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.

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. :)

FOTD: Green is the color of the day by LOUJENE

Shirt by St. John's Bay

Last Sunday, I get bonded with my in-laws. I don't often see them and I get flattered when my Mom-in-law said that my skin is glowing and I'm looking fairer compared to the last time she saw me. I said that we intentionally don't go out under the sun nowadays because we wanted to get a nice line of tan this coming summer. Lol!

For today's post, I've used for the very first time a lovely make-up palette from LOUJENE - a Japanese make-up brand.

LOUJENE

For this look, below is the lists of the products that I've used.

For the face:

- Myra Daily Sun Protect Facial Moisturizer SPF 15

- Palladium Natural Rice oil-absorbing rice powder

For the eyes:

- LOUJENE 9-colors eyeshadow palette

- NYX eyeshadow base

- IN2IT eyebrow kit

- ELF eye widener pencil in Pearl

- Maybelline Hyper Curl Volum Express mascara

The eye shadows are shimmer wash and some are semi-mattes. Love!

I love earth colors!

1. I applied it all over my lids up to the brow bone.

2. I applied it in the inner third of my lids just up to the crease.

3. I applied it on the outer part/ outer-V of my lid.

4. I applied it in the inner corners of my eyes on top of the ELF eye widener in Pearl.

Fyi, I applied my Bobbi Brown in Espresso to darken my outer-V.

For the cheeks:

- Avon lip & cheek tint

- NYX Blush 

For the lips:

- Ever Bilena matte lipstick in Pink Flame

- Wet 'n Wild in 511B or Noveau Pink

I combined the two (2) shades of the lipsticks. I applied first the Wet 'n Wild, and then I blot it with tissue. I did it twice for the Noveau Pink. Next, I applied the Ever Bilena on top of it. 

Nice result of the combi, eh?

XX,

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!

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: BRIGHT SULTRY LOOK

So, what eye make-up should you wear with a gray dress? 

Believe me, if you are not confident enough in putting on your make-up like me especially in matching it with your outfit; you'll end up goggling for tips lol! Okay, so I found out that gray is a neutral color. Some said that you can wear any eye make-up, some said it's best to go for a smokey eye look, a purple look, a gray/ silver eye make-up, etc.

I end up with this look though:

 

The occasion I've attended to was held on daytime so I chose a more neutral look but sultry. Honestly, I received compliments with this make-up. It's so flattering most especially when the compliment came from my B's mom!

Bright Sultry Eye Make-Up

Products used:

Etude House Magic BB Cream in Refreshing

Bobbi Brown Stonewashed Nudes Palette
Etude House Single Eye Shadow in White

Stila Eye Shadow in Moonlight

NYX Blush in Spice

Wet n Wild in Retro Pink

Other products I've used but not in the photo:

Natural Rice Oil Absorbing Powder

IN2IT Eye Brow Kit

Maybelline Volum Express Mascara

NYX Lip Liner in Rose

MAC Sheer Vision Gloss

 

The STILA in Moonlight did a lot of brightening in my eyes. I really love this eye shadow. I just used this in my inner corners and tear duct areas. It is so pigmented; creamy and very sparkly.

Smile always and stay tuned.

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.

PRODUCT REVIEW: I'VE GOT WET 'N WILD!

Every time I go to any SM Malls, I have no reason not to pass by at Watsons; both in the mall and in the department store. Last week was my first eureka moment for this 2011 and I've bought a lot of toiletries for our use from our head down to our toes, lols! Of course, make-ups were also in the list that day. I've bought some lipstick and matte single eye shadows. I don't have much matte shadows; I only have few. I have a lot of shimmery shadows kasi.

The lipsticks I bought from Wet 'n Wild.

I got Silk Finish Lipsticks in 514A (Cherry Frost) & 521A (Fucshia with Blue Pearl)

During my make-up hunt that day, I was happy to see the Wet 'n Wild (it was locally available last quarter of 2010). I've heard some nice reviews of this product and wanted to give it a try. I noticed that it's the only make-up display station that has no SA attending to customers. Maybe the SA was in break during that time or whatever. I saw the product display in a mess, lols! I mean, the customers come and go after some testing that made some items not returned in their right places. So, I had much time looking and testing the products without minding that an annoying SA will follow and trace every item I touch, if you know what I mean hehehe. They normally do that hehehe.  

The price tags are a lot the same with NYX Cosmetics but Wet 'n Wild are obviously way cheaper. From what I remember, mostly price starts at P299 and up. But I was surprised to see a price tag of P99.00 for a tube of lipstick. Yes, very cheap, right? Funny me coz that time I was looking for the designated Wet 'n Wild SA but unfortunately she wasn't in. I wanted to ask her why that lipstick was cheap compared to the other Wet 'n Wild lipstick which costs range starting at P299.00. Anyway, I grabbed two (2) lipsticks to give this brand a try.

521A (Fucshia with Blue Pearl)

See that tiny blue sparkles?

In my lips is the swatch of 521A.

Note that before I apply the lipstick, I lined my lips using a fucshia pink lip liner for defined full lips. I applied the lipstick on my upper lip then blot it with my lower lip. Then, I applied it again and re-blot.

What I like:

o Very cheap for P99.00 per tube.

o Semi-matte but with satin finish.

o Light-weight feel.

o Pigmented.

o Do not set in lines of my lips.

What I don't like:

o The packaging looks cheap (it justify the price, right? lols!).

o I have to pull the cap very slowly so it won't touch the lipstick or else... messy.

o It looks like the plastic tube is not durable for pulling up and down of lipstick.
o 1/2 inch of the lipstick is peeking so you can see it since it has a transparent cap. At first, I thought I just need to pull it down but I was wrong hehehe. Sagad na pala yun.

See? It's peeking!

Verdict:

If I feel skipping eye shadows and foundation on my face, I can wear this alone. This is much cheaper than my NYX round lipstick which costs Php 160.00 from online reseller. I will buy the other shade of lipstick, too and I will try their eye shadows. 

Smile always and stay tuned.
