MAYBELLINE LIP POLISH BY COLOR SENSATIONAL IN "GLAM 6"

Hello my loves! How are y’all? Well, today, I’ll be reviewing on a lip product from Maybelline. You know what, I just realized that I’ve been only posting about drugstore products! Hahaha! Hope my next review will be on a high-end product! :P Without further delay, let’s get into the review!

Product: Maybelline Lip Polish by Color Sensational in “Glam 6”

Price: Around RM36 (GST included) 

Quantity: 5.0 ml or 0.17 fl.oz. 

Shelf life: 3 years

Available at: Drugstores (Watson & Guardian)





Appearance: I really like the packaging, it’s unique! It looks like a lipstick (with bullet) but when you twist the cap, there you go… A lip polish with a flexible leaf-shaped applicator. Look at the color of this lip polish, beau-ti-ful! Dark skin beauties, this shade will look amazing on you.  


What it says?
Formulated with trio concentrates of potent color extract, concentrated balm, and glossy shine serum.

Why you’ll Love It:

- Triples up to give color, shiny gloss and moisture rich balm
- Glides smoothly to add a brilliant touch to your lips
- Multiple captivating shades


Directions: Apply Maybelline Lip Polish with its unique leaf shaped brush, starting from the center of your upper lip. Work your way from the center to the outer edges of your lips, while following the contours of your mouth. Then, glide across the entire bottom.

My Experience: This lip polish does what it says! End of story! Its pigmented and glides on my lips like butter. Very smooth and buttery formula, it also moisturizes the lips.
I personally love matte lip products, and always stay away from glossy lippies. But this one, is definitely one of my favorite! Even though it’s super shiny and glossy, with just blotting my lips with a tissue paper, my problem is solved! It won’t look completely matte but still pretty with a lil bit of glossy finish.

Yes, it does transfers to cup when drinking but trust me, the longevity is toooo good for a drugstore product! It last for more than 5 hours, of course without eating or drinking. What I love about this shade is, since it’s a dark shade, even after a long day, the color still shows off. It basically, stains the lip. I’m not sure about other shade though.

Just to test it, after applying 2 coats of this lip polish, I wipe it off with tissue and then followed by makeup remover. The stain is still there! I washed it with water, the stain is still there!! *heart-eyes emoji* Isn’t it great?! 



Pros:

~ Smooth & buttery formula
~ Not sticky or tacky
~ Doesn’t feel heavy on lips
~ Keeps the lips moisturized for a long time
~ Stays for more than 5 hours
~ Very pigmented
~ Doesn’t settle into fine line of the lips


Cons:

~ Super glossy



Will I repurchase? Hmm.. May be not. Having 1 in these collection is enough for me.. J


Rate: 4/5

Thank you so much for your time!

NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM IN "STOCKHOLM"


Hey beauties! How are y’all doing? It’s been almost 3 weeks since I updated my blog, my apologies for that. I’ve been working and have no time to update my blog even on weekends.  Since today I’m on leave, I’ve decided to maximize my day to update my blog. 

Today, I’ll be reviewing on a lip product from NYX. Keep on reading for further details on these products.

Product: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in “Stockholm”

Price: RM30.00 (GST included) 

Quantity: 8ml or 0.27 fl.oz. 

Shelf life: 18 months

Available at: All Sephora outlets 







Appearance: Comes in a tube, travel friendly & has a doe foot applicator. Let’s talk about the smell now!! When I smelled it for the first time, I fell in love! It has vanilla scent to it, ooohhhh.. Smells so delicious! Stockholm is a nude shade for warm skin toned girls,  kinda peachy nude shade I would say! It has such a buttery texture which moisturize the lips so well! 


What it says? Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing.

Experience: Well, this is the second time I've purchased it, now you know it’s my favorite! *wink* I personally love this color for everyday makeup look, as it’s so natural, light weight and lasts for at least 4 hours. I don’t feel like I’m wearing something on my lips, it’s that comfortable!

But it tends to dry out and settles into the fine lines of my lips, I think it’s normal because it’s matte! Duhh! Hihihi! Exfoliate your lips and make sure that you apply some lip balm before slapping on this lip cream.

Tips: If this shade looks pale on you, try lining the lips with a brown lip liner! Create an ombre lips. It would look purrrr-fect!

Pros:

  • Light weight
  • Moisturizing
  • Pigmented
  • Smells amazing


Cons:

  • Settles into fine lines
  • Not suitable for dry lips


Will I repurchase? YAZZZZZZ!!
