[Review] Rom&and Lip Gloss in #11 Pink Pumpkin and #07 Jujube

Hi lovelies,

Yayy Rom&and again today.

I ordered one of it from the website mlbb.com last time, liked the colour so much that I went and bought another one at the physical store at Sunway Pyramid.

I know they have another collection of lip gloss that's more glossy but it's not available physically in Malaysia so you need to buy from Shopee. They're almost Rm50 for one so I'll wait until I finish the ones I have first.Not easy when you keep seeing them on your IG feed yea...

The texture of these lip gloss are very light and and easy to apply. They're not runny and they sit nicely on the lips. They don't feel tacky and sticky at all.

Pigmentation is nice and quite strong. They do have tinting properties but not really strong so that's nice and okay for me. In these hot days, I don't feel like using products that are so matte all the time because I'll be hot and dehydrated as well anyways. hahah

Anyways, as for transferring onto other objects. After it sits on your lips for a while, the first when you go drink or eat, there will be a bit of transfer but after that there won't be any anymore.
I’ll add in extra pictures once I’ve taken them yea haha

There are many other colours to choose from, you can check them out on the website or find them on Shopee or the global Olive Young webbsite.

I hope you  guys have enjoyed this little review.
Stay home and stay safe (2020 motto).
I'll see you guys another time yea.
Bye...

Cheers, XX

[Review] MAC Prep and Prime Lip Primer and Fix Plus

 Hi lovelies,

Today I'll be reviewing the Prep and Prime line from MAC.
They are the lip primer and face setting spray yay!!

I've always wanted to try these two products because they've said to be great inclusion into your makeup routine.

On to it....

Lip Primer

Pretty aye

On the website, it is said to be a "colour free lipstick that smoothes and refines the lip"
I agree! They make application of their matte lipstick much easier and the lipstick doesn't feel so drying on the lips. You of course may use it with other lipstick okay, pssh...^-^

That's one of the reasons I decided to finally bought this product because I feel that wearing the matte lipstick was too drying. Though I've tried wearing lip balms and vaseline as a base, they will ultimately feel dry again afterwards. Ive not experienced this while using the lip primer. Assa!!

I got mine from the spring 2020 collection. The petal something. Basically the same but with a matte pink casing. That's all! hahahah
It retailed for RM91 but the original one was RM83. So...lol....Probably not gonna go for any limited edition ones after this.

Next...

Fix+ Spray

This is also a cult favourite. I wanted to try out a travel size one but when you calculate the product volume and price it's really not worth it. Better buy the full version.

The web says "a lightweight water mist that gently soothes and refreshes skin and finishes makeup".
Lemme say, it is definitely not a setting spray that won't make your makeup budge.
Not that kind. That kind I observe, doesn't usually smell very pleasant. harhar

This one leans more towards finishing your makeup base such that everything that you've applied on your face will settle down nicely and makes the makeup look better.
It smells nice and they have a few fragrances ranging from none, cucumber, lavender and rose.
The limited edition one smelled like cherry blossoms. I got mine in lavender. Smells wonderful.

It makes my makeup look much more pleasant to look at and I also use it to refresh my face if I'm out the whole day. A spritz of energy!!

Ingredient list

The product retails for RM105 for 100mL. Not sure how much is the limited edition one but most probably a bit more expensive.

That is all from me.
I hope you guys have a nice time.
Cheers, XX

[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] Holika Holika NuDrop Dewy Stick #01 See Through Peach and NuDrop Lumi Cheek #01 Caramel Lustre

Hi lovelies,

Today I will be reviewing the not so long ago released, Nu Drop Collection from Holika Holika.
I believe from my observation that this line is geared more towards glowy makeup.

So I got only two items because they're quite expens haha
I got the lipstick dewy stick and the blusher. The blusher I was kinda hoping it would be a dupe for
Mac glow blusher but it wasn't really up to par though.

Here we go

First the lipstick

The texture is really nice and creamy. It has a balmy feeling to it.
That's why I thought it wouldn't stay on the lips so much. But I was   w r o n g
Afterwards, I realised that it leaves behind an actual tint but I gather it would disappear after you eat.
Nevertheless, it was nice to know that it has a bit of a staining ability.

I chose the colour because I wanted something that would look very natural
and I'm happy that it did just that. If you have naturally pinkish or reddish lip (lucky you),
this would be just a lip balm for you.

Lip Swatch. My bare lips is actualy paler.
That’s just the lighting tricking me. 😒

There is not much of a fragrance or if there is, it is very faint.

Moving on,
Next is the blusher.

The first thing I noticed, is the fragrance! Smells like soap, really, I kid you not.
If you don't like it, it would be best to stay away. I don't mind it but I know some people
would not like it. It's quite strong yea compared to the lipstick.

I used my fingers to take the product and there were some actual whitish material formed on the blusher, which I assumed is the material that gives you the glow effect.

Applying on the face is pretty easy and the end result is not bad. It gives you a nice healthy glow indeed. You can also use it as a cream highlighter. I used my fingers but you can also use a brush if you like.

I think I applied almost 3 layers.
Look at that glowww
What is highlighter

Pigmentation is not really strong so you need to apply it a few times. But too much might result in tackiness or slimyness (lol) on you face.

The staying power is not very long and easily rubbed off so you can carry this in your purse if you want to touch up. It's quite small so it won't take that much space.

If you want a more pigmented colour, you're welcome to try the other colours but I'm pretty sure there won't be much of a difference.

Swatch
Because we needs.

Full face of both.
Looks earthy.
Mother nature

I got mine through the shopee official store
Both was RM47.60.
They also have some cute watermelon masks. Yes...I like ^-^ I also took it. muahaha
I like it so much that I used it as my background for the pics. Hahaha
They smell great but they don’t have any watermelon motifs on the actual mask which I had hoped.

That's all from me.
I hope you guys enjoyed this review and see you later. ^^

[Review] MAC Versicolour Varnish Cream Lip Stain in 103 Like Candy

Hi lovelies,

I’m back with another review. I hope I can schedule a few during these RMO.

I find that it’s quite hard to find reviews on some of Mac lip cream or lip stains. Is it just me?
That is why I’m determined to write my review for some of my mac products that are not really reviewed.

I had another post for this ——-> https://diyanamusa.blogspot.com/2019/11/review-mac-versicolour-stain-in-always.html . I did mentioned that this was coming in the mail hehe

I’m not really sure what’s the differences between the stain and the cream stain but if you go by the name, it would be that this one is more creamier or thicker in consistency.
It is slightly more thick I think and it feels like a thick lip gloss.

Swatch

Pigmentation is really strong and opaque. You don’t need to apply many many times to cover you lips. The product does not feel tacky as well. I was deliberating whether to choose this or 104 Stuck In Love but went for this. Hopefully I can find 104 for cheap somewhere. ^-^*

As per the name, it adheres well to the lips and does not get wiped off easily. There will be a stain left on your lips after you eat. That’s a plus!

If you’re lazy to keep on applying your lip product then this is the product for you.
Price is RM104 in store and on the website.
They usually come with free shipping.
So, go on and try it if you can. You will not be disappointed.

Till next time
Cheers

[Review] Etude House Melting Chocolat Lip Scrub (Mint Chocolate)

Hi lovelies,

I’m here to review for youse, the lip scrub from Etude House. Bought this a few months back and tried it a few times.

The product comes in a small glass jar.

The product looks like mint chocolate gelato.
Smells like one too.
Definitely do not taste like one though. Haha

Based on the instructions, you apply it on your bare lips. Wait 30 seconds,
Rub it carefully for 30 seconds (not to harsh yea, you might skin your lips).
After that, you may wash it off or use a damp cloth to wipe the product off.

The end result is clean, smooth and healthy lips.

That’s basically it though haha
The product is simple and it does it’s job.
Till next time,

Cheers

[Review] Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream

Hi lovelies,

This post will be on one of the most coveted bb cream in the market nowadays. It is theeeeee
Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream! (Quite a mouthful)

Credit: Klairs cosmetics website

I bought this bb cream a few months back and I'm rayday to review~ 추

Packaging

Simple. Handy. Hygenic.  Shh
A normal tube cream container with a tip so you don't actually push too much product.

Handy. Very easy to carry around if you like to touch up often or to bring for a trip.

Hygenic. You won't get in contact with the actual product so it's good :) no germs yayy

Coverage

Decent. It's a bb cream so there won't be any of that high coverage but good if you just want something to make your look less dull or as a base if you want to do heavy makeup but don't want to use too much foundation.

You can layer it if you want. I found that the parts where I added an extra layer stayed on longer than parts where I didn't add.

Usually for bb creams I tend to use my fingers because that way I'll get more coverage. For me lah. Using a beauty sponge and brush is good as well but sometimes the end result don't look as good as using fingers. Brushes usually ends up in streaks so I will need to blend it again with a sponge.

A good thing about this bb cream is it has no greyish tone to it which some bb creams have. Some looks good with it and some don't, I'm definitely, absolutely the latter so that's why I pray that bb creams I bought don't have any grey tones.

Cons tho. They only have one shade and you still need to mix it with other bb creams or foundation to get the colour you want.

It didn’t whiten my face yea, that’s just lighting

Performance

You might want to consider using primer when using this bb cream because it will not last very long, maximum 1/2 hours I think, depending on your activity. It is a good cream if you just want to go out and run a few errands but you don’t want to go out bare-faced.

Overall

A good bb cream if you're in a rush or you just want to pop outside for a bit and you want to look super fresh.
So this is the product for you!

Price

Retails for about RM130 but I got it for RM80++ at Aeon. 


That's all from me right now ^^
Thanks for reading. XX

[Review] Oh My Tint in No.8

Hi, lovelies

Today after so long I have returned with a review ♥︎♥︎ (This has been in my drafts for so long)

Picture credit: ebay.com

Oh My Tint (omt) is actually a Thailand based makeup product. I’m waiting for my lip balms from Marryrose to arrive so I’ll review those as well yeah....(hopefully) asfasfasf
The shade I got was No. 8 which was Ruby if I’m not mistaken.
They currently have 14 shades and they’re all so beautifulllll

The only picture I had using it at the moment

The texture is very smooth and the application is very easy. The colour is already very opaque with one application so a little goes a long way.
As for longevity, very good. It is very long wearing and even if it fades, you won’t be left with a weird tint. Just natural berry looking stained lips. That’s one of the reason I love it so much.

I don’t really have much to say about this product, just that it’s good and if you guys get any chance to try. Please do ^^ I’m waiting to see if anyone’s gonna bring the other shade ranges here so I can get my hands on them. They’re relatively inexpensive but the price depends on your agents and they’re actually quite small in size.

I hope you guys enjoy this short review, see you next time xx

[Review] Supermom Thailand Magic Story Tint in WT03 and WT06

Hi guys,

First of all this brand has been huge on Instagram. Their lip products are their best products and their crayon lipstick has been really popular. Recently they’ve released a special tint for the holidays called the Magic Story Tint which one of the sellers said was a dupe for the Dior Tattoo Lip Tint. Fortunately, I do have one of the Dior ones when I bought it second hand for cheap a few months ago. I got mine in Natural Berry which is actually quite purple if you put too much and can make you look very deathly instead. Hahahahah

So let’s get on with it

Packaging of the tints are all plastics and they’re actually quite light to carry. The colour is really nice and looks pretty. Applicator is a doe foot applicator and they’re quite small which I find quite nice. The size is almost identical to the Dior one.

WT03
The colour is like mauve-y pink which I took for a natural everyday shade. I don’t know this one a dupe for which Dior lip tint colour.

WT06
This one is a dupe for Sierra I suppose since the colour is like a coppery red. I love it because it looks very natural and the red is not too much.

Top: WT03
Bottom: WT06

After I (try) wiped them off after a few minutes. Look at that

The texture of these are watery and I think this is why they stain very and R e a l l y.....the stain on these..........on my hand..........is gooood. They may as well can last forever.
Howwwwever, on the lips, yes they stain but they will disappear a bit after you eat a bit but there will be some leftover stain. Reapplication is very easy and it doesn’t look patchy.

The ingredients are almost similar for both. There’s titanium dioxide in WT03 and a lot of colouring agents for WT06.

Anyway my takeout for these are, they’re really nice and very light on the lips. They look so natural and they last for a good amount of time. To compare them with the Dior one, I think personally they’re quite similar. Dior might be a bit thicker in texture but not sure.
Fragrance-wise, Dior has the smell of mint and the water tint has a very very very subtle minty fragrance as well.

The price is RM35 which is almost similar to other high street brand products. I got mine through a personal shopper program but you can get yours online as well.

You can follow them on their socmed here.

That’s all for my review, I hope you guys like it. Sorry for no lip swatch, I have some hormonal acne situation at the moment and I feel tired of it. Hahah

See you guys next time,
Cheers XX

[Review] Etude House Colorful Tattoo tint in PK001 Insider Dance

Hi Lovelies,

I’m back with another review of yet another Etude House product. Is it that obvious that I like them so much. It was so sad when they closed up the old to open a new one last time. I think it was only a year plus after that they reopened with their new boutique concept and I was so happy.

Anyways, back with the review. This was another line of liquid lip product they released in 2019. They have come out with another glossy one but I haven’t gone and look at them yet.

I love the sleek black design. They released 10 colours and Insider Dance is more of a cool muted red but on me, sometimes it looks a bit pinkish but sometimes it looks reddish. Lol...decide pliz

All of them looked very nice and it was hard to choose a favourite to try. I would probably gonna go for a lighter brownish or a nudeish colour next. See my mood..😅

The tip supposedly allows you to coat your lips to purrfection but I never do full lips so I have no idea.. but I know you can lather a lot of products on. So apply light-handedly yea 🖤

Swatches

Sorry you need to see dry lips. I also applied some light pink shadow around my lips

It’s pink here right...

But the colour is kinda red. Lewl

There you see the swatches. The colour on my lips is totally different from the tube but I after a while, I went and looked again in, it looked somewhat reddish 🤷🏻‍♀️
Longevity-wise, it stays for a a good amount of time even after a meal. I didn’t need to apply some more because of the leftover stain. So good....
Price is RM44 but get it during promotions, and you can get it at RM30+ heheehehe
I’ll probably go and have a see at their glossy ones or at the other colours 😏

Till then, see you guys next time.
Cheers, xx
