J Cat Lipfinity Matte Lip in LMK124 Wild Limo Rides

Hey lovelies!

Looking for a the perfect makeup partner for your Halloween party look? Then you might wanna check out the nearest J Cat store near you. This brand carries so many bold shades that I'm sure you'll find the product/s you need.

While I browsed their selections, I found this waterproof black liquid lipstick. I like going creative with my makeup once in a while so I thought I could get one so I could use it in one of my makeup experiments. It's pretty affordable at PhP 399.00 so my frugal self didn't hesitate as much to buy it. Haha!

Info from the website:

I enjoyed reading the names of the shades!

I've been using liquid lipsticks often and this one is just one of the dozens I currently have now. This one is special because it's the only black one! 

The packaging is simple. The material reminds me of that of the classic NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. BUT it's a clear plastic tube with a black cap. You get to see the real shade of the lippie.

It's equipped with a doe foot applicator. It's pretty slim that can make application very easy to control. It doesn't carry enough to cover both lips though so I do have to re-dip it to fully apply the product on my lips.

Here's a swatch. 

I like how black it is and how matte it is. However, the product going in the lines of my skin was concerning to be honest...

Good thing that on my lips, it did not bleed out! It looks pretty good. It does have minty-bubblegummy scent. At first I didn't like it because I wasn't used to it, but now it doesn't bother me anymore. Sometimes I even like it. 

The consistency is less creamy than what I'm used to. It can also be drying, but a good lip balm underneath can make a huge difference. 

This product can stay the whole day (well, the food you eat can affect it though) and it's transfer-proof and smudge-proof. It can really withstand any Halloween party! Wooot!

And that's all for now. What do you think of J Cat Lipfinity Matte Lip in Wild Limo Rides?

J Cat The BIG Eye Pencils in Truffle and Marshmallow

Hey everyone!

Sharing a swatch post regarding these eyeliners!

J Cat The BIG Eye Pencils
PhP 279.00 each
The shades are in Truffle and Marshmallow.

When I visited their store at BGC, it took a while for me  to decide what to buy. The vast color selection of their lipsticks and eyeliners were the ones that kept me so indecisive because I wanted so many but have a budget to get only a few. Anyway, I bought only two for the eyeliners and in this post I'll share my short thoughts about them.

But first, the packaging. Click to enlarge the photo to read the labels.

The packaging is a twist-type pencil/crayon type. Easy to use because you don't need to sharpen it. I like that the cap is clear to see the shade exactly so it's easier to locate in your stash. The design is too simple for me. The other products of J Cat have bold and lively designs compared to this one. 

Anyway, let's get to know the product further by reading the description from the website:

The Big Eye Pencil creates bold lines and has great colour payoff! This creamy pencil offers 18 opaque shades that glides easily on the eyes. It can be used as a base or eyeshadow itself. It blends very easily and doesn't smudge when it sets. You can create a look from natural to a full glam in minutes!

INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHTS

Hydration with Vitamin E, Free of Phthalate, Free of Triclosan, Free of GMOs, Free of Sulfate

Among the eighteen shades available, I picked these two because I think these shades are the ones I would use most often. They both can be great eyeshadow base and the truffle one is an excellent highlighter for the eyes. I like applying shimmery light shades at the inner corners of the lids, especially at the bottom to brighten them up.

So first, here's truffle.

It's a shimmery peachy pink shade. It's a shade I often wear in a daily basis because: A. I love the color and B. It's really wearable, but still eye-catching!

In one glide of the pencil, you get this payoff. It's highly pigmented!

And easily blended. Above photo when smudged lightly while the bottom one is when blended well.

It's so pretty! It blends smoothly and it flatters my warm skin well. 

However, I noticed that it gets removed easily. I tried waiting a while before trying to smudge it in case it would set and dry for longer wear, but it didn't. That means that it would fade easily on my oily skin. I guess it would be better as base for me. It would be nice if the finish was exactly like the swatch above because adding powdered eyeshadow will obviously change how it looks on its own.

Here's Marshmallow!

I think the name fits perfectly as it really reminds me of marshmallows!

It's like the usual marshmallow fluff! Haha! The pigmentation is awesome again!

When blended well

It blends beautifully and smoothly too but the creases on the lines of my hand are more obvious when I use this matte shade compared to the shimmery finish of Truffle. I tried using this as base and it works well in strengthening the intensity of the eyeshadow I used. It does not, however, lengthen the stay of my makeup. It started to crease on my lids after a couple of hours.

To cut this short, these pencils are really awesome when it comes to pigmentation and very easy to apply! I'm also happy to say that it's very affordable and now locally available. I don't completely agree with it's claim that it doesn't smudge because it does on my oily skin. Maybe if your skin is less oily than mind, then these might work better on you. 

I still like them nonetheless. I like using them on the lower lids where it wouldn't crease, especially Truffle! 

Have you tried the J Cat The BIG Eye Pencils? Which shade/s?

J.Cat Pout-holic Lipstick in PHL 108 Shaking My Head

Hello loves!

Feeling a bit more creative this summer? Why not go for a golden glow with gold lips??? I probably wouldn't wear it on an ordinary day, but I might if I go to a party. :P

I bought a gold lipstick when I stumbled in a J.Cat store. I haven't tried any of their products yet and I was curious about it because of the ads I saw in Facebook. So while browsing, instead of going for the usual colors I pick, I went for golds and blacks. I was quite impressed with the range of colors that the brand offers!

J.Cat Pout-holic Lipstick in PHL 108 Shaking My Head

I can't remember how much this is exactly. I think this is between PhP 200-300. I'll update the post once I've verified it. :)

When I saw the gold color, I just took one without hesitation. I just thought that I could use this in some of the crazy makeup experiments that I'm planning. 

Anyway, here's the product info from the labels around the tube:

Info from the website:

It's available in 18 shades!

The packaging is very simple. It's made of light plastic material. I do like the font selection but the red color isn't working for me. :(

Here's the tube. The gold, metallic shade is just beautiful!

swatch on hand

on the lips

The lipstick is pigmented. Awesome! I could imagine many looks I could do with this! 

I like that it has a sort of shiny, metallic finish but the texture is not glossy or too creamy. It reminds me of the textures of usual matte lipsticks.

I might not wear the pure gold lips at work but I can mix it with other lippies. The two photos above are matte red lipsticks with the J.Cat Pout-holic Lipstick in PHL 108 Shaking My Head applied on top.

And that's all for this post! I'll try to post some makeover I do using this gold lippie!

Cheers,
