Wet n Wild ColorIcon Blush in Pearlescent Pink

Hello loves!

Been raining heavily in Manila this weekend. I hope you're all safe and dry at home. I stayed home and relaxed since I've been busy the past two weeks exploring Sydney.

Anyway, since I've written so little in the blog for the past month, here's a short swatch post of a blush that I think a lot of you might like...

Wet n Wild MegaLast Lipstick in Just Peachy

Hello beauties!

The weather's been gloomy the whole week but my makeup has been just peachy! Haha! I've been wearing mostly peach makeup to brighten my look in a gloomy day. I'm using this lippie from Wet n Wild, which I'll share a swatch of on this post.

Wet n Wild MegaLast Lipstick in Just Peachy

I bought this from BeautyMNL for Php 269.00 (orig. price was Php 299.00).

I love peach. In fact, my favorite color, Salmon pink, is pretty close to peach so I own so many peach stuff, especially makeup. I bought this because I wanted a matte peach lippie and this is just that!

Product info from the website:

- 4-hour longwearing lip colors leave a semi-matte cream finish

- Hyaluronic Microspheres adhere to lips to make them long-lasting

- An exclusive polymer complex make your lips cushiony and plump

- Natural marine plant extracts coenzyme Q10 and vitamins A & E help smooth lips

This is basically our Magnum Opus of lipstick—it’s the one thing we absolutely MUST put on when we’ve got a cocktail party or black tie event. This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte cream finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn’t cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts coenzyme Q10 and vitamins A & E help smooth lips.

Ingredients:

Ozokerite, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Propylheptyl Caprylate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mineral Oil/Huile minérale, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Myristyl Lactate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid/Glycerin Crosspolymer, Microcrystalline Wax/Cire microcristalline, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Myristyl Myristate, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate, Silica, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Bis-Behenyl/Isostearyl/Phytosteryl Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, Myristyl Laurate, Phytosteryl Hydroxystearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Allantoin, Squalane, Ubiquinone, Sodium Hyaluronate, [+/- (MAY CONTAIN/PEUT CONTENIR): Blue 1 Lake/CI 42090, Iron Oxides/CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, Red 6/CI 15850, Red 7 Lake/CI 15850, Red 28 Lake/CI 45410, Red 30 Lake/CI 73360, Titanium Dioxide/CI 77891, Yellow 5 Lake/CI 19140, Yellow 6 Lake/CI 15985]

The tube of the lipstick is very simple. I appreciate that the cap is clear so you can see the shade of the lipstick, but I have to say that this is toooo simple for me. :P

The MegaLast lipstick range from the brand is not new to me since I had owned a different shade (Mauve Outta Here) before.

Just Peachy is, as what its name states, just peachy. See swatches below:

on hand

on lips

It looks warm but with fluorescent lighting, the shade seems cooler. I think the shade is really good, especially for day makeup. The finish is not completely matte. It actually has some shine (but you can blot it with tissue if you want a complete matte finish).

As usual, this matte lipstick is still drying when worn. It also emphasizes the dry areas of the lips so I recommend wearing lip balms and try to gently exfoliate lips before wearing this lipstick.

So what are your thoughts on the Wet n Wild MegaLast Lipstick in Just Peachy?

Cheers,

My First BeatyMNL Purchase

Hello guys!

I've been feeling down lately. I'm currently lost when it comes to my thesis and it's really stressing me out. Anyway, just so I can feel a little better, I decided to take advantage of BeautyMNL's Big Brand Sale and bought some items. :)

It was the last day of the sale and BeautyMNL has some items that I really wanted to try. What's even better is that it was on sale. I just thought that if I were to splurge, at least I got a good deal out of them. 

And so, I bought some awesome stuff, which I will be sharing with you. Almost everything here was on sale. Yay! And what's even more awesome is that the package arrived in less than 24 hours! I ordered yesterday (Sunday) and paid via paypal and the package arrived today (Monday). Everything was in good condition and neatly wrapped. I'm very impressed with BeautyMNL's service.

It was even in a box and there were enough fillers inside so the products wouldn't get damaged. The box actually arrived covered with shrink wrap and tape so that nothing gets misplaced from it.

Anyway, let's proceed to the fun stuff. Here are the products I bought...

First on the list is a special kit created by BeautyMNL! It's the Thank God It's Friday (TGIF) Kit. The canvas bag consists of different skincare products that I would absolutely love to try! I got this for PhP 699.00 only because it was discounted. Its original price was PhP 999.00.

Inside the kit are the following:

• Be Organic Bath & Body Argan Oil Shampoo, a frizz-fighting shampoo made with “liquid gold.” Read more.

• Kala Milk Soap Honey & Oats Milk Soap, a gentle exfoliating soap bar.Read more.

If you have color-treated hair, then a sulfate free shampoo can help retain the color. The soap on the other hand is something that I have used before and I became an instant fan. :D

• 
  
  Leaders InSolution Double Effect AC Free, a bestselling Korean face mask. Read more.

Bath Junkies Strawberry Samba Body Scrub, a body buffer with berry antioxidants. Read more.

I've only tried a few from Leaders InSolution so I'm curious as to how well this will work on my face. I liked some of the masks I've tried from them. The Bath Junkies Body Scrub, on the other hand, smells super fantastic!

• Made by David Organics Hand Sanitizer Trio, three bottles of scented antibacterial spray. Read more.

It's always a must for me to carry a bottle of sanitizer and I'm excited to use all three because I just love how them smell! :D

Let's proceed to the makeup products next...

Wet N' Wild Mega Last Lip Color in Just Peachy

Got this for PhP 269.00. Original price is PhP 299.00.

What can I say? I just love the color Peach!

The next three products came from the same brand. I've only tried one product from them and I wanted to try more. So I grabbed the opportunity to get them while on sale.

Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color in Sin City and Concrete Jungle

Got them for only PhP 374.00 each. Original Price was PhP 499.00.

I'm on a look-out for awesome highlighters! I hope these will work well.

Pink Sugar Creamy Matte Lipstick in Sangria

Got this for PhP 349.00. It wasn't on sale. :P

I'm currently loving dark lipsticks so I just had to get one and chose this deep plum shade. :D

Black Beauty Hot Oil with Vitamin E

Got it for PhP 133.00 from PhP 148.00.

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Got this for PhP 685.00 from PhP 779.00.

Vitamin C on my skin really brightens it and just works wonders on it. I hope it works as well as Ciracle's.

And those are the items included in my mini haul. I've swatched and tried out some of them and I'm really satisfied. I can't wait to share my reviews with all of you.

I'm also very satisfied with BeautyMNL's fast service and awesome deals. I'm sure to buy again soon! :D

Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipstick in 907C Mauve Outta Here

Hey loves!

I'm such a fan of matte lipsticks. They're just so classy and long-lasting.

One of the lippies that I enjoy using is from Wet n Wild. What makes this more interesting is that it is quite affordable. I can't remember the exact price but I think it's around Php 400... I think...

Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipstick

The shade is 907C, Mauve Outta Here.

Not a fan of the packaging though. It looks tacky. :P

The color is lovely. It's a bold pink that looks good on almost anyone! Well, at least on almost every people I know. :P

Swatch on paper

Swatch on hand

My bare lips

Product applied on lips

See how gorgeous the shade is?

I super love it and I love it even more with thick, bold eyeliner!

It's still kind of drying like most matte lipsticks but its nothing a good lip balm and regular exfoliation can't fix. 

So what do you think of this shade? 

Have you used any of Wet n Wild's Mega Last Lipsticks?

Cheers,

DAWN

Wet 'N Wild MegaChrome Eyeliner Pencil in 150

Hello dears!

How's your Monday so far?

Been a busy, busy day for me. Work drained all the energy I had from the recent long weekend. Now I'm just looking forward for the soon long weekend ahead.
I was also looking forward for the new phone I will be getting from Globe Rewards. I wish it will be ready for pickup tomorrow. ♥

Anyway, I was fixing my makeup case last Saturday and saw some of my not so used eye liners and among them is...

Wet 'N Wild MegaChrome Eyeliner Pencil in 150

I don't know why I barely use this. It's actually good! Now I'm thinking of an EOTD/FOTD wherein I can use this.

The product isn't really creamy so it doesn't smudge fast but it is still easy to apply. It glides on to skin easily.

It's also quite long lasting when I apply it under my eyes but on my lids, it's just so-so since mine is very oily. :P

Here's a swatch on my hand.

It is quite pigmented! I love the metallic gold finish! ♥

It's a really good eye liner and an affordable one for only P299.00.

So any suggestion for a theme using this liner? Been thinking of a Cleopatra or something futuristic... Will appreciate any suggestions! Comment them below! :)

Cheers!

FOTD: Pastel Love

Hey Ladies!

Been a while since I last posted an FOTD.

I know that spring is nearly coming to an end (and yes, I am aware that we don't have spring in the Philippines) but I just have to do a makeup using pastel colors since it is in-trend this season. Liz wanted to do it on her but we haven't gotten around to taking pics and all, plus she's in Canada right now and didn't bring much makeup with her... So I did the FOTD myself.

I like pastels but not on my face. I am more into the dramatic kind of makeup so I rarely wear any pastel colors. 

Anyway, here's my FOTD:

FACE:

Missha M Shiny B.B Cream

Missha The Style Silky Soft Foundation in No. 2

Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer

Tony Moly Baby Doll Pot Concealer in Shade 2 Natural Beige

Fanny Serrano Two Way Cake in Chino

EYES:

 Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

Etude House Drawing Eye Brow in Brown 

Etude House Color My Brows in 3 

Dollface Cosmetics 88 pcs Eye Shadow Palette

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

Wet 'N Wild ColorIcon Eyeliner in White  

Wet 'N Wild ColorIcon Eyeliner in Amethyst

T. Le Clerc Paris Eye Pencil (cant remember which shade)

 In2It Liquid Eyeliner in Dark Violet

Nichido Gorgeous Eye Pencil in Pink Diamond

 

CHEEKS:

 

The Body Shop Rose Flower Blush

Etude House Face Color Corset in #3 Lavender Veil Finish

LIPS:

Chanel Rouge Coco in Magnolia

 

 

 Here's a very closed-up picture of the whole look:

 

My face looks odd in the photo. It's just that this is the most decent one in the bunch that you can clearly see the makeup. I was in a rush to take photos since I was going out to eat dinner with the family and they were already waiting for me.

So what do you think of pastels on my face? 

Should I wear more pastels?

Cheers,

DAWN

Review: Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye Liner

 Hello lovelies!

Sharing with you two of my pencil liners that I've been using a lot lately.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye Liner
in White and Amethyst

What the product says:

COLOR ICON™ BROW & EYE LINER

Rich, creamy color glides on smoothly without tugging. Incredibly versatile to create a variety of looks.

And it's available in 15 shades!

I first bought the white one since I want a matte finish white liner for creating a doe-eyed look or if I just want to make my eyes appear bigger or less stressed-looking. :P

I began liking it since it's so pigmented and lasts pretty decently. Plus! It's very affordable at Php119.00 at Watsons Beauty Section.

Here's a swatch on my hand

I usually use Amethyst when I use purple eye shadows

I smudge it around my eyes.
It's pretty hard smudging it. It's not as creamy compared to the more high-end eye liners like UD's.

But I still love the White one.

I like it's finish at my waterline making my eyes appear bigger.

So what do I like about the product:

♥ Very affordable at Php119.00
♥ Locally available
♥ Pigmented
♥ The pencil is long so there's more product to use! So sulit!
♥ Decent lasting power

What I don't like about it

♥ Not too creamy since it's hard to smudge


That's it! What do you think of the Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye Liner?

Cheers,
DAWN

FOTD : Because I'm Feeling Mod

 Hey gorgeous!

Here's the FOTD post I was supposed to publish yesterday.

I was out with the family at BGC to celebrate my mom's birthday.

 Because of all the hype with bold, matte lipsticks, I've forgotten to use most of my pale lippies. I actually have quite a number of them because I really liked doing smokey makeup.

So yesterday, I explored my makeup stash again and used the palest gloss I have and partnered it with a sexy cat eye liner. No smokey eyes for this one. Just all mod. I used white eyeshadow and some brown ones to add "depth" to my eyes. Too bad I didn't have falsies when I did this cuz they would have added a little more 'umph' to the look!

 MAKEUP USED:

FACE:

Etude House Dr. Oil Solution Anti-Shine Dual Primer 

Chanel Mat Lumiere Long Lasting Luminous Matte Fluid Makeup in 40 Beige

San San Age Defense 2 Way Cake in 01

Ever Bilena Mousse Concealer in Pure Beige

E.L.F. Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter

EYES:

 Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

Etude House Drawing Eye Brow in Brown 

Etude House Color My Brows in 3 

Dollface Cosmetics 88 pcs Eye Shadow Palette

Dollface Gel Liner in Black

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

Wet 'N Wild ColorIcon Eyeliner in White  

Idol Eyes Creme Shadow Pencil in 130 Pixie

CHEEKS:

CoverGirl (I forgot the shade)

Benefit Georgia

LIPS:

 MAC Viva Glam Lipglass in Gaga 2

 And here are other vain pics I took...

 I feel like it works perfectly with the new bangs and my 'doll-like' curls as Liz calls them. I liked the look so much that I will probably do more mod looks for the next few days. Haha.

What do you think of this FOTD? Should it stay or should I stick with colorful ones?

Cheers,
DAWN
