I discovered a new lippie today that gives a retro look. Pale pink lipsticks can still be worn this fall because they give your skin warmth. Pale lipsticks with this kind of shade make the skin appear tanner than they actually are!

I am a loyal consumer of Tupperware's Colour Collection Cosmetics. They have a wide range of shades of lipsticks, and their foundations and powders are catered to Filipina skin.

I am just in-love with the collection! 7 fabulous shades that can be used whatever time of the year, day or night!

Ombre lips has been around for a while but I just currently jumped on the bandwagon. I think they're sexy and it's a fun new way to update your look not only this summer but for any other time of the year!

I finally got Covergirl's Blast Flipstick Lipstick after seeing it on Sofia Vergara. The sales associate at the CG counter told me that she was wearing the shade STUNNER, and of course, she had me at Sofia Vergara.

It seems like the new trend is liquid lipsticks turning into matte. First time I heard about this is Revlon, and now it's popping up everywhere!

I bought 2 brands to compare that was more or less first in the market (as far as I'm concerned):

COLORSTAY ULTIMATE LIQUID LIPSTICK IN FIRE (P843)

Let me tell you about this product. I love that Revlon has always been the first on long wearing makeup with their ColorStay line that has been around for ages.

Their colors and products have drastically changed over time more so when Gucci Westman came in the picture!

Anyway, let me tell you about this product. I love that its pigment deserves a 10/10. The color and shade is the perfect shade of red that I have been accustomed to using for my skin color and tone. The only thing holding it back from getting a perfect 10 is its overall feel. It's just too sticky. I don't like wearing makeup that makes me feel uncomfortable. When you are applying it though, it feels like you are applying water on your lips. It kind of has that consistency but it's not that messy. It takes a while to dry so you can erase product that strays.

Remember when you were a kid and after you eat sweets the sugar dries on your lips and you press your lips together and they stick together like glue? Well, that's how it feels like. I have to apply gloss on top of it just so I won't feel uncomfortable wearing it.



The first time I laid eyes on this lippie on my friend and Preview's Beauty Director, Agoo, I just fell in love with it. After we parted ways in Glorietta that day, I had to rush over to Rustan's to check it out. Lancome had 3 matte shades: #300 Magie Pourpre (In photo), #301 Prune Elixir, nd #100 Potion D.

I got a new lipstick! But this time I didn’t have to buy it, one of my best friends, Malloi’s mom gave this to me.

The moment I opened the tube to look at the color, I instantly fell in love with it. It looks red on the tube but it actually has a more bluish undertone when you put it on your lips, giving it a very rich deep raspberry hue, hence the name, Stay Rasberry.

If you want a break from all the Lady Gaga hot pink lipsticks or the very very red ones, this color is a very sophisticated substitute.

When buying lipstick, one of the things I check for first is the smell. I don’t like perfumed ones because after wearing the lipstick long, you’ll get dizzy from the strong smell. But this Estēe Lauder lipstick has a very faint fruity smell. Incidentally smells like raspberry which I love!

I also love that you don’t need a lipstick base to apply it as it glides on like balm. It has intense color and doesn’t show the cracks on your lips. The color stays on amazingly well and long! Even after I drank and ate it stayed on and I didn’t have to reapply the entire night. This is from Estēe Lauder’s Double Wear Line, Stay-in-Place Lipstick.

2 thumbs up for this amazing product! Since this was given to me, I don’t know the price. I also know that my friend didn’t get this here so I’m not really sure if the brand here in the Philippines has this line.

My cousin who works for Tupperware Brands gave me a lipstick from their Colour Collection Line.

A creamy lipstick that glides on easily on your lips even without a lip primer or a balm.

I love that it smells like MAC’s lipsticks and that it’s not exactly matte nor is it glossy.

The color is named Tea Rose which I think is just divine. A pastel pink colored lipstick that is über feminine perfect for everyday use.

The reason why I just love bright colored lipsticks is that it can brighten up your complexion and it’s girly. Hehehe… So enough of those nude coffee, or mocha colored lippies and try bright colored lipsticks today! You will immediately notice the lift effect it gives!

My beauty motto has always been, “one can never own or wear too much lipgloss.”

SM Department stores came up with a new brand called Elite. I was browsing aisle after aisle when I came across this new brand from… Paris?

The BA claims it’s from Paria but some of their signs were in Korean so one will never really know I guess.

I really loved their REPULP! Gloss in A6538 (?) the gloss doesn’t really have a name but it’s the only bright pink gloss that they have (P375).

The pigment is not that high so it’s best used with a lip color base like what I used, Fashion 21’s Aqualicious in Little Mermaid.

The lipgloss really brought the lipstick’s color to life. It’s a little harder to apply though because it comes with a mini brush applicator instead of the traditional sponge applicators. It tends to deposit a little bit more product than you want so best to brush of excess product on the rim of the tube before applying.

Elite is relatively new in Manila, which only opened last March. So they don’t have the complete line yet.

The BA told me that the lipsticks are yet to be delivered. So stay tuned! I’m sure I’ll be reviewing one of them soon ♥

Elite is available in SM Bicutan, SM Makati and Robinson’s Ermita.

Could it be? Have I finally found a nice orange lipstick?

When you look at the product, it looks a dark rust color but when you apply it, it’s a lovely bright orange color that is bordering on coral.

I love that it still blends with my gel blush, it gives my face a summer glow even though I have fair skin!

Try Nichido’s Matte Lipstick in Charming (P188). It just feels dry on the lips and doesn’t glide on like a balm but it’s staying power is amazing!

The tube comes with a gloss on its cap that has a pearlized finish. I just love it! Although it's still not that perfect orange I have been looking for.

Wear bright colored lipsticks when you have nothing else on your face. Make it your statement ♥

A little while back, I received an email from Prestige, introducing their new products. I totally forgot about their email, and today, I was again on the prowl for the perfect everyday-wear lipstick. I was in Beauty Bar in Powerplant and came across Prestige's latest Color Treat Anti-Aging Lipstick. I had no idea that they have finally come to Manila!
