LA Girl Creme Lipstick



Out of impulse, I bought a lipstick from LA Girl. It is in their Creme Lipstick line in the shade Forbidden Love. It is a pinkish nude shade which I liked.

Although it is said to be a "Creme" lipstick, it does not feel creamy at all since when applied, it feels to be matte. You have to apply lip balm first to prevent lips from being dry. Its staying power can last up to 3 hours. 

It has a crayon like scent which turned me off. 

It costs more than 200php. I forgot the exact price. This is actually the second lipstick that I bought after Nichido's Shea Butter Lipstick. I am not yet informed about different brands and their quality during this time. If I probably have known other brands, I won't pick this one out.

The shade is good for everyday us which is pinkish brown.

Swatched on my lips

Overall, this isn't the best lipstick for me, the scent just bothers me and the fact that it makes my lips dry, I don't like it. I should probably exfoliate and apply lip balm before putting this on.

I'm going to be off looking for other shades and other brands :) 

Cheers!

Myra Vita Glow

I recently bought a new moisturizer called Myra Vital Glow: Tinted Facial Moisturizer. It comes with a box which I think is a plus since there are a lot of information that can be placed on it.

It is enriched with Vitamin E, SPF 15, minerals, and has a tint. It comes in Beige and Ivory. It is easy to apply, glides on smoothly on the face. It does not give a sticky feeling and is absorbed rather quickly. The tint is not that visible although it helps in making the face color even. It has shimmers when you apply it. If you're not a fan of shimmers, this might turn you off. In my case, I don't mind a little sparkle on my face!

Just becasue it is tinted, it does not compare with the coverage a BB cream can give. It does its job as a moisturizer and the color is just a plus. If you want a heavier coverage, this one isn't for you.

Moisturizers are good for those with dry skin.

In my case, I tried using this and settled it with a powder and it worked just fine. However due to my dry skin, pressed powder dries my skin so I will just use it as is.

It is easily available in groceries or any SM Department stores. It costs 135php, and has 35ml net content. It is hypo-allergenic and dermatologist-tested.

I recommend this to those who wants a cheap find of something that can even out skin tone on a daily basis!

Celeteque Hydration Facial Wash



Today I'm going to review on Celeteque Facial Wash. I've bought their Facial Scrub last time, now it's time for me to try out their facial wash!

Their facial wash is clear brown in color. It is noticable when you flip the container that the product has a watery consistency which will give you the idea that yes, probably this one is really mild. Upon using it, it does not have any strong odor. It lathers nicely and it feels smooth the moment you place it on your face. After washing I felt refreshed and that my face is soft and smooth. I have dry skin, so this mild facial wash works for me! It does not further dry my skin like other facial wash do.

I like it more than the scrub since I'm not expecting it to be anything but mild. 

It costs 119php for the 100ml tube. 

Repurchase: Yes!
