Swatch: Etude House Color Me Nude Lip Concealer

I'm not into nude shade but I bought this to, well, conceal my not-so-smooth lips LOL
It's a bit difficult to use at first since you have to make sure that you've exfoliated your lips before applying (you dont want skin to appear right?).
I tried several ways to apply it, and guess what the trick was...dont swipe it! hehehe
You just need to dab it until it blends to your lips.  By doing so, it will look natural :)
It has good coverage and helps reduce those vertical lines on your lips.

Pros:
- creamy and matte
- very good coverage
- does not cause dryness or chapping
- easy to blend
- no weird taste and smell
- helps make lipsticks last long when used as base
- brings out the true shade of the lipstick
- inexpensive, P228
- simple but cute packaging


Cons:
- can accentuate chapped lips if not used properly
- flakes sometimes


Will i re-purchase?
Yup. And i would recommend it as well ;)

Review: ELF Brightening Eyeshadow Quad in Silver Lining

This is the first ELF product I purchased.  It is unexpensive and good enough for the price.  Although it is not that pigmented and I like it coz it's not shimmery (the lavander is shimmery at first but after blending, it's nice and semi-matte).  It is wearable and blends well for me.
It is not so pigmented but lasts for a good 4-5 hours.  Some say putting an eye primer will make it last longer and makes the color more intense  (i haven't tried that yet)

Pros:
- inexpensive, it's only P120.00
- available locally
- soft, smooth and blends well
- average lasting power
- not glittery



Cons:
- low pigmentation
- not so cute packaging


Will i re-purchase?
I'm planning to try other shades.

Swatch: Aido Regular Lipstick in #11

I also purchased this along with Aido's Classic lippie.  Guess what, this is even cheaper!
But I'm really impressed because it is very pigmented, no annoying smell and it's tasteless.
This has a brick-red orangey shade.  And leaves a nice tint as well that makes my lips look naturally orange (huh?! lol)  I dont actually know how to describe my lip color, but now i realized orange suites me well >_<
I've been trying pink lipsticks but it really make my lips look purple and i hate it :(

no flash

Pros:
- very cheap, only P25
- available locally
- glides easily
- doesn't dry your lips
- good pigmantation
- long lasting power
- no weird smell and taste


Cons:
- very poor packaging (it's 25 bucks! o_0)
- no fancy shade names, just numbers


Will i re-purchase?
Not right now since I love Aido Classic more but glad i tried it though, it's very good for a cheap lipstick :)

Swatch: Aido Classic Lipstick in H

Suprisingly, i'm loving Aido's orange lipstick (shade H).  It has a red-orange color but it's not too red and the orange blends well with my natural lip color (although until now i dont know my undertone hehehe)
It is very pigmented and has average lasting power.  Although it tends to get a bit dry so dont forget to apply lip balm.
When it fades, the color somehow serves as a tint and i love how it blends on my lips, makes them look very young :)

Pros:
- very cheap, only P50
- available locally
- glides easily
- doesn't dry your lips
- good pigmentation
- long lasting power
- no weird smell & taste


Cons:
- can accentuate chapped lips
- poor packaging (well what do you expect in a P50 peso lipstick?)
- no fancy shade names, just letters


Will i re-purchase?
Yup.  I think i found the orange that i'm looking for :)
Glad i tried it, very good for a cheap lipstick :)
