Pixy Silky Fit Lipstick in Puppy Love Satin

Hello dears!

Sharing with you the swatch of one of my current "everyday" lipsticks...

Pixy Silky Fit Lipstick in Puppy Love Satin

 I bought this at SM Mall of Asia Department store for only Php 246.00.

I was browsing their lippie collection because some friends of mine recommended that I try the brand's lipsticks. From all the shades that were available, this was the one I liked the most!

But before I show the swatch, here are some product details from the box:

So here's a closeup of the lippie:

What I like about this shade is that the pink is soft and not too bright. It's very wearable and it just looks good with most skin tone.

Here's the swatch on my hand:

And here are shots of my lips with the product applied:

It's just really pretty! I super love the shade!

If you wanna know more about my thoughts regarding the satin lipsticks from Pixy, then please visit my review of the same lipstick line but in the shade of Pinkish Peach.

I really like using this lippie because of the color and it doesn't make my lips chap, but staying power is not that great so I have to reapply every now and then. :P

Aaaand it's bedtime for me! I'm super tired so I'll end the post here. :)

What are your thoughts on this product?

Cheers,
DAWN

Pixy Silky Fit Lipstick in Pinkish Peach Satin

Hey dears!

Just sharing a quick swatch post of a lipstick I bought two weeks ago. I heard really good things about the lipsticks from this brand so I wanted to try them out. I bought two shades since it's quite affordable. Anyway, here's the lippie...

Pixy Silky Fit Lipstick in Pinkish Peach Satin

This is only Php 246.00.

Since this is the first time I've tried anything from the brand, let's check first the info on the labels:

For the packaging, it's cute and simple. The quality is pretty decent for something very affordable, though the design gets chipped easily.

The tube is also thicker in diameter. It doesn't fit my acrylic cases. But the height is still the same. 

 I bought this shade because of the name... Pinkish Peach... it's like my blog's name but they switched the colors... Peachy Pink and Pinkish Peach! :D

 The bullet is surprisingly short... probably why it's more affordable. But that's not a bad thing for me because I really like the feeling when I get to finish a product. It feels so fulfilling for some reason. Do you get that feeling too?

 This is the swatch.

It has a satin finish and it's pretty pigmented. It's creamy with a little gloss and it glides smoothly on the lips. The scent is a subtle chemical-ish lipstick but it's barely noticeable.

Here's the product on my lips.

It suits my skin tone and it looks simple and it's something that is safe to use for everyday makeup. The shade is easy to pair with many makeup looks so this is a keeper for me.

Do make sure that you hydrate your lips before using this because this can make the dry areas very visible. The lasting power isn't that impressive because it is all gone after a meal. Those are my only two concerns regarding this product. 

I have another shade in my stash which I prefer more. I'll share it soon. Hope you can watch out for it. 

And oh, this brand also has different kinds of lippie (they have matte ones!). I would like to try them out as well since I really like the ones I bought.

Have you tried Pixy lipsticks yet?

Cheers,

September (2014) Haul—Because It's My Birth Month!

Hi dears!

Because it is my birth month, I spoiled myself by shopping all day last Saturday at SM Mall of Asia. I was the makeup artist of two of my friends who attended a cosplay event at SMX. The MIBF was also happening on that week so I also visited the booths of different bookstores and publishers. But I didn't buy any books—there were too many people and I didn't see any interesting art books. 

And by the way, the stuff I bought at MOA were discounted because it was their 3-day sale last weekend. Some of the products were already at 10-20% off and you get an additional 10% off when you reach Php 1,500.00. My purchases were over that price requirement so every product here that was bought from the department store's beauty section are 10% off.

So anyway, I just wanna share with you the new stuff I got. Some of them will be reviewed on future posts. :)

72-Piece Prismacolor Colored Pencils — Php 3,000.00

I bought this last Thursday actually... This is my ultimate splurge/birthday gift to myself. I've always wanted one and I kept holding back because it is quite pricey. But I think now that I've been working my butt off at my job and at my classes at grad school, I think I deserve this. :P

And here are the stuff I bought from SM Department Store:

Heroine Make Mineral BB Loose Powder in #02 Natural—Php 695.00

I really liked the texture when I tried this out during the launch a few weeks ago. :)

PIXY  Silky Fit Lipstick in Puppy Love Satin and Pinkish Peach Satin—Php 245.00 each

Some of my blogger friends told me that the lippies from Pixy are really good so I was convinced to try it out. I even bought two!

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish in Crazy Berry – Php 99.00

Sally Hansen Moisturizing Nail Polish Remover—Php 225.00

Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat—Php 395.00

And a free nail polish remover pump!

The S.A. was really nice. I was just looking at the Maybelline Color Show polishes when she approached me. I wanted to get a matte top coat but she offered that if I buy a nail polish remover, I get the pump for free. I was like, "What the heck, I'll get that too. It's my birthday anyway!" LOL

Clio Gelspresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner in No. 12—Php 475.00

I wanted to see if their gel pencil liner is as good as the pen eyeliner that I like so much!

Ogx (Organix) Moroccan Curling Perfection Defining Cream—Php 499.00

Ogx (Organix) Hydrating Macadamia Oil—Php 499.00

I've read really good reviews on the brand so I wanted to try it out myself. I picked variants that I think would suit my long, colored, permed hair.

Foot Treat Anti Bacterial Foot Spray in Magnolia—Php 115.00

DermAid Moisturizing Cracked Heel Cream—Php 79.00

Marionnaud Eyelash Curler Refill—Php 20+

Johnson's Baby Bath—forgot the price :P

Veet Wax Strips for Normal Skin—Php 257.50 

And I also got various freebies just because my purchases amounted to Php 1k+.

A shirt, a small bag, and a sample of Vidal Sassoon Shampoo and Conditioner

I stopped by Beauty Bar as well and bought this makeup remover:

Nature by Canus All Natural Moisturizing Facial Cleansing Milk and Make-Up Remover—Php 280.00

Original price was Php 950.00.

Awesome deal, don't you think so too?

Karma Soap and Porridge (Oatmeal) Soap from Lush

I forgot the price and I've already thrown out the receipt. :P I just love the smell of these soaps so I wanted to pamper myself this month with soaps that are quite expensive for my budget. LOL

And those are my new babies! Feel free to comment below the ones you're interested on reading a review about! :)

Cheers,
