💋 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~! 💋

💋 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.

Let your skin glow! Revlon Photoready Rose Glow Hydrating Primer | Review |

I've been using this product for a while now and after repurchasing it, I realized that I never actually shared it here, which is weird because I like it a lot.

The Revlon Photoready Rose Glow Hydrating Primer "001 Rose Quartz" has been one of my favorite primers for a little over a year now because of the beautiful glow it gives to my skin and makeup.

Product description:
"Super-lightweight this one boost skin radiance for a lit-up finish.
Water-based and infused with nourishing oil-beads to leave skin hydrated for 24 hours."

It is true its water-based formua is super lightweight and it absorbs into the skin pretty quick. The oil-beads melt as you apply the product, leaving a slightly sticky feeling that fades away after a couple of minutes.

Even tho it looks really pink when you first see it, it only leaves a nice golden glow once it's applied on the skin, it doesn't change or affect the color of your base makeup. Since it's a primer, you have to apply it before your base and something that I've noticed, even if it's not mentioned in the product description, is that it minimizes my pores too.

It has a very soft rose scent that I have to say, it is not my favorite but, it goes away after a while.
I have some matte foundations and I like to use this product with them because I usually like to go for a dewy, glowy skin look. It's also great to use when your skin is not looking its best and you want a little pick-me-up, even without makeup. I get many compliments on my skin whenever I use this product.

I want to mention that the glow it gives you it's not like an oily shine kind of thing. I have combination skin but I do think this product can work for skin types too. It is very gentle and the effect it gives is soft and it kinda highlights the right spots on your skin, making it look healthy and radiant. And if you want, you can only apply it on certain spots as a highlighter.

Left: Face without the primer.
Right: Face after applying the primer.

This is how my makeup looks after using the primer.
I didn't use any highlighter.

It is very long lasting! I'm not sure about 24hrs but the effect on my skin lasts throughout the day, and that is something I appreciate.

The applicaton is really clean and easy, since it comes with a dropper and, you don't need to use too much product to get a nice finish. A little goes a long way. I think one bottle lasted me a whole year.

I also gave one to my aunt when I first bought it and she loved it too! Now we repurchase it everytime we run out of it because, it really is a must.

Drugstore Beauty Haul

I can't remember the last time I did a makeup/beauty haul. Last month Walmart had a 2x1 in makeup and big sales lately so, I've been doing some shopping and I'm really excited to share them with you because I'm pretty happy with everything I got. I gave away some of the things I bought in 2x1 sales tho, so you won't be seeing them in this haul.
Plus, it's been a while since I walked through the makeup section in supermarkets.

I barely wear makeup these days but I've been testing them to write proper posts about some of them later this month.

Let's take a look at what I got:

First we have two liquid lippies from Maybelline. Both are from the Stay Matte Ink line and... both are pink! Haha. Even tho I do like matte lipsticks, they don't usually look good on my lips because of how dry they are, still I buy them. Hehe.
But it's different with this ones, they are creamy enough to look good on my dry lips.

"Inspirer" and "Dreamer"

Then we have the Revlon Photoready Rose Glow Primer. It is not my first time buying this product but, I ran out of it and had to repurchase it. Is defo one of my favorite primers atm.

I always try to buy mascaras during this 2x1 sales. Last year I got the L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Black Mascara along with others I gave away and this time I got the Maybelline Lash Sensational waterproof mascara.
It is waterproof, which is good enough for me. I think I've mentioned this before but, I'm not too picky when it comes to mascaras. Plus, the color of the packaging is lovely. Hehe.

Next is the Revlon Ultra HD Vynil Lip Polish lippie. I couldn't find it for sale anymore. I fell in love with this particular color after my friend Ceci got it. For some reason this color was sold out everywhere. So I had to get the Wonder Woman version of it. The color is just gorgeous, I just have to see how good it actually is. I've seen and heard many good comments about this line so, we'll see.

"Birthday Suit"

 Lastly we have a product that is not makeup but is still beauty related. And it's the Pond's Sensitive Micellar Water. I love to use micellar water to remove my makeup but, I haven't really tried this one. I'm cutrrently using the Nivea MicellAir, I need to finish before trying it. But the price was way too good to let it pass. I'm looking forward to try it tho.

And there you have it, you'll be seeing more from some of these products during the month with reviews and swatches.

I'll see you soon~ ♡

FOTD: 2 looks using the Sailor Moon x ColourPop eyeshadows

Hey there dollies!
I barely wear makeup these days but I thought it'd be fun to play with it a little and create 2 different looks using some these eyeshadows.
My makeup is never too dramatic, I try to keep things light and pretty, hehe. I tried to choose the shades I wouldn't normally go for, whch are mostly bright pink, yellow and orange. I'll list the rest of the products I used for each look.

If you want to read more about this palette, click here! There's a separate post dedicated to it with swatches and all that fun stuff.

Look #1

This first look is pretty natural even tho I used some bright colors on the eyes. That's why I wanted to keep the rest of it kinda neutral.

For the eyes I used "Justice" as a base and "Love" on the outer corner of the eye. And I applied some "Silver Miracle" to the lower eyelid to add a pop of shimmer. 

I have to say I love the shimmers in this palette.

Sadly, my camera barely catches the shimmers. 

Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:

☆ Miniso Mini Pony Shell Makeup Base #02 Pink

☆ Mary Kay At Play Matte Liquid Makeup "Very light"

☆ Bissú Eyebrow Pencil "Lechero"

☆ Essence Velvet Matt Lipstick #23

☆ MAC Powder Blush "Flower"

☆ L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara "Black 373"

☆ Avon Super Definition Liquid Eyeliner "Black"

☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"

☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

Look #2

Even tho this look and the first one look pretty similar, the shades I used are completely different. I applied "Moon Castle" as a base, "Tuxedo Rose" on the outer corner to give it a pop of color and "Mare Serenitatis" in the lower eyelid.

Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:

☆ MAC Studio Match Master Foundation SPF15 "NC25"

☆ Essence I ♡ Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara

☆ L.O.C.K. Color Lock n' Tap Cushion Blush "1 Coral Pink"

☆ Revlon Photo ready Rose Glow Primer

☆ Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick "875 Vivid Rose"

☆ NYX Eyebrow pencil "EP01 Light brown"

☆ Mary Kay liquid eyeliner "black"

☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"

☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

I've tried the other colors before because I do feel comfortable wearing gold and purple on my eyes. Let me know if you'd like to see some looks with those too.
