💋 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~! ðŸ’‹

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. 💋

Saniye Moist Lip Plump



Last month I receive this gloss as a part of the back to school pressies basket. I love lip products so I was really looking forward to trying it.

This gloss is by Saniye and it claims to make your lips look fuller for hours and give them a healthier look.


It's supposed to have Vitamin E along with advanced plumping ingredients. It's a transparent gloss with a non-sticly formula. It does keep your lips hydrated for a long time.

Almost as soon as you apply the product, you'll start feeling a kind of tingly sensation that might be a little uncomfortable for some. I don't really mind, it goes away after a while. I do have to say, it tastes really bad! It's like a bitter and slightly spicy taste. So, I wouldn't suggest kissing anyone while wearing it, haha.

Since it's transparent, you can apply it along with a lipstick and it still looks nice.

I decided to add 2 before and after pics cuz I was smiling on the first ones I took and I feel the difference doesn't show much.

I wasn't wearing wearing any lipstick but I did notice my lips turned pinkier. I like the color tho, it's like a "my lips but better" kind of thing.


I'd say that the difference is veeeery subtle but I see it. It does make my lips look more hydrated, without any dry lines and a tiny bit fuller, Specially on the upper lip.

I guess it's a fun product to try if you want something that is super subtle and temporary. I haven't really checked how long it lasts tho. 😅

And well, I think that's it for this post. It feels nice to share something makeup related for a change. 

See you next time~! ♡

💋 Jelly Flower Lipstick

Long time no lippie post! 

With the pandemic still out there and having to wear a mask all the time I barely wear or buy lipsticks anymore.

But, not long ago, my mom gave me this pretty Flower Jelly Lipstick from a brand called Ninfei. The presentation is very pretty and girly. 

It is one of those magic lipsticks that change color as you apply it. The difference from the others I have is that this one is transparent! And has a cute, green flower in it. 


It is long lasting but not as long lasting as other magic lippies I've tried. It does come off as you eat and drink during the day. It leaves the lips feeling smooth but not super hydrated.

Surprisingly, it has a sublte peach scent, nothing floral.

It has a nice, soft, pink color that you can build up without feeling thick. It's one of those "my lips but better" kind of color and it doesn't smudge when you wear a mask.

Apparently there's also a pink version of them that I defo want to check!

Lime Crime Prep & Prime Setting Spray

I've been using this product for a couple of years now and for whatever reason I keep forgetting to write about it. It is part of my everyday makeup routine and one of my favorite products. 

It is the Lime Crime Prep & Prime Setting Spray which also works as a setting spray. It is a very lightweight spray with a very subtle sweetish scent to it. It's supposed to work for all skin types and helps with oil control.

You can use it before applying your makeup to prep the skin, or after makeup as a setting spray. I usually just spray it after my makeup and kinda set it with my beauty blender.

The bottle comes with 300ml and lasts for a loooong time. It does help my makeup to look great for a long time, giving my skin a healthy glow without looking shiny. It also minimizes pores.

It originally came in a pink & white box but I got rid of it. The bottle is fun and cute! I really like the aqua color with the pink and gold details.

I'd highly recommend this product if you like a dewy finish, not a matte one. This is not my first bottle and I'll defo buy it again once I run out of it. I've been really loving it since my mom gave it to me a few years ago.
