Review: L'Oreal Colour Riche in no. 170 Cotton Pink

Looking for a good moisturizing lippie?
Well I just happen to find one!

I picked up a nice baby pink color. Something cute but still looks natural on lips.
Like a shade that would not wash off my face leaving a pale look. No it doesn't do that.
Without further ado, here it is. L'Oreal Colour Riche in no. 170 Cotton Pink 
Kindly excuse my thumb marks by the way.



'
 What I think about it?  
-I like that it contains Jojoba butter which helps to keep the lips soft and moisturized.
-I love the color, it's a baby pink shade which I'm into as of the moment.
-Inexpensive, I even got mine for cheaper price because of sale. $2.99 only!
-It glides on smoothly and stays for decent number of hours.
-It sort of emphasizes dry lips though so better exfoliate and moisturize prior to application.
-It glides on easily and feels very light.

Have you ever tried this? Let me know your thoughts too!

Sophie Martin J’ADORE LIPSTICK in Summer Pink

Hi everyone!
Here's another uber duper cheap lipstick find!
Sophie Martin  J’ADORE LIPSTICK
costs PHP 79.00 only and is actually available in 10 shades. 
I got the shade in  in Summer Pink.
For some reasons I just think that it's a very wearable color for everyday use.
Here are some photos to show you:







Isn't that a gorgeous color?
Honestly, I'd love to pick up more color like Mango Peach and Cotton Peach.
It's not as creamy as I've expected to be but the color pay-off is really good. 
May be an important factor to consider is that my lips aren't as moisturized as it is supposed to be. 
Yes, talk about dry chapped lips here. 
I prefer to use lip balm prior to lipstick application so it would glide better smoothly.
Overall, it's a decent lipstick to own specially if you're on a tight budget.

Btw, I miss blogging and virtually talking with you!
It's been a while! IMY!

Please stay tuned for more posts.
Thanks for reading.

MAC Frost Lipstick in Angel





MAC Cosmo vs MAC Angel

Hate that it also melts easily unlike my MAC Cosmo
Grr now I have to use lip brush whenever I need to use this

NYX in Strawberry Milk, MAC Angel, Ever Bilena in Mauvey
Angel is a soft light pink color with mauve undertone which can actually suit any skin color.
It has very minimal frost on it which makes it wearable. It's semi-opaque and I suggest not to over apply as it might look cakey. I'd rather pair this lippie with an eye makeup or else I'd look pale. However, I prefer it more for "morenas".  I do like the scent, it smells like "vanilla" on sleek MAC bullet packaging. Hate that mine was easily broken...grrr..

Did the same thing happened with you or it's just me? LOL
Btw, it's pricey for me...
Will I repurchase? No. I'd better grab a peachy pink or a coral MAC lippie next time.
Suggest shades please! I want a lip color that will make me look blooming and will make my lips pop. I'm more unto pinks, peachy pink, reds and corals than nudes or pale lip colors...

Where to buy?

MAC COSMETICS
Price:
$14.50
But I got it for $19.00 at Duty Free
Thank you so much for reading! :)

 Here are some swatches...

MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick in Cosmo VS MAC Lippie in Angel
PROS:
-Creamy and glides on easily
-Pigmented (as in)
-Nice for everyday use to those who likes pink with brown undertone lip color. 
(I noticed that it appears more pink on lighter skin complexion and seems more brown on darker.)
-Lip color stays for decent number of hours (actually longer than my MAC Angel)

CONS:
-Somewhat drying that's why I opt to use it with Carmex lip balm
-Pricey

This new and innovative product is a completely matte lip paint that will leave your lips looking vibrant with full bodied colour. The Matte Factor is a 'liquid lipstick' that is completely unique, painting your lips with a matte-nificent peach colour leaving a gorgeous matte, velveteen finish.

The Matte Factor Lip Paint by Miners Cosmetics is the perfect combination of high pigment trend inspired colour and completely matte velveteen finish. Simply appply The Matte Factor liberally to your lips for a matte, peach shade.

Size comparison:



MY THOUGHTS:

First thing I notice with this is the packaging, a liquid lipstick that is housed in a tube similar with lip glosses and comes in a doe-foot applicator. The texture of the lip paint is creamy, pigmented and glides on easily. It doesn't dry my lips though it's matte. Well, actually it's not super matte specially when you first apply it. It stays on for a decent period of time without reapplying. The formula seems fading gradually over time and ends up as a semi-lip tint. To make any lip color last longer, use a lip primer or a lip sealer.

LIPCOTE SEALER

Check out Skye Avenue for this babies and more 
great brands that aren't easily available here in Philippines.

 "Available  in four fabulous Hyper-Brite shades (Annalise’s Pink, Flaming Red, Orangeade & Pink Hawaiian) with a vanilla-berry scent, these lipsticks will create a pout that's straight off the runway!" 

MY THOUGHTS:

 in Annalise's Pink is a medium blue-based neon pink in color.
It smells yummy sweet but and not bothering at all.
It comes in semi-matte finish and has decent pigmentation.

Nice to stash around for the pink lippie addicts.

Affordable Lipstick Swatches

Hi everyone!
I came up with an idea of collating lip swatches knowing how hard it is to somewhat compare certain colors of lippies that you'd wanna get. Hope this swatches will help you. Btw, those are my lips, kindly excuse if you can see some facial hairs. All photos are not enhanced, no editing done aside from placing some texts so you can see the true color of lippies. Please also disregard some feathering as I didn't use any lip pencil nor foundation on my face (or any makeup actually aside from the lippie per se). However, please consider our differences on lip color and shapes. Also, nobody or no shop is allowed to grab or copy my lip swatches unless I've given you my permission. Please respect my work and effort. Refrain from stealing and copying. Some even don't place photo credits and worst, they also remove bloggers watermarks and claim it as their own. Just ask me nicely, don't worry I don't bite, kindly see the pages above to ask my permission or for further swatch requests. Reviews for lippies are also posted if you're interested.
