Pink Sugar Creamy Matte Lipstick in Girl Next Door

Hello dearies!

I always tell my friends to have at least one nude lipstick in your makeup kits. It's like your little black dress because you can never go wrong when you use a nude lippie, whether you're just shopping for groceries or attending a wedding!

The tricky part here is finding the right shade. Some nude lipsticks will make you look pale, while some do not compliment your skin and will just look grey.

So far I've seen some that works great for me and I think I like the pinkish nudes the best, but I also love wearing peachy nudes like this one...

Maybelline ColorSensational Creamy Matte Brown Nude Lipstick in Daringly Nude

Hello dearies!

I found a matte lipstick that can mute your lips to emphasize a dramatic smokey eye! Check out the...

I was able to get it for only PhP 199.00 from its original price of PhP 299.00 when they were on sale at BeautyMNL. I bought three actually. The other two are Clay Crush and Burgundy Blush. Haha!

I always think that one should always have a nude lippie in one's makeup stash. This one from Maybelline is a good addition to mine. The color is a bit brighter and lighter than what I'm used to, but it looks pretty good, especially if I want more emphasis to my eyes.

It's like a mixture of light brown and peach and it's pretty close to the lightness of my skin so it is a good nude shade for me.

I also love that it's matte! I'm a big fan of matte lipsticks.

Check out the swatch below:

I like the consistency of this matte lipstick because it's creamy enough to glide easily on my lips. It doesn't make my lips chappy too. Staying power is pretty okay, but reapplication is necessary after eating or drinking.

Maybelline ColorSensational Creamy Matte Brown Nude Lipstick in Burgundy Blush

Hey loves!

Burgundy lipsticks are getting more popular lately because of the fall season. Even though we don't have fall in the Philippines, we are still heavily influenced by Western fashion and beauty ideals and I'm actually liking it because I love wearing dark, bold lipsticks! Haha!

That's why when Maybelline launched their matte brown lipsticks, one of the lipsticks that I bought was this...

I bought it for only PhP 199.00 from its original price of PhP 299.00 when BeautyMNL had them on sale.

It has that sexy burgundy shade and it's matte! Perfect for an evening night out!

And on my lips

That's me wearing the lipstick (and that's my bro!).

I really like the whole ColorSensational Creamy Matte lipstick line from Maybelline. They are all pigmented, has medium-long staying power, and the color selections are really good. It can be a bit drying but with the right care on your lips (like a good matte lip balm and occasional use of lip scrubs), that wouldn't be a problem. 

I've been receiving compliments from friends when I use this lippie and I personally love it!

Maybelline ColorSensational Creamy Matte Brown Nude Lipstick in Clay Crush

Hey loves!

The nude and brown lipstick trend is growing popular everyday and I'm so happy that this is happening because I LOVE wearing those shades. Makeup brands have recently been launching lipstick lines that particularly carry nudes to dark browns. One of them is Maybelline and I bought three of their lipsticks when they had them on promo at BeautyMNL.

Here's one of the lipsticks I bought...

Maybelline ColorSensational Creamy Matte Brown Nude Lipstick in Clay Crush

I was able to get it for only PhP 199.00 from its original price of PhP 299.00. It was such a good deal that I bought three. Haha!

Here's the product info from the website:

Go creamy matte for bold impact! A burst of statement-making color meets a surge of creamy texture.

And here's the swatch on arm.

It's pigmented and the consistency really is creamy. I think this is the creamiest consistency that I've tried from all the matte lipsticks I've used, BUT it still delivers the matte finish that I want.

I LOVE this color. It's the nude-peach shade that I've been looking for. It compliments my warm skin very well compared to when I use pink-nude lippies... well, that's what I think... you be the judge and see how it looks on me on the pic below!

Clay Crush easily became my favorite among the three Creamy Matte Brown Nude Lipstick that I bought. It's the shade that I can use any time and that is why it became a staple in my kikay kit too!

Pink Sugar Creamy Matte Lipstick in Sangria

Hello dears!

I love wearing dark lipsticks during rainy days... it just goes well with the gloomy weather. Here's one that I am currently wearing...

Pink Sugar Creamy Matte Lipstick in Sangria

I bought this online at BeautyMNL last February for PhP 349.00. I was just browsing the site to see what else there is to buy. I usually go for products on sale, but Pink Sugar is a brand that I was curious about. It's pretty new and it's locally made so I would love to give their products a try. I rarely see dark lippie shades from drugstore brands so Sangria is something very exciting to me. :)

Info from the BeautyMNL's website:

CLAIM TO FAME: A semi-matte lipstick that delivers long-lasting color

FAST FACTS: Covers lips in gorgeous color with a soft matte finish; highly pigmented formula glides on smoothly; formulated with vitamin E and shea butter to moisturize, nourish, and soften lips during use; comes in 10 bold shades

PERFECT FOR: All day lip lusciousness

HOW TO USE: Twist to dispense lipstick. Apply evenly to lips straight from tube or using a lip brush for a more defined look. Try a two-toned look for added dimension.

Pink Sugar is brand-new local beauty brand for Pinays of all ages. If you’re fierce, fun, and quality-conscious but on a tight budget, we dare you not to fall in love with this entire line. Marked by catchy names and creative packaging, each product provides good-for-you benefits in a wide selection of wearable colors curated by makeup experts to complement Filipina skin. Pink Sugar products are free of parabens and not tested on animals.

I didn't check for swatches when I purchased the lippie online. I was just drawn to the dark shade. It also states that it is a matte lipstick that convinced me further to get it.

When it arrived, I was concerned of the metallic sheen that it gives. The shade still looks pretty cool though.

Swatch on hand

When swatched, it's like the sweet Sangria drink—a mixture of red wine, brandy, and fruits. I did find the swatch I made on my hand lighter than I expected. Good thing that the color is buildable as seen in the photos below.

Swatches on my lips

It's not the dark shade that I expected but I still like it. The metallic shade that I was worried about turned out to be a nice effect on my lips. It gives dimension to the matte-ness of the lippie.

This still doesn't solve my thirst for a nice, dark, matte lipstick, but it is still a great addition to my lipstick stash. 

What I've observed while wearing this shade is that it doesn't make my lips dry even though it's matte and it stays for quite a long while (unless I eat food that's oily or has soup like ramen). With these in mind, I think I'll buy more shades from Pink Sugar! :)
