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!

Please do comment your thoughts & share it with me what’s your favorite lip product at the moment!  xoxo

REVIEW: ESSENCE SILKY TOUCH BLUSH (AUTUMN PEACH)


Hello ladies! So the other day, My sister and I decided to shop for drugstore makeup products at Watson as they had weekly sales going on! Who doesn't want discounts?! We all know, only 2 things can change a woman’s mood; I love you & 50% discount! Hahah! 

We grabbed quite a number of them, you will see them in my upcoming reviews. (I just need some time to try it, so that I can give you my honest opinion). I was actually on the hunt of getting my hands on the Essence’s ombre blush but I don’t think they have it in Malaysia, I’m not sure, correct me if I’m wrong. So I grabbed a different blush from Essence. Scroll down to know if it’s a Yay or Nay..

Product: Essence’s Silky Touch Blush in “Autumn Peach”

Quantity: 5 gm

Price: RM12.90

Available at: Watson’s or any other drugstores. 






Appearance: Powder blush with a decent packaging. Very light weight as it’s convenient for travelling. This blush feels so silky and blends like a dream. Slightly shimmery but hardly visible once applied. It has a mild cinnamon smell, but trust me it’s not overpowering at all. The smell fades away really quickly, so no worries.


What it says: Silky soft blush for a fresh looking complexion all day long.




( Apologies, for the tag still attached to the blush, as it will rip off the sticker if I remove it)

Ingredients: TALC, MICA, MAGNESIUM CARBONATE, OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE, ISOSTEARYL NEOPENTANOATE, ZINC STEARATE, ALUMINA, TIN OXIDE, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, CI 19140 (YELLOW 5 LAKE), CI 15850 (RED 6/RED 7 LAKE), CI 77491, CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE).


Directions: Apply lightly on cheeks.




My Experience: I have been using this blush for a while now and you know what? I love it! Of all the colors in their collections, this autumn peach is the bomb.com! Loving the color! Even though it’s slightly shimmery, it’s still appropriate for daily wear as it looks very natural on face.

On first application, the blush won’t show up that much because of the shade, but trust me, other shades from this collections are much more pigmented. I wore it on humid weather & it stays up on my face for 4 hours which is quite impressive for a drugstore product. “Autumn peach” suits for all skin shade, as for dark skin beauties, you’ll just have to layer up the blush till you’re satisfied with the color pay off. 


Look how pigmented the blush is! It definitely compliments my skin! 

Pros:
  • Gives natural finish to skin
  • Lovely shade
  • Blends very well
  • Smooth and silky texture
  • Comes in full size
  • Very affordable


Cons:
  • None!!

Will I repurchase? : Definitely!! I’m so in love with this shade, and I would like to try other shades as well.
