Review: Herbench Pretty when Pinched Cheek and Lip Tint

Long ago, in a faraway place, there lived a lovely princess named Snow White. Her hair was black as coal, her lips red as rose, and her skin as white as snow.
We all know how beautiful Snow White is and I admit I once dream of becoming like her. Now it's not so impossible after we get a pinch of color on our cheeks! Rosy cheeks + rosy lips = Snow White look, yes? :)

Herbench Pretty when Pinched Cheek and Lip Tint is already a famous lip tint to start with. I bought one on a whim because I love the product swatch.


I can't capture a shot of my own tint now because it doesn't look presentable anymore
As you can see the product is inside a glass bucket nail polish type packaging. It is delicate and can break easily so you need to be extra careful if you have this inside your kikay kit. Sadly because of my own carelessness I broke mine and I lost half of the product amount *sad*. I can only use it now before I go out because it will surely make a mess inside my kit if I attempt to bring it along with me.

My Experience:

Herbench tint is scary purplish red inside the glass bucket but when swatched the color is soft reddish pink and oh-so buildable. It is oil free and and a water type of tint but not so runny. It doesn't clog my pores when used as a cheek tint and it doesn't dry out my lips when I use it as a lip tint. You don't need to hurry when applying this because it doesn't dry fast but you still need to become careful to blend it well to avoid red streaks which is common for tints. Herbench Pretty when Pinched tint doesn't last long both on cheeks and lips but the color is lovely and I don't mind reapplication!

How I use it: I use this on top of my bb cream usually as lip and cheek tint, perfect for natural make-up look.
How much: P180/ 40 ml in Bench stores nationwide

What I love:
It's an affordable and accessible product.
A little goes a long way.
Has no weird taste nor smell

What I don't:
It doesn't last long especially on the lips.
Package is made of glass :(


Will I buy again?
YES! I totally love this tint despite the fact that it doesn't last long. Herbench tint's color and no fuss application wins me over. This is an affordable tint that delivers! :)

Ayo sisses, can you shout out your favorite lip and cheek tint below?

Review: Easy Lipstick Quickly Change Lipstick

Lip sticks, glosses, balms...how many of each do you have right now? Being a girl, I know that a lot of us are suckers in giving color to our lips. Why not right? Only a few are given with real pink lips but it lip colors are here to save the rest of the flock like us.

Since high school I was only able to try lipstick once or twice. Even when I took a hold of my own money I really did not bother to buy even simple Careline lippies. Its not that I'm not kikay(girly) but I find it quite troublesome to need to retouch every now and then. Petroleum jelly for the lips and J&J baby powder for the face.

Now that I'm already college the story became different, I became more adventurous and became so addicted to glosses as well. I noticed a slight change in my natural lip color it kinda became dull so I tried to find a solution for it.

I googled lots of stuffs and I landed in an advertisement for Easy Lipstick Quickly Change.The long name clearly gives a hint that its an asian brand but to my surprise the box says that its made from US.

Here is the photo of Quickly change lipstick inside its box:



The lipstick when used is like a magic lipstick which is a common cosmetic for teenies before. Ad says that lips will turn into natural pink after a sec or so but it actually apply the color right when you swipe it to your lips.

Okay so what are the pros and cons?

PROS

  • I like the pink color this lippie gives to my lips.
  • Mom says it is drying but it really is not, her lips is just really dry.
  • Last long even if the content is not much.

CONS

  • Not sure if it is really from USA. I have seen this being sold in a Chinese drug store in Manila.
  • Packaging looks cheap.
  • I have not seen super pinkie lips like promised, but I don't care. Bleh~

Where to buy?
Online. Try searching in sulit or browse chinese drug stores for this certain lipstick treatment.

How much?
Around Php120 if I'm not mistaken. Worth the price, I'm still using it until now, its been 3 months already since I bought the item.

Will I buy again?
Hmm..maybe. But not any time soon. I would like to try other trusted brands for now. This Quickly Change lipstick has been a staple lippie for me for a while though. Safe color for my lips, not bright pink, not dull. Give it a try if you can.

By the way what other brands of lip sticks have you tried girls? Any recommendations of shades that you certainly love? I wanna hear from you!

Love lots, thanks for reading!
