REVIEW: WET n WILD Silk Finish in Cinnamon

I took advantage of the time the other day since our appointment was all moved in the late afternoon. I've edited and watermark some pictures. Yey! It means, pictures are ready and I'll just do the draft. I feel like I'm neglecting my blog so much for not posting reviews, OOTD and nail posts. Oh I hope you liked my latest review of a natural product here and my latest OOTD post here. I also got to clean my closet. Wohoo! Have you seen my preloved items for sale? You may find some items that you like, click here.

Haven't I mentioned that I'm a fan of Wet n Wild lipsticks? I guess I hadn't. Well, today's post is about a lipstick again from this brand. I already reviewed the Megalast lipstick here and the Silk Finish here. So, today's post is still from the line of the latter but a different shade of course. If you want to see the other Silk Finish I got, click here, here & here.

The last time I bought Wet n Wild Silk Finish lipstick, it was only priced at Php99.00 but that was 2 years ago, so I think the increased price is reasonable. The retail price now is Php119.00. Still a steal price eh?

I don't know when they started putting the shade name at the bottom label but I am really, really glad they finally labeled it on the tube itself. The old ones I got hasn't.

Jenniya's View

I like:

... So opaque.

... It brighten up my face.

... My teeth look whiter.

... It doesn't have an odd smell.

... Moist and creamy.

... Not drying on the lips.

I don't like:

... It bleeds.

... Thin consistency.

... Easily transfer.

... Very glossy.

If you have read my review of Cherry Frost, this Cinnamon shade is similar to it but this one is obviously darker. This Silk Finish lipstick has thin coverage yet it looked like it has thick coverage. It is because all reds are opaque. With the strong and vibrant color of it, you cannot determine if you've put too much or just enough. In just one swipe, you can opt to wear it alone and confidently go out and paint the town red. Lol! I kid. 

Well, Reds can instantly brighten up a face and make your teeth whiter. Anybody can wear red lipstick and look great on it provided you know your skin tone so that you can choose what shade of lipstick will look best on you. To determine your skin tone, click here. I have medium skin tone (or morena) that's why I picked this shade of red lipstick. This Cinnamon is deep red with a hint of gold and brown and it complement my warm complexion.

This lipstick is good for 4 hours. After that, the shade isn't that vibrant anymore. It transfer easily like when I drink and it fades when I eat and leave with uneven stain. The lipstick has conditioning ingredients of Vitamins A& E and Aloe Vera that make your lips looking moist which I sometimes find annoying because it looks so glossy. I can make it matte though by blotting my lips with tissue and brush it up with  a powder. Then, re-apply the lipstick and re-blot again. It makes the lipstick stay longer, too. Don't forget to use lipliner because this one bleeds.

Review: Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Just Peachy

I admit, yesterday was a bit tough. I never knew that running a giveaway could take a lot of my time in validating the entries (well, for now because it's my first time). Laugh at me but yes, I do. I'm so shallow I know but I really enjoy reading all the entries. Very inspiring, really. Wait, have you joined my giveaway yet? Click here to join.

Today's post is about a lipstick review. It's been long time since I posted one and guess I'll be reviewing Wet n Wild Megalast lipstick again. I was supposed to review the first Megalast lipstick I bought some months ago but I was so lazy to take product shoot until I've used the lipstick already. I regret doing it because I lost the chance to share something beautiful to my readers. It was in Nude shade though. So now I made sure this second buy will be: shoot first before use.

I bought this at Watsons Megamall. When I saw that Wet n Wild's station was deserted (I meant no sales assistant standing beside it); a smirk was drawn on my lips. I had a pretty time and went through all the Megalast shades and was torn between Think Pink and Just Peachy. But I decided to take the latter as something peachy & coral-ish will perfectly suit my morena skin. I love Think Pink, too, but maybe next time.

903C Just Peachy

What I first noticed was they finally got it labeled on the bottom. The Nude I bought before hasn't it. Good to know they heard consumer's concern because it is really hard to identify and remember the shade name with all the lipsticks we have girls, right? Except if that is something in your favorites then you'll definitely had it memorized.

Jenniya's view:

I Like:
... The color is oh-so purrfect for summer.
... Versatile shade.
... It leaves a creamy matte finish with a hint of sheen.
... It's opaque. The first swipe leaves enough amount to distribute when you pressed your lips.
... Of course, it suited my morena skin tone.
... The color doesn't wash-out my face.
... The color is a bit nude with hint of pink.
... It doesn't have an odd smell.
... The packaging doesn't look cheap.
... Affordable for only Php 299 ($7.11)

Photos from the above up to here are taken without camera flash.

I Don't Like:
... It is hard to pull-open the cap because it was like glued into the tube. I was afraid I might break the cap as I even heard the squeaky sound.
... It set in few lines particularly in the middle of my lower lip.
... My lips gone drier when I wear it.

Taken without camera flash under natural lighting beside the window. 

The picture doesn't justify it's true color. In person, it's Just Peachy indeed.

The picture somehow justified the color but in a lighter version. Imagine it 1 shade darker, then you'll get the Just Peachy shade.

Even though I said that it can be drying on the lips, I actually don't mind at all because it never get to the point that it crack or wound my lips like the other local cheap brands. The creamy texture of it is the kick you will get to make your lips stay soft and not flaky. I just have to deal with dryness at the end of the day but hey, lip balms can solve it. I love how it look not-so-matte at all because pure matte with no sheen will definitely make you look washed-out in day time unless you're sporting a dark smokey eye in a broad daylight. This color is versatile because you can wear this in daytime and oh-so perfect at night time, too. It set on the lines, yes, but I do have a wrinkly lips ever since so I think this will look smoother to those with a blessed soft and supple lips. Agree? I would definitely purchased the other shades like Think Pink and the other orange-y & reddish ones, I totally forgot the shade names. Forgetful Jenniya I know. :)

A Lipstick Shade That Never Fail Me

Hi everyone!

Do you have a lipstick shade that never fail you? A shade that you would love until it runs out? A shade that you considered it makes you pretty? I do. But before I reveal that lipstick shade, let me show you my other favorite lipstick shade that I use alternately depending on the outfit I wear for a particular appointment.

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Mauvey

I have a lipstick shade that I never take-out from my vanity bag ever since I purchased it. It is my to-go lipstick that I could wear whatever my outfit would be. This lipstick can tone down anything even when I am dressed-up or not.

My ever favorite everyday lipstick:

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Pink Flame. 

I fell in love with this lipstick because I know it looks good on me especially in pictures. Yes, I'm being narcissistic. I feel beautiful with this lipstick. Call me conceited, I don't care. But is there never a time in your life you did feel beautiful even once?

Product Review: Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks

Since last month, whenever I had the chance to pass by at any Watsons, I always checked repeatedly my favorite beauty counters looking for matte lipstick. I always failed to find any because some aren't that matte that I wanted and some are just too steep for me. So after the longest time of finding mattes, I finally gave in to try and bought 2 matte lipsticks from Ever Bilena. My last purchase from Ever Bilena was their matte jumbo pencil lipstick way back 10 years ago when I was working in Penshoppe. That matte texture back then is what I really wanted.

 

P145.00 each

Anyway, at first glance of their testers, the matte lipstick speaks itself; it really looked matte. Then, I swatch some. By the way, I never swatches lipstick onto my lips (hygiene it is!) but only on top of my hands. Moving on, when I glide it onto my hand, the color pay-off wasn't good; the color barely show. So, I had it glided with a lil bit of pressure then, finally it shows. Well, maybe the testers were mostly opened that's why the testers dried up. I've chosen 2 shades - Mauvey and Pink Flame.

 

L: Pink Flame; R: Mauvey

I hate SA's that do not know well the product they are selling especially with those in the cheap brands. I don't want to be so mean but that's the truth. I'm just being honest.

When I asked the SA to get me a new stock of Mauvey and Pink Flame, I asked her to open it for me and I got dismayed because the cap of the Mauvey that has a swatch of the lipstick wasn't been glued well and it was detached from the top of the cap. She told me she'll get a new stock. That was okay with me but to hear from her that the detached cap swatch can actually be used as lip gloss... What?!? Of course, I know it is not a lip gloss. I wanted to correct her but then again, I don't want to be mean to her especially that she has another customer in her area, so I ignored what she has said. I'm just irritated by her stupid selling techniques. I just get a new stock of it and off directly to the cashier. When I got home, I discovered that the new stock she gave was also the same. It has defects. Both of them.

 

 

Both Pink Flame & Mauvey - chipped off silver coating..

 

Mauvey - the cap swatch was also the same (it wasn't glued). Oh c'mon, that is not a lip gloss but more like a soft rubberized thing.

 

Pink Flame - when I first tried to twist it upward..

 ...it was ruined! Oh no!

I was really saddened. All of us would like to have our purchases brand new and no defects, right? I love my lipsticks in their perfect shapes and untouched until I glide it onto my lips. But this batch of lipstick purchase is an exemption. I just get what I pay for. Another lesson learned.

Enough for that blah. I just want to warn you that the following photos below are kinda gross. Excuse me dear because during that time, I was in my 2 successive days of wearing my Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick and haven't I said so yet that my lips tends to exfoliate grossly whenever I used my Maybelline? So, just close this window if you can't stand to see it.

The verdict? 

• I have a wrinkly lips so it sets in lines but not that obvious since it's matte.

• It easily vanished when you eat and do not left even a bit of stain (except in your liplines) but it's not really a big deal for me. We always retouch anyway.

• They are really matte finish. The photos didn't justify the matte-ness but in person, it is lovely! Just the way I wanted to. 

• You have to swipe it more for your desired opacity.

Pink Flame is my favorite. I've been wearing Pink Flame everyday since last week. The Mauvey is perfect to match with dark smokey eye. Well, despite of all the defects I found, I am happy that I have mattes now. I just hope I can find like these in other brands.

Until my next post beauties!

Much love,

AT LAST, I GOT WET n WILD's PINK NOVEAU LIPSTICK!

Along with the IN2IT "Balloon Brush" Mascara, I bought a new lipstick from my to-date favorite lipstick brand - the Wet n Wild. I've been always checking this shade of 511B or Noveau Pink from time to time every time I dropped by at the SM Beauty Department and it was always out of stock. But that day was such a lucky day for me because I got one already. They re-stocked and the shade was really fast-moving. So happy to got mine because there's only 3 tubes left. 

 

 

The Noveau Pink - at last, I got you!

So lovely!

I've been wearing this lipstick most of the times now especially when I do some condo viewing. In this season of summer now, I skip putting on any face foundation but only sun block with minimum SPF 20 to protect my face from the harmful rays of the sun. I hate to see my face with sweat all over plus my uber-oily face, lol! Sayang lang talaga ang foundation hahaha! I just apply a face powder over my sun block, a blush-on, my new IN2IT balloon brush mascara and this lipstick, and then I'm ready to go!

 One sunny afternoon in Makati City with my Noveau Pink lipstick. This photo was taken using my iPhone4.

By the way, this lipstick costs P99.00 only and you can get this from any Beauty Department of SM. Until next post beauties!

Face It: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Valentine's Day is just an hours away. A lot of girls are getting ready on what make-up would they wear on their dates. Pink is the popular shade that been used for a demure look. Honestly, I do not have any pink eye shadows or any eye shadow with a touch of pink because I do not like pinks on my eyes. I am not pro in applying make-up especially on pinks so I'm really afraid I would looked like I have irritated eyes or got hit in the eye on my date. 

Why don't I wear something with a touch of pink and purple on my lips instead?

The "it" color this year is Violet and so, the mauve lipsticks are in. Mauve is defined as any various pale to moderate pinkish-purple or bluish-purple colour. 

 WnW (Wet n Wild) Silk Finish in Retro Pink.

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

So Sexy in Wet 'n Wild Cherry Frost

This post is a continuation of my first eureka moment in 2011. I've already posted one of my Wet 'n Wild lipsticks on my last entry, please click here. As promised, I've already swatch the other lipstick, 514A in Cherry Frost. Are you excited to see it? Then, just continue reading.

 

 So perfect for my lipstick's label...

...Wet 'n Wild 514A Cherry Frost

In actual, this lipstick has very tiny gold sparkles, very very tiny sparkles. Well, just like the 521A Fuchsia in Blue Pearl, it has also very tiny blue sparkles. Moving on, those tiny gold sparkles are love, love, love. It tones down the red from flaming hehehe.

In my lips is the swatch of 514A Cherry Frost.
Please click here for the product's review.

Do you know that I fell in love with this lipstick the moment I swatch this on? This is now my favorite from all the lippies I got. This is my first ever red lipstick. Yes, you've read it right. Honestly, when I picked this red lipstick together with the Fuchsia, my thinking is just to own one and of course, to tried wearing it. Heck, it's just only P99 hehehe.

 

I've been wearing this for 3 days straight every time we head out. It adds a lot of confidence in me. With this red lipstick on, I think I look like I'm a woman with authority. I absolutely love it! With my black hair, I can say also that the shade really suits me. I feel so SEXY hahaha!

 

What I like about my latest Wet 'n Wild lipstick, I can also wear it alone with just my face powder on. A look just as simple as my photo above. My face looks so vibrant! I can't wait to buy the other shades of this lipstick. Keep posted for my next make-up tut.
