Product Review: Loreal Glam Shine Cream-Glam Red

I've never been a lipstick girl. I could count on my fingers the number of times that i applied lipstick in my whole life. And 85% of it was done by makeup artist to have my pictorial done and some are big occasions like debuts, proms and wedding parties. The reason, primarily is because i hated my lips! It's full and added from deep reds, sweet pink to barely there nudes would make it look too plump and would focus on my lips while wearing it. So i only have gloss and some lip moisturizer with me whenever i go. I really really hated my lips up to the point that i wanted it to be reduced by surgery..My mom already inquired and asked the price and how would be the procedure of it. But they advised us not to do it since it's one of my "assets".

Till one day, I was looking some stash of makeup on my mom's drawer and found a lipstick, i decided to try and put some on. I tried a Bright Deep Reds and to my surprised it looks good on me! So i immediately checked online to look for some lipstick and decided to try the Loreal Glam Shine Cream in Glam red. At first,i'm a bit hesistant to try using it while going out shopping. I'm not used to it since i always wore nude and sweet pink gloss over my lips. But i pulled it off by doing my makeup as simple as possible so it won't look too overdo.


Personal Review:

The silver box packaging of it stands out behind the counter, the lipstick itself is in a silver container with cute pink ring band between the bottom and the lid that makes it look elegant and classy. The product is glossy enough to make my lips appear soft and supple. It also provides all day hydrations that lasts for hours. The texture is creamy and rich, color is really pigmented that shines for hours. A combination of glossy and volume boosting effect really captures the heart of makeup addicts all over the world. It has a pleasant fruity smell that seems so addicting and would want to use it every given opportunity. What impressed me the most is that this wonderful product could conceal my chapped and dry lips because of it's creamy formula. It's staying power is pretty good, that i won't be needing to reapply time to time.

Tips:

-To make your lipstick lasts for long hours, apply lip liner first. That would surely help in making your lipstick stay put for long.

Reviews: 4u2 Cosmetics I-Pro Palette Impressive

I passed by Watson's last week to hunt down newly released makeups, while checking 4u2 cosmetics and the moment i laid my eyes on this i-pro palette, it's like experiencing love at first sight! I couldn't take my eyes off it! and i have the feeling that i MUST buy this palette or else i won't be be able to sleep that night especially it was already within my reach, and all i had to do was to grab it and go directly to the counter. Well, I gladly did and listen to my heart and bought this wonderful palette..:) But before doing that i had to check whether all the powder in the palette was still in compact, since i already heard that many people complained regarding cracked/destroyed powders and so i had to take precautions. Upon checking the palette, all powders are still intact and i'm sure was lucky because the Shade Impressive has only 1 stock left! The saleslady said that it's their bestseller and restocking of that shade will take a month!!! Anway, here's my personal review of thsis palette, i aslo provided a picture of it for a better view.




Front View

Back View

The reason I bought this palette is primarily of it's high pigment colors. It is smooth textured, blendable, and well pigmented. It may also be used wet to bring out it's deeper effect. This eyeshadows has a bit of creamy texture that will surely stick in your eyes in just a swipe, it is also buildable so if you want to have a more intense look apply 2 or more layers of shadow.

Pros:

-Reasonably priced
-Great color payoff is fantastic
-it is sleek and may be convenient to bring it anywhere with me.
-Highly Pigmented, Smooth Textured and Blendable Colors.
-Doesn't Crease or Fades
-Lasts the whole day.


Cons:

-It's not really a con but i hope they had included an applicator in the palette.
-They should've released matte eyeshadows, they only have shimmer & frost type.


Tips:

-You may also use this as an eyeliner, just use an eyeliner brush tap it in the powder then start applying in your lower lids or waterline. It will surely stick in your eyes and stay there until you take it off. I tried it on my sister and applied the black in her waterline, it was still there in it's full color until the next day wearing it for more than 24 hours!!


Overall:

This is definetely an eye candy! The colors are captivating and I could just stare at the palette admiring the stunning colours all day. I could create a lot of variety and different looks by using this palette..so far i've created an arabic & rainbow look(will post the pic in one of these days.). I can also create a knock out look with this 8 color shimmer eyeshadow powders, for it's combination you'll surely get a second look from people as you passes by. As for the quality, it speaks for its self..the shadow powder stays put even after long hours of wearing it, it doesn't crease or fades. This packaging is sleek so it can fit in your bags. It also comes with a built in mirror that you could use in applying your eyeshadows. I also recommend you ladies to try their other collection line, especially the duos eyeshadow(price is around 224php). It comes with a built in mirror plus an applicator. What more can i say?? This palette is a good value for your money!

Reviews:4u2 Glitz Liquid Eyeliner

4u2 cosmetics is made in thailand. These are available locally in some malls and Watson's. Haven't bought any cosmetics from them before..until i saw the Glitz Collection line. This line is more on party and clubbing collection that has glittery eyeliners and various colors of mascaras for party-goers.

I've been so intrigued with it that my boyfriend ended up buying one liquid eyeliner for me!!!!:) Planning to get all colors available, but then i'm not so familiar with the brand yet so i ended up with only one.:) I'm so fond with the green one that i decided to choose that color.

Sorry for the bad lighting, but look how the color appears so shimmery and so high in pigments.:)

Available Colors:

Blue
Brown
Black
Green
Gold
Violet

Pros:
-Higly Pigmented and Long staying power.
-Colors are intense.
-It is indeed smudge-proof.
-Affordable yet snazzy.
-Easy to remove
-No allergy reaction or any burning sensation after application.
-Takes only a little time to dry on the lids.
-Easy To apply.


Cons:
-May smudge a bit for people who has oily lids.
-It can be easily removed by water.


Overall:
I'm head over heels with this Liquid eyeliner!!! This product can be used by any makeup addicts, it may be professionals or even first timers!!! it is easy to apply. Handles are long enough for you to apply in comfort. It doesn't limit you for party or clubbing in using this product. It may also be used for casual affairs depending on the color you're going to use. It's so afforadable, for a price of 225php($4.60) you can enjoy these liquid liners without burning a hole in your pocket.


Tips:
Apply eye primer into your lids first,or maybe not..it depends on you. Since this liquid eyeliner holds with or without eye primer. Make sure this will be your lasts to apply in your eyes. May be applied 1-2 layers of your choice. Apply gently to create a precise line.

-For first timers, you may want to use an eyeliner pencil first to have a stencil. So you won't go beyond the desired line. Or...
-Draw dots on your lids with an eyeliner, then connect the dots.
-Apply the eyeliner in slow strokes..Do not immediately draw a full line at once.
-After application, do not open your eyes immediately. Wait for it to dry up first.
