The most suitable colors for my morena skin is Orgasmic Rush and Wine Pearl. Pink Posies is way too artificial for my skin color, it’s perfect for fair-skinned girls.

Emu Mineral Lip Butter Tints on my lips:

Pink Posies on me

I’d love to have pink lips but Pink Posies is not for me, =(

Wine Pearl on me

Wine Pearl is on the reddish pink shade. Pureglow described it as a lips-but-better shade but not for me. I still find it a little reddish.

Orgasmic Rush on me

Now, Orgasmic Rush is my lips-but-better-shade! Jamie described it as reminiscent of Nars Orgasm Blush. She’s right on describing it as a peachy-pink shade. Peach shades suits me best and this also applies with my blushes I think.

The Lip Butter Tints come in a twist-up tubes just like the lip balms. I love that it still carries the minty formulation, the reason why I tried the lip tints. These are highly pigmented but it still needs second or third layer of application on the lips.

The lip tints are not creamy hence I need to swipe it over again. After a few hours, I noticed that my lips easily gets dry and the color will be visible at the lines of my lips. I have to check from time to time to reapply.

Venus and Mars/Pureglow may have the perfect lip balm, the Emu Lip Detox, but with the added ingredients to make it into a lip tint may have diminished its moisturizing properties on the lips. I still use the Orgasmic Rush but I top it off with my Burt’s Bees lip balm.

1. G-lish Duo Foundation – a review

G-lish has stalls in malls and their very pretty and girly kiosks made me check out their products. They have Duo Foundation in a very sleek all-white compact, reminds me of VMV packaging. It’s also very slim, perfect to slip in a girl’s small bag. The sales attendant said that when it’s time to buy the refill, they will replace the whole compact with a new one, just bring the old compact too. Pretty neat especially that the compact is white and it will really get dirty over time.

I got the Duo Foundation in Shade #10 for Php 300. The G-lish Duo Foundation claims to have SPF and oil control.

I like the wide mirror that maximizes the inside of the compact. The soft sponge has a separate compartment but it is thin though. I forgot to ask if the new compact when I’ll buy a refill comes with a new sponge as well. The shade matches my skin tone well.

Sadly, the powder foundation is a major fail in oil control. After a few hours, my T-zone gets oily. After a week of using it, I got few bumps on my chin area, I rarely get zits and if I do, just one or two pimples only. I stopped using this because I know this is the culprit, this is the only new addition on my regimen.

I will not buy this again. If you want to have and try this, I can give it to you, just leave me a message of your intent. It might work for you. I only used this for a week, just buy a new sponge for this.

Lips that Say ‘Dear Darling’

Lipstick promotes moist, lip firming volume

Most of Etude House’s shades of lipsticks are more on pinks and peaches. I think I only saw 3 or 4 reddish shades for the lipsticks, the one I bought included. The lipstick is dangerously red with a hint of shimmer. This glides on the lips smoothly and has a creamy texture. Swatch of Code B Dear Darling Ultra Firming Lips below:

Vivid Tint & Translucent, Sparkling Gloss in One Application!

Do not be misled by the name, it’s not sour. =) The Apricot Stick comes in slim plastic white tube that’s perfect for a girl’s small purse. It’s a tinted lip gloss, however, I think it lacks color and all it gives is shine to my lips. I felt that my lips went dry after a few hours of application too.

Dear Darling Tint No. 2

Jelly Lip Tint for Rouge Colored Lips
Jelly texture adheres to lips without fading (No lip strain)
Natural, vivid lips
Long lasting lip moisture supplement

This one goes into my kikay kit after my purchase. This gives me a natural-looking red lips. The taste and smell is not bad, a little bit sweet for me. I’m not a fan of sponge applicators before because it harbors bacteria more but the Dear Darling Tint comes with this so I don’t mind. Be sure to apply it to dry lips so that the tint adheres to the lips. I always apply 2 coats, and to even out the tint on my lips, I use my finger to spread.

This is not long lasting though, after just one drink of water, the tint diminished already. Also, after a few hours, this made my lips dry. What I do is apply my Burt’s Bees lip balm over the lip tint.

Plumping Lip Tint No. 1 – Red – Php 348

Plumping Lip Tint in Red

Colorful lip plumping tint supplies smooth moisture

Packaged in a small nail-polish like bottle, this one comes as my second-fave among the Etude House lippies. I normally don’t like glossy lips and I don’t need any lip plumpers but this one is an exception. The applicator is a silicon-tip instead of a brush. After a few seconds of application, a minty feel is felt on the lips, I think this is supposed to be the part where lip plumping occurs. But for me, the image of plumped lips is because of the glossy finish it gives to my lips.

I use this over Dear Darling Lip Tint in Real Read, doing so makes the color lasts longer.

So there, it’s still up to you if you wanted to try Etude House products, but if you’re asking for my suggestion, try the Dear Darling Tint and Plumping Lip Tint.

Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick

Since there’s no SA at Revlon, I wasn’t able to inquire about their testers, the SA from Loreal suddenly offered their own version, Loreal Infallible Lip Duo Compact. If Revlon lasts for 12 hours, the Infallible Lipstick lasts for 16 hours, beat that!

Loreal Infallible Lip Duo Compact

Discover our 1st longwear lip duo compact!

In just two clicks Infallible colour and comfort lasts up to 16 hours.

You’re 2 clicks away from the new shape of lip colour.

Our 1st longwear lip duo compact; seals in colour for up to 16 hours and locks in moisture.

Infallible Lip Duo Compact is around Php 900. The SA offered to swatch their 2 bestselling shades and taught me how the lipstick works. The lip duo consists of a lip color and a conditioning balm. The lip color is applied first to clean dry lips and allow to set for 1 minute. Then apply the conditioning balm to keep lips moisturized and this can be reapplied whenever necessary. I tried 102 Blush Obsession and 201 Stay Ultraviolet…

I like the Stay Ultraviolet more but the Blush Obsession looks great on fair-skinned ladies.

So does the lipstick lived up to its name, YES! I tested the lipstick earlier around 7 pm, its already 2 am as I write this and I’ve washed my hands 3 or 4 times already. I also rubbed it a few times but still the colors won’t budge. I wonder how it’ll work on the lips, though. But one thing’s for sure, Loreal Infallible Lip Duo Compact will be included in my “lemming-for” list.

Cons:

- my Black/Brown liner is a little bit drier than Ruby. So a little trouble in my application…

- twist-up tube can’t be retracted so be careful when you twist

- stocks ran out fast from Meg and if you’re hooked with this, you have to buy at Beauty Bar at approximately Php 400 each
