NOTD: Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Nail Enamel in Cherry

Hi guys!

Christmas is just around the corner! 

Been seeing a lot of reds and greens around which made me want to paint my nails with such color. And apparently, my officemate has the shade I was looking for!

Tadaaaa!

Super red and shiny! Very sexy!

Revlon Top Speed Dast Dry Nail Enamel in Cherry

I've only tried few Revlon Nail products and so far, all that I have used were really good! They are easy to apply and have really nice shades!

It just needed 2 coats to achieve this color. It's already shiny as is but a clear top coat is a must since it chips fast by itself.

That's all for now!

Cheers!

My NYX Black Label Lipsticks

Hey everyone!

NYX lippies have been very popular these days.
I've seen quite a number of blogs featuring them and really loving them.
Even my sister and I are in-love with NYX lippies. It started with their soft matte lip creams, then to the round lipsticks and now I will be sharing with you our mini collection of black label lipsticks from NYX.

Why do we love these lipsticks?

They are pigmented. We really love lipsticks that have bold colors. That when you apply it, you get the color you want in one or two strokes of the product.
These lippies don't make our lips dry or chappy. We sometimes just apply it while at home as a lip balm. It just works for us! Haha!
We also love that these lipsticks are affordable. They deliver the quality we like and we only have to pay less compared to some brands. Only downside is that they aren't sold in local malls. All purchases are made online.
The scent of the lipsticks are soooo good! It's sort of a fruity smell. We just love it!
Plus, the packaging is so elegant! :)

So here are our little collection of the NYX Black Label Lipsticks.
We own 6 of them for now:

Diva

Dusty Rose

Midnight Dinner

Hot Pink

Cherry

Brick

I've provided some pictures of swatches just for you!

on skin

on paper

Diva is probably my favorite. Very neutral. Looks good in most of my makeup looks especially with smokey eyes.

Desert Rose is slightly darker than Diva. Nude-Pink tone that's also good with smokey eyes!

I love using Midnight DInner when I do simple looks. Great for everyday makeup!

Hot Pink is like the Black Label Lipstick version of Addis Ababa from the Soft Matte Lip Cream line.

Very red, hot, Cherry red. Makes your lips looking sexy. Rawr!

Brick has a peach-orange tone. Great to have in the collection considering 2012's color is Tangerine Tango! :D

So that's about it.
I'm looking forward on getting more. I would like to get my hands on Orchid.
And if you're wondering where we purchased these, its from Digital Traincase
while some were from Girl talk.

Review: Nivea Lipbalms

Hey girls!

Chapped Lips. Don't you just hate that? 

And since the weather is getting cooler recently, our lips can get a little chappy at times.

That's why I always bring a trusty lip balm with me at all times!

I've tried quite a number of lip balms. Some were good but some weren't.

  How do I determine which lip balm is good? Well here are the most important features of any lip balm for me: 

♥  It MOISTURIZES!!!

♥  Its scent (I don't like overpowering ones)

♥  Not too buttery or slippery on the lips

And all of these characteristics are present in these little tubes from the NIVEA Lip care.

These tubes were sent to us to review. I've tried all of them and also asked some trusted friends to try them out as well to get their opinions.

Here's what we all think about the these products:

PROS:

• It moisturizes.
• It's a good base for lipsticks. The colors aren't too loud and it's not too glossy.
• The scent is there but not over-powering.
• It comes in different flavors!
• It very affordable. Around Php100 or less.
• It's highly available in Watsons and leading supermarkets and drugstores.
• Cute packaging. Very easy to carry around.

CONS:

• Nothing so far. :P

I've also provided individual swatches for each tubes. Some have added feed backs too. I've also put the ingredients and what the product promises to give.

My sis is currently using this one.

Her feed back: It's really a good lip balm. It prevents dry lips and acts as a good base for lipsticks. It performs well but I don't consider it a potential HG lip balm.

It gives a dark red shimmer on the lips

♥♥♥

My Feed Back: I love its rosy scent. I love the scent of roses! :)

It gives a sheer pink shimmer on my lips.

♥♥♥

My feed back : Probably my favorite of the 4. I love strawberry lip balms and the sheer red color makes my lips look healthy!

It gives a sheer red shimmer on the lips.

My bestfriend, Liz, is currently using this.

Her Feed Back : It makes my lips look pale and very shimmery so i don't think I can wear it alone and without other makeup. I guess it would suit women with fairer skin.

It's gives a very shimmery pale pink color on my lips

There you go!
