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!
