Hey all!

Whenever we can, my sister (who is currently living in Sidney) and I give each other makeup that is not available in the area we are in. So when I was in Japan, I bought her some eye makeup and she, on the other hand, give me items that she bought from AU. She's able to give me more (thanks!) because most products that can be bought in the Philippines are things that she's already familiar with.

Anyway, here's one from a brand that I guess I'm not completely familiar with. I've only used one of its products so far...

The products from this brand are out of my budget to be honest and that is why I only get to try them when my sis gives me some. :P

I think this particular one belonged to one of the sets she bought some months back. There's another shade that came along with it that I'll post sometime soon. 

If ever I'm correct that this is from a set and that this packaging (in a tube that's pretty much like a lip gloss) is just for that limited edition set, then it's safe to say that those that are in the tub versions are the regular-sized products. Correct me if I'm wrong though. :P

They are available in six shades.

Product info from the the Mecca website:

A lip-loving, skincare-rich balm that also imparts a beautiful tint to the lips.

This is the applicator. It's a doe-foot applicator that makes the product easy to apply.

Here's a swatch on my hand

and on my lips

I find the pinkness to be too pale on me. It's the kind of soft pink that's just too light for my warm skin tone. I would use this on top of another lipstick so that I don't look too pale.

What I love about this is how great it is as a lip balm. It helps hydrate the lips when they are dry. What the product description says is no joke because I've used this on my lips when they were getting flaky and after a couple of hours, my lips feel a lot smoother. And it smells great too!

And that's all for this swatch post. I hope you can stay tune for the other shade! ;)

Cheers,
