[Review] Rom&and Zero Matte Lipstick in #10 Before Sunset

Hi lovelies,

Another day, another review.
Today I'll be reviewing the cult favourite brand, Rom&and. They have beautiful lip products and they range from lipsticks to lip gloss, matte one, velvet one...you name it.

The brand is actually quite popular in Korea but there's no physical shop here in Malaysia yet.
The only way you can find this brand is at MLBB (they have a few stores in Malaysia, none in East)
MLBB has a variety of brands like Rom&and, A'pieu, Piciberry and some more, albeit not that many product variety of each brand.
We have an A'pieu store here which I think might (might ah) be changed to MLBB as well.

I only have ONE item from Piciberry which is their crayon eyeshadow I think. I'll see how to review that later.

Continue..the lipstick.

Overall, it's very nice to use. The texture is matte but when you apply it, it doesn't drag on your lips.
Application is very smooth and you get a very opaque colour with one swipe.

The colour that I chose belongs to a line of that brand but I forgot what it is. Something to do with sunsets maybe. *Checked* Yes, it belongs to the sunset line. How fitting.
The colour is almost a brick red colour but it has some pink in it. So like muted red I guess.

Maybe that red you see before the sun sets. Get it hahahaha
(okay enough...)

The longevity is good. Doesn't rub off easily and and there's a bit of a staining to it.
Because of the dark colour.

Price. I can't really recall but it's less than RM50 I think.

That's all for this little review. I hope you guys like it.
See you next time ^-^

Cheers, XX

[Review] Victoria Secret Velvet Matte Cream Lip Stain in Magnetic

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WOOF WOOF 🐶

Hi everyone,
Hi 2018,

I  haven't written for so long I'm almost scared to write eh~
Last year I wanted to write so much but had a lot of things going on so it dragged and dragged until NOW! haha

So the first post that I want to write about is my first present of the new year. It's the......
Victoria Secret Velvet Matte Cream Lip Stain~~~ The one I got is a mauve-y kinda colour, Magnetic.
I've been looking into the lip stick since late last year but never really got the chance or the need to buy it myself since the price was RM59.00. But they were having a sale so I asked my sis to check them out for me and in the end she got them for the both of us since they're having a buy 2 free 1 promotion at the store.
Let's go! ^^

🌼Packaging 🌼

Normal...normal...normal. Nothing fancy, just simple and tells you what you need to know. I had a bit of trouble finding the name of the one I had because it turns out the name was hidden under the price tag. sheesh...
The colour on the tube supposedly corresponds to the lip colour but I think the actual lip colour is a tad bit lighter. Unless....you put two layers maybe.
My style of using lipstick (apply in the middle then spreading it probably makes it look lighter than the intended shade).

🌼 Pigmentation 🌼

Very good!
It's definitely creamy but not runny. The texture is very opaque but because its cream matte nature, it tends to show your lip lines but for me I don't think it makes them look as bad as how MAC matte lipsticks make my lips look. hahaha 😅😅

Le tired face

🌼 Staying Power 🌼

Initially I thought because of the creamy texture, it's going to transfer easily. However, after you apply the lip cream, it will take one minute or so to settle then you'll find it all good and matte looking.
I did a drinking test and there was a tiny tiny bit of transfer initially but after that no more. This concept would be similar if you blot your lips after the lip cream has settle down.
So, definitely staining..good good. It lasts quite long, 4-5 hours but it might disappear a bit if you take oily food.
Ah...oily food. The enemy of lipsticks everywhere

Final thoughts
Love it!

Have a try at it when you get a chance aye!
Till next time lovelies.
Cheers, XXX

[Review] Avon Ultracolour Lipstick in Berry Berry Nice

Hi there lovelies, 

 

Here is a quick review on one of Avon's lipstick from their Ultracolour line~
They have a lot of lines...

I'm gonna keep it K.I.S.S.  

 

 

Well this one is called Berry Berry Nice which is a nice berry red shade.

Pigmentation

Wrist swatch

Oh really good~~
Even at 1 swipe, the colour is similar after 3 swipes so it doesn't do the colour build up thing but since the pigrmentation is this good it leaves a stain on the lips.

Lasting Power

It lasts for quite a time on the lips if you have minimal eating and drinking. It won't last you the whole day nor will it last after a hot/ oily meal or your lunch. As I said earlier, it did leave a stain after I eat but that stain goes away after some time as well.
In other words, you might need to pop it out again after eating....stuff, which I don't mind :3  lewl

Fragrance

It has the signature Avon lipstick smell. You won't smell it when you put it on, it's only when you actually go and have a sniff at it (As in bring your nose really close to the lipstick whilst trying not to stab your nose with it).

So if you don't want a red in your face colour but a dark(ish) red then this will be good you.

Here is how I like to use it :)

p.s I'm sorry I don't remember the price. Avon usually have sales (a lot) so you can hop over to your nearest Avon shop or ask your local Avon ambassador. 

Thanks for reading :)xx
(I've been awol, but it's sem break and I'm out and about!)

[Review] Colourpop Lippiestix in Clique and Frida

Hello lovelies :)

Today I'm gonna share to you guys my review of Colourpop Lippiestix Lipsticks~~
I got mine from an instagram shop called aliceandcloud. You can preorder makeup and if you buy the ready stocked ones, you for sure can get them super fast~ I'm not sure if they will deliver outside of Malaysia but if anyone's willing to ask, go right ahead :)

So, moving on..I do get carried away sometimes >__< The shades that I got was a red-orange Clique and a nude Frida~ I got Clique for my mom as well, she loves red lipsticks.

Clique has a matte finish and Frida has a satin finish

Le boxes

There are no description of the ingredients whatsoever on the boxes. I tried opening their website Colourpop.com but the lippies section has a tiny problem so I can't open it as of when I'm writing this blog entry but I hope by the time you guys check it out, it would be resolved. In their "About us" section, they do state that they use luxury formulas...so....I guess it's guts instincts with this one.

 

The lipsticks in the tube. Turned out 20% and 100%. Plenty of products :)

The tube is well..white (lol) and you can easily mistook it for a pen if you're the kind that "I'm just gonna stash everything in my bag" kinda person. So, be careful ;) 

Swatches on the wrist

Close-up! I love using my macro lenses. hehe

My lip swatches.

From the close up swatches, you can see that Frida is more creamier than Clique whereas the latter is not really that dryish kind of matte. I prefer using my bright lipsticks in gradation because I think it can make you look quite young :) 

Pigmentation

They both are very opaque and the colours are on point with the bottom colour. 

Staying power

Not bad. Clique of course stayed longer being matte but eating oily food can wipe it off super duper fast. I would say both can stay for about 3 hours with minimal drinking or eating. As of all lip products eyh :) 

Fragrance

I don't think there's any fragrance but my smell sense is a bit loopy sometimes :P

So, overall I love it!

If you are from Malaysia, you can purchase it from Alice and Cloud instagram at aliceandcloud. The lippiestix retails at RM32 excluding postage.
Postage: WM RM7, EM RM10

[Review] Za Pure Shine Lips Lipstick in 09 Red Coral

Happy Sunday lovelies~

Chinese New Year holiday just ended and I can finally sit down and write up a blogpost. Two if possible...If~

So, since I am still in my cny mood, I'll post about something red. Today, that is the Za Pure Shine Lips Lipstick in Red Coral #09.

The lipstick is very sheer and it's good if you want a a wash of colour on your lips. I have very pale lips so sometimes I use this on it's own or on top of a lip stain to add some moisture.

It's actually quite similar to Elizabeth Arden sheer lipstick. I remember seeing a colour having a similar shade to this but Za's is about a quarter much cheaper than that lipstick.

This is it with le cap on. Za imprints all over.  Though the way I took the picture, the case looks kinda absurdly tall but it's actually normal sized. haha

Pigmentation

The finish, as I had mentioned earlier is sheer. So, even if you layer it, the colour wouldn't build up much and it comes to a point where you'll only get that much of colour.

There are some glitters but you can't really see them on the lips. 

Ingredients

Nope. I don't have it. Not sure if I didn't take a picture of it or there were none.
But....I have these pictures.

Contains mosturizing agents [Collagen Complex, Hyaluronic acid and Evening primrose oil, provides long-lasting rich moisture and prevents dryness.)

It has mosturizing agents to keeps your lips mosturised. lol (very helpful of me..)
Prismatic Red Pigment....well. That I don't know how or even what to explain.
I found somewhere on a site "The prismatic red pigment
emits a shiny red hue to provide a sheer and brilliantly pure colour" 
 
However, if anybody knows more..feel free to comment down below yea. :)

Directions

They provide you a direction on how to use..

I don't bother using a lip brush because it's very sheer and applied directly from the tube.




I don't have any lip swatch but the colour is quite similar to the arm swatch. ^^

Fragrance

None :)

Staying Power

Stays for a few hours but disappears after meals. 

Price

Retails for RM27.90. You can find it in Watson, Guardian, Sasa, etc. I got mine on sale in Everise for RM16.

[Review] L'oreal Color Riche Le Rouge in CR402 Fairy Touch

Hullo~~~

I've actually had this lipstick for half a year. Had too much on my hand so I missed the early review but it did give ample time to have a good go at this lipstick.

I have the whole collection of L'oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash (which I have not reviewed as well)
teehee which I lovee and I thought I would get the same satisfaction with the lipstick. :/

So, here's the tube

Golden and all...ain't it a beauty. I was going around the store and this tube was just so shiny I can't help it..haha. The square thing outside shows the colour of the lipstick.

pretty top

I think I had more product than this. (Used it a couple of time)

Arm Swatch

The breakdown~

Let's start with...

Finish - Shine

 

Pigmentation - Quite opaque. 2 swipes and you get a beautiful colour. I chose fairy touch because I'd thought so brown-ish colour would look more natural on me. I was right. It's a beautiful shade. Almost cinnamonly.

Fragrance - None

Staying Power - This is the downside..It doesn't stay long. Even if you don't eat, you can see some colour fading. However, I do enjoying reapplying. I would say this colour stayed around 2 hours for me. 

Price - Am not sure. Around RM30 I think.

Me with Fairy Touch

It's still a pretty colour.

Thanks for reading lovelies :)

Cheers XX

[Review] MAC in Please Me

Hai Hello chingudul~~

Haven't been posting anything lately but I've actually bought gazillion of stuffs and I don't know when to start. XD nice excuse.

Well, Since I'm liking the lipsticks from this brand, I've decided to write about Please Me by MAC.
It's finish is matte.
Kinda drying but if you prep your lips with lip balm and did some exfoliating prior to using the lipstick then it won't matter much. ;)
I took it in different lighting points :3 The third picture is the most similar to the color when it is applied on the lips.

Taken from my phone

It also looks different on the lips depending on the light as well. It's a very pretty color and I would definitely use it if I don't want to think too much or when I'm in a hurry XD. It lasts for about 4 hours with eating and drinking and probably more if you don't.
It will feel dry after some time but I fixed that by dabbing some lip balm which kinda helps.

Please Me is one of MAC's bestsellers and I see why. I see this color looking really really nice on any skin tone.

A tip: It looks better when applied using a brush and it lasts longer too. :)

I hope this review helps if you've been scrolling through dozens of blogs looking at reviews (like I did) ㅋㅋ

 

Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips Talk JOR202

Firstly, I want to express my small disappointment after finding out that this lipstick did turn out to be that orangey colour  that I hoped for but I have learned to love that colour, so no problem. 

In my opinion, there is not much difference to JPK001. Both are pinkish tints and both are effectively keeping my lips moist and healthy-looking. ^^<3

This is a picture of 1) nothing on the lips 2) first application and 3) second application

I'm not fond of bright lip colours so I just put it on lightly so you don't really see much difference there but the colour does intensifies if you apply more and maybe stay on longer. 

So, just like jpk001, this

a) does not dry out my lips (even without lip balm)

b) smells nice but won't taste or smell it anymore after application

c) cute packaging

d) lasts for a long time (even after eating and drinking, still depends on what you take though, I think)

Since this lipstick does not dry out my lips, I'm gonna look at more shades when I go to korea. 안녕~ for now. ^^
