Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in Celebrity Skin

Hello loves!

I've mentioned in a post that it's only recently that I was able to try any of Jeffree Star's cosmetics. I opted to try the liquid lipstick because that's the one that I've seen many raved about.

The first product I reviewed from the brand was a gift and the one I'll share in this post is my personal purchase...

Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me Power Pout Moisturizing Lip Lacquer in Hear Me Roar

Hello loves!

I'm currently taking a break from matte liquid lipsticks and currently enjoying creamier and shinier lippies. I just find that it looks more fun and exciting compared to the classier vibe that matte gives off.

I still love bold shades though so I have been reaching to this product a lot when I'm in a mood for a striking lip color...

Flormar Silk Matte Liquid Lipstick in Undressed

Hey dearies!

The grey skies during the past season made me want to add color to my makeup and I usually do that to my eye makeup. And whenever I have a pop of bold colors on my eyes, I usually pair it with a nude lipstick. Here's one lippie that I use...

The Body Shop Metal Lip Liquid in Pink Nickel

Hello dear!

Do you also love rocking metallic lippies? 

Although I'm still a huge fan of mattes, I still want to have fun with other looks. Metallic lipsticks are one of the looks I turn to often because they are long-lasting and they just give that extra glamorous shine without being glossy!

One of my favorite shades to use, which I think is also perfect for the summer, is...

Careline Melted Metallic Lipstick

Hey dolls!

It's 2018!!! Woot! Time just moves so fast. I can't believe 2017 just flew by! 

Anyway, I'm hoping this year would be hell of a lot better and I wish that we can all reflect and appreciate what had happened in the past year/s and make better choices and do meaningful actions this new year. Yay!

And I would like to start 2018 for our blog with a colorful post by sharing the swatches of...

Three Careline Melted Metallic Lipsticks!

Careline Matte Liquid Lipsticks (Arm and Lip Swatches)

Hello loves!

So I've been posting swatches of a couple of matte liquid lipsticks from Careline that I was able to bring home during an event I attended a few months ago. During the said event, I was able to get a swatch of all the available shades, even the metallic ones too! I was very impressed with the pigmentation and how lightweight these matte lippies are. And the thought that you can get these at such an affordable price made me more excited to blog about them.

Just a couple of months ago, I received a package containing all of the shades. Though I've already shared the swatches during my post about the event, I would love to share them again in better lighting as well as how they look when I apply them on my lips.

I received twelve shades of the matte liquid lipsticks and three melted metallic lipsticks.

Careline Matte Liquid Lipstick in Craving

Hey dearies!

A few weeks back, I received the entire collection of Careline's Matte Liquid lipstick line and their three Melted Metallic shades as well. This made me sooo happy because this particular collection made me really excited when I attended their event last August that showcased their newest products and also those that will come out soon.

For today's post, let me share with you the swatch of one of their shades...

Careline Matte Liquid Lipstick in Craving

You can buy this for PhP 210.00 at leading department stores and selected Watsons branches.

You can read my previous post regarding these lipsticks in my previous post. For more product details, here's a quote from the press release about the Matte Liquid Lipsticks:

The Careline Matte Liquid Lipsticks (P195 introductory price, P210 regular price) boasts of 12 gorgeous shades that range from nudes to dramatic blues and purples. Packaged in sleek clear tubes that display the lip color, the formula is lightweight, fast-drying, long-lasting, waterproof and transfer-proof once set. While it's opaque in a single swipe, the liquid lipstick's light formula allows it to be layered on to build a more dramatic color.

I would describe the shade Craving as a warm, milk chocolate color. 

As mentioned in previous post: "It's housed in a clear, plastic tube. It looks very simple and what I like about it is that even if Careline is a brand that caters to a younger audience aka tweens, this particular product doesn't have that cutesy, youthful design and instead looks more universal or is appropriate for any age group."

Below is the applicator:

Unlike most doe-foot applicators from other liquid lipsticks I have, this one doesn't carry as much product so I have to re-dip it to cover both lips entirely. I do appreciate the slimness of it because it makes application easy.

Below is the swatch:

And here's how it looks on my lips.

It's probably the lighting that made it a bit warmer, but I do notice that I prefer cooler toned lipsticks when I use darker shades. There is a different brown shade from the collection that I like better that I'll share with you pretty soon.

What I like about these lipstick lipsticks is how lightweight it feels on the lips as well as how long-lasting it is. Plus, don't forget how affordable each tube costs!

So what do you think of the Careline Matte Liquid Lipstick in Craving?

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 at the tube:

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?

Cheers,

NEW SHADES ADDED: Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Lip in Luxe Liquid Lipstick Collection

Hey loves!

I am soooo excited to share with you this news regarding one of my favorite liquid lipsticks. I was actually surprised and excited when I saw their Facebook ad featuring the new shades of Ellana Mineral Cosmetic's Lip in Luxe Liquid Lipstick range. As some of you may know, I bought the first four shades last December. I think I bought it a few days after they were first released! Haha! You can check them out HERE. Those shades consisted of mostly nude-ish colors and a bold, blue-toned red (which became an instant favorite). Now, Ellana added more colors to this collection—they are a mix of rosy hues and sexy reds.

I was given four shades by brand owner, Theresa Carbonel-Buenaflor. I was so surprised when I received a message from her telling me this generous offer. I've been a fan of their products since the first time I used them and their liquid lipsticks have been one of my favorites. I've been meaning to buy them before I learned that they'll give me some of the shades. I just feel so fortunate that I want to spread more joy to my readers by sharing with you the swatches and what to expect from these new beautiful lippies.

Two weeks ago, I received the package containing these four tubes. Since then, I used them almost every time I go out of the house! 

Just like what it says on the box, I gotta start each day with my favorite lippie and a beautiful smile—and that's what I did for the past two weeks! 

It's pretty much the same formula as before:

Creamy Matte

Smudge-proof—it lasts all day!

Waterproof

Talc-free

Cruelty-free

Made with vegan ingredients

I know that wearing matte liquid lipsticks can dry the lips and make them chap, but I can honestly say that Ellana's liquid lipsticks are one of the few matte lippies that I've used that do not dry my lips as much. Just exfoliate and moisturize your lips and apply this and achieve a perfect pout.

I also love that it has a life span of three years! Hooray! 

The shades that I will be sharing with you are

(From right to left)

Love is the Answer

Love is Noble

Love is Pure

Love is Sincere

There are actually five new shades but one of them, Love is the Reason, was already out of stock. Don't worry though, I still plan on buying one to complete my collection! ;)

The packaging is still the same with the clear tube with gold labels and a black cap. I like that the tube is cuboid or a rectangular cube. It sets it apart from most liquid lipsticks that have cylindrical shapes.

It's equipped with a doe-foot applicator. I like this because it carries enough product to coat both lips without redipping. I sometimes add another coat for a longer staying power.

Now, for the swatches:

Love is the Answer, Love is Noble, Love is Pure, Love is Sincere

I test the staying power of these liquid lipsticks by smudging and introducing substances...

Rubbing the swatches didn't do anything on the swatches.

Rubbing while wet with water also didn't do anything. Waterproof--check!

If you use mild cleansers like Physiogel, well, let me tell you that that's not enough to remove these babies! Rubbing it with Physigel cleanser didn't even create a smudge from any of the shades.

Finally, I used a makeup remover (oil-based) and it finally moved.

I had to massage the makeup remover a few times to completely remove the swatches.

So if you like long-lasting makeup, then these liquid lipsticks are the things that you might want to check out. All of the shades can last the whole day on me, except maybe when I eat something soup-based like ramen or I pig out on oily things like fried chicken (ha ha ha!).

 

Now I'll share with you individual photos of the lippies on my lips and how I look wearing them, starting with the pinks...

Love is the Answer

It has an old rose shade.

I love wearing this shade! It's not as vibrant as the reds but it has this classy feel to it.

Love is Noble

It's like a mix of a dark fuchsia and plum shades

I like how it compliments my warm skin. 

Love is Pure

It's a beautiful persian red shade.

I love this color! It's not a common red lipstick shade! I like me some blue-toned reds, but this is just a different kind of red and I really, really like it!

Love is Sincere

It's the classic red! 

It's a red that I can use for any occassions! 

These babies costs PhP 499.00. I find these liquid lipsticks as good investments, especially if you're an on-the-go person because it's easy to apply and lasts long. It's of good quality, quite affordable, and has a life span of three years. With all these in mind, what's not to like? If you're scared that it will dry your lips, continuous use can do that. BUT moisturizing with a lip balm and exfoliating your lips can keep your lips soft and smooth. If you have chappy lips, these will make the dryness more obvious. So take care of your lips and these liquid lipsticks will look like perfection! It can also double as a cheek tint, but I have yet to try that. I usually wear medium-heavy coverage foundations so tints aren't something I use often. :P

You may find me praising this product too much, but what can I say? I have nothing ill to say about this it. Lip in Luxe still remains a favorite of mine among my makeup stash!

Thought on these new shades? Comment below!

Cheers,
DAWN
