My Lipstick Army 2.0 (Accessories and Other Make-ups Included)

I was in Rockwell this evening with my brother to buy some groceries and to look for a highchair for my nephew. We spent quite some time in Dimensione because the staff were inquiring about other highchairs. Anyway, while going around looking for furniture, clocks and small stuff, I saw a lipstick organizer and I knew instantly that I have to get one because my lipsticks are scattered all over my make-up box. 

One organizer could keep 24 lipsticks in place. This costs PHP250. I don't know if it's cheaper else where but this is good enough for me. Is there one in Muji? Must check it out soon.

This is one of my favorite shots. Looks like a sea of people looking at different directions. LOL

Love my Chanels!

Had to arrange the covers too! Esp for NYX.

Since I took pictures of my lipsticks, it's just fitting to include my very humble collection of accessories. 

Bracelets which I rarely use - only for occasions.

Watches - I can't live without em!

 For my other make-ups such as foundations, brushes, pencils, here they are...

Arranged these tiny eye make-ups in a box so they won't be scattered

There's my whole accessories and make-up collection. Enjoy!
Now, I want to see your collection too! :)

Chanel Rouge Coco in 19 Gabrielle

This is my first Chanel lipstick I got it from Duty Free where they sell it at a lower price. I saved around PHP500. I'm so glad I went with my parents to Duty Free.

I chose a very red color - not something I would wear but I decided to try something new rather than to stick with my pinks and nudes. Good thing Chanel cosmetics did not disappoint. 

I got the lipstick for $27 in Duty Free. It's definitely cheaper beause when I checked online, it costs around $30-$32. I asked the SA for their best red lipstick and it was the 19 Gabrielle and I'm so happy with it. It doesn't dry my lips though it's a bit matte. It's supposed to me a hydrating creme lip color but it's not as creamy as I though. It's very pigmented and the color really pops. one swipe on my lower lip and that's enough even for my upper lip. Seriously, one swipe is all you need. The richness of the red isn't too cheap nor overpowering. It's just right. You just have to wear it with everything else muted because it's really very red. I love it.

I seriously don't know why the color doesn't register well in photos but in person, it really stands out.

Revlon PhotoReady in Shell, In2It Waterproof Eyebrow Colour, YSL Long-Lasting Whitening Powder Foundation #4

I took this photo a few hours after application and the color is still good. Stain is still there after a couple of hours. What I don't like about this is whenever I eat or drink, the inner area gets washed out and the outer area still has the stain. Haha. Because of that I need to reapply after a few hours but I don't mind because the color is just wonderful.

I love this Chanel lipstick. 

Have a happy Saturday!

All My Pinks: Pale Pink Lipsticks (1/3)

This is the first of three posts regarding my pink lipstick collection! First picture shows all the lipsticks I'll be reviewing. Three parts: Pale Pink Lipsticks, Toned Down Pink Lipsticks and lastly, Bright Pinks.

L-R: NYX Sparkling Red Lipstick, NYX Tea Rose, NYX Paris, NYX Fig, NYX Spellbound, Revlon ColorBurst in Carnation, MAC Viva Glam Gaga, MAC Chatterbox, Revlon Pink in the Afternoon, Revlon Twinkled Pink, TFS PK101 Moisture, TFS PP401 Semi-Matte

I'll be reviewing three lipsticks for the Pale Pinks. These are MAC Viva Glam Gaga, TFS PP401 Semi-matte and Revlon Twinkled Pink.

First off, the famous MAC Viva Glam Gaga (VGG). This is my go to lipstick when I want a toned down look but not too bare! I could practically wear this from day to night and doesn't dry my lips. It doesn't last that long on my lips, though. I like it because it's creamy and glides smoothly. No problem with this one. I definitely love it and I hope this won't go out of stock.

Second one is the Revlon Twinkled Pink. Yes, I know, it has a bit of frost but totally gorgeous in person. Just don't over apply it and it'll be amazing. This lasts longer on my lips and though it's a bit frosty, you need to apply 2-3 times to get a color because this is sheer. Pretty color but sometimes too loud.

Lastly, the TFS PP401 Semi-matte lipstick. I think they were kidding when they said it's semi-matte because this is as matte as you can get! As you can see in the picture, no shine, no frost, nothing. Just pure color which I totally love! It's a bit paler in pictures but amazing in person. This is a keeper. I just hate the scent. :|

Skin swatches

So, which one to choose? I definitely recommend the TFS semi-matte lipstick and the MAC VGG. Those two are my go to lipsticks for all occasions that need pale lips! You can't go wrong with these two! Just be careful with the TFS lipstick because they're a bit drying but the color is amazing. For the VGG lipstick, the problem with that is it's not readily available here in the Philippines.

What do you think?

Revlon ColorStay Lipsticks

I got the ColorStay Lipsticks from Revlon. By the way, this is still included in my auntie's pasalubong. She really gave us a lot and we are beyond thankful. Anyway, I got two colors, Soft Cinnamon and Satin Rosewood. How come MAC cosmetics have funkier names? Hehe ;)

Anyway, I enjoy wearing these colors because they do last a long time and they are really pigmented. Here are some pics:

Skin swatches

As I was applying it the first time, it was shocking. I never thought a lipstick could be this smooth and pigmented. This is the first swipe of the Soft Cinnamon and see how it is so pigmented. One swipe is all you need. Here are some pictures of the lipstick.
I have to admit it is kind of glittery and frosty but honestly, I don't mind because it's not a "normal" frosty lipstick and the glitter is like part of the color and not "added". Okay, I'm not sure if I'm making sense. It's hard to describe this. Haha.

I like wearing this with a bare face and a toned down outfit like maybe a white shirt and faded boyfriend jeans and my black platform heels. For the make-up, a good foundation like the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation and my Chanel blush and black liner.

Next is Satin Rosewood. It's an everyday color which is probably a dupe for most of my lipsticks. It's very wearable, MLBB and not a loud color.

No need for pros and cons because it's a superb product and the only con is that it stinks. Like it came from an expired container or formula. It really stinks. I saw my friend having the same product and she really loves it too. She has almost emptied it and I asked her if it really stinks (because maybe what I got is expired though it was sealed) and she said it's really like that. The Revlon ColorStay foundation also has a weird smell so I guess it's in the formula of the ColorStay products. Although after application, the scent goes away. Maybe it's the container? I really don't know.

Anyway, if you're really going for long lasting color and very pigmented lipsticks, I recommend this product as long as your nose isn't that sensitive. :)

NYX Round Lipstick Haul

I've seen a lot of posts about the NYX Round Lipsticks because they are cheap and there are a lot of colors available!

The colors I got are: Power, Thalia, Tea Rose, Circe and Paris. Here are some pictures of the lipsticks.





Power is a very pale pink, kind of a lavander color which I adore. It's almost the same shade as the Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and also my The Face Shop Semi-Matte lipstick. This is a totally wearable color which I can mix with other colors.


Next is Thalia. It's kind of a dark rose color which I think is too dark and makes me look old. Sorry. I don't like this and I won't probably use this one except if I wear it with another color.

And then, there's Paris. Its not as pale as Power, actually a few shades brighter and it has that moisturizing effect which I like.

Tea Rose is like Paris but with a hint of coral. It's nice, very wearable like Paris.



And lastly, there's Circe which is the only nude lipstick I bought. It's a natural nude color and it does wash you out but after a while, it blends with my natural lip color and makes it really nice. It's actually pigmented that it covers the color of my lips. It means that it's not sheer like other nude lipsticks. I love this one!

Skin swatches

Verdict: I've always loved NYX Round Lipsticks! They're all very moisturizing and the colors are great!

I got 3 lipsticks before and this is my second NYX haul. When I have the money, I'd probably get some more! :)
