REVIEW #4: LANEIGE NEW SILK INTENSE LIPSTICK 2017

1:57 PM Lippie 0 Comments



 Hi everyone! :) Today i'll be reviewing on the newly released Laneige New Silk Intense Lipstick which was just released in March 2017! When i saw the advertisement showing that it will have 35 new shades and a newly improved formula from the old silk intense lipstick, i was excited to get it :) And so...on the first day of its release, i went to Tangs at Orchard and tried it yay...and i'm so lucky that i'm the very 1st one to test it out at the shop hahahahaha ^0^ 

 I purchased these 2 lipsticks:

1) Get Healthy Rose #144
2) Privilege #465

 and...i received these as well as freebies haha :)
FREEBIES: Laneige Vitamin Brightening Cleansing Water & Laneige x YCH landyard



I fell in love with the packaging at first sight haha because it looks attas and blingy and it is magnetic!! :D 

Okay..so now i'll start the review :)

THE CLAIM: 

"Silk lipstick that wraps your lips: The soft formula glides onto the lips like silk, giving it a bright yet light coat of delicate colour to complete your makeup look."

1. SILKY
"Soft and light texture similar to silk" - Absolute Weight Down Tech lets the lipstick glide on the lips like silk, leaving a thin yet moist coat of colour.

2. SMOOTH
"Velvet Touch Sphere powder gently wraps the lips, creating a fine, dense chiffon film coat that gives the lips an outstanding finish."

3. VIVID
"Vibrant, defined colours." - Thanks to pigment downsizing technology, the pigments are vivid and delicate, allowing the lipstick to stay on all day long.

4. MOIST 
"The ultimate moisturising lipstick." - Contains peptides that retain moisture for long periods; the fine and dense chiffon film shield maintains the moistness of the lips.

APPEARANCE: Hmm...it's not a pigmented lippie...rather it's more to the sheer kind...and although it claims to be a matte finish...i feel that it generally looks more like a half glossy half matte lippie instead which i prefer as it makes your lips look shiny...

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Privilege and Get Healthy Rose

TEXTURE: I feel that the formula really did improve from the previous silk intense lipstick and its also more moisturizing as well. I also bought the serum intense lipstick previously and felt that this new silk intense lipstick is less patchy and glides better and smoother on the lips than the serum intense lippie...it covers the lips well and your lips doesn't feel dry or cracked...when i applied it, i felt my lips looked even and generally looks nice! =) Not as pigmented as serum intense, but for the formula i prefer this as it's not cakey and most importantly the look is even.

Oh ya..i realised that because the lip bullet applicator part is very narrow so it's easy to apply the narrower parts of the lip :)

Let's start with Get A Healthy Rose #144



Whee...look, it looks nice on the lips! hahaha...it covers up well and doesn't look patchy...my lips look moisturised and not chapped or dry also :) This lippie is a true pink lipstick which i like...not too pink like neon pink but more to salmon pink...i'm sure i'll be using this lippie alot next time!! ^0^ yay can't wait to bring this to japan next month and wearing it there yay hahaha XD

Next is Privilege #465


As you can see, Privilege is a more brownish kind of pink...and can be abit reddish if you apply many layers to it..i like this colour alot too! haha i think both colours are suitable for everyday wear =)

I did the tissue test and as i thought..it is transferrable and definitely will need to reapply this lippie again after meals or after drinking water.

THE GOOD:
1) Very moiturising on the lips
2) Your lips does not feel dry and will not be flaky or chapped 
3) Many different shades  - 35 shades which they claim you can mix colours to create new ones
4) nice and sleek packaging
5) Glides easily, non-patchy and good coverage

THE BAD:
1) Quite pricey $36
2) Not so long lasting and it's transferrable
3) Need to reapply after meals


 VERDICT: I'll give it a 9/10 because i think it's a really good lippie with nice colours...many different varieties..they even have different kinds of pink and red and brown which i like. Great that it's super moisturising and doesn't leave your lips patchy or cracked. Will definitely use it and re-purchase it next time!!! ^0^

REVIEW #3: NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM

9:42 PM Lippie 0 Comments




Hi everyone, today's review is on the ever popular NYX with its Soft Matte Lip Cream range. I only got to know about this brand and range last year and after trying it out, i started to like matte lippies alot haha...before that i only wore glossy lipsticks.

 Nyx has quite a range of lipsticks...but i have not tried the others yet...hence i can't comment how good/bad they are...

 I purchased 3 different colour shades in total :

 1. Manila #33
2. Zurich #14
3. Cannes #19

 Manila was the very first lippie i bought from Nyx and i'll start with it first :)
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: MANILA, ZURICH, CANNES


Now, we'll look at the next colour, Cannes #19 =)

Cannes #19
When i first looked at the colour shades available at the Nyx counter in Sephora, i didn't try out Cannes/Zurich as i thought they were dark brownish colours and went for the lighter coral, pinkish colours instead. However, after watching a few youtube videos on the different colour swatches that bloggers did, i realised Cannes and Zurich are 2 super nice terracotta colours that can be worn everyday. I much prefer Cannes over to Zurich as Zurich is a bit too light for my liking...I like Cannes also because it is the most pigmented and even colour when i apply it to my lips.

I realised that for Nyx, it's better if you wait for about 1 minute after applying for it to dry up so that it is longer lasting.

Cannes #19

 Yay...as you can see, the colour turns out brownish pink and it's a soft colour you can definitely wear for any occasion! I like how the colour is even and doesn't appear patchy at all :) I'm gonna finish using Cannes and will definitely buy it again! ^0^


 Finally, Zurich!

 Zurich is a shade slightly lighter than Cannes and it's also abit more pinkish. I think it's abit too light for me and somehow it makes the flaky and dry parts of my lips stand out even more...haha forgive my terrible looking lips but ya...just to show that it doesn't look so nice...

Zurich #14

THE GOOD:
1) It does live up to its name of being moisturising
2) Feels light on the lips
3) Suitable for dry and flaky lips especially for darker shades as it glides smoothly 
4) Cheap! It's only $11 in Sephora
5) Comes in a wide range of colours

THE BAD:
1) Not long lasting as you need to reapply it after meals
2) Transferrable 

VERDICT: I would rate it 8/10 because i feel that i like it enough to re-purchase it again and i like how it is moisturising yet creamy matte :) 

Stay tuned for my next lippie review! :D
