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. 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...

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 ...

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,  ...

You Can't Eat Beauty

"My mother used to say to me, "You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you." And these words played and bothered me, I didn’t really understand them until finally I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be. And what my mother meant by saying that "you can’t eat beauty" was that you can’t rely on beauty to sustain you.  What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty enflames the heart and enchants the soul."

Kulot Not Salot: My Curly Hair Routine

I'm still surprised when friends won't believe when I tell them my hair is naturally curly and that I never had a digi perm or any curling method done. People have been seeing me with rebonded straight hair for the past 12 years, (I thought it was only 10) and they have kind of believed my hair is naturally straight. And frankly, I, too, have forgotten how I looked like with curly hair. I have to rummage a box of old photos to help me remember how my curls looked like a decade ago and why do I even have it straightened. Was it that bad? After almost an hour of looking for old photos of my natural curls- this I realized to my chagrin - I rarely wore my curly hair down when I was a teenager. That was basically the reason why I had my hair rebonded. I did not know what to do with my curls. I did not know how to maximize my curls, its beauty, how to style it, how to play with it. And also- hair entails personality. You see, living in this country,...

BDJ FAIR 2015

This is my third time to go to this yearly event hosted by BDJ. First time, I went with a friend (Well, hello Ghem!). The next one, boyfie was with me. This time, I decided to just go by myself . I tried to maximize the event so I spent the whole afternoon going from one booth to another. I also pre-registered to two talks/seminars to get an insight or two. If you haven't heard of them yet, BDJ is a community of empowered bellas. Actually, it all started with a kikay planner- The Belle de jour Power planner. Then a community was formed involving mostly users of planners and  kikay girls alike. As for me, I've been a BDJ planner user for five years. I go to the event (if time allows me to) because this is where I can buy the new and upcoming planner in a much lower price compared to its selling price. I bought my new planner for only 500 pesos as opposed to its original selling price of 580. Also, the event is actually pretty cool. You can go around, win some fu...
