PICKED : Lip Vanity! August Haul

Hello, pretties!

I recently checked ZALORA to find some catchy birthday present for a friend and a few colorful lippies catch my eyes (hehehe..)  And since I love everything PINK, you will understand why I grab these girly-colored lippies.

Here's my ZALORA finds :

FROM LEFT - RIGHT : 

Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Lip Scrub, Wet n Wild Sunset Peach, 

Collection Volume Sensation Perfect Pink

PRODUCT NAME : ELLANA MINERAL COSMETICS LIP SCRUB  (in Strawberry Vanilla)

Size : 10g

Price : PhP165.00

Of course, before putting on lipstick, make sure that dry and flaky lips are properly exfoliated.  You don't want having flaky lips with lipstick on it. (I will write a separate review of this SOON!)

PICKED LIPSTICK #1

 PRODUCT NAME  : COLLECTION VOLUME SENSATION  #2 PERFECT PINK

Size : 5mL.

Price : PhP249.00

Straight from the UK,  Collection Colour brings the Philippines a piece of cosmetic perfection.  Volume Sensation Lipstick contains up to 40% volumizing ingredients to plump up your pout in a flash! It's a moisturizing lipstick with a luxurious creamy feel. 

I only use this once.  I love its color but I don't like the shiny, shimmering effect it gives on my lips.  On its first application, I did not notice the sheen but after several minutes, I can see that there were glittery effect on it.  (Imagine silver dusts.. Hehehe)  And it really made my lips plump, but still I don't like it.  What catches my attention on purchasing this is its packaging.  Again, I love PINK!  Let's not argue on that. Lol!  

But if you ask if I will be buying this product again? MAYBE NOT!  The major no-no for me is the glittery effect it gives on my lips. 

PRODUCT RATING : 2 / 5

PICKED LIPSTICK #2

 

PRODUCT NAME : WET N WILD SILK FINISH LIPSTICK (SUNSET PEACH)

Size : 0.13 oz.

Price : (on sale) Php 99.00

• Enriched with vitamins A and E, and aloe vera for moist-looking lips
• Long lasting
• Silky finish

I love using this on top of a red or dark pink matte lippie.  This gives a silky finish to my lips.  It keeps my lips hydrated because it is enriched with Vitamins A and E, and aloe vera extract, it does not only makes your lips moist-looking, but also nourished.  The downside is that it does not stay long.  You need to re-apply after 2 - 3 hours.  It also has a not-so-appealing smell that reminds me of oil.   Maybe they could also improve its packaging especially its transparent cover.  Once you drop it off, it has a big possibility that it will be cracked or broken.  But of course, I have to consider its price.  Its performance goes a long way considering its value.

Will I buy this product again?  Maybe but not for now.  There could be other lippies out there that would give a better performance.   

PRODUCT RATING : 3 / 5 

Aside from my Zalora finds, I also got a chance to go to Watson's and spotted this IN2IT MOISTURE INTENSE LIPSTICK in PINK ALARM.

PICKED LIPSTICK #3

PRODUCT NAME : IN2IT MOISTURE INTENSE LIPSTICK (PINK ALARM)

Price : 375.00

It has a nice packaging with swirly details on it.   It also has no fancy smell, no taste and is not heavy on the lips, you can feel that it's not there. What I love about this is that it has lasting power that can stay on the lips for more than 6 hours.  I don't need to reapply from time to time even if I have eaten foods.  And the color is so nice it can match on any skin color.   It has a matte-like finish yet it does not dry up my lips.  I noticed that it also has a moisturizing power that leaves my lips moisturized every time I use it.   But anyways, I still apply lip balm before using this one. (Old habit that I could not let go.)

Will I buy this product again?  Yes!  Aside from the fact that I love the color, one major factor that leaves a good impression is that it lasts longer on my lips.  I also love its packaging.

PRODUCT RATING : 4.5 / 5
