Look at my Lips...

Just bought a new lippie!  Hope this won't fail me coz last week I bought an Ianti #23 and I sooooo regret it :(
I am currently in search for a tangerine lipstick (and pink hehe), hopefully this will end my lipstick madness and stay with this brand and shade.
I'll do my comments and swatch some other day since I'm so sleepy na :S
Before I forget, I'm talking about Look at My Lips in #09 by Etude House.

I'll try it tomorrow :)
g'night!

Swatch: Nichido Lipstick in Rose Shimmer

This is the first ever lipstick that I purchased.  Well i just started doing complete everyday makeup last year (about late October).  

When I bought this, I just relied on the stick color.  I didn't know na it would be better to read reviews and look for swatches first.  So now, I do some research before buying cosmetics **wink**

It has a slight shimmery finish and pinkish tone.  It's actually nice but 'm just not into glittery tone.

Nichido Rose Shimmer swatch

Pros:

- Applies smoothly

- inexpensive

- not drying

- good pigmentation

- available at your leading department stores

Cons:

- stick tends to soften easily, so it's kinda creamy but watery when applied to much

- no info on the ingredients

- can accentuate dryness

- some Nichodo lipsticks are said to darken lips in the long run

Will i re-purchase?

Nah, i have quite dark lips already so why risk it.  Although it's inexpensive, I'd rather get the expensive ones that won't ruin my lips.

Swatch: Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Off Beat Pink

After reading several reviews on pink lipsticks, this is what I first tried (besides the other lipsticks that I bought without reading reviews hehe).  It's from Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick series.  I'm just gonna post swatches of what I have since I dont have nice thin lips :)

The swatch is quite darker on the skin, but when applied to the lips, it is quite bright (o-oh, i'm very bad at describing colors).  I always apply my all-time favorite and reliable Vaseline Lip Therapy before applying any lipstick, this will help moisturize your lips.


Pros:
- has a pretty pink color (but I'm still opted to look for other pink lipstick)
- inexpensive (Php 145.00)
- has a good lasting power
- almost odorless, you'll just smell something when you sniff the stick itself

Cons:
- quite drying (but applying a lip balm will solve this)
- accentuates dry, chapped lips
- this color is not very pigmented

Will I re-purchase?
Not right now since it is not the pink that I am looking for.

Searching for the Perfect Lipstick...

This is my first blog about cosmetics and basically revealing my thoughts out in the public (oohh scary).

I have been searching for the perfect shade of lipstick that suits my complexion.  Unfortunately, I still haven't found the right brand and shade for everyday use.

I'll be posting my current collection.  I'm still on the not-so-expensive lippies since I am still trying different shades.  Sayang naman if I buy the expensive ones tas diko din magagamit.

Well now, I'm looking for the right pink and coral-tangerine (but not so orange) lipsticks.
For the pink shade, I want a very natural pink, not so striking but not too light since my natural lip color is very light brown na mejo pinkish (but my lip line is line brownish gray, hirap i-describe hehe).
For the coral-tangerine, I dont really know what to call it, basta ung coral na mejo orange but not too orange.

So girls, if you do have any suggestions, feel free to comment here :)
