Collection Cosmetics Lasting Colour in Sweet Tart

Hello everyone!

So my Batanes travel blog post will be delayed because of some missing photos (sorry). So I'll just share with you a swatch post for the meantime. 

Collection Cosmetics Lasting Colour

A tube of this lipstick is Php 199.00.

The shade I got is No. 8 Sweet Tart.

I got this lipstick in my Sample Room Inspire Goodie Bag last month.

So here are some product info from the website:

- Long lasting lipstick locks colour to lips all day.

- Enriched with SPF15.

- Soft, smooth formula.

- Available in 11 shades.

The packaging is very simple. I don't have much to say about it... I guess I like the metallic hot pink touch. :P

So here's the lipstick. It smells like a sweet pastry with a hint of cherry. Not really a fan of the scent.

The color is a very warm pink. It's actually close to being neon if you apply it boldly... well that's how I see it.

The lippie tends to sit on the lines of my lips and it really exposes any dry areas. Better to blot it first and if you want a bolder color, apply a small amount again.

But I think I'd rather wear it like this. I've blotted my a couple of times and achieved this color. It's more wearable and it suits my skin better.

Staying power is average. Probably a good 2-3 hours with little eating or drinking.

Overall, not much of a fan of this particular lipstick but I am willing to try out more products from Collection Cosmetics. I've only tried a few so I'm still curious to see how their other products perform.

Have you tried this lipstick? What about other Collection Cosmetics products? 

Cheers,

DAWN

March 2014 Collective Haul

Hello dears!

Did some major shopping this month... again. :P 

I pretty much don't have any savings for the month. Yikes!
But anyway, I'll be sharing with you some products that will be reviewed soon. :)

I can't remember the exact prices of some products so I just wrote a rough estimate. Will update the post once I've seen the receipts. Lol

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in No. 27

The SA was so nice and gave me sample sachets of other Missha products!

 I bought some small containers where I can store some products that are almost finished up to save space. A set of 2 containers are priced around Php 15.00.

 Eyelash Glue

I don't usually wear falsies but the lash glues that I have dried up now.

 L.A. Colors Diamond Shine Lipgloss in Golden Peach

More or less Php 150.00

 Kanebo KATE Eyeshadow

More or less around Php 800.00.

I was so interested in getting some products from Kanebo but while I was at the counter, I realized that I don't really have anything in mind to buy... But I just fell in-love with the color combination in this palette so I bought it. :P

Peripera was on sale and all their products were at 20% off.

 Peripera Very Nice Pen Eyeliner

It promises that it stay on the waterline. Awesome right? Hope it's true!

Peripera Flash Color Eyes

This product gives that snowy white shade. It looks so pretty!

 Peripera My Color Lips in No. 9 Pink Plum

I think this is one of the most beautiful lipstick packaging I've seen!

 Maybelline Color Tattoo

It's around Php 400.00. I've heard and read a lot of raves about this product so I want to try it out myself.

 Collection COsmetics Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder

16 hours wear? Pretty impressive claim that I just have to see if it works.

 Orly French Manicure

My nails keep getting yellow from all the cheap polishes I used so I bought a branded one for a change. And I even bought this awesome two-in-one product from Orly as well. :D

I need closed shoes that are very comfortable and this is SUPER comfy!

Bought this just for makeup experiments! :P

 Maybelline Lip Polish by Color Sensational - Php 349.00

This lippie reminds me a lot of my favorite glosses from LipFusion. If this works as good, then this would do since LipFusion isn't available in the Philippines.

I've never used black polish before and this has pretty glitters! :P

 Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss in Rockstar

Php 139.00 regular price

I thought it would be as opaque as the color you see at the packaging but it's pretty transparent. But oh well. :P

 In2It Nail Colour

Regular Price was P100+ but was discounted and got this for P77.75.

 Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Pressed Mineral Blush Duo in Contouring Bronzer and Sheer Gold Highlighter

Php 450.00

Because proper contour and highlight makes all the difference!

 The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion SPF 15

Got it at 20% off at Php 680.00.

I was out of day moisturizer and I like that this mattifies as well as gives SPF 15.

 And I also got some goodies from the recent BDJ Box Social. LOVE the free CoverGirl Mascara!

And finally, bought these acrylic makeup cases at Landmark. I wanted to make my dressing table to look cleaner and more organized.
