Lip Review: Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Milan

Hi Everyone!

Another review of a product that really gave a very good impression, this is the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Milan.  I bought this product from a beauty fair (check out the 2013 Make Up Hauls) and it was a year ago.  I only have 1 shade since I was in doubt at first if I will like the product.  Again, I will be reviewing the product based on my own personal experience with it.

PRODUCT INFO:

Brand:  Nyx Cosmetics

Name:  Soft Matte Lip Cream

Net Wt:  0.23 oz

Price:   Php250 (online stores, beauty fairs)

Where to Buy:  Beauty Stores online, SM Department Store - Makati

The container is hard plastic with a rubber texture cap.  To open the product you just have to twist the rubber cap.

The lip applicator is very soft that it is easy to apply in the lips.  I really love the smell, it is a vanilla scent.

When you swipe it to your lips it is light lip color, smooth feeling and with a matte finish.  The color is pigmented. 

You can swipe it lightly and will still have a color in your face, you can also build up the color for better color payoff and true color.

I’m planning to buy more colors of this product since this is one of the lip colors I reach for often.

Thank you for reading and until next time.

Pasalubong Haul

Hi guys!

Today, I will share with you what I got from my sister-in-law from the US sent to me.  What is pasalubong?  A traditional gesture of Filipinos to bring gifts from their destination to people back home, or any souvenir brought for family/friends after being away for a period of time.  Going back to the things, Clinique sample items and from here I tried researching the items on how to use it and what is the purpose of each so let us fire away.

1. Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

This is a lightweight cream-gel that will plumps skin with 24-hour hydration and its oil-free.  The smell for me is medium strong and typical moisturizing cream.  The color is light pink and let me know if you want me to have a review on this.

2.  Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion +

It is also a moisturizer, a Dermatologist-developed formula combines all-day hydration with skin-strengthening ingredients to help skin look younger, longer.  Dermatologist-developed formula combines all-day hydration with skin-strengthening ingredients to help skin look younger, longer.  It smells good, it is like a flower scent with a light yellow shade.

3.  Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara and Different Lipstick in Tenderheart

This one has a duo mascara and lipstick.  As for the mascara, it magnifies lashes to twice their size. Thickens them to maximum volume and in minimum time, unique tapered brush finds every lash and for bigger, better lashes.  As for the lipstick, the shade is Tenderheart a midtone blushing nude brown.  The finish is soft-shine and has a moderate coverage.

4.  Clinique All About Shadow Quad in On Safari

This is my first time to have a Clinique eyeshadow, the color shades are nice all have shimmer and I am hoping all the colors will be long-wearing.

5.  Clinique Cosmetics Bag & Companion Bag

A cheery and spacious floral-print bag plus with coordinating mini to keep your must-haves in reach.

6.  Pink Fresh and Clean Hand and Body Cream

Pink Collection from Victoria Secret, a feel so clean in fresh apple and lily and a nourishing body cream and gives a luminous finish.  Shea and cocoa butters leaves a feeling of supersoft and ultrasmooth all over.

7.  Pink Fresh Freesia Body Lotion

Another Pink Collection, a floral scent and gives a fresh feeling.  It is not a overpowering scent, It will also give a smooth skin finish. 

8.  Dolce and Gabbana in The One

It is just a sample bottles and it really smells very nice!  I love the scent, vanilla and it suits me perfectly.  I hope I can purchase one like this (Wishful thinking).

And we are done!  That is my pasalubong haul, thank you for passing by my site.  Hope to see you again on my next blog.  Til next time.

October Beauty Favorites

Hello there!

It has been awhile since I share with you my beauty favorites for these past few months and the products that I will share with you are used almost everyday going to the office or go out with family and friends.

Pond’s Flawless White BB Cream in Light

As you all know I am still an advocate of my Project Hit Pan and you may check out my last year’s blog on this, going back to this product I am really liking this product over my powder since it has a light to medium coverage.  It lessens my oil and I can do the retouch in the afternoon which means I only pat powder at least twice a day.  Of course this is not a concealer, most of my dark spots are still visible but very minimal.  This one is empty, I’m so happy – still into my hit pan project!

Nichido Eye Pencil in Black Brown

Yes, I switched eye pencil and I wanted to have more evident eyelids towards the Christmas season.  I had a previous eye review on this product, you can read the full review.  In summary, it is soft to glide in my eyelids and very affordable if you are looking for a good eye pencil.

ELF All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade

I’m enjoying this cream blush.  It has a pink glow on my face apart from bringing back color on my face.  At first I was having a hard time putting on since I have to dab it directly to my skin and using my hand I will blend it on my skin.  Of course it will take time to master this skill since you have to cheeks to blend and make sure they are at least identical.

Maybelline Baby Lips Glow in Mixed Berry

What I like from this product is the scent, I like the fruity scent and a very nice packaging.  It also gives a little hint of light pink in the lips that you can just swipe in your lips and not add any lip color for natural look.

There you have it my October favorites.  Do you want me to have a product review on the products mentioned, just leave a comment below and I can give you my opinion on the product.

Thank you for taking time to read my blog. 

Hope to see you again next week for another exciting topic.
