Kose Lip Gel Magic - Review

I was supposed to write something about medicine-related post, but words couldn't seem to flow and I can't get my thoughts into words for some reason.

I've been conflicted lately, worrying about something again, then I realised, that I didn't do something wrong, it was an achievement, it was something positive and if a negative thing will stem out of it, it's beyond my control already. Then maybe it wasn't supposed to be in the first place.  As my consultant advised me, "Develop a strong piece of mind and always stay on the right side."

Anyways, let's get on with this...

Packaging	Comes in a small plastic white tube with silver chrome twistable cap.

Chateau Labiotte Wine Tint - First Impressions Review

I'm not posting as much as I have to... I'm kind of sick lately, just some cough and colds.  I'm kind of fascinated of the idea of minimalism lately, contemplating if I'll try it or not.  I'm a shopaholic and a semi-hoarder so I'm thinking if I could transition to that movement.

Anyways let's get back to the topic... I reviewed CR01 shade for this line, when I bought this I thought I was getting out of my comfort zone a little, since I don't usually wear lip product that's on the red shade and a hint of purple.

Packaging	This has a wine-shaped plastic bottle with a twistable cap.

Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet - Review

I was so happy to see Club Clio to have a physical store in the Philippines already! The moment I saw it while I was walking in Trinoma, I couldn't stop myself that even if I was about to go home I have to check it out first.

I've been eyeing this product for sometime, but some part of me was preventing me from buying this online.... I have many lip products already, that I couldn't consume all of them, I was afraid that it will be like the Peri's original ink very drying on my lips and very difficult to remove, the color might not be ok for everyday use.

Unlike the other people, I actually first tried the Peri's Ink Airy Velvet and my expectations may be different in a little way.

Packaging	This has the similar ink bottle plastic packaging from the Peri's ink line.  This has a 'matte' bottle look.

Happy Skin Disney Princess Moisturizing Lippie (Rapunzel) - Review

I've heard so much good reviews with Happy Skin Moisturizing Lippies, but I didn't have the chance to buy them since I have many lippies yet.

But when the Disney Princess collection came out, I can't resist! Disney has been a part of my childhood and I couldn't stop myself from buying one for myself.

I bought the Rapunzel, since this is the shade which I would likely to use, even though Cinderella was my favorite Disney Princess.

Packaging	It comes in crayon-like purple, plastic packaging.  You can twist it from below to push up and down the product
Smell	Unscented
Consistency	Very buttery. It glides really smoothly
Application	When you apply it on to your lips, it glides really smoothly.  It's really buttery, and you don't need any lip balm prior to application.  Color pay-off is also good. Kiss-proof Test It's not kiss-proof Longevity Test I was actually surprised of how well it lasted.  It lasted for around 6 hrs, even after eating pasta and roasted chicken, there's still a little stain left. Overall the lippie felt REALLY REALLY COMFORTABLE! I don't even need to apply lip balm throughout the day.  It didn't dry my lips, really moisturizing, true to its claim.
Duration of use	1 month
Pros	Moisturizing Decent lasting
Cons	Not kiss-proof Relatively Expensive (Php 599)
Recommend?	Yes
Rating	9/10

Peripera Lip Ink Tint - First Impression Review

I've been looking for a long-lasting lip product.  After trying Philippine brand, US brands and Korean brands... finally! I've found the one that is long-lasting for me.

I'm a busy person, being a resident in a hospital demands lots of work and I don't have time to worry about my makeup.  So something long-lasting is perfect for my lifestyle.

I got my Peripera Lip Ink from Korean Cosmetics PH.  The shade I got was #1 - It Lips.  I was looking for #2 (Get the eye) but during that time, it was out of stock.  Will try to purchase the #2 in the future. It comes with a lip remover as a set.

Packaging:

It comes in a very cute ink bottle! Size is small to fit in your pouch.  It is 8 cm tall, 2 cm diameter, 2 cm width.  It is a little bulky to fit in your pocket, but it's ok to put in your pouch or bag.  The applicator is a doe foot applicator.  It was easy to control when applying to your lip.

Consistency:

It's like a liquid tint with gel consistency.

Pigmentation:

Extremely pigmented! It was neon pink, very bright, too eye-catching =D.

Longevity:

Full Lip:

Ombre Lip

Pros

•   Most long-lasting lip product I've tested.

•   Easy for the ombre look

•   Kiss-proof

•   No waxy feeling

Cons

•   Drying for the lips - need to apply lip balm on top

•   Very Difficult to remove... The lip remover doesn't work well for it.  Ever Bilena make-up remover works well to it though which in a way is good since Ever Bilena is not an expensive make-up remover

Will I purchase again? - Definitely, at different shade

Will I recommend? - Definitely

Aritaum Water Sliding Tint - First Impression Review

I've been crazy over korean make-ups.  I really love Korean make-ups, because I felt like their products matches my skin tone, and they're cheaper than US makeup products.

I've heard lots of good reviews on the Aritaum lip tints line.  So I bought one online from Facebook: Korean Cosmetics PH. They have few shades available on hand when I bought this, but they accept preorders.

I got the Aritaum Water Sliding Tint #3 - Sweet Heart.  

First Impression:

General Appearance & Packaging: 

It has a fragrant sweet smell, not overpowering.  You'll hear a click everytime you click to raise some of the product.  It claims it raises it 1mm, which is just enough for your lips.  

WARNING: Once you click to raise the product, you CAN'T retract it again. It's locked.  So be careful not to over-click or over twist the product.

Swatch

Application & Longevity:
The tint lasted for 6-7 hours.  It's not kiss proof, some of the tint transferred to my hand when I performed the kiss-proof test, but it's very light only.  Some product also transfers to the glass I'm drinking, but barely noticeable.  Upon application it LITERALLY glides onto your lips, it was very smooth and very moisturizing.  This is perfect for those with dry lips.  The feeling of the tint is very light and really moisturizing.  I love how it feels on my lips.

After the 1st hour, the "shine or gloss" wears off, and leaves your lips a very light tint.  This is perfect for everyday use.

Will I purchase this product again? - Definitely
Will I recommend this? - YES!
