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.

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?

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.

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 ...

NAIL PARAPHERNALIA: New Things to Try

This might come as a shock but I am a former nail biter. It is pretty ironic that this girl who loves to blog about nails is a former nail biter. Funny right?  Basically, I just realized that the cause of my disgusting habit is my addiction to my nails. So, instead of pricking on my nails, why not turn it into something positive and make my nails pretty instead? So, as I dove into colorful world of nail arts, and since I've just started to become a nail blogger, I am also slowly opening myself up to some manicure paraphernalia.  Nail Stickers, I like it subtle and classy 1. Nail Stickers. I am not a fan of nail stickers. I bought this one because I just want to try it out and if maybe I will like it. This one stood out because it looks subtle and I felt it would look great on top of a white nail polish. I actually tried it once and I must say it is okay but I am still not so obsessed with it.  --- Flocking Powder, husband of glitters, acco...

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...

Review: Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in Honey Nectar

Hello, marvellous! I'm back with another review and today I am showing you the best pink lipstick I ever had so far. As I recall, my last pink lipstick review was Revlon Stormy pink and it wasn't a good love story. I also remembered buying Nyx Narcissus and it's just plain wrong for my tan skin -  I was screaming Nikki Minaj. But then, after months of wearing either a nude lipstick ( In2it Orange Fizz ) or red lipstick ( CD Rouge Allure ), I am craving for something flashy, girly, and colorful. So, I took on the plunge and went on for my search for the perfect pink shade. A little walk along SM Beauty Section led me to a new found love for pink lipstick. Let me introduce my new baby love,  Maybelline Honey Nectar! This lipstick is Maybelline's Pink Alert collectio and I am really in awe of how pretty this one looks on me. COLOR: Maybelline Honey Nectar is straight up bright pink color that is leaning towards feaushia fuchia feachia fuchsia s...

Pieces of My Month March

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have just realized that the first quarter of 2014 have passed and I am loving my year so far. There are times when I wish I could have done more but I guess it's better to give myself a pat on the back and celebrate my successes rather than being too harsh on myself. Sometimes, I tend to forget I can only do enough. First week of March, I was able to celebrate Fat Tuesday with my church friends. Fat Tuesday, if you have no idea what it is, is  the day before Ash Wednesday--the start of Lenten season.  Since Fat Tuesday is the day before fasting and abstinence, devout Catholics are having a merry gathering of food and laughter before pursuing a month of sacrifice and soul-searching.   Aside from the beginning of Lenten season, March also marks the start of summer. I had an early summer with my friends at Bakas River, Norzagaray, Bulacan. The place is such a marvellous tranquil, perfect for escaping the urban life. . ...

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,  ...
