I wanted a lipstick that would look natural on me for everyday wear. I read the reviews for this shade on makeupalley that it suits warm toned skin so I bought it to give it a try. This is my first Rimmel lipstick since this brand is not really available here so I just got this on ebay.

The color is really nice and natural as expected, it’s a bit sheer so I think the staying power would be not quite good. You would need to reapply after eating.

I definitely adore it! It actually makes my lips look healthy and soft and it feels that way too. I think it would look great with any blush/bronzer color that I have. I could say that this would a great everyday lip color especially those time when you’re in hurry and you don’t know which to pick you won’t go wrong with this shade since it looks natural.

There are only 2 things I don’t like about it, the fragrant smell and the staying power. Still I would be buying again if ever I ran out I just hope that when I do ran out I would still be available for me to buy.

Side note:

I won’t be writing much here anymore since I’ve sort of grew out of my ‘make up phase’ already (before I would buy 2 or 3 new cosmetics a week). I prefer natural looks at the moment powder foundation, light blush and lipstick…. and sometimes eyeliner. I don’t  use much eye shadows anymore or mascara…. I’m into phones right now (flashing, upgrading, hacking, personalizing, etc.) I have 3 units right now Nokia N82, N73 and 7360(this was Bella’s phone on Twilight! LOL ^_^). I’m also having fun with my family’s phones as well. What a switch huh? So I would probably be writing about other things as well.

Wet n’ Wild Precious Metals in Gold Rush August 4, 2009

I actually got this for a freebie meaning I didn’t really choose it for myself. I’m a bit anti-shimmer when it comes to my lips since I really have oily skin and i don’t want to enhance it by adding more shine on my lips.

Okay the lipstick itself is quite sheer, on my lips alone it’s a very light champagne color which makes my lips look pouty but in a pale sickly way. Staying power is very low as well. I think this would be good to put on top of your darker shade of lipstick so you can wear it by day and also to make your matte ones look more softer. I would probably be using this with a couple of brick red lipstick that I own.

I won’t be buying this, well I really didn’t buy it did I? But it can be used, no need to throw it away or give to someone else.

Carmex Lip Balm in Strawberry November 9, 2008

I love lip balms and I need them, a lot. So I always have 2 or 3 of ‘em lying around somewhere. Right now I will be doing a quick review on one of my favorite balms which is the Carmex Click Stick lip balm in Strawberry. I bought this at Rite Aid in Greenbelt 3 I think, I always get the numbers mixed up. It was priced at the very affordable price of P80. I’ve read a lot of good reviews before I went out to buy one for myself.

What makes this lip balm good? It moisturizes my lips well, it has SPF 15 and it works nicely as a lipstick base especially for my matte lippies. The ‘click stick’ technology is great as well because it helps you control the product that comes out, relieves you of that messy mistake that sometimes happen when you over twist your balms. Do I have anything bad to say about this balm? Yes I have one or two, the taste or the smell or both. The taste is like a waxy strawberry it smells like it as well. It’s not so bad because I can tolerate it and will tolerate it because this balm really helps keep my lips soft and moisturized. I will buy again and again as long as it’s available but I might try a different scent though.
