LOTD: Melted Marshmallow

Hello everyone!

Sharing with you my Lipstick/s of the Day! :)

I love peachy pink shades (if it's not obvious enough on our website name). So most of my makeup is in that shade, especially my lipsticks. But even though I already have a number of peachy pink lipstick shades, I tend to mix and match some to get a specific shade. Here's one of my favorite mix:

I mix my Laneige Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick in Orang Bloom

and OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Laguna Beach.

And this is the result!

I apply the Ofra Liquid lipstick first and once it dries, I add the Laneige Lipstick.

I really like this combination. The peachy-ness of the the Laneige lippie gives warmth to the OFRA Liquid lipstick. It results to a soft, creamy, warm pink shade like a melted marshmallow! The liquid lippie also helps in prolonging the staying power of the lipstick so it can last almost the whole day! Yay!

So what do you think of this lippie look?


Cheers,

OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Laguna Beach

Hey dears!

I got a new lippie that I'm super obsessed with!

And this is the first product I've used from this brand. I actually wasn't aware of the brand before I received this from my August Glamourbox.

OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Laguna Beach

Php 950.00

So let's get to know the product better from the packaging... errr... that's just the ingredients list. :P

And more info from the website:

One step full lip color that does not feather. These vibrant colors will give you a vivacious look.They are creamy and soft in texture, moisturizing the lips and creating a long lasting lipstick effect. All shades contain antioxidants and Vitamin E while the formula provides a lightweight layer of lasting color to make you feel fresh all day. Color will last in a perfect condition up to five hours without eating or drinking.

So my first thoughts were... it's Php 950.00??? That's quite expensive! I dunno much about the brand so I was really shocked that this liquid lipstick costs that much. It doesn't look like it. The packaging is sooo lacking in the design factor and the materials don't look like anything special either. In other words, it looks cheap. I guess I don't feel like it looks like the price. But it does carry 8g of product so that's quite a lot for a lipstick. :)

I was just hoping that the quality will make up for the packaging... and I'm very happy to say that it does!

The applicator is a doe foot applicator. This can cover my lips. No need to double dip!

A swatch on my hand

You can definitely see the beautiful creamy texture of the lipstick. The pigmentation is super awesome too. This reminds me of the ELF Studio Lip Stain and the NYX Soft Matte Cream Lipstick. Click here for my comparison. The thick pigmentation is like NYX's but the buttery consistency is definitely like ELF's!

I love the shade so much! This is one of my all-time favorite shade of pink. This lipstick became an instant go-to lippie for my everyday makeup.

Here's the lipstick applied on my lips.

It emphasizes the lines of my lips but I really don't mind that. If you do, then I suggest you skip the matte finish and just add some gloss.

This liquid lipstick is super long-lasting. It can last the whole day and will only start to fade when you eat or drink. I'm very impressed and I am an absolute fan of the shade! And oh, the scent is super yummy vanilla! My favorite! :D :D :D

If it weren't for the price, I'd get more shades but I think I will have to refrain from buying many... maybe one or two shades only... for now...? Haha! Or I could always go for a cheaper alternative. ;)

Anyway, what are your thoughts on the OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Laguna Beach? 

Cheers,

Unboxing: Glamourbox Flawless Beauty Box (August 2014)

Hey everyone!

My Glamourbox for the month arrived today.

I was curious about the "Flawless Beauty" box because... well, I want my face to clear up from my acne problems and thought that maybe the box would contain an anti-acne skincare products or a foundation or concealer makeup. Either way is a win for me.

So without further a do, let's open the box, shall we?

Names of the products with the prices

OFRA Cosmetics Long Lasting Lipstick in Laguna Beach

Php 950.00

Not aware of this brand but it really looks interesting. The shade is totally beautiful and I can't wait to try it out.

Ellana Minerals Brilliance and Lip Scrub in Strawberry Vanilla—Php165

Ellana Minerals Multi-Purpose Mineral Powder in Halo—Php160

Another duo that I'd like to try out. I already know how the Multi-Purpose Mineral Powders work but I don't have the Halo shade yet. So I'm glad I can get to try it out.

Belo Essentials AcnePro Pimple-Fighting Gel Face Wash—Php 99.75

Belo Essentials AcnePro Pimple-Fighting Treatment Toner—Php 79.75

Belo Essentials AcnePro Pimple-Fighting Pimple Gel—Php 149.75

Already tried these and well, not really that suited for my skin. :(

TRESemmé Trial Pack Smooth and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

Full size are Php 275.00 each

Got this before already... I guess these can be handy on travels...

Bonus product:

Beauty Republic Original Dramatic BB Tinted Cream and Dramatic Green Touch BB Tinted Cream

Regular Size is Php 695.00 each

Another unfamiliar brand. Gonna try these as well, I guess. :P

And that's all. To be honest, I'm not jumping up and down with joy with this one... I guess I do like a couple of the products but I probably just expected better. I mean, I got more than the amount I paid but I've already tried most of the items included and I didn't really like some of them. But I really appreciate that most of the stuff included are full-size! I do think this is a good box it's just that I already tried half of the products included. :P

I still paid for another box so hopefully the next one is better. I already feel like I am cursed when it comes to subscription boxes... I don't seem to get the really good ones I see from other blogs. LOL Oh well. :P

Cheers,
