NEW- Maybelline Colour Show Lip colour review

Hello

As I was going through my lippies drawers, I realise I don't have a lot of plums and reds in my stash so I made a quick stop at Guardian. I found a new display of the Maybelline Colour Show Lipstick.

Description taken from Luxola.com

The display had the colours categorised in :

RED - Classic and iconic

PINK - Sweet or punchy
NUDE - Natural and timeless
PLUM - Dramatic and outstanding

 

Since Guardian was having a "buy 3 for the price of 2" promo, I picked up 3 colours.

 

                                          L-R: Red Siren, Nude Mocha, Plum Perfect

Red Siren 205

Nude Mocha 305

Plum Perfect 403

 

 

 



My thoughts

Priced at $9.90 each, the black plastic tube feel light but sturdy. The lipstick apply smoothly and opaque with just one swipe. It does makes my lips feel moisturised which is probably due to its glossy finish. While it can last a good 5 hours with light drinking, it does fade off a lot when I started eating. However, it leaves a nice even stain of colour on my lips. With 20 colours to chose from (5 different shades in each colour family), you can definitely find a shade or 2 that you will love. Overall, I definitely will be getting a few more shades, especially now that Luxola.com is selling them at 15% off the regular retail price. Or head to Guardian for the "3 for 2" promo!

Available at selected Watsons, Guardian, SaSa, departmental stores, major supermarkets and hypermarts, and online at Luxola

Lippy Girl Makeup - New In Singapore!

Hello

*NEW* Vegan Friendly Makeup!

Lippy Girl Makeup has the primary goal of producing professional quality cosmetics. The cosmetics with the Lippy Girl label are eco-friendly, natural, organic, vegetarian and animal friendly.  Neither our products nor ingredients are tested on animals, and our ingredients are natural, organic, vegetarian and will never contain chemical preservatives. 


To be honest, I have never heard of this brand before, cause I assume its not available here in Singapore. I had the honour to try out a few of the lipsticks that were sent to me for review purposes by the main distributor for Lippy Girl Makeup, Gulsha. Thank you.

When I received the package last week, I got a little excited when I opened it because it was package in a pinky lilac box!

 

 

 

A sleek black metal tube which is very sturdy and heavy too

Lip shimmer stick

Beware its gonna be a little picture heavy!

Looking at the colour chart provided, No.1 caught my eyes first! The other 2 I picked were No.7 & No.10

                                    L-R: No.10 Rosie Posie, No.1 Abraca-bam, No.7 Snog Me

 

My final thoughts

Packaging:
I love the sturdy sleek black packaging. Although it is heavy but I feel that its not often you can get a sturdy packaging in a lipstick.

Colour and staying power:
The choice of colours are pretty basics. You get the reds, nudes, browns as well as a colour of the year, which is Abraca-bam.

However, I was a little disappointed of how my first choice of colour swatches. It takes many swipes to get to medium intensity. I was hoping it to be more opaque and matte but it ended up a little metallic to my liking. The other two shades were more moisturising then the purple one. And colour comes off easily then the purple one.

Staying power is not the best nor the worst. Average of 4 hours just like most lipsticks does on my lips. The shimmer stick is the most moisturising out of all and great for those who don't often apply lipsticks. It gives a nice sheen to your lips without adding any colour.

All in all, I would say its an ok lipstick. Given my huge stash of lip products, I don't see myself reaching for this often.

V10 Plus skincare review

Hello,

In the previous post, I talked about my experience in attending V10 Plus workshop and how I enjoyed it. For me, if the workshop is fun, interesting and informative, I would usually not hesitate to buy their products, and so I came did a small haul. Before I go into my review, I thought it would be interesting to talk a little bit more on the products they have to offer. As it is a skincare brand, the range of products they have to offer are quite extensive.

While they have basic care like cleansers and moisturisers, what caught my interest and attention is definitely their serums. Not only they come in colourful bottles that represents different concerns, they come in 2 sizes as well! If you are someone like me, who loves trying new things, the 10ml bottles which retails for $59 each, are perfect for those who travel often too. The 30ml bottles which retails at $159 each are definitely worth your money.

If you would like to know what are different type of serums or other products they have to offer, head over to their website . Do not be overwhelmed by it as there is a skin counselling survey which you can take to find which serums suits you best.

What I love about these serums is that you don't have to change your whole skincare routine! You can use these serums as a skin supplement to your current skincare routine. Easy! And they have serums for each skincare concerns like sensitive skin series, hydrating series, anti-aging series and many more.

And if you have more that one serums to combat your different skin problems, all you have to do is just mix one drop from each serum and apply! I feel like a scientist when I do that!

 

 

So what did I get?

 



 

 

 



 

 

 

 

My thoughts

 

I love it. It definitely makes my skin look brighter and smoother. Even my sister commented that my skin looks good and different! I love the colourful glass bottles and I do not have to change my skincare routine even though I have 4 new serums to add. I would definitely want to get more of the serums. FYI, the picture is not edited! No photoshop, no filter! LOVE LOVE!
