☾ Sailor Moon X ColourPop | Daylight Lip Bundle | Review & Swatches



Remember when I showed you my SM eyeshadows? Well, after waiting for a couple of months because of the pandemic, I got my hands on another item from this collab. This time is the Daylight Lip Bundle that comes with two products: Ultra Blotted Lip and Ultra Glossy Lip.
They have two sets, one is "Daylight" (the one I got) and "Moonlight" which is slightly darker.

I swear this products are sold out as soon as they are back in stock. Big shoutout to SKINA for contacting me when I was desperately looking for this products, hehe.

But, enough of the random talk, let's get to the proucts. Like I did with the eyeshadows, I'll start with the packaging.

☾ Packaging

Since most of the SM things I own have Usagi in her Senshi uniform, I choose school uniform / normal life Usagi stuff whenever I can, that's one of the reasons why I chose this set.
As well as the eyeshadows, the box is all pink with holographic deets. On the front we have Usagi and Luna, holographic moons on both sides and Luna on the back with a little description of the products.
Too girly, too cute, I love it!





The lippies inside are very simple to be honest, not that they are not pretty but, I think they could've done a better job (like those Japanese collabs). I feel like you can do a lot with something Sailor Moon themed.
The lippies are very clean looking with a pink lid and gold moon details.


Each of them has the SM logo and the name of the product, in gold too.

☾ Lippies

Like I said, it comes with 2 different products:

Ultra Blotted Lip: It's called "Usagi" and it's a bright pink liquid lipstick with a soft, matte velvety finish. This one doesn't have any scent to it.



It is described as "a medium coverage matte lipstick that creates a soft, diffused look. it is completely transfer-proof and long-wearing but also lightweight and comfortable. no cracking or flaking! leaves lips smooth and fresh."


I agree with the medium coverage, you actually have to build up the color a little to get an even finish. It is transfer proof but, not really long lasting. Color wears off as son as you eat or drink something.
I could be biased here because of how much I like SM but honestly, even tho the color is pretty and the finish is really nice, I'm not impressed with this one.



As you can see, the color set on the lip lines.

Ultra Glossy Lip: It's called "Moon Tiara" (hence the color) and it's a light orangle gloss with tiny gold and pink glitters. Even tho it's gloss, it is not sticky at all and has a nice vanilla scent.




Description: "swipe on our hi-shine, smoothing (never sticky) gloss and prepare to be obsessed. enriched with jojoba oil to moisturize, nourish, and provide a cushiony feel for juicy, fuller-looking lips. our brush applicator applies a perfect plush layer that looks and feels amazing. five flawless finishes from 3-d pearl to sheer tinted colour. apply over naked lips or your favorite lipstick."

This gloss is not tinted at all, in my opinion. But it works well on top of other colors, giving your lips a glossy, sparkly look. I have lots of peachy shdes so I think I can se it with them.
The aplicator is a small brush that makes the application clean and easy. I like it.






I tried applying the gloss on top of the lipstick, and even tho the color looked nice, the gloss kinda swipes off(?) the color as you apply it.

I don't regret buying this set because it's part of my Sailor Moon collection and to me, that's good enough but, I know there are better quality lippies out there for the same price I got these. So, if you're not a SM fan, I don't think these would be worth it. If you wanna but something from this collection, I suggest getting the eyeshadows or a blush. I've heard many good comments on the blushes and, they have pretty colors too.

Time for me to go win love by daylight~ ♡ Bye bye!

💋 REVLON Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish | WW84 | Review & Swatches



Not long ago, Revlon came up with a Wonder Woman Collection. I recently found out because my bestie Ceci told me about it and I fell for one of the lippies they had which happened to be part of their regular colors, not exclusively for this collection.

I do like Wonder Woman but I like the original one, Linda Carter. She's so pretty and I kinda wanted to be like her when I was a little girl but, to be honest, I didn't even watch the latest movie.
So, having an item from this collection is cool in a way, but it wasn't a must for me.

Long story short, my friend Ceci and I have been talking about these products since late June, when the sales started and she showed me this beautiful lip polish. I fell in love with it and after thinking about it for a while (and hearing great comments from her) I decided to get it.
I looked for it in different stores but it was sold out everywhere, and I really, really wanted to get in in the 2x1. Ceci found it in the Wonder Woman version, which wasn't part of the sales, and was kind enough to get it for me. That is why I ended up having something from this collection.


Product description:
"Finally, a liquid lipstick that delivers the high-pigment, high-shine lacquer finish you’ve been waiting for—in a non-feathering formula that doesn’t settle into lip lines or creases."

I don't wear many glossy lippies now but they give me 90s vibes! Is not that I don't like them but I don't like the sticky feeling most of them have. This one feels like a mix of both, liquid lipstick and lipgloss.

The shade is called "Birthday Suit" (925) and I'd descibe it as one of those my lips but better kind of color. It's a mauve nude, perfect for every day and I think it suits any skin tone beautifully.


Even tho it has a thick formula, the product is pigmented enough to look even with just one layer so it doesn't feel heavy on the lips. It is sticky, but not as sticky as others. The color is really shiny and even tho it is not meant to be a super long lasting lippie, it wears out nicely and evenly.
The application is clean and easy.




It has a nice fruity, sweet scent that is not too strong, I really like it but then again, keep that in mind before buying.

All in all, I really like it. And there are many beautiful colors from this line so, defo check them out!

Random but, I've been using this nail polish from Flormar a lot lately and even tho it looks a little lighter in the bottle, once applied it matches this lippie perfectly. I love them together, haha.

💋 Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink | Review & Swatches |



You might recognize these babies from my latest drugstore haul, they are the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink.

This lippies are described as: "Intensely perfect, perfectly intense. Ink your lips in up to 16 HR saturated liquid matte."


It's usually hard for me to use matte liquid lippies because they always accentuate my lip lines and how chapped they are but what I noticed with these ones is that it doesn't happen. Even tho they have a matte finish, they also have a thick creamy formula that makes my lips look smooth. It is a bit sticky at the beginning, but that fades once the product dries on the lips.

They are very pigmented, there's no need to apply many layers to get the desired color. I also find the application to be easier than other liquid lipsticks. It might be because of the shape of the applicator.


It is true when they say it lasts for 16 hours, even if you eat and drink. The only part that kinda wears off a little as you eat is the inner part of the lips, but you don't need to retouch every couple of hours. Also, they are transfer proof once they set on the lips.
I'd defo go for one of these if I know I'll be busy all day with no time to worry about my makeup. Perfect for work and events.

They do have a sweet scent, kinda like vanilla or... cookies! Haha. It's not something that bothers me but, gotta keep that in mind if you don't like scented products.


Something I noticed is that the formula looks ugly if you apply lipbalm before the product, it kinda breaks and becomes rubbery. I usually do this with other lipsticks but it doesn't work well with these particular ones.

After all that, let's check the 2 shades I got:

The first one is #10 "Dreamer", which is a really pretty cold pink. I love how it looks on the package and I really like the color. I just don't know if I like how it looks on my lips. It's paler than what I usually wear.





The other is #125 "Inspirer", this is a soft, medium pink. Kinda like a... strawberry pink! I love everything about this color. I think it's perfect for an everyday look.




       
I only bought those two because I wanted to try them first. I think they are worth it tho. And they have a really nice variety of colors. I would defo get more and maybe try other shades rather than just pink.

💋 HudaBeauty Demi Matte Lipsticks: My favorite lippies atm



If I had to choose a favorite product atm, they would have to be the lippies from Huda Beauty. They have been my most (if not only) used lip products this Winter.


Where do I even start? 
Even tho I like matte lipsticks, they always feel way too dry on my lips and make them look horrible! (as you know, I have super dry lips all the time) but these ones in particular don't make them look like that. Of course I apply some lipbalm before the actual color but, it doesn't affect the formula or the color.
They dry quickly without feeling too dry or patchy and it lasts for a long, long time.


Color wise they are super pigmented so there is no need to build up the color and, they have a very subtle but nice chocolate scent. Yum!



Not the best pics, I know. Hehe
I bought this one after taking the other pics but, still wanted to include it.

I own a couple of individual lipsticks and a set that comes with 3 products.
The set is super, duper pretty and it comes with 2 smaller size lippies and a lip liner in a nude shade. 
The plastic, transparent box is in the shape of pink lips and it can be used to store other products. 
I'm not really into lip liners but one of my friends suggested I could try to create a gradient look using the 3 products. And I can always try to make my lips look fuller with it too.





HudaBeauty products are available in Sephora.

So there they are, my winter obsession haha. If you have the chance to get your hands on these babies, defo go for it! They are totally worth it. 💋
