💋 Bissú Moisturizing Lipsticks | Review & Swatches |



 Bissú is a mexican brand with a big variety of makeup products, good quality and great prices. Even tho I've tried some of their products, I'm not super familiar with them. My bestie Ceci is tho and she included some of her products in my Advent Calendar last year. 

I have to say I've liked what I've tried so far, even tho I haven't used them as much as I wanted, since I don't wear much makeup these days cuz my face is covered with a mask most of the time.

Still, I wanna talk about these babies!

They are the Bissú Labial Humectante (moisturizing lipstick) and I got these 2 shades: #24  and #104. These are defo my favorite lipstick shades and they are perfect for an everyday look. 

#24, a peachy, nude-ish type of color




#104 is a beautiful mauve pink.



They have ingredients such as jojoba and vitamin e, to keep the lips soft and moisturized the formula is not sticky or thick at all.

These lippies are pigmented and they apply evenly, but they are not super long lasting. Which doesn't mean the durability is not good, they never claimed to be 24h lippies. And it's not bad for what you pay.

There are many colors to choose from and they also have a matte line. Even tho I like matte lipsticks, they tend to set on my lip lines and I just don't like that. That is also something I liked about these ones, they don't set on my lip lines.

All in all they are great, especially if your looking for something nice and affordable. I'd defo get more colors and I really want to get the chance to use these babies a lot more.

💋 Wet n Wild Mega Last High Shine | Review & Swatches |



Just when my posts were turning into food/drinks realted ones, I have another lipstick post. Sorry not sorry, hehe.

Thing is, I've been meaning to share it for a while now and for whatever reason it keeps getting postponed. It is the Wet n Wild Mega Last High Shine in a beautiful pink color called "Pinky Ring"


This line comes with 13 different shades with a creamy finish. They also have the matte versions which I believe also has 13 shades but the packaging is black. 

It may be a little obvious but the first thing that attracted me to this product was the super cute presentation! It is a very simple all-white package with a transparent top on the lid that helps you to see the color and, the cute lips in rose gold.


The lippie is super creamy, buttery and easy to apply. According to the product's description, it contains murumuru butter, mango butter, sunflower seeds and watermelon seeds oils to help nourish and moisture your lips.

The application is smooth, easy and lightweight, you can build up the color but the product is pigmented enough to give you an even look with just one layer. It is also very long lasting, fragrance free and super affordable.



I've only tried a few products from Wet n Wild but my experience with them has been good. They have good quality and really affordable prices.

💋 Maikohan Silky Fit Lip Tint Essence | Review & Swatches |



 Today we have the last product of the J-Beauty month. I have to say I really enjoyed sharing all these products with you all and I hope you did too. Having the oportunity of trying these goodies helped me to learn a lot more about Japanese beauty brands and their quality, it is as great as Korean products. I'm defo a fan now and I can't wait to find and try more of their products. Plus, they are super cute as well!!

This last product I'm gonna share is the SANA Japan Maikohan Silky Fit Lip Tint Essence, which is a semi-mate lip tint with a kind of velvety finish. The shade is "06 Sakuranbo" and it's a beautiful bright cherry pink.




As always, let's start with the packaging. It comes in a tube container that, in my opinion makes the application a little messy at the beginning because it's hard to control the amount of product that comes from the tube. It gets easier as you use it tho. It has a pretty flower print on the tube and the logo in gold. Simple but kinda elegant and pretty!



The lip tint has a very smooth and creamy texture that is new for me to find in a lip tint but, it's still very watery and not thick at all.



When the product dries, it has this soft velvety finish but the color remains as bright. It is super pigmented and long lasting.

Looking online it says that it is inspired by the Japanese "dye/blur" culture. I'm guessing is kind of like creating a blur, gradient look using your fingers. Both ways look really nice.


Having to wear a mask everytime I'm out makes it hard for me to wear liptick but, I can't wait to use it a lot more real soon.

💋 Kose Visée Crystal Duo Lipstick | Review & Swatches |



 I really like the gradient lips look. I've been loving it since it started trending in Korea, years ago. But truth is, I'm not good when it comes to this technique so, lippies especially made for it make it a lot easier for me. 

This Visée Crystal Duo Lipstick gives you that gradient effect with a glossy finish. It has a clear layer on the outside, that gives a shiny glossy effect and helps to blend the colored layer on the inside.


This lippie is the PK862 which is a pink shade with a coral-ish undertone and it's actually very mosturizing and works well without applying lipbalm, leaving your lips soft and moisturized for a long time. Plus, it doesn't settle on my lip lines, it doesn't have any scent and it doesn't feel thick on the lips.

The color is not super strong with one application. It does give you a nice and subtle pop of color but, you can always build up the color if you want it to look a little darker.


The presentation is really pretty! It has this kind of lace pattern that looks super elegant and girly. I love it!

Durability wise, it's good. You do have to reapply if you eat or drink something but, the color doesn't fade completely. It leave a nice hint of color on the lips.

SHISEIDO INTEGRATE Wide Look Eyes Duo Shades Eyeshadow | Review & Swatches |

Doing some research, I discovered that Intergrate, the brand of these eyeshadows, is a part of the Shiseido group. This eyeshadows are the SHISEIDO INTEGRATE Wide Look Eyes Duo Shades Eyeshadow.

"A makeup brand from Japan that targets women in their 20s and 30s, INTEGRATE offers high-quality, uncomplicated cosmetics for a pretty, natural look. Its first social contribution program, Global Sisters Project, was launched in November 2016 to support women in Japan and around the world through makeup. The brand is available mainly in Asian countries and regions such as Japan and Taiwan."

I’ve heard so many things about Japanese eyeshadows, and most people say they are not as pigmented as Korean or western brands. And that is also part of the style Japanese women have, more natural. That’s why I was surprised to see how beautiful and pigmented these two colors are.

As usual I want to start with the packaging, which is very clean and simple, yet girly and cute! It is hot pink with a transparent lid and I especially like the way the eyeshadows are presented. I love everything that has hearts in it, hehe. It doesn't come with a brush, applicator or mirror, which I'm ok with because I always like to use my own brushes. 



The one I have is PK373 "Pink" and like the name says, it is a very shimmery light pink along with a burgundy-ish shade. Perfect for the Fall - Winter seasons. 


What I liked about them is that even tho they are very shimmery, the colors actually show even when you blend them together.

those veins tho...

Durabily wise, they are great even without an eyeshadow primer (which I never really use), looking great and colorful almost all day long.

What else can I say? I've been loving them!

Salem Makeup "Ouija Evil Cat" Eyeshadow Palette | Review & Swatches |


Here comes another product from Salem Makeup, and it is this Ouija board eyeshadow palette.
It is called Ouija Evil Cat and it coms with 35 different shimmers.


I've been trying some of the colors and they are very pigmented for shimmers. The box is a plastic box, nothing too fancy, but I like the fact that it seals perfectly. It doesn't come with a mirror or brushes.

What can I say about the concept of this palette? It is just too cool, we have the Ouija board on the outside, the instructions of how to use the board on the inside and a sticker that simulates the plaque.



The colors include some earthy shades, golds, purples, pinks and a white one. Surprisingly I didn't use to wear many pink eyeshadows but for a little over a month now, I've been loving them. So even tho I'm not used to wear some of these shades, I've been having fun playing with them. I still need to try some of them tho.





They are pretty pigmented and durablity wise, they are pretty good. The color looks nice throughout the day, but they crease at the end of it. I have to say I never apply eyeshadow primer so, that could be why. 



I think this palette is great, is fun and it's also a cool thing to display. Annnnd, you get lots of quality shadows for a very good price.
