Review: Pinkies Collections Lipstick in LP-03

Its not a secret that I love pink. So here I go getting a really nice pink lippie again after finishing up my tube of Sophie Martin Summer Pink.

What is it? 
A nude pink lipstick which brightens up look. I like how natural looking it is when swiped.

Packaging 
This lipstick has a black plastic tube shaped like a big bullet with their fancy name printed in pink! I am glad to say that the name didn't fade even after months of being with me. I can call that success. *wink wink*

Experience
What I really like about Pinkies Collections lipstick is that its pigmented and its really easy to apply. Its creamy and it glides smoothly on moisturized lips. But hey sometimes I also use this without balm underneath and it works as fine. Thanks for its moisturizing properties, it has semi-matte finish without feeling heavy. I'm impressed.

Bad news is that its not transfer proof. But its okay because this lippie has no scent or whatsoever and I don't mind reapplication.
I remember lugging this during one hot day and guess what it did not melt. Just make sure it is not directly expose to sunlight, do not purposely melt if girls. Haha. XD

How much and where to buy? 
I got this from Watsons and its affordable compared to other brands. Only P149.95 per tube!

What I love 
  • Smooth easy application
  • Brightens up look
  • Creamy and moisturizing

  • Perfect candy pink
  • Can be removed easily
  • Did not melt during the hot summer season unlike my F21 lippie!

What I don't 
  • Does not stay long; around 2-3 hours without eating or drinking
TIPS
Try out using liptint on the middle of your lips for an added 'doll' effect.
I use this for a natural makeup look. Never look too made up ever again.

Will I repurchase?
Maybe yes if I find this beauty brand again! I don't see Pinkies collection as much and I don't know if they are still selling this? :(

Overall~
I love Pinkies Collections Lipstick and I hope to get another tube to replenish my happy pink makeup kit. <3

Review: ELF Studio Line Pink Passion Blush

Lately I have been carried away with too much rosy cheeks I have seen in the no make-up look tutorials in youtube. You know how fascinated I am with this as its the usual look used in korean dramas and by my favorite kpop idols!

Basically I was looking for a baby pink blush or anything similar, I looked for one and I found out that MAC well-dressed and MAC pink swoon are perfect candidates!

Sadly, being a cheap skate and bargain hunter that I am, I knew right off the bat that I can't afford to spend too much money for a blush.

Here comes the blush who saves the day...

ELF studio blush in Pink Passion!

"e.l.f. Studio Blush The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!" -ELF
My take on ELF Pink Passion

I will describe the color the best that I can, its a bright bubble gum pink blush on the pan but when swatch it'll turn into a healthy baby pink (provided that you have a light hand on doing it). Its a shade of pink with blue undertone. The blush is matte (totally different from the rest of the shades which all have shimmers!)

There are various description about this blush but for me Pink Passion is simply the perfect pink needed to look like Snow White. Hehe :) It reminds me of the effect of my Sophie Martin Magic Cream Blush, the only difference is this is in powder form.

The Look:

I appreciate that it has a mirror, even though its small, you'll never know when you will need it. Emergency touch ups maybe? Whole pan is full of blush, yes no trashy brush this time (can you relate? I don't think small brushes can be use for applying blush anyway).

       PROS

  • The perfect pink (light hand for pale pink cheeks!)
  • Pigmented but not dramatic
  • Its matte! -no shimmers allowed for girls like me with large pores and combination skin
  • Good amount of product 4.75g or 168 oz

             CONS

  • Quite chalky --for the price I can't complain!
  • Doesn't last long --But this can be easily solved by adding a base for the blush
  • Shade not locally available --I bought mine in ebay for Php225, this is $3 in their official site.
  • ELF label on my blush packaging is almost gone. --Its a con but not really ELF's fault because I admit that I am pretty careless myself!

I can't recommend this blush enough, it serves its purpose after all. I prefer to use this with my Ellana mini buki brush because I love concentrating the color on my cheeks just like what a doll looks like. If I feel like I have over done the color I use my ELF stippling brush (review coming up soon!) Right now I don't mind having ELF Pink Passion instead of Mac Pink Swoon.

Will I repurchase?

Most definitely! This blush is totally worth the money.

How about you sisses? Do you like ELF too? What is your current favorite blush?
