Top 5 Favorite Natural Shade Lipsticks




Hi everyone, I'm back with a new blog. Today I will talk about my top 5 current favorite natural shade lipsticks. These are very moisturizing, very natural looking lipsticks. I have been wearing them all the time and everywhere because they are very wearable. They are best suitable lipsticks for school, for work, for everyday wear.
First of all the the Dior lip glow. It is a lip balm but the color shows up differently on everyone's lips. It has the most flattering pink color. Dior lip glow last for around 2-3 hours.


Next is NYX butter gloss in Eclair and Rimmel moisture lipstick in let get naked. Both lipsticks are nude pink color and super moisturizing. They give the most perfect nude pink color for light complexion. Those colors make your face looks brighter overall.

Revlon colorburst matter balm is the only lipstick in my top 5 is matter finish. However, the formula is also really creamy, easy to wear, and easy to apply. The color is 205 - Elusive, a pretty cool pink color. All the lipsticks in the colorburst line are very creamy and smooth. It never dries out your lips and smooth out your lip lines.
Lastly, I have IOPE lipstick in number 44 - Forever Pink. It's a Korean brand lipstick. The formula is very moisturizing (again). The color is a bright pink color but not overwhelming. When wear it, you can notice that your face is brighter and more youthful. It's suitable for minimal makeup day but give you a pick me up kind of feeling ( you get what i mean right?)

That's my top 5 fav natural shade lipsticks, what is yours?

CHANEL BLUSH DUO TWEED EFFECT 'TWEET SIENNA' REVIEW

Hi everyone, today i'm going to review the chanel blush in 'tweet rose'. It's a beautiful color blush color from chanel. I got it from Nordstrom a while ago and it's retail for $45 in US. It's a prefect color for summer because it gives a nice glow and settle coral color with a small amount of shimmer and it does't emphasize pores at all.
Packaging: It come with a regular black compact with the chanel logo on top. The brush come with the blush is ok but not too great but it's very handy for traveling or on the go.



Product: I love the coral color of this blush, it's very prefect for summer and on the day time. It last me around 5 to 6 hours ( FYI, I have combination skin) without using any setting spray.

Final thought: overal, I really happy with this blush for summer. It last a long time on my skin and gives me a nice glowing finish. If I want to use it for night time, I just have to apply it more heavier and it's good to go. 
  

'Diorskin Nude' Natural Glow Sculpting Powder Review

It has been a while since I post a blog, today, I'm going to review the Diorskin Sculpting Powder in number 020 'Beige Praline'.
Packaging: This packaging like a reflecting mirror with the 'Dior' word engraved in the middle. I personally don't like this design because it's very easy to get dirty and the finger print will be easy seen on the packaging after uses. The compact comes with a small brush with pretty soft hair. It becomes very handy when we want to take it with us on the go. 



The product: It has 3 different colors: the top one is the nude highlighter, the second one is a coral blush, the third one is the power.
 For the highlighter, it gives a really nice highlight, reflected light affect. it's not overdo but not that easy to notice when you blend it. So far, I love the dim light affect this highlighter give.
For the blush, it's a nice sheen coral color without any shimmer (I hate shimmer because it's emphasized pore). However, as you can see in the swatches, after blending, the blush become super hard to notice. I'm NW25 in MAC and yet, I can barely see this color appear on my face. If you have super fair skin, this blush may work for you but the color doesn't last that long at all. It fade away very fast , after around 1-2 hours of wearing.
For the power, I really really like this powder. It gives me really natural, soft, non-cakey finish. I use it to fix my face when I notice any cakey on my face. It has light to medium coverage. it's a good product for touch-up.



Swatches of Diorskin Nude Sculpting powder


product after blended

Final thought: To be honest, I'm really love Dior products,however, I have to say, this is a miss for me. It doesn't worth the price ( I got it for $50 at Nordstrom). It doesn't do a good job of the purpose of the product: sculpting product. The product doesn't long last and the blush is so bad quality. The only good thing about this is a powder, but if you want a good touch up powder, just go for their own powder product, you will get more product with better price.

lioele pop orange tint review

The lioele lip tint in orange is a MISS for me! I bought this product from pretty&cute website after reading lot of good review and hoping that it would make a nice dupe for the benefit Chachatint. However, this product is nowhere near the level of Chachatint. First, the Chachatint has more color contraction which u only need a very little product to get a nice color. However this product is very liquid and watery, it requires much more porcut in order to get a color that I want. Now only that, as u can see from the swatch, it is a more pink color than coral color which is the most disappointed part. Beside that, this product also very long lasting wearing but also makes your lips dry quickly like the Chachatint.

After blended, give a very more pink color rather than coral which is very much different from the advertised picture

Overall, I would only give this product a C because it gives out a color which is much more different from how the company says it would be.

Laneige uv total based 40 SPF++ review

  About the product: Has pink based undertone High SPF -40 SPF Light weight Water based Floral smell - I love the smell it's really light but the smell goes away right after apply on my face Really light coverage - it suppose to be a based for foundation but it also gives out a really light hint of color to even out skin tone Very sheer finish if wear alone If you wear a matter foundation and powder on top of it, it will give you a very nice overall natural finish with just a little bit of glow which I love I think this product doesn't suitable for oily skin because it does give out really sheer finish but if you have combination to dry skin, it would make a great make up base for your foundation.
