Inspired by JLO's Nude Lips: In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz

I have always been on the hunt for a nice nude lipstick that can beautifully mute my pigmented lips. The desire to rummage around for the best neutral lipstick started when I would always see myself being drawn to wearing dark hues of eyeshadows, only to find out I have no nude lipstick to pair it with. I would always end up wearing light pink lipstick which I think is just fine but I wish I could have a neutral colored lipstick so the eyeshadows can pop rather than making the lipstick clash to the eye make-up. Should I say my hunt is always a fail. Sometimes, it’s too pale, too light, a lot of browns, lots of pinks, always a fail. What I really want to have is the kind of lipstick that will definitely erase my lips but won’t make me appear sickly. Arrrgh! Women are such confused beings!
Anyways, this is how nude I want my lipstick to be…

Girl crushing is on!

I always wonder how JLO rock the nude up until I saw I video of youtuber Jenn Im where the girl uses not brown or light brown colored nude. She used a PEACH lipgloss. Wow. That was a surprise. I realized I’ve been doing it all wrong because most of my so-called nudes have pink undertone or brown. I realized that the best color that can mute pigmented asian lips should have orange undertone, more of in the family of peach. So, the search began for a nice peach lipstick that I can translate into my favorite nude lipstick. 

Up until one day, JLO…and behold… I found a peach lipstick. Yeah! A muted orange type of lipstick that can live par to JLo’s rocking nude lips… Here it is, my new found baby: In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz

In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz

 To give you a detailed review of In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz, here it is:

-     Application is a bit tricky especially if your lips are darker than this color. I realized that the problem is not on the lipstick itself but more on the clash of my natural lip color and the shade of this particular in2it lipstick. The key is to find a good lip brush to blend it well on your lips.

-    If you put the right amount of In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz, this lipstick turns into a lovely hint of peachy-tint. However, if you put too much product, it clumps unto the lips that it can get a little drying and sticky. Putting too much will cause the lipstick to slide off your lips but putting just enough will give a divine peach hue on your lips. This is the reason why most girls think this is a drying lipstick when in fact the key is to just use one swipe and you are good to go.

-   In2it lipsticks cost P375.75 per stash here in the Philippines. It is inexpensive compared to high end brands that can cost around P1000+ but it’s definitely more expensive than local drugstore brands. The price is comparable to Maybelline lipsticks. You can find in2it lipsticks in Watsons, SM Beauty Department, and some Cinderella branches.

-    This color can work well with a dark smokey strong eye make-up but if you are wearing very light to no make up make up, this color can make you look pale. If you want to take a break from dark lipsticks, this can be a breath of fresh air but if you want a hint of color on your lips, this may not be a good choice.

-    I’m obsessed with the classy packaging of this lipstick. I can compare it with the packaging of high end lipsticks that I have like Christian Dior and Chanel. The silver casing is very sturdy and comes with little diamond-like studs and classy art-border. Elegant, definitely.

To give you an idea, here's a photo of yours truly wearing my In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz. Excuse the uber selfie shot.

In2it Moisture Intense Lipstick in Orange Fizz on my lips.See how beautifully it erases all the colors of my lips.


To summarize:
Color: Lovely and Unique
Formula: Ey Okay, not great but definitely just fine
Staying Power: Longevity is not that amazing because it kind of faded after an hour
Packaging: Lovely, very lovely, classy and elegant
Price: Sold at P375.75 not expensive, not cheap either

All in all, this is a nice neutral color to be in your stash because you can tone it down or even build it up with another lipstick or lip gloss.  As for me, I am happy I got this unique nude lipstick but I might as well say I am still on the look out for a better one.
How about you? What is your nude lipstick scene?

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through-  so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

Inspired by Mona Lisa Smile: Christian Dior Rouge Dolce Vita 014

Once a gay friend told me, "Red lipstick is so back then." I immediately replied back and told him a true lady would say otherwise. For a real woman, red lipstick is a timeless weapon to look and feel beautiful. My first lipstick is a red one and up until now, even if I have other shades of lipsticks, red will always be on my stash. So, today, I thought of highlighting the most precious red lipstick I own, my precious baby,  Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014. Timeless as it is, the inspiration for today's lipstick is the movie The Mona Lisa Smile which is set in 1950's. Just like the girls in the movie,  Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014 is not in-your-face retro red lipstick because it has a slight hint of orange. Source "That's a snapshot"- Mona Lisa Smile It has a semi-matte finish but very creamy, it glides smoothly on the lips when applied. This is not for the faint heart because it is too striking and...

TURNING PAGES: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

When I was in kindergarten, I had a hard time understanding Math specifically the lesson in  “greater than- less than-equal to” equations. My mother, being a teacher, helped me understand the lesson by using analogy . In a manner of storytelling, she told me that the sign corresponding greater than/less than/equal to is  Pacman  (the famous computer game back then), while the numbers in the equation represent the amount of apples . She told me I have to point Pacman’s mouth to the larger amount so he can eat more apples. I never failed at greater than/less than/equal to lesson ever again. SOURCE: h ttp://prekandksharing.blogspot.com/2012/08/montessori-inspired-greater-than-less.html Outliers  by Malcolm Gladwell is a lot like my mom’s way of teaching me Math. It is composed of analogies and stories that helped me understand the wisdom behind success. It will not tell you what to do, it will ask you to analyze the roots of success and w...

Review: In2it Waterproof Single Blush in Charm

This post is dedicated to my boyfriend's sister who loves to rave about in2it products. She loves the brand so much she's literally into it. (Can I get an A for that intro?) Anyways, one of the things I noticed about her is the beautiful shine she has on her cheeks - not greasy type of shine - but a lovely flash of highlight. So, I thought of trying out in2it's blush for the first time. When I went there, most of their blushes were sold out. The sales assistant said their blushes are their best sellers- no doubt about it. So, I asked her what shade can she recommend for my skin tone and she confidently suggested the shade "Charm." I tried out some of their blushes, pink ones in general, but Charm really stood out for me. The sales assistant was right, Charm definitely suites me better. In2it Waterproof Single Blush in Charm is a peach blush with gold shimmers. I, for one, am afraid of shimmers because my face tends to become very oily and to add more shi...

Wedding Bliss: The Importance of Wedding Coordinator (Quintessence Philippines)

I am quite surprised that even after being married for almost a year now, I still get a ton of queries regarding wedding details and such. One common question I get is this: "Do I really need a wedding day coordinator?". My answer is always, always this big YES. Well, based on my experience, you can get away without an over-all full wedding coordinator because you can do the planning alone. However- and very important, I must say, that you get an on-the-day-coordinator . And please do get a legit one, not your friends or family, but a professional wedding coor. (Your friends want to enjoy the moment, too, so please don't give them yet another job to do. They can assist you in little things, but please leave everything to a legit coor.) Some reasons why I think a professional on-the-day wedding coordinator is a must: 1. Stress-free wedding.  The least I wanted to be during my wedding is to be the stressed-bride. I have been to weddings without coordinators and I tell...

Jazzy Collections Eyebrow Gel

I was doing a little stroll along beauty section when the sales assistant asked me, "Ma'am, ano pong nilagay niyo sa kilay nio, ang ganda kasi e, sanay na sanay kayo magkilay..." "Maam, what product did you use on your eyebrows? You are really good on doing your brows!"  Truth is, I wasn't always this good with brows. I had my fair share of uneven brows, messy brows, overplucked, bushy, wrong shape, wrong curves. But by having those mistakes, I learned how to perfect my brows, I learned by doing, which I think is one of the most important thing when it comes to make-up. You learn every single time you do it. I still do mistakes from time to time, and I am still improving every single day, but I guess that's just the beauty of make-up. Sometimes, you've created a masterpiece, sometimes, you've created a trash... in that way, you enhance your skills. Okay,did I just became very sentimental about eyebrows? Yes, I did. Anyways,  ...
