Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge in RD 388 Review

Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge in RD 388

Bought for: Free with points | SRP: P1150/6g

Bought from: Sample Room

Here's a quick review on a luxury product I got from the brand Shiseido. I have this product for quite a while now but I never thought of blogging about it just now. It was a hit and miss with this product so I'm quite excited to share my thoughts with you.

CLAIMS

A touch of stain that blends instantly. A tint-type rouge with a water-based 3-layer separation technology that creates a look with a natural luster and color that appear to emanate from within. It moisturizes and softens lips while giving a long-wearing color and luster for up to 6 hours.

HOW TO USE

The diagonal tip functions as a blender for an airy, light finish. Gently tap the applicator tip on the lips, starting at the center to spread with a smear over the entire lip. When both lips are rubbed together, a natural luster emanates as the color stains the lips, prolonging wear.

PACKAGING

The overall shimmery casing is really looking grand and glamorous. It definitely looks good from a distance. I also like the slanted doe foot applicator and stuff too. The thing is, the packaging weighs so light and the casing feels cheap as it's just made of plastic coated with some sleek paint.

TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

This is claimed to be as an ultra hydrating lip tint so I kind of predicted that it won't be as matte as the usual which added to my excitement. This has the consistency of a lip gloss but with an opaque color. I hate those drying lip tints that make my puckers crack, peel and bleed. True enough, this has a creamy, soft formula that glides on the lips so easily and is very hydrating. It's lightweight too, non-sticky and doesn't wear uncomfortably on the lips. On the other hand, the product does not settle completely on the lips as what I expect with lip products that has the consistency of a lip gloss. It easily transfers but you lips will still be left soft and smooth for hours.

PIGMENTATION

The pigmentation sucks, at least for this shade in RD 388. It's a muted pink in shade and is supposed to tint the lips while providing luster. As suggested, you have to stick your lips together to blend during application to prolong the wear. It does it's job in providing a pinkish glow but once you drink, lick or accidentally wipe your lips, the color comes off too. I would disagree if others say that this is long-lasting. Take a look at my swatch down below. There's barely a percent of color that's left after wiping the product ONCE with pure cotton pad.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Just like what I've mentioned, it's a hit and miss with Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge. Still, I find myself bringing it with me everywhere because it's very simple and natural-looking on the lips. I also love that it makes my lips look plumper and healthier. I have super dry lips and I badly needed a lip product that would instantly soothe and calm it while also providing a bit of color. I'd prefer it over drying tints even though the price is on the steeper side.

For a long-lasting pinkish glow, dab some tint onto your lips and top it off with Shiseido Maquillage Watery Rouge for an enhanced glow and luster. That works best for me!

WithMe Signal Velvet Lip Master in 25 Brick Signal Review

WithMe Signal Velvet Lip Master

Bought for: Free | SRP: $11.99 (approximately P650)

From: Charis Celeb

Hey, guys! Tonight, I'll be talking about another product I discovered from Charis. Almost 90% of the products I got from their website are absolutely adorable and products I swear by. When they opened up a new item ready for review, I couldn't tame my excitement because...what's it gonna be this time?

I haven't read any blogs about this yet so it's an honor to be writing this before (probably) anyone else does. I don't usually read reviews prior to writing a post because I don't want them messing up with my own experience but this time is different. WithMe is a brand that's very new to me and I'm entangled to a love and hate relationship with this lip velvet. I wanted to know if everyone else felt the same way.

CLAIMS

It is a matte-type lip tint keeping the color vivid for a long time by sticking smooth velvet mousse to your lips thin and lightly as if you put on nothing.

CAUTIONS

INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE

PACKAGING

Product comes in a khaki-colored cardboard box and has all necessary information like claims, directions, ingredients and manufacturing/expiry dates. Overall packaging is really nice. I like the color block idea and that the middle part is transparent so you can take a look on what's on the inside or what shade you're having.

The doe-foot applicator is useful too and the slanted angle makes it easier to apply the product onto the lips and follow the lip line.

SHADE, TEXTURE AND PIGMENTATION

I actually love the shade which is vampy and it makes me look more matured. It's an awesome Fall shade--not that we have it in the Philippines but it just reminds me of that particular season I wish we have. It's a brick red in shade with a cool undertone and I think it's the kind of red that would be more fitting to people with lighter complexions. With that shade and undertone, it gives a slight brightening effect to the teeth and I feel like I can do toothy grins whenever I want to.

Texture-wise, you'll get a creamy, thick and intense pigmentation with just one swipe. One dip can already give your lips a full color. A slight dab can already give your face some color. It's very easy to apply especially with that slight angled tip. It takes a few minutes for it to completely dry, on during those moments, formula is a little tacky. Your lips will tend to stick together but not in an uncomfortable way. It sets and looks matte but still with a little bit of hydration. ***not sure if I'm making any sense lol***

LONGEVITY AND PERFORMANCE

WithMe Signal Velvet Lip Master applies and blends like a dream. It has good color payoff but I would suggest you layer first with a lip balm or moisturizer if you have dry lips like mine. It tends to crack during midday and will leave your lips looking dehydrated. It also has the tendency to emphasize dryness of the lips. MATTE LIPSTICKS. After the first hour, I notice that product has been building up on my lip lines looking all patchy and flaky. This is why a good lip balm is necessary. To be fair, most liquid lipsticks I have tried before do the same. The only things I do to combat these are scrub and moisturize prior to usage.

This product has a pretty decent staying power and can withstand light snacks and drinking with only the inner part fading. It stays good almost all throughout the day and the maximum times I do retouch is about once or twice, pretty much after lunch and when going home. You know, sometimes, you just wanna face the world completely made up haha. Oh, by the way, it's not a pain to remove. I use my CLINIQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF MAKE UP REMOVER and voila, all traces gone.

If you are interested in getting this product, you may do so by visiting my charis celeb shop to get this for a discounted price! Click HERE to shop for WithMe Signal Velvet Lip Master  or visit MY CHARIS SHOP for all the items tested and recommended by yours truly. Until next, happy blogging!

Review: Colourette Colourtints Intense Blend Lip and Cheek Oil in Bestseller Shades

Colourette Cosmetics Colourtints

Bought for: P250/each

Bought from: Colourette Cosmetics

Colourette Colourtints are well-raved by most of bloggers and vloggers I know. Just like the COLOURSNAPS DEWY MULTI-STAINS, these are usually sold out online. They said that these are type of tints that has the pigmentation of a lipstick but has the lightness of a tint which I agree on. The shade selection is gorgeous so I'll never miss the opportunity of buying some bestseller shades for the world.

CLAIMS

 

INGREDIENTS

PACKAGING

The tints comes with tiny colored boxes with some information about the product such as the claims, ingredients and manufacturing dates. I find them so cute and colorful that I even planned on keeping the boxes though they don't have much use.

The tints are housed in tiny glass bottles with a sleek black cap--the type of packaging you get when you buy some Maybelline nail polish. I am used to it though because I have tried typical tints before that's in this type of bottles too. There's just some pros and cons though. The overall packaging makes its so nice to be displayed on vanity area, admit it! It's very easy to use and is hygienic too. However, since it is made of glass, it definitely would break easily if the owner is quite careless.

 

The mouth of the bottle is also huge enough to spill the formula all over when you accidentally bang on it. The applicator is a little funny too. It's like you are applying nail polish onto your lips. It serves its purpose but it's kinda ticklish. I hope Colourette could improve on this. I'd prefer doe-foot applicators which are way more efficient.

 

SHADES I GOT

There are two types of Colourtints: Fresh and Matte. In six shades I got, only one is in classic fresh formula.

• Zola (Matte) - This is one of my favorite nude shade. It has the perfect blushy nude color I'm looking for and the pigmentation is just amazing.
• Coco (Matte) - This is blackened red in color and perfect for night outs.
• Liv (Matte) - The pinkish nude shade is great for everyday use and can match any makeup I'm wearing. I receive compliments whenever I am wearing this shade and this has got to be one of my top picks.
• Naomi (Matte) - It's more like midtone/salmon pink in shade, applies evenly and is also nice for an everyday look.
• Maddie (Fresh) - This is a deeper shade of pink that works better as a cheek tint rather than a lip tint. Pigmentation for me is a bit lacking.
• Ondrei (Matte) - This is probably the most pigmented among all shades I've got. It does not look  nice in swatches but it does wear very flattering. It compliments every skin tone and the shade is just so unique!

SCENT, TEXTURE AND CONSISTENCY

The tints smells sweet and I have nothing against it. They are kinda runny when applied and they have the tendency to stain your teeth so be mindful and check! The key is good layering. Don't apply too much on the initial coat. APPLY. LET DRY. SECOND COAT. Since the formula are all liquid-y, it would take some time for them to set so you have to bear with it. However, I like that I don't need to apply moisturizer underneath since the product itself has moisturizers (Beeswax and Argan Oil) to keep the lips hydrated. Adding more moisture will make the product harder and longer to set.

I only have one Fresh variant which is the Maddie, and from the swatches given, you can tell that it gives less pigmentation that the matte ones. It appears more like a typical tint though and fades a bit faster than the rest. Among the matte variants, Zola and Ondrei appears to have the best pigmentation as they apply more even and a single coat is all it takes and I'm good to go. By the way, for them to work, it would be best if you shake the bottles real hard before application. Since it's oil-based, there's a tendency for the oil to separate out of the mixture when left unused. So always, always shake the bottle prior to use.

 

LONGEVITY AND PERFORMANCE

These colourtints are definitely worth buying. I mean you can never go wrong with its price tag. It's true to its claim of being true to color, intensely blendable and pigmented like lipsticks. I just have something to say about longevity. I don't think it lasts as long as other liquid lipsticks given that I drink and eat at work. It stays pretty much about 5 hours with minimal fading but I still think it's a decent staying power. I just don't want to say it's hyper-lasting because I've tried tints before that stays longer. Also, I have to point out that these smudge so easily probably because of the oil it's made with. This is just a minor complain though. I still love Colourtints.

 

If you are looking for intensely blendable cheeks tints, I would highly recommend these ones from Colourette. Possible the best cheek tints out there that won't tug or leave streaky red spots on your skin. Use it with a finger or your favorite stippling brush and look gorgeously flushed all day! What's more incredible is that it's just P250 a piece and one bottle will surely last you months.

So have you tried these Colourette Colourtints? What's your favorite shade by far?

Sigma Creme De Couture Liquid Lipstick in New Mod Review

Sigma Creme De Couture Liquid Lipstick in New Mod

Bought for: $15/3.2g (Around P800)

Bought from: Sigma Beauty

I love using liquid lipsticks if we are talking about staying power. I also have never tried any high-end liquid lipsticks before so when Sigma had a midyear sale, I decided to grab a piece of their Creme de Couture Liquid Lipstick. I picked up New Mod because for me, it's the only shade from the makeup line that does not look too bright and bold. Never saying I don't like bright or bold colors, I just think they are not something I'd rather wear on a daily basis.

PACKAGING

The product comes in typical gloss container with a doe foot applicator. It also includes the Sigma name in there with iridescent design. I'm not sure if you usually care with lipstick's ingredients but if you are, good thing they're displayed on the box.

CLAIMS

Show off your pout in these long-wearing, matte lipsticks. Even with the extremely saturated color, they won't feather, no liner needed. Formulated without: Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates.  Shades available: Fox Glove (bright blackberry), New Mod (nude mauve), Peach-Tini (hot, watermelon pink) and Top That (neon-blue pink).

TEXTURE, PIGMENTATION AND EASE OF APPLICATION

Sigma Creme De Couture Liquid Lipstick in New Mod has a very rich, highly pigmented formulation that glides easily on the lips and dries matte. You don't have to layer it off as it's already pigmented in one swipe. It also has a sweet scent that makes is even delish to apply! The mauve-ish shade you see from the tube looks the same when swatched and worn. It's very true to color indeed.

The product does dry out real fast without moving or smudging which is pretty much another thing to love. Once its sets, it stays in place. As I have only tried one from the four shades, I'm not really sure if everything has the same exact formulation. Though given the reviews from the website, feed backs claim they just mirror one another.

 

LONGEVITY

Sigma Creme De Couture Liquid Lipstick stays on my lips for a very long time. Had I not have chapped and loose skin on my lips, I'd think the lipstick would really stay put and even the entire day with light eating and drinking. It's not completely transfer-proof but it definitely wears for hours. I am even having troubles removing the remaining color with a regular cleansing oil.

One thing that probably affects the longevity on me is the fact that it dries matte and does feel a little drying. The finish, though comfortable, looks very matte that it somehow emphasizes my terribly chapped lips. It makes me want to put some gloss or balm on top which would eventually make it smudge or melt a little.

Overall, I think Sigma Creme De Couture Liquid Lipstick is a good product and the performance is able to justify its price point. These usually drop to just $5-$10 during sale season so it's something you should definitely include in your next haul!

Colourette Cosmetics Coloursnaps Dewy Multi-Stain Review

Colourette Cosmetics Coloursnaps in Milk, Woke and Kween

Bought for: P249/each

Bought from: Colourette Cosmetics

I have these babies for like 3 months now and I was contemplating whether or not I should make a review because I'm pretty sure there are already a lot. It took me time to get some for myself because they are always sold out the first few weeks after launch and even until now. I was just thinking of having a post for future reference and if ever I may need of comparison in the future, say they release a new formula, at least, I won't forget how they were to me. Sounds very sentimental, right? Lol.

CLAIMS

It’s definitely summer forever with Colourette’s newest innovative collecxn –ColourSnaps. These versatile balms are the first local dewy multi-stains perfectly formulated for the Filipina skin and lifestyle. Infused with Shea Butter, Vitamin E and SPF 15 these compact cuties are sure to moisturize and protect your skin and lips while giving you that standout long-lasting glow on the go!

Available shades: Beachy, Chill, Glo Up, Kween, Lowkey, Milk, Turnt, Woke, 100, Punch, Friyay, Lucky, Golden

PACKAGING

I am completely confused whether or not I like the packaging of these Coloursnaps. For one, it looks very unique and travel-friendly. Sometimes, I hate it because the cap tends to slide completely off from the jar when opened. I am very much likely to lose it had I not been careful. Also, I didn't like the fact that I need to dip my fingers or my brush several times whenever I use it.

I appreciate that it has necessary information printed on the packaging like the ingredient list, actives and manufacturing dates. Since Colourette's items sell out fast, I'm happy that I always get a new stock.

SCENT, PIGMENTATION AND EASE OF APPLICATION

They all have similar scent which is of bubble gum. I like it, to be honest. As claimed, these are multi-stains that leaves a dewy finish on the skin for a fresh summer glow. Despite the dewiness, they feel so light on the skin, definitely non-sticky, and the natural humectants improve the blendability of the product and ease of application. The product is very smooth and gives a sheer pop of color, indeed very natural when blended on the skin. If you want a deeper pigmentation, say for lip use, these will disappoint.

PERFORMANCE

The shade selection are really amazing. I think that all of them are really wearable, even those with orange undertones, especially when it's summer. For a little bit of lip color, these will do but they aren't that long-lasting, stays about 4 hours with minimal eating and drinking. These last less longer on my cheeks as I noticed them fading as early as 2-3 hours given that I have oily skin. I would suggest dousing some translucent powder only so you can preserve the color on your cheeks.

These don't appear true to color when applied especially on the lips. I guess it depends on the pigmentation or color of your puckers too. Some shades would be better off for cheek use, some for the lips. I like the Milk as a blusher, Kween as a lip cream and Woke can be for dual purposes.

These can be used as an eye shadow too. I just don't prefer them that way because I have such oily lids and these would fade very easily. Those with dry skin, by now, should rejoice because you've just met your best friend if you would like to sport a no-makeup makeup look.

I still think these are really great local buys given the fact that you are only paying P249 for a multi-purpose tint. I surely like these and am planning to buy the Beachy shade too once Colourette restock on Shopee. I am currently obsessing with Colourette Colourtints by this time and I will share my thoughts about them real soon!
