Peripera Lip Tint Review Philippines

Why Peripera is one of the best lip tints in the market?

Peripera Lip Tints in the shade Pure Apricot Coral and Dry Rose Brown

I am not a lip tint person because I find it difficult to rock on the lip tint trend, that is why I am hesitant to try it, but the Peripera lip tints are too hard to resist because they are so cute in packaging, and the shades are gorgeous that is where I got hooked up, and jump on the lip tint bandwagon.

Thankfully my money wasn't wasted because I was love at first swatch with the product. I got two shades in #03 Pure Apricot Coral (cloud ink velvet), and #10 Dry Rose Brown (airy ink velvet).



PRICEPOINT

I shop to different stores the could ink velvet I bought it from shopee, and it cost me P320.00 plus the shipping fee of P73.00 ( I did not meet the minimum amount for free shipping that is why I need to pay for it). The cloud ink velvet I got it from the SM Department Store in the CLub Clio counter which is a bit pricier for the amount of P400.00. But for me, it's more convenient to shop in the store because I was able to swatch and see the colors of each shade. However, when buying online, you can get the best deals and lowest price.

PACKAGING

As I mentioned earlier the packaging of these products is unique and very kawaii. They have a conforming doe-foot applicator that is very comfortable to use.

SCENT and TEXTURE

These products have a scent, but it's not irritating, and they smell like cupcakes. Well, the Dry Rose Brown has a sweet, berry-like scent, and the Pure Apricot Coral smells like a cupcake reminds me of the NYX SMLC.

The Pure Apricot Coral is in the cloud ink collection, and the Dry Rose Brown is in the airy ink collection which they are not similar in texture, longevity, and consistency.

Though they are both velvety, the cloud ink velvet is mousier in the consistency, and the airy ink is thinner in texture.

THE COLOR PAY OFF

Their color payoff is satisfaction where you can go bold for much opaque color, or you can wear it just a lip tint to give your lips a subtle fresh color.

These lip tints are perfect for everyday use, that has the shade of coral and mauve, but they have more lovely colors to choose from.  ;

I am very satisfied with these lip tints that I don't mind paying its cost, so, for me the price is just right, but if you want the lower cost I suggest you shop online and look for the best deals, and you can even ask the online seller for a discount if you plan to hoard all there shades.

Beauty Blender For Only P150.00 (Miine Makeup Blender Review)

Two pieces Miine beauty blender

Beauty blender? Hmm..., this is a well-loved tool in the beauty industry, where everyone is using it to blend out their makeup, especially foundations. But I have a love and hate relationship when it comes to using it, and especially when washing it (lol, can you relate?). I know some of you feel the same way I do, because often times, it's a pain in the ass washing this egg sponge to get out the gunk from it (I feel like doing 10x biceps curls washing this egg sponge, lol). 

I have a few beauty blender that I bought from Daiso, Gladkings, and LA girl, but none of them wows me, I don't feel any mutual connection to this beauty blenders everytime I used them. Until I found my "impulsive beauty blender" ( I just want to call it that way because I just bought it without the intention of using it, I just bought it because it's cheap.) So, enough with the rumbling and let's get it on with the beauty blender.

2 pieces Miine beauty blender in pink and blue

I found this Miine 2pcs blending sponges in Watsons, and it only cost me P150.00. I think this is a good steal product because 2pcs of beauty blender for P150.00?Yass please bring it to mama!

I don't know what to call the style of the blue one but yeah it's still a beauty blender, and the pink one it's the traditional style of a beauty blender which is the egg type.

Both of these beauty blenders are expandable ones soaked in the water.,but they are not the same in texture, and they don't give the same finished when used to blend foundations.

The blue beauty blender is firmer than the pink beauty blender. I guess it's because of its shape that is why it is denser than the pink one.  You need to put more work and effort when using the blue blender because it's not soft enough to bounce the product on the skin. In short, it's not a great beauty blender to use when applying foundation.

On the other hand, the pink beauty blender is the bomb between the two. It has the right texture, softness, and size of a beauty blender and I love it.

Miine Makeup Blender in color pink 

I tried using this sponge to blend my EB Advance Shine-free Makeup Foundation, and it blends my foundation so well like an airbrush finish. And the awesome thing about this beauty blender is surprisingly it's very easy to wash with water even without soap.

Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipsticks review and swatches

I know you guys are not new to hearing the Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipsticks because they are very popular in the beauty market. These lipsticks are one of the most affordable matte lipsticks that are comparable to other high-end brands. Aside from its affordability these lipsticks really give satisfaction to your lips because it is very pigmented, true matte lipstick and lasts on your lips for hours. The price is just right and worth all your money.

I got two shades from the Creamy Matte Browns Collection (696) Burgundy Blush and (660) Touch of Spice, and one shade from their Rosy Matte Collection (Matte 5) Soft Pink.

The Matte Browns and Rosey Matte has the same formulation which is creamy matte, but they have a different consistency.

Burgundy Blush (696) - This lipstick is heavy on the lips that make you feel you are wearing a creamy matte lipstick, but the color payoff is awesome. One swipe of this lipstick gives you a dark plummy color, that is great for a vampy look plus you can also build the intensity of this lipstick to achieve a bold dark color. This shade is the darkest from the Creamy Matte browns Collection.

Touch Of Spice (660) - One of the popular shade of the creamy matte lipsticks. This lipstick has a mauve color with a light feeling on the lips and very pigmented. This shade is not buildable, it's not as bold as the Burgundy Blush, but it is a perfect everyday lipstick which you can use to work, school and to a special occasion.

What I like about with this creamy matte browns they are easy to apply on the lips, it's not cakey or patchy especially the Touch of Spice, it glides on smoothly and stayed on the lips beautifully.

However, the Rosey Matte Lipstick in the shade (Matte 5) Soft Pink the color is beautiful it's my kind of pink lipstick that makes me look fresh and young, but the downside of it is when applied on the lips it leaves patchy effects. Though it has a buttery consistency, this shade doesn't give you a smooth application.

(Matte 5) Soft Pink - has a lightweight feeling and a perfect shade of pink lipstick for people with yellow undertones. But this lipstick leaves a very patchy effect on the lips, emphasizes cracks and dry lips. (This shade is a perfect everyday pink lipstick.)

I am very satisfied with the longevity of these lipsticks because ones applied to the lips it stays for hours. When you eat and drink these lipsticks will still leave your lips a nice stain. What I loved about these matte lipsticks despite being matte they are hydrating on the lips, and that is a plus point for these lipsticks.

Final Verdict

These are one of the best matte lipsticks in the Philippine market that doesn't give you "hole in the pocket", It has a wide variety of colors from bold, muted tones, to nude colors, they are perfect for everyday use, for special occasions plus you can find them at any Maybelline Counters nationwide.

Loreal Paris Lipstick Swatches & Review

These are my first ever lipsticks from Loreal Paris, I have an over all 10 shades Each of these lipsticks cause $3 (P144.00 conversion to PH peso).

The color of the packaging is gold that looks expensive but feels “okay lang”. At the bottom, you can see the shade number and on top, you can see the lipstick shade through the transparent lid.

It has a slight scent (na hindi ko maexplain) but it is minimal and tolerable. Once applied on the lips mawawala din agad yung scent nya.

These lipsticks have a very unique style - a 2D lipstick, two in one product in a single bullet. It has a solid color on the outer and a second color which is a creamy shade on the center.

Their color pay off is not opaque, each shade has a muted color because of the 2D style. (the creamy shade on the center gives each shade a muted tone.)

These lipsticks are easy to slide on glide on the lips. They are very moisturizing and ideal for everyday use.

The only downside of these lipsticks is they don’t last you the whole day.You need to reapply the lipstick after eating and drinking. Though they are very creamy and moisturizing when applied, but at the end of the day still it leaves a slight dryness on the lips. So, after removing this lipstick you better have some lip balm or petroleum jelly applied on your lips for a smoother and softer application of lipsticks on the next day.

S180 Silky Java

The other shade S180 Silky Java (photo shown above) has a solid shade but the color pay off is muted in tone, the same with the other lipsticks.

Foundation Review: Maybelline White Super Fresh

If you are looking for affordable and oil proof foundation then please continue reading.

Since I have a combination skin and it is already summer I need a good foundation that can cover some of my blemishes and has a good staying power.

I bought this Maybelline I white super  fresh liquid powder for 349 pesos. It contains  a  25ml amount of product. they have four shades available on their liquid line and I got the shade N3 Natural.

The packaging is simple and white , it is made out of plastic , has an acrylic lid cup that is sturdy. When you open the cup it has this unique tube where the product comes out.

Front Side 

· It has a lot of text

· It has the product name

· Tagline

· And amount of product

At the back

· Where you can find its product claims

· The product Expiry date

· A small indication of “PEEL HERE” and 

· When you open there is a product instruction how to use

· And the product ingredients.

Product claims

Our unique powder in water formula provides an all day, white fresh, and matte look with a lightweight feel. Perfectly natural, evens complexion without the cakiness and stickiness. Pores, fine lines, and imperfections are instantly minimized. Skin feels soft, smooth and moisturized. 

It has a small indication at the back that says “peel here” where you can find the three simple steps on how to use the product. This has SPF50PA+++ which is very awesome to use for an everyday foundation.

Product Consistency

It has a runny consistency that support their claims “to have a powder in water formula”.

Product Application

I have two ways in applying this product

LOL! sorry for the photo :D

Fingers - Since this is liquidy and easy to blend you can use your fingers to apply and blend the product to your face.  But I don’t like the result of this because it leaves a very matte finish and my face feels very dry, stretch and flaky.

Brush - This is my favorite tool when applying this foundation because it gives me just the right amount of matte finish that I want on my skin, lightweight and manageable.  

Real Deal

• provides an all day, white fresh, and matte look with a lightweight feel.

 I agree with this when applying the product it will give you a matte finish that looks like you apply a baby powder to your face and it feels lightweight and very dry looking.So, this is an ideal foundation for people who have combination to oily skin.

• Perfectly natural evens complexion without the cakiness and stickiness

I don’t see a natural finish and even complexions after applying this product because it leaves a white effect to your face. No cakiness and stickiness are checked since this will leave you a matte finish effect.

• Pores, fine lines, and imperfections are instantly minimized. 

Yes, it will just minimize but it will not cover all your problems. Because this product is like a 2in1 BB cream, a powder and a liquid foundation combined each other. That is why no need for you to have a setting powder because this product will leave you a matte finish with a powder effect. This foundation is good to those who has small imperfections and if you are looking for good coverage this is not the right foundation for you. You can build this foundation up to two layers of but three layers will leave you with cakiness.

• Skin feels soft, smooth and moisturized. 

Since this has a matte finish the skin will just feel smooth but not soft and moisturize. 

Overall this foundation is good for everyday use, good for oily skin, good for people who needs small coverage but not applicable for people who are looking for superb coverage.

REVIEW: LA GIRL: Matte Finish Pigment Gloss

These lipsticks has been a rave in the beauty community lately, because of its affordable price that cause  P349 each. They have wide selection of colors and of course it is available everywhere from online shopping and to all local department stores.
                                           

This LA Girl Matte Finish Pigment Gloss has 16 selection of colors from nude to  dark bold colors. It became a sensation to all beauties  because of its intense color and of course its texture that  is so freak'n matte,that when ever you eat or drink, this lipstick will not wear off and will last you all day long, without retouching (OMG!!! how amaze balls is that LOL!!!!:D)

Although the pigmentation is great, and last you the whole day, for me this lipstick still a hit and miss.

These lipsticks has a doe foot applicator that is very flat and stiff, but it can get a lot of products from the tube, which is very good because no need to keep going back and forth inside the tube to get more productz. It has a very simple yet jumbo packaging. :D

                                                        
I just bought 2 shades of this lipsticks the first shade is "TULLE" it has this very intense neon pink color ( I'm all about pink lippies) but this shade is not my kind of pink lipstick.

• This has a blue undertone which makes the teeth yellowish.
• You need to have hydrated lips before applying so that you can get the best result
• I really struggle when applying this shade because it dries so fast, that's why you need to apply it quickly.
• In applying this if possible stretch out your lips and use one direction only. Do not do the wiper motion so that you can get a smooth finish. Do not get too excited in closing your lips, WAIT FOR THE PRODUCT TO DRY.
• Texture is liquidy a little bit tacky on the lips, it does not give me a smooth application it makes my lips so caky which is not pretty to look at. 
• This shade is not good to overlay,  second coat will intensify more the color but it will leave you ugly patches of color.
• The color from the picture is not the same on the real thing. In picture it has a mauve kind of pink but in person it is an Oh!my gosh NEON PIIIINNNKKK.
• .lastly for me this shade is not good for everyday use. 
• despite to all my negative comments with this shade. One good thing about this lipstick is that, it's good to overlay with other shade of lipsticks, specially the darker shades. 

The second shade is "TIMELESS" this shade is very popular because it's a wearable shade which is good for on the go or everyday lipstick.

• This lipstick has a cool undertone
• It is much easier to apply than the TULLE
• Pigmentation is also superb
• It has also a liquidy texture and dries fast, but for this shade I don't need to worry that match because it's manageable. Even thou it dries you can still go ahead and re apply/ overlay more colors on your lips without looking caky or gross on the lips. 
• This has a smoother texture,it's not tacky unlike the TULLE that has sticky finish 

What Does It Feels Like?

This lipstick feels like you are wearing tons of lipstick. Yes girl! I'm not kidding, this lipstick is not lightweight, seems like you painted your lips an acrylic paint (but those kind of HIGH END acrylic paints not those cheap ones LOL!!!:D) 

Eating and Drinking (Longevity)

Here comes the real test for these lipsticks. Although  they are super matte but when it comes to eating and drinking these lipsticks melts into your lips, specially on the inner part . They don't have that superb longevity of a Liquid Matte Lipstick, When this lipsticks melt it feels a little bit tacky and yucky which is not comfortable.

Is it worth the hype?

For me YES specially when you wan't a WOW! KABAM! Matte Lipstick in your Face with a superb pigmentation, this lipstick is worth the hype, besides THIS is much cheaper than the other brands. Plus it contains 0.17oz or 5g amount of product. The secret of this lipstick when it becomes tacky and gross JUST WIPE IT OFF GIRL and RE APPLY THE LIPSTICK!  

At the end of the day this lipstick is very hard to take off, you need a good makeup remover to wipe off all the pigments. But the good thing in here despite of its matte texture this lipstick is not drying at all.

That's all beauties for my review, if you want to see what it looks like on the lips PLS watch my Youtube channel for my SWATCHES and DEMO for these lipsticks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ngdgsCvq54

                                                                                         

REVIEW: REJUVENATING SET by Dr. Alvin Professional Skin Care

"My Secret To Clearer Skin"

Read till the end of the line, I list some helpful tips that might help  :)

I have been suffering from acne breakout since 2014 when my bald hair started to grow, it seems like I have some allergic reaction on the process of growing my hair plus some hormonal imbalances that triggers the acne. That is why I tried and tested a lot of skin care products from the least to some expensive products, and I also went to a dermatologist to seek help for my acne problem, but seems like all the products and method I've done is not meant for me.

I heard a lot of good feed backs regarding this Rejuvenating Set by Dr. Alvin professional Skin Care, and this product is all over the metro,this is a super hot deal in the market because of its price. Well at first I was quite hesitant to try this product, because I was bit scared that it might cause me more problem. I bought this for only P350.00 for a set / 1 bag of products. (In my mind derma plus a thousand plus pesos na skin care hindi nag work saken e2 pa kaya ??:D) But yes with no hopes I just want to try this to go with the trend LOL!! Then my journey started.

The first set is called "The Rejuvenating Set" my first impression with this kit, seems like a skin care bought in "divisoria" and all the products are just sample sizes, only the "kojic soap" is in full size. LOL!!

Rejuvenating Set Includes:

Kojic Soap

Rejuvenating Toner

4 in 1 Bleaching Cream

Sun Screen with SPF 15

The packaging is not fancy, it seems like recyclable plastic containers. But they already have a new packaging today which the sunblock cream is in a squeezable tube and the bleaching cream is in a glass container. 

My Problem

Acne Breakout

Super oily skin

Dark Spots / Pimple Marks 

Because of my breakout my normal skin turns out to be oily to combination skin. But during my first day of use on this product I already experience  effects on my skin, which is a good thing. A lot of us seeks for a product that give an instant effect upon using the product and this product will give you that effect.

1ST DAY:

 My skin turns out to be so stretch looking  but when you feel and touch it is not dry.  The oiliness of my face is still there,when I look in the mirror it seems like it is swelling but its not, and I don't feel any discomfort on my face. 

2ND DAY:

I can now feel that my face is so dry and stretch it is twice the stretch than my first day , redness is starting all over my face and I can feel already some itchiness .At this point I was bit afraid to continue the product, but I just keep my chances (cross fingers) because I was amazed how fast the reaction of this product on my face. :D

3RD DAY:

My face looks so red  and I can feel already a little bit of swelling, much dryer and more itchy  ,but the major highlight of my 3rd day is my skin starts to peel. At this moment every time I used the skin toner I felt a slight discomfort because of its burnt feeling, so I used  a very small amount, put it on a cotton ball and gently pat it all over my face (PS: do not rub the cotton ball it will worsen the burn feeling)

4TH DAY: 

Same feeling and effects I felt on my 3rd day but I already noticed some changes into my skin some of my dark spots are  slightly lightening, and it's a good sign for me to keep this product rolling into my face LOL!!

Succeeding days

1 set of the Rejuvenating Set is good for 30 days, so for the succeeding days, it has the same effect from my 3rd day, but day by day I am seeing big changes on my skin. I have lesser breakouts, I have a dryer skin, dark spots are starting to fade and I have a brighter skin.

HOW I USE:

This came with a small paper with instructions on how to use the product, but here's what i did LOL!:D

MORNING

• I never skip every morning to wash my face with the Kojic Soap - This soap is so amazing, after washing your face with this soap it feels so clean and fresh plus it keep my face dry all throughout the day.

• After washing my face with the Kojic Soap next step is I used the toner to clean my face even more. This is a very good toner it really cleans all the excess dirt from my face. If I'm not in the mood to wash my face after removing my makeup with wipes I used this toner to remove the excess foundation on my face and it really works great.  Just a little precaution when using this toner, use a cotton ball or a cotton pad and use a minimal amount in your face, then gently dub the cotton ball/pad  , DO NOT rub the product specially when your face starts to peel. Because on the process of peeling every time you use the toner you will feel a little discomfort a burnt feeling or intense tingly sensation. 

• next after the toner use the SUNBLOCK this has SPF 15 PA ++, even thou you stay at home it is much better to take a precaution and protect your skin, you don't want to get burn from the harmful rays of the sun. This is a VERY GOOD sunblock it has a thick consistency, slightly hard to blend, no smell and it is so good to use before applying foundation because it works like a primer, it has a tacky finish that makes the foundation stay on the face all day long. 

NIGHT

• After a long tiring day, at night I wash my face with the Kojic Soap.
• After washing my face I use again the toner
• Then I use the star of the show which causes all the peeling is this 4'n'1 BLEACHING CREAM. It has a little bit of smell, but it's not strong, it's tolerable. It also has thick consistency, hard to blend,  but this cream works great on my breakout, it lightens my pimple marks and dark spots plus it slowly bringing my skin back to its normal condition. Little goes a long way with this product, just concentrate on your problem area then gently spread the product all over your face, to get even result of peeling. 

NOTE. for this skin care I just notice the colder the weather the more my skin exfoliates, but when I'm in a hot place like manila my skin is moist at walang ganap na pag babalat, So I guess with the peeling effect may big factor ang weather para magkaroon ng bonggang bonggang exfoliation sa face.  

If you have a pimple or acne this product will not dry them but instead it will make them "more mature" or "Hinog"  :D LOL!! and that's the only time your pimple will start to dry. :)

Until now I am still using the Rejuvenating Set, thou I am already happy with the outcome but I still want more polished  skin. 

If your a working girl and want to try this product I highly suggest to go and by a good moisturizer, because this can help to lessen the peeling of discomfort due to peeling of face/exfoliation. Plus this will help you less unconscious in your surroundings, this will really helps you a lot to lessen the redness and peeling in your face.

If you are a makeup wearer, and you are using this set and your face starts to peel, I highly suggest to give your face a time to peel and heal, so for a short time stop using a makeup. You can use moisturizer but not those tinted one, no BB creams and foundations because I promise this will looks awful during the peeling process.   .    

That is all for my written review for this DR, Alvin Rejuvenating Set Professional Skin Care. Leave me a comment and share me your thoughts and experience regarding this product, I really love to hear them or you can ask me anything about the product I'm happy to answer all your questions :) ..
