NYX butter gloss: Cherry Pie, Raspberry Tart, Tiramisu

All I wanna do is find my way back into love... My love for lip glosses came back when I tried these babies! Admit it, high school is mostly our lip gloss phase or if you started early, then elementary. Agree?

Chit-chat. You can totally skip this ►► I wanted to step out of my nudes and pink and explore more on the reds and plums. I thought lip glosses will help me with it since they're not that "in your face" when it comes to darker shades as compared to a lipstick. Well, that's what I thought with these until I tried them myself. There are tons of brands who are offering lip glosses that are really pigmented, may it be drugstore or high end. People just have to explore and find what's best suited for them.◄◄Chit-chat. You can totally skip this 

These NYX butter glosses comes in a lot of shades that I want to have them all! I'm eyeing on you, peaches and cream, peach cobbles, sugar cookie and cupcake...ok all of them. -__- I am actually waiting for my devil's food cake to arrive in a few weeks now. *wink*

Makeup of the night (Acquaintance Party)

Woah! It's been 10924728957 years since my last post. Sorry for being MIA. Med school is asdklfjasldjf. I am happy yet stressed due to all the books that I have to read and exams are happening almost everyday! Luckily, we got to breathe during our acquaintance party. Horahh!

MAC Angel Review, Pictures, Lip Swatch

Time off from the bright colors from my previous post, here's one for an all year round look! Every time I go to MAC's counter, I am always drawn to colors that are bright, or dark, nothing for everyday wear. I think the bright ones, which are very plenty, covers up the nude ones. With this color I have, the reason is because of...Kim K. Nothing more! Hahahaha What a capital A falling for that, I know! But someone has got to have this shade because...Kim K! I adored MAC bombshell but passed because I am blinded by the reviews and hype of this MAC's Angel.

MAC Morange Review, Pictures and Lip Swatch

 Need I say more? More-orange please!

This is my second orange lipstick to date. My first one is from Etude House which I haven't talked about it here on the blog. What a bummer! Bought it during my last year in College, when I was super busy! Good thing it was all over! But I will be saying hi to school again weeks later from this post! (I love schooling! hahaha)

MAC Impassioned Review, Pictures, and Lip Swatch

The anxiety level of buying makeup online is just crazy! I got this from @cebumakeuponline (instagram) and have no one to ask about if she's a seller of authentic makeup. But scrolling down to her feed, I've seen "testimonies" from buyers and they are pretty reliable. Is reliable the word that I'm looking for? Hahahaha Anyhoo, she doesn't over stock so this means there's a slight chance that she's selling fake ones. The rest of the story? Down below!

MAC Viva Glam Rihanna

The first thing that made me purchase this is because of the packaging. Second, because RIHANNA. Who doesn't love her voice? And because sometimes, dressing down doesn't mean you don't have to have a red lippie on. It makes everything look polished!

Review: Ever Bilena Lip Pencil in Cappucino, Burgundy, and Orange (Lip swatches)

Heads up! This is a super ultra mega backlog! -__- This is so last two months. -__- Didn't get to swatch it on the lips not until today. Shocks! Ohwellllll.

Review: MAC lipstick in Chatterbox | Hunt for the perfect pink lipstick

The search is on for the perfect pink lips! Audition starts at...wait, Hahahaha College days, I thought pink lips will wash me out and it's a bit for me. For four years, I've been sporting nude lips! I've been meaning to try pink lipsticks since I saw a blog post from all of the bloggers and videos of Vloggers featuring their COLLECTION of pink lipsticks! It proved me wrong about my thoughts of the pink lipsticks are only for the fair skin.

Makeup Related Birthday Gift!

I turned 2NE1 (twenty-one) yesterday! The mother got me something and guess what? (unless, you scrolled down so yeah, you knew it) T-W-O MAC lipsticks! 'cause I am a grown woman like that. Hahaha no. But I've come to a legal age! Who wants to go with me to a strip club? (I know Barney of HIMYM wants to)

Check me up next week or maybe this week for reviews of these lovelies!

Review: Lip Ice lip balms

I got this during the Christmas season 2012 at SM MOA and it was three lip balms for, uhh, I totally forgot. But it's regular price is P89.00/lip balm. This has been in the market a long time now and I'm assuming some of you have tried this already. I just have to share this with you since this is my ultimate favorite lip balm since I was in my 2nd year in college---2011. Going back, I got this for a good price or was this just an impulse buy? I really forgot but three products(yes, three. I am currently using the third one so it's not in the picture) in one bundle is a great buy.

ELF Lip Stain

I've been eyeing for this lip stain for quite awhile. I actually prefer lip stains over lipsticks even though I have dry, chapped lips. Lip stains give a "natural" color on lips and they can last longer than some lipsticks and they are dual purpose too, they can be used for the cheeks.

Etude House Dear Darling Tint

Price: P298.00

Place bought: Etude House Boutique (SM City Cebu)

Product content: Not stated

Shade: 02

Look at my lips

Another Etude House product to review! YAY!
This product is from their "Look at my" line. I adore this line for so many reasons. The quality is just superb.
Who can resist its pretty packaging? If there's an award for packaging, they should win! The packaging is plastic on the outside, it encases the metal looking one that's on the inside. For the price, P328.00 for a very good quality lipstick.

Etude House Orgel Light Lipstick

 Look at the box! It's pure love! :) I have this for months now and yes, I kept the box. Heee. :D It's just so princess-y to throw away! Product packaging is superb. The details, the color and durability? I'll give it a perfect rating! :)

Anyhoo, this product retails for P428.00.

Etude House Nymph Aura Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss

 

It's been awhile! I know! :\ 

Anyhoo, this gloss is from their Nyph Aura line. This retails at P278.00. (Thanks to their website for reminding me.)

Etude House Dear Darling Tint

Cover Girl's lipstick in 035 smokey rose

This was actually a gift that I got on my 18th birthday. I was never a fan of pink lipsticks but what my friend knows is that I’m a lipstick addict. (so maybe she doesn’t care about the color HAHAHA)So I tried this, I assumed that the color won’t fit me but I was wrong, just yesterday and was surprised.

 See that clear cap? It's pretty useless after opening it from the packaging. The lipstick was put in like ELF's packaging so they used that clear cap to show the color.

 SWATCH: under fluorescent lighting and outdoor lighting, respectively.

No concealer or lip balm under it. If I would have to describe the color, it's a frosty pink. You don't have to put a lip gloss anymore. Otherwise, if you want your lips to be really really glossy then you may dab a little gloss. This color makes lips look full, well I'm blessed with full lips but this makes it much fuller! I believe this color would fit to many other skin tones.
I can't give any details about where to purchase and how much the product is since it's a given to me as a gift. Google is my friend and he would be glad to help you.
