In 1 sachete, I can use it for twice or trice. It depends how much product you apply.

Best results by using 2-3 times a week.

[REVIEW] CITY COLOR Mousse Blush

CITY COLOR Mousse Blush
Shade: SOFT PINK
Price: 2.99 USD (est. 150 PHP) or less.







PACKAGING:

Small square clear acrylic plastic jar with a glossy black cap.
Name of the product and brand on top. Details (shade, ingredients, etc.) was in the bottom.



There's another cap inside where just on top of the product. It helps to stay intact and it keeps the moisture, so that the product will not dry faster.


SWATCH:



In just a small amount of products, you can see how the color pay offs when blended. Plus it is very lightweight.Also buildable and easy to blend just using fingers.



I love to use this to achieve the rosey cheeks effect for everyday makeup. :)
You can use this as it is, just set it with powder or it can be the base for your blush on.

OVERALL:
PRO/s:
  • Very affordable for a great product.
  • Color really pays off.
  • Lightweight
  • Buildable
  • Easy to apply and blend.
CON:
  • Hard to find.


 WHERE TO BUY?
You're lucky if they have stores in your place.
But to those places don't have, you can buy directly from their website.
Or thru online makeup stores.

[REVIEW] Fashion21 All-Day Matte Lipstick

Fashion21 All-Day Matte Lipstick REVIEW
Shade/s: BRONZE & ALL DAY CABARET
Price: 175 PHP




PACKAGING:



 The box are the same with their other line of lipstick (Red Romance Lipstick). But the differences are the label and the color (Red Romance has red at the lower part of the box and this has dark plum color).

And the lipstick packaging itself is like a "gun bullet?" :) It is a gray shimmering plastic packaging. I like it. And I also like it because of how tight the cap, it will not open easily especially if you put it inside of your bag.




SWATCHES:

BRONZE




Bronze is a light nude shade. Perfect for 'no makeup' makeup :D I really like this shade, I would wear it everyday.

CABARET





Cabaret is like a pink-ish coral shade. I prefer this shade as my natural look and it is perfect for summer.



OVERALL:
PROs:
  • Affordable. For less than 200 pesos only.
  • A lot of shades to choose.
  • Pigmented
  • Not too dry. 
  • When the product erased, it leaves stain to the lips and I find it really good. The stains last for a long time.
  • When I eat or drink, it doesn't erase easily.
CON:
  • Just the color pay off is not that great. But it is okay.


STAY BEAUTIFUL!,
-XOXO-

They are committed to help girls to find their perfect lipstick shades based on skin color and type of makeup.

I am curious about LIPTX because they are recommending best lip color for the look. Since I am making videos about different makeup looks, so it would be great to help me out to pick lip colors for my looks.

Upon reading their description, I quickly headed to their website to try it out. (yep! I'm that excited lol)



THIS IS HOW THEIR WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE





HOW TO USE:




THAT'S IT! IT'S EASY, RIGHT?


I really had fun using this. And it really helps me a lot to choose the right color for my looks.

Here's my example using their app that I think the lip color looks good in this look.



THANK YOU!
