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 shade. I love that this certain shade doesn't make me look too mature or tanner. The shade is what I like best with this lipstick because it is not shocking, not too light, not too barbie-ish, not too purple-ish. It has the right amount of pink tone that compliments my Filipina skin tone.

PIGMENTATION:
It takes three to four glides before you could actually get the right opacity. Though this maybe a downside, I think it has the right pigmentation as to prevent the bleeding of the lipstick unto the sides of the lips. Also, this has a biy of stickiness when applied so it kind of cling to the lips when applied. Anyhoo, it isnt a big deal because it still has a bit of smoothness so its not a harsh application after all.

LONGEVITY:
Amazing longevity, hands down. Clap clap clap with standing ovation, heart heart heart tururu.
Okay. Pardon the over-reaction but I am really shocked that this lasts on me for more than four hours. I am the worst when it comes to lipsticl because I kind of lick my lips quite a lot and I end up eating all the lipstick I applied. But this lipstick stays on pretty long on my lips.
When first applied, it has this beautiful gloss that creates a sweet pink loo. Then, as the day goes by, it fades into a beautiful matte pink. At the end of the day, it leaves a natural pink tint on the lips. Ain't that amazing? I havent had any Maybelline lipstick like this. The transformation from glossy to matte to tint is just marvelous much.

The swatch below stays on me until the next day. Magic, right?

(I still need to work on doing a swatch of a product, Im not really good at it, sorrry... )

Given that this is really long-lasting, you might need a make-up remover to get rid of the product. As for me, I just let it fade and that's it.

Here's a pre-requisite selfie of mine wearing Maybelline Honey Nectar.

That's it for now, ladies.
Till my next review.Vavavabush!!!

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product. 1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...

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,...

Treats for My Skin Courtesy of Gluta

This is a long and overdue post about the free facial and diamond peel given by the lovely people of Gluta. I am not the one to get facials because I am not comfortable getting under someone else's hands. (This is the reason why I keep on coming back to the same hairstylist). But this is free so might as well try it. (Who doesn't want free stuff anyway?) The event happened last month at Gluta booth, Robinsons Manila. This is part of the launch of their Gluta White and Firm line, which according to the lady, the first product line that was able to produce all whitening products in just one launch (facial wash, lotion, soap, moisturizer, etc.) Gluta Advance White and Firm Products Now back to the facial, they first remove my makeup with a cleanser, then they further cleaned my whole face with another cleanser. Then, they also used a vacuum to further remove deep-seated dirt from my face. That vacuum felt like some kid was giving me little kisses. It did not hur...

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 ...
