Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Baci

Hey loves!

It's been a while since I last made a blog post. The past couple of months were so exhausting because of work, school, and other important obligations that I had to skip blogging just to find time to get some sleep. Good think I have my Peachy Pink Sister Liz to write some posts for me while I'm M.I.A. Anyway, I've done at least half of the things that I need to finish, so now I have enough time to spare for a short swatch post! Yay!

For tonight, I'll share my swatches of Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick.

And the shade I have is in Baci.

This is a gift from my sister. I think she bought a set and she didn't find this shade flattering on her so she asked if I wanted it. I think some of you may have read that I'm a fan of pinkish nude or nude pink lipstick shades so I happily accepted the item. :D

Info from the website:

The ultimate power pout! This creamy-matte, full-coverage lip color delivers bold, long-lasting color and stays in place for up to 6 hours of continuous wear. 

The texture is weightless on lips and comfortable. The color-rich formula will not bleed or transfer. 

Enriched with Vitamin E and avocado oil, Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick softens the lips so they look and feel beautiful!

Besides the attractive nude pink shade that is visible from the transparent, classy tube, what made me so interested on this product the first time I opened it is its scent. It smells wonderfully yummy! I like the sweet-smelling lip products the most because it gives me that kilig moment (if you're a makeup lover, then you know what I mean). ;)

Here's the wand.

The wand carries enough products to cover both my lips. 

Swatch on my hand

The product is very pigmented. I love the nude pink color very much!!!

On the lips

I like the matte finish and I also like how thin and light it feels when applied. It can be a bit drying some times but at least it doesn't go as far as the product cracking while applied. It doesn't do any bleeding and it lasts the whole day! 

I'm loving this product and I use it a lot, especially when I have a dramatic eye makeup going on. ;)

What are your thoughts on the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Baci? :)

Review : Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadows

Hello dears!

I found a really great and affordable eyeshadow base from Essence Makeup.

It's the...

Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadows
Php 209.00

I actually bought one just because I wanted to try something from the brand. I liked it so much that I bought another one in a different shade.

This is the first one I bought.

The shade is called For Fairies.

I bought it because I find the warm pink tone so pretty.

It's very shimmery, even close to being metallic. It's a cream eyeshadow but it's not to creamy. You'll have to build it up to get its full color.

Here's a swatch on my hand.

And here it is on my eyelids.

Actually, I don't like it on its own. It creases within three or four hours. BUT if you top it off with powder eyeshadows, it becomes a really, really good base!

So here's what it usually looks like when I top it off with powder eyeshadow that's near its shade.

That's basically my everyday eye makeup (and sorry for not prepping my brows haha). :P 

This is a really good base. It makes the powder shadows look bolder and last longer. Even if this is shimmery, the matte eyeshadows stay matte! I use For Fairies for cool, pink toned eye makeup. 

But for gold or warm based looks, I bought a different shade..

I got the shade Glammy Goes To...

This is a pretty shade of gold.

And oh, I love the packaging. The design makes it look like it's worth more than Php 209.00.

Here's a swatch on my hand:

And here's a product on my lids:

So yeah, I use this as a base. It works with every look even with smoky eyes!

What I LIKE:

- Affordable

- Great eyeshadow Base—makes ES last longer and look bolder

- Beautiful pigmentation that works well under any kind of eyeshadow, even matte ones!

- Locally available

- Cute packaging

What I DON'T LIKE:

- Doesn't last long on its own

Would I buy again?

I'll buy the other shades!!! I even got my sister to buy some too! :P

So do you have any thoughts on the Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadows? :)
