today is Avon's very own Totally Kissable Lipstick in Lacy Mauve.

It comes in a beautiful mirror-like bullet case. It closes with a nice "click" but somehow, you can still rotate the top. lol
It doesn't come off though, don't worry :)

I like how this picture turned out :)

Pigmentation

It looks kinda like a dark berry red but it doesn't show as that dark on my lips. However, I did notice that it becomes darker as I reapply.

I guess the more layers you put, the darker the colour gets. In the picture above, I actually forgot how many swipes I did so I just put more than 1. By habit, I think I may have applied 2 or 3 times..max. haha..forgive my forgetfulness.

Lip Swatch

Bare Lips

One layer of Lacy Mauve

Ingredients

The bullet was covered with the ingredient list. Usually, I would be so reckless that I wouldn't know how to open it properly. But at this time, I had the decency to use a pen knife. lol

I hope you can see that :3

Fragrance

The usual Avon toffee smell I think (or my brain is accustomed to relate Avon lipsticks to their signature toffee smell)

Staying Power 

Quite well I think. 3-4 hours. This does stain your lips which is a plus for me. You might need to touchup after eating or drinking.

Price

RM 20~25 plus minus. Even lower if you get it on sale. You can get it from your nearest Avon outlet or through an Avon representative. I got mine for around 18.


That's it. Thanks for reading :))

[Review] Etude House Color Lips-Fit in PK003, OR202 and WH901

Hello lovelies~

I know I'm a bit behind on this product but I care not..hahaha.

So, I'm gonna write about Etude House Color/ Colour Lips-Fit which they released early this year (2014) for spring I think. I have the colours PK003 (Fantasy Fit Pink), OR202 (Wannafit Orange) and WH901 ( Clear Gloss). prettyyy~
They have a summer edition but I've never seen them on the shelves in Malaysia though.

From left: OR202 and PK003

 I bought them on separate occasions so I decided I'm gonna do a review for them altogether in one post for convenience. I got 5 mini WH901 as freebies when I bought PK003 but I didn't take any pictures of it except for the swatch. sorry~
They retail for 59.90 in Etude House stores in Malaysia and they are really popular and sells out fast.

This is their full collection

Lipbalm: Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry
kinda misspelt WH901 there.

The Colours

OR202 (Wannafit Orange)

This was the first colour lips-fit that I bought. The name is Wannafit Orange but the colour leans more to reddish with a tinge of orange. I like reddish (not to dramatic kinda red) because it makes me look really alive but I don't like wearing it on a daily basis.

PK003 (Fantasy Fit Pink)

As I stated above, I prefer not to use too bright and dark lip colours on a daily basis so that's why I got this colour. Aaaaand..I love it! It's a pretty pink colour and it's not to bright for me so it doesn't makes me look washed out. It looks kinda coral in the swatch but it's actually really pink. 

WH901

This is basically just a clear gloss because ( I think a lot of people would know this already) the Lips-fit have a matte finish and are really really drying. Terrible for dry lips people like moi~ So, this is to prevent your lips from drying out but wearing it means it won't be a matte anymore (if you know what I'm talking about)..ughh..the dilemma~ 

__________________________________________________________________________________

You guys are probably wondering why I have a swatch of Bunny Pop as well. 

I have experimented on how to prevent the lips-fit from settling in the cracks and fine lines of my lips and I have found that by wearing a very milky hydrating lip stain as a base prevents the lips-fit from drying out the lips too much. oooohhh~ 

Here I used Etude House Colour Shine Pop Tint in #6 Bunny Pop which is a milky pink colour. I think this would work with any type of milky tint like the Etude House Fresh Cherry Tints or The Face Shop Lovely Me;Ex Milky Tint.

So if you guys have the same problem, do try this nifty trick and see if it works. I wouldn't mind if you want to comment me your feedback as well. I would love to know if this technique really works for you too :)

The Box

The Instructions

If you are having a problem reading this~~

 "This is a revolutionary liquid type lipstick that moistly glides onto lips with its vivid color and finishes off with a weightless powdery texture

[Directions] 1. Shake well before use 2. Apply smoothly with tip. Lightly dab onto center of lips for gardation. Delicately apply for full cover. 3. Apply a layer of Color Lips-Fit WH901 after color for moist gloss.

[Caution] 1. Use only as directed. 2. Avoid storing in high and low temperatures and areas exposed to direct sunlight. 3. Cease use if problems arise."

My two cents on this

-Vivid...yes. yes it is. Very vivid indeed.

- Weightless powdery texture...I'm guessing they're trying to describe matte and yes it does feel kinda weightless.

- Shake well...There's a small metal ball inside like those in nail varnish bottles which I think is for mixing purposes. 

- The gradation part...It's really hard to do a gradation with the Lips-Fit. I find applying your concealer on the outside part of your lips first after that apply your colour at the center then blend using a cotton tip kinda helps.  

Lastly, exfoliating reallllly helps ;) 

 Staying Power

I find that when I'm wearing Bunny Pop as a base, it doesn't transfer (much) after it settles and it stays on for about 3-4 hours (with minimal drinking and eating).  >__<

That is all for my review (mostly lengthy talk). I hope you find this interesting and am looking forward to reviewing some more products. Too busy with uni and assignments.

[Review] Too Cool For School Hot Girl Lip Sticker in #3 Lady Salmon

Hello~
I've been so far behind on my reviews that I got a total headache figuring which one I should do a review on. Aaaaaand, it has been decided:

Too Cool For School Hot Girl Lip Sticker in #3 Lady Salmon

picture credit: http://inbeautyshop.com/product_images/k/799/3_lady_salmon__86081_zoom.jpg

So, I got it because I wanted a peachy coral color for CNY (eventhough I don't celebrate cny) haha
But my expectation went downhill because when it came, it was more of a pink coral than peach.
However, it did not entirely disappoint me. :3

shorter than my index finger (though my fingers are longer than average)

Basking in sunlight

Packaging

It comes in a small box which I (being quite geniusly forgetful) unfortunately forgot to take pictures of and the sky turned kinda gloomy so I decided to just leave it. (sorry if anyone is looking for the ingredient list or something)  

Just like the lipstick case, the box is embellished with yellow tartan covering which I find very attractive and easier to look for since it is yellow and all that. 

Size

It is definitely smaller than your average lipsticks I must say, so it is easier to carry but very hard to find if you just chuck it into your bag compare to putting it inside a smaller compartment. Happens all the time~~

^ Compared to the Maybelline Matte for scale.

Colour

As I have stated earlier, the colour is more pinkish coral. It does get a teeny weeny bit brighter if you apply more layers but 2 layers would probably be enough :)

1. Bare lips (exfoliated and balmed) lol

2 and 3. Right and Left respectively with somewhat different lighting~ 

As you can see, it leans more to pink than peach~ 

The colour is almost similar to the advertised photo~ almost~ 

Staying Power

It stays for around ~3 hours with eating and drinking but the colour will fade if you eat greasy food. 

A bit of shine when first applied but becomes almost matte after some time and leaves a tint on your lips ( I appreciate that ) :) 

You need to exfoliate your lips nicely before you apply it though, it tends to make your lip cracks and dryness more visible. Always keep a lip balm handy~ 

Overall, I like it even if it was not exactly the colour I wanted. 

Would I buy it again? Maybe :)) 

I bought mine from Roseroseshop during a sale~ 

Hope you guys enjoy the review~ 

Stay happy and stay tuned :) xx
