Nyx Round Lipstick in B52

hello!

today i'll share my thoughts about
Nyx Roundlipstick in B52



well i actually bought 2 nyx lippies, but the other shade circe does not suit me at all
*sniff* i just posted it for swap so that maybe it could find a new home :)


back to B52,
its a nice dark rose-mauvey shade
very pigmented, its almost matte but also satin-y. :p
it smoothly glides on my lips :)




its creamy but for me that's a bit of a con cause i easily
overdo the application :( oh well i just need more practice on applying this heehee
and also the staying power is quite low.



even with the cons, i still like this lippy because the color is nice
plus its very affordable too! :)


 here's a swatch on my wrist




and swatches on my lips






that's it! heehee
i would love to try more shades from nyx :)

have a nice start of December pretty!!

NARS Blush in Amour is Love :)

hello!!

today ill share my thoughts about
NARS blush in Amour



Amour is a peachy pink shade

i think this is like orgasm without shimmer?? 
because the description of orgasm if peachy pink with shimmer heehee
*im not sure because i don't have the orgasm blush 
and i haven't tried it yet*





I LOVE LOVE THIS BLUSH!!!
heehee i love the shade of amour
its very subtle yet it gives me a healthy flush
it stays true to its description of peachy pink :)




this blush is also matte like dolce vita,
i love it even without the shimmer heehee
and because its matte, it gives a more natural glow
and it makes me look happy! :)

i would love to use this everyday LOL


here's a closer look on the pan







a swatch on my wrist





swatch on my cheeks






im really in love with amour heehee

NARS Blush in Dolce Vita

hello pretty!! :)

today ill share my thoughts about 
NARS blush in Dolce Vita



dolce vita is a dusty rose shade,
its a matte blush so no pretty shimmers this time heehee



AFAIK i don't own any matte blush, thats why im really excited
to try some matte blushes 
*the other NARS blush that im gonna review next is also matte :)*



*the pan have scratches cause i accidentaly scratched it with my nail :c*

soo back to dolce vita, 
the dusty rose-brick red shade is pretty!
i can apply it very light and i get a sheer rosy look and i can also build up
the application for a more dramatic look :)
*but too much of this blush can look very muddy*

the shade gives me a sophistacated/femine look 
i think it gives a more natural flush cause it does not have any shimmers :)


*closer look on the pan*


and of course it stays on my cheeks forever!!
superb staying power :)


a swatch on my wrist



at first i thought that dolce vita would be the same shade of outlaw 
but without the shimmers 
*the color of outlaw is rose w/ shimmers*
when i swatched it, outlaw is more on the pink side heehee :)






so here's dolce vita on my cheeks






another nice blush from NARS!!
i think i need to stop nars blushes for now, maybe i'll just add more nars next year LOL


thanks for visiting!!

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Color in Dolce Vita

hi!

today ill share my thoughts about
NARS Matte Lip Velvet Lip Color in Dolce Vita




this lip color is a *chubby* pencil type lipsticks
the texture is creamy and non drying
i love how it glides easily on my lips :)


the dolce vita shade on the other hand is a very nice
dusty rose color and its a perfect MLBB shade!!
it looks very pretty and natural

the shade provides a full pigment :)
and just like my NARS blushes, it also has a good staying power!

though i need to buy a sharpener for this chubby pencil heehee

here's a swatch on my wrist


a swatch on my lips



overall i love the idea of lipstick in pencil form heehee
and this shade of dolce vita is also love :)

i would love to have more of this velvet matte lip color
but i find it too expensive for $24/Php1350 each
*photo from nyxcosmetics.com
but then i saw that NYX cosmetics have jumbo lip colors as well!!
now that i want to try soon! :)

Mac Lipstick in Brave

hello pretty!

how's the start of your week? :)
well today, my boyfie and i watched new moon..
im happy with the movie but im quite disappointed

i've read the book, and i think i expected more from them haha.

and now im torn between jacob and edward
heehee

anywayyy on to the review,

today ill be sharing my thoughts about
MAC Lipstick in Brave

its a Satin type of lipstick



Satin Lipsticks have medium pigments
its like matte but not as dry
though i find the formula quite drying
well i just apply lip balm underneath my l/s application :)


Brave is a nude-pinkish shade with hints of beige
the pigment pay-off is medium that's why i need to apply at least 2 layers
because the outer line of my lips is quite dark *i hate it*


the lasting power is also nice :)


here's a swatch on my wrist


a swatch on my lips

overall the shade of the lipstick is okay,
*i don't hate it but i also don't know if i love it heehee*
and i wish the formula is less drying :)

thanks for dropping by!

Urban Decay Hall of Fame

hello there! :)

today i'll review another item from my sephora loot
its the Urban Decay Hall Of Fame kit


i was supposed to get the UDPP only but when i saw this kit,
i got interested because it has the UDPP in XL size plus 4 mi
ni samples
of urban decay's favorite products.


the kit costs $29..

is it worth it?

hmmmn. first, lets take a look on the products one by one

here's the main product in this kit,
the eyeshadow primer/urban decay primer potion

i got really interested in buying this because i want to try my luck on eye shadows and i guess investing on a good e/s primer is a must :)


what i like about it is that it really does it job very well!! it makes the color of the e/s pop.
it helps the e/s to not crease and it makes the e/s harder to remove too LOL.

and the angled applicator also helps in applying the primer :)

here's a swatch on my hand



next are the mini samples from this kit.


ill start with the lip products

there's a lipstick in midnight cowboy
its a sheer beige shimmer.


i tell you, its really sheer w/c i don't like :(
its like its just glitters heehee.


then there's also a pocket rocket lipgloss in timothy


its a coral with pink glow
i like the shade of this gloss
but what i don't like is the smell, it does not
stink
but the smell reminds me of something sweet. like chocolate, but
not the good smell of chocolate haha. now i can't understand what i'm typing haha. i think its chocolate with the smell of plastic. * i really can't describe it* :p

here's a swatch on my wrist


next are the samples of eye products


a sample of 24/7 eye pencil in zero is also included

its a black eyeliner
i actually like this product, it glides on smoothly and it stays on my lid for a long time.

here's a swatch on my hand

next is a sample of a skyscraper multi-benefit mascarra
its also in black shade.
the applicator of the mascarra is cute heehee.


i love this mascarra at first use but when i tried to use it again,
it clumped my eyelashes already :(


*whew*
heehee i have mixed emotions for this kit,
i don't know if i like it or not LOL.
i guess i don't hahaha.
but the primer potion is really a must try!!

thanks for reading pretty!!
