💋 My Current Favorite Lippies💄February 2026

Last time I shared my fav lip combos was back in September last year and, even tho I still love those and wear them often, I've found myself reaching for slightly darker colors lately.  So, I thought I could make an updated post to show you my go-to lippies at the moment. Plus, not long ago, a friend asked me to make an updated "What's in my makeup bag" post but, honestly? Things haven't changed much since the last time I shared it so, this could be something close to that. Hehe.

I'll start with my oldest, the Essence Ultra Last Instant Colour lipstick in the shade 11 "Cherry Sweet", which is a beautiful berry color. I like Essence products in general and these lippies aren't the exception. It is creamy, moisturizing and long lasting.

You can make it look a little darker by building up the color. Sometimes I'd even wear it with a lip gloss in a similar shade.

Next we have this one that was a gift from one of my closest friends. It's called FavorBeauty Color Stay Lipstick. I couldn't find the shade or number but I feel like its kinda similar to the previous one but lighter and a little pinkier. It kinda makes me think of strawberries (it actually smells like that). This one has a matte finish so, sometimes I like to apply some gloss on top because my lips are already super dry most of the time. But I really, really like this color.

It looks really pretty on the lips and durability is great for a matte lippie.

Lastly, we have the Miniso Minimalist Lipstick in the shade 08 "Glossy". This one was a gift from my mom. I already had a matte one that she also gave me but, this one has a creamy finish and it lasts longer on my lips. 

It is a little lighter when you apply it on the lips, it's perfect for an everyday color.

And, that's that. My 3 favs atm. Out of the 3, I'd say the Miniso lippie is the one I reach out for the most. Making these posts makes me miss buying makeup, haha. 

See you next time~!💋

Bausse | Jelly Crayon + Blush |

Now that the Halloween season is over, let's talk about makeup for a change. Last month, my mom gave me this fun jelly crayon from the brand Bausse Cosmetics. I'm new to the brand but, according to the internet, it's a mexican brand that makes cosmetics and accessories.

This is a 2 in 1 product, and I love that. It can be used as a blush stick and a lip tint. It claims to have a long-lasting and vibrant finish. 

They have 4 different shades, I have #01, which is a red blush. It is a fun product to use because it has a jelly-like texture and when you apply it, it feels kinda wet without being wet(?). It's... interesting. 



These are the other shades they have.
How cute is this ad tho?

I've used it mostly as a blush applying 2 or 3 dots on my cheeks and blending it with my finger. It might look too red at the beginning but it doesn't look like that once you blend it. It dries kinda fast tho, so you gotta work it it as soon as you apply it to avoid having the circle marks on your cheeks.


I rarely wear lip tints tho, I gave up on them. They never look pretty on my forever dry lips, and even if I apply a lipbalm or gloss on top, it sets on the lines. But when you apply it on your lips, it feels exactly like a lip tint, it has this watery feeling and dries like one too.


This is a fun, lightweight product to use. I think it'd be perfect for Summer, there's something refreshing about it (Idk if that makes any sense tho). I especially like it as a blush and I'd defo like to try the other shades they have. 

See you next time~!💋

💋 My Current Favorite Lippies💄

It's been a while since my last makeup related post. Thing is, even tho I still love makeup, I rarely buy new products anymore. I'm trying to stick to what I have rn and restock whenever I run out of something. That's why I've been going back to the lippies I already had (which are too many).

I realized that the ones I'm reaching out for the most are very, very similar so, I kinda wanted to share them in here cuz they are very neutral, nude-ish, my lips but better kinda shades that can work all year long, no matter the season. At least in my opinion, hehe.

Since they are 2 liquid and 2 creamy lippies, I decided to divide them and start with the liquid lippies.

🗢 Revlon Colorbust "Sunbaked" (044)

This one is a liquid lippie I bought a while ago. To me, it is mix of pink and brown with a hint of purple.

Packaging is pretty simple but I like the quilted effect on the lid. I like the applicator, it helps you control the amount of product you apply, it makes it clean and easy. 

It keeps the lips moisturized and improves the texture of the lips. The color is lighter than what it looks like once you apply it, it is kinda sheer too but it does give you a hint of a tint. I like it because it's very lightweight and it's not sticky. It doesn't have a special scent to it, which is good for those who aren't too happy with scents.

Something I noticed tho, is that this product (and the whole line) is discontinued, guess I won't be able to repurchase once I run out of it.

🗢 Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish "Birthday Suit" (925)

Yes, I still have a Wonder Woman edition but, you can find this shade in the normal version too. I love this one, loved it since the first time my friend bought it and it's been one of my favs ever since. 

Even tho it is similar to the Colorbust lippie, this one is slighty pinkier and has less of a brownish tone to it. Plus it's not as sheer and it's more pigmented.

The formula applies smoothly and doesn’t settle into lip lines. It's a little creamy and shiny, which makes my lips look fuller. I usually get many compliments when I'm wearing it.

It contains vitamin E and shea butter, and you can get an even color with just 1 swipe. It does have a scent to it tho,  to me it smells like vanilla and I really like it.

Now let's move on to the creamy lipsticks.


🗢 CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick "Sultry" (200)

I got this one a while ago, I've used it a lot, it's one of those lippies I think are perfect for every occasion. As you can see, the shade is very similar to the sunbaked one, I used to wear them together when I wanted a glossy look. It is also slightly brownish.

This lipstick is super pigmented and creamy. It applies smoothly on the lips and it doesn't set into the lip lines. You can build up the color if you want.

Durability wise, it's great. I like it because I don't have to worry about retouching it for a while. It does have a slight sweet scent to it. I can't really describe it but, I really don't mind.

🗢 Sephora #Lipstories "Oui!" (3)

Lastly, we have this beautiful baby. I haven't talked about presentation much cuz the others are pretty simple but this one is cute! All these lippies have a  packaging made of cardboard (I think) and depending on the shade, they have different designs inspired by stories on social media. This one has some hangers with pastel/pink dresses. Very girly!


The color is a warm-toned pink with a creamy finish. Again, kinda similar to the "birthday suit" one. I didn't choose them on purpose, hehe. It is lightweight, creamy and hydrating. I love it but, this one does set on the lip lines so, I always try to apply some lipbalm before.

Lol

And well, those are my 4 most used and current fav lippies. I just found it funny how similar they were. I know some people go for darker shades during Fall-Winter but I think I look way paler when I go for those colors. Idk. I do like to try something different every now and then tho.

I guess that is that for this post, it was fun taking the lippies pics and swatches! It has been a while! Anyway, I'll see you in the next one~! 💋

Beauty Cream O'Cheal


It's time to show you the new BB cream I'm currently loving, which is, again, a present from my mom hehe. I feel like most of the products I've been trying lately are gifts from her.

It's the Beauty Cream O'Cheal in the shade 02 Natural. I believe they have other 2 shades. I haven't worn BB cream in a long time so it 's been fun and refreshing to go back to it.

I do want to start by talking about the presentation cuz, I love it! It comes in a black box with a flower pattern, same pattern you can find in the case. It looks very cheerful and springy.


Inside the box you can find the square shaped plastic case with the product, along with a mushroom puff in a nice pouch. Love the small details!


The plastic case has a good quality and, even tho it is light, the plastic is thick enough. When you open it, you'll find this type of cushion with the product. You just have to gently pat on it to get the product. First time I used it I did it a little too hard and a lot of product came out so yeah, be gentle.

The application is actually super clean and easy, you can always use the puff it comes with or, your own beauty blender.

Moving on to the actual product, it is a super lightweight BB cream that combines the coverage of a foundation with the lightness of a moisturizer. Even tho it has a medium coverage, it's light enough to build up the coverage without feeling or looking thick. It has an even, long-lasting coverage, leaving your skin with a very natural, healthy and glowy. Plus, it has UV protection.


Before pic shows my washed face and some skincare. I do have some redness, moles and very light freckles.
After applying the BB cream, you can still see my moles but my complexion looks a lot more even. I only applied one layer.

It has a very slight, clean scent to it that disappears after a while and the product doesn't set on fine lines even after hours of wearing it. It also claims to be water and sweat proof.

I haven't been wearing makeup every songle day lately but, I'm pretty happy with it everytime I do. It is a product I defo recommend.

See you next time~! ♡

Kobeleen Powder Blusher Stick

I remember there was a time when I was obsessed with blushes. I had way too many and I couldn't stop buying them. I still love them, I just don't buy as much makeup as I used to.

That's why I was very excited when my mom gave me this one. The Kobeleen Powder Blusher Stick, which is not only super cute, but also has a presentation I haven't seen before. 

These blush sticks come in 4 different shades. The one I have is #02, Peach Milk Fufu, which is this peachy pink kinda shade, really cute!


Peach Milk Fufu


Honestly, I love its presentation, it has the perfect size to carry around without worrying about it breaking in your bag, retouching is easy cuz you don't have any loose powder fying around plus, it's really pretty to look at even tho it's very clean and simple. The color combination add some cuteness to it.


Now, about the actual product; it is a double end blush stick, in one end there's the blush and in the other one there is a soft sponge to apply and blend the product. 
It claims to be waterproof, sweat-proof and last for a long time. I didn't think it'd be as pigmented as it actually is but, pigmentation wise, I'm impressed. Durability is also great.
It has a matte finish and doesn't have any scent to it.


Application is easy too, I just dab it twice and blend with my favorite Sephora blush brush. To me that is enough to get a nice, natural color on my cheeks. But I guess you can apply more if you want a stronger color.



So to wrap it up, I've been loving this product, it's been my everyday blush lately and I'd defo like to try the other 3 shades they have. 💋
