Shiseido Lip Crayon Review in LC7 and a Christmas Greeting!

Hello everyone, it's almost Christmas!!!. Woohoo! I can't wait for Santa to arrive and give me my gifts. I know i've been a very good girl so i truly deserve some rewards. I made my post look "Christmasy" in time for the occasion and the crayon shade itself reminds me of poinsettias, hence the "merry" background...

Nice lip crayon to use for the holidays

I've always liked lip crayons

It makes lipstick application so much easier

No need to use a separate lip brush, liner or whatsoever

Just this tool and a steady hand 

And you're ready to go

Reminds me of childhood days

When i'd meticulously outline 

All the characters of my coloring book

Only this time it's on my lips...

Automatic liner (love)

I like that this crayon is automatic

No sharpening needed which is always a BIG plus!

Though it's not pointy-sharp

It's good enough to trace/define 

Even the most crooked mouth

Pretty shade of warm red

The color looks rich, natural and luxurious

Reminds me of sweet berries

Like a decadent indulgence on my lips...

It glides evenly and smoothly

As i fill the rest of my mouth

With its silky texture

LC7 shade

The lasting power is average

A little reapplication is still needed

every once in a while just like any regular lipstick

It can be quite drying too after sometime

But a little gloss like my trusty

Sexy motherpucker tube helps a lot!

Lovely almost natural looking red

The finish is semi-glossy, not over the top

It is not sticky and feels so light

It will leave your lips with a nice and lovely sheen 

That you would really love to be seen in

Will i repurchase?

Yes i will! it is a potential MLBB:-)

I like this product so much that there's a teeny weeny part

of me that wants to collect the other colors as well...

But i promise myself i won't be too greedy with makeup anymore

I have to add that to my New Year's resolutions...

If you are into lip crayons

You should definitely give this one a try

It's worth it! :-)

I will leave you all with a Christmas greeting from me!

Enjoy the holidays!

Hope all your Christmas wishes will come true:-)

See you all again soon

Ho-ho-ho!!!

Shiseido Silky Eyeshadow Quad in Rose Tones

Hello there ladies, it's another weekend once again and Christmas is getting nearer and nearer. I hope you're halfway through or almost done with your X'mas shopping. As for me, i haven't started yet and i have no choice but to do it asap. I can't wait to cross off some makeup products on my wishlist *so excited!!!*  Plus i will be purchasing a few special items too...not for me but to share something back to my dear readers soon. Will keep you guys posted :-)

Moving on...

Comes with 2 sponge-tip applicators

These are almost the EXACT colors IRL

Classic eggplant casing

I was very excited the first time i got this because pinks and purples are my favorite colors. However, the moment i tried it i got extremely disappointed. Color payoff was quite bad (sans primer), it took me several tries before the color would actually come out. To make matters worse, fallouts were everywhere! I hated the marks it left under my eyes especially over concealer.It made my dark circles seem worse! So i had to be extra careful everytime i apply this which is unnecessary stress. Because of that i stopped using this altogether and secretly loathed Shiseido for creating such a crappy product. I felt duped!

Silky texture

Matte eyeshadow

PROS:

-smooth silky texture

-lovely color combination

-lasted a long time (esp with primer)

-highly buildable colors

-didn't crease nor cake

CONS:

-i hated those fallouts!

-had to relayer for color to pop

-compact is prone to fingerprints and marks

-never liked those sponge-tips

-quite pricey

A few months later, when i discovered the joy and importance of using eyeshadow primer, i decided to give this product another shot. Using MAC's Prep+Prime eye base, i sweeped the shadow all over my lids. This time around i noticed that the colors were more vivid. The silky powder blended well with the base. I was very happy coz' the palette won't be put to waste after all! Now i'm mixing and matching this quad with other shades and brands.

The lasting power is superb with primer! It lasted from noon til' midnight. The eyeshadow still looks freshly applied even after a long day's work. Because of that i started to like this product. I don't know if it's just me but there's something classic and natural about this product. Women who are too busy, who are not so much into makeup but likes branded stuffs, and those who are afraid to venture out of their comfort zones might actually like this. But to the rest who've been there and done that, this might just fall short. 

Will i repurchase?

Although i made this work for me, i still am not overly crazy about it. So i'm gonna pass. There are more brands out there that i think delivers better results. I just wish they made this more pigmented. Then that would've been a totally different story...

XOXO!!! :-)

Shiseido Purewhite EX

6 tablets a day (a lot whew!)

   I'm digging this beauty supplement now. Although it's been around the market for quite sometime, I only just recently tried it. It promises to be more potent than the original formula. They said if you love the old Shiseido Purewhite then you'll surely love Purewhite EX even more.

   Since Shiseido is a very much reputable brand when it comes to skincare, I didn't think twice in buying it. I paid P2,500 for a bottle which lasts for a month. You have to take 6 tablets a day. Twice in each meal. I just made mine 3 tablets for breakfast and 3 before sleeping. My intake depends on what I think works best for me. The tablets are bland tasting, small and relatively easy to swallow. It's a perfect maintenance for me during non-IV Saluta days.


   What amazed me with this product is that it lessened my stubborn freckles and sunspots which I've had for the longest time. My cheeks looked clearer and glowing. And in less than a months time, I already noticed the difference! Even the resident huge pores became finer and less noticeable. My skin feels smoother and looks brighter. I'm glad this product worked well for me. I will definitely buy more bottles coz I rarely encounter beauty pills that really gives superb results. If you're on the lookout for a great skin supplement you better give this product a try and you won't regret it.

   I'm loving my skin more and more especially when I wake up and my skin looks good even without any makeup. We should invest more in products that works best internally because it's useless to buy tons and tons of expensive makeup when your skin looks awful. Our skins should be perfect canvasses for the makeup to look utterly divine and flawless!


Thanks for dropping by sweeties! :-)
