PeriPera Ink Airy Velvet 02 Review

If you want to read my FULL and detailed review on PeriPera's Ink Airy Velvet products, feel free to click my 2017 post!  (Don't get confused, packaging is a bit different but hey!  It was 2 years ago!  I'm glad PeriPera made some changes!)

These cuties were launched last May 23 and I was there to celebrate their 2nd Birthday!  They also launched a couple of new items / shades and that includes the Ink Airy Velvet line from PeriPera in a cuter and newer packaging!

Lioele Lip Color Sticks Review

Lip crayons, the easiest lip product to use because, who doesn't love Crayons?

And best of all, who doesn't love Twistable Crayons?

The first few lip crayons I've tried are mostly like tinted lipbalms, they are highly moisturizing yet has the least amount of pigment.  I love them, but sometimes, I crave for color!  Thankfully, brands are coming up with pigmented lip crayons and one of them is from the brand Lioele.

At first glance, I didn't know these were pigmented, they look like regular tinted lip balms so one swipe gave me a shock! (in a good way!)

Lioele Lip Color Sticks

Php220.00 each

Shades: Candice, Jessy, Elly and Rebecca

Lioele’s 3-in-1, multi-tasking lip crayon is formulated with highly-pigmented colors like a lipstick; moisturizes and nourishes like a balm; delivers a high-shine, lip gloss finish; soft, creamy texture smoothens out fines lines; automatic twist-up stick needs no sharpening.  PERFECT FOR: A plumper, healthier, perfectly painted pout.

A Reddish Orange Lipstick That I Can Actually Wear + Important Tip!

If you are a fan of lipsticks, you probably knew some key rules by now especially on how to make your teeth appear whiter!

Sometimes, you don't have to be a Professional Make Up Artist to know the tricks.  You know it by heart if a particular lip color works for you or not.  As for me, I knew from the very start that orange-y lip colors really aren't my best friend.  They do not just make my teeth yellower than usual, it makes my overall look dark and I appear to have acidic skin (even if I don't!)

Now, keep in mind that yellow and orange base lip colors tend to bring out the same hues on your teeth but again, there will be some exceptions to the rule!  I actually found a reddish orange lip color that I can actually wear!  It's not my favorite lipstick out of the bunch but I am happy to announce, I can wear it and not look like I'm toasted under the sun!

Can you guess the brand?

No?  Click to read more because you will be very surprised!

"Orange" You Glad It's Summer Time?

Not Really. 

But I'm glad it's my birthday soon!

Just a few more days and I'm turning a year older!  I don't feel any day older though, I guess I am surrounded by fun and young people I get all the youthful energy!  And let's not forget, I like cute, pretty stuff that makes me happy every single day!

Today, I am wearing a lip color I absolutely dislike *laughs*  But that's just me, Orange lipstick really isn't my thing but this lipstick that I got from NYX Cosmetics called NYX Full Throttle is a type of lipstick worth checking out!  I don't know how this got into my kit (I mean, THIS COLOR in particular) but who am I to judge?  This color is particularly LOVELY on photo!  A bit shocking neon orange in person but really beautiful on photos! 

According to NYX Cosmetics ---

"It’s the color addict’s ultimate fix and a makeup artist’s dream: Our new waterproof Full Throttle Lipstick covers your lips with super-saturated matte color and features a unique bullet with a beveled edge for lining, filling and perfecting your pout to your heart’s desire."

 

My #MaryKayBeautyOnTheGo Looks

As a busy individual (Note: I'm not talking about just being a busy mom so this tutorial is for EVERYONE!)  I know on most days, I only have less than 5 minutes to do my makeup so if you can see my photo collage below, you can see the key products I use.. can you spot them?

Brows - check!

Eyeliner - check!

Mascara - check!

and various lipstick shades --- Check! Check! Check!

That's why when I was challenged by Mary Kay Philippines to create my own version of #MaryKayBeautyOnTheGo looks using these....

...it doesn't feel like a challenge at all, because this is how I usually wear my makeup!

To start with, I usually spot conceal areas around my face that needed coverage, that's the undereye area and red spots on the sides of my nose.

I like to use a lightweight press powder and for this tutorial, I used Mary Kay On-The-Go Mineral Pressed Powder in Ivory 2 (Php699.00).  There isn't much coverage on this but it sets my concealer pretty well and I like the fact that this is mineral-based so it's safe even around kids.

Tony Moly LipTone Get It Tint in Oh My Rose - A Reddish Orange Lip Color I Can Actually Wear!

I have told this too many times on my workshops, how much of an "orange lipstick-phobic" I am!  Truthfully, I may look okay for others when I wear orange lippies but I don't feel comfortable at all!  It must be my warm undertone and sallow skin that made me feel like I'm too "rusty" whenever I wear such shade.

During my last Tony Moly store visit, I was advised by the SA the top-selling shade of their newest Tony Moly Liptone Get It Tint is called Oh My Rose.  Without questions asked, without even trying out the tester, I picked it up and went straight to the cashier.

Once I got home, I went....OMG...this Oh My Rose shade doesn't look like a "rose" shade to me!  Seems like this is going to be one Reddish Orange Lip Color that I would stay away from for the rest of my life.

After Welcoming Cathy Doll in the Philippines, what now?  Of course we have to try their products!  I was one of the lucky few who got to try these Geisha Hanazakari Lip Matte months ago (months ago because I will be hosting this event and it would be nice to share to the audience my experience after using Cathy Doll products) and already found a favorite shade!  Can you guess which particular shade I call my shade?

L'Oreal Tint Caresse Review

How does it feel like to wear powder lipstick when you have dehydrated lips?  Ask Me!  Please!  I'm the best person to answer!

I got 3 shades of the FIRST Powder Lipstick from L'Oreal Makeup Designer/Paris, I tested them out immediately and here's what I have to say!

Firstly, the packaging is oh-so-chic and amazing!  I can't help but smile whenever I pick these up!  With all the Japanese characters on their "plastic" cover, I knew they are either meant for Japanese market or made in Japan.
