Things I got this week | Lioele, People are People, Artist Studio, Nature Republic, Revlon, Jieshini, and a couple of Lashes

Hey guys! Sooooooo~ I had mini shoppings this week and got few stuff. XD Nothing special though. But! I must say! FINALLY! I got that one thing that I want to try really really bad coz I've hear a lot of good reviews about it. Let me start with the highlight for this week!


Liole's Triple the Solution BB Cream! wah~ LOL I tell you! I had a hard time to get my hands on that! Wala masyadong Lioele store here in Manila... Tsk! The one that's in St. Francis Square eh wala na. :( So, I got this at Market! Market! gah! Effort pa ang hanapan neto! letse... But after I surrender looking for it, it suddenly appeared right before my eyes! A PINK STORE! XD Hahaha. I literally shout at my bf "Ayun!!!" haha He thought I saw our friend that we were waiting for. hahaha.. Anyway~ I already used it a couple of times... I'll make a separate review on this.. Stay tuned!

The next one is...


Jack Daniel's shirt that we got from People are People in Market! Market! ahahaha! We both love JD that's why we... well, I insited buying it immediately! I dunno, I think those are the last pieces left. Just right for us! small and medium <3 LOL Yeah~ that's our couple shirt ^_^ LOL


I was actually looking for a Nature Republic store or even just a stall. And guess what, I found one in The Landmark. XD I want to try a lot of things from them but~ I think I should look first for the right item I should buy before actually buying it. But since I really want to get an item from them, I decided to pick this up. Haha! and yeah! I immediately tried it as soon as I reached home. XD Maybe I'll get 2-3 more of this to see the actual benefits of this mask. The lady recommended this to me since I said I have sensitive acne prone skin. So, let see XD


Haha! I forgot to remove the sticker prices XD well I'm just lazy I guess. XD I found this brushes affordable with verrrryyyy good quality bristles. :D for a 50-100Php each? They are so smooth and soffffft~ They also have a big fluffy brush and a crease blending brush which I didn't get coz I don't think I need it yet. The only bad thing is that they only have a small range of type of brushes. =/ 


These are my first pairs for false lashes XD natural and full xD LOL I just wanna try em~ LOL XD :)) and a Lash glue... Hope its a good one though XD 


Yay~! New lipstick :P LOL ahaha Revlon's on sale for this holiday~ XD This is from their matte collection. That's #12 Pink Sky.. Lipsticks on sale are their Matte, Color Burst Lip Butter, Color Burst Lipgloss, and Color Burst Lipstick... I dunno if I missed something. But yeah those are the collections I remembered XD LOL Go grab em now~! If I just have a budget at that moment, I might have bought one shade per collection :)) LOL well too bad~ I didn't bring much money T_T My mom got this one for me. HAHA! Thanks mom! :*

So.... I guess that's pretty much it.. Hope you found something useful in this post. ahaha! though I'm not sure people will give a f*ck on my posts anyway. XD Anyway~ thanks for stopping by ^_^

Estée Lauder: Pure Color 25 Melon Lasting Shimmer | Pure Color 37 Magnetic Magenta | Pure Color FK Fireball

Ohhhh~! Hellow there guys! I just wanna show you my and my sister's lippies collection :D


it's a mix of highends and drugstore brands. but its mostly drugstore brands XD coz there are lots of affordable ones with good quality ;)

But for now i'll just be talking about the Estée Lauder's ones. My sis got it from the US. HAHA! Thanks sissy loves. Anyway~ going back. So, she got 3 shades.. No, 4... but she gave the other one to mom so we have no chance of using it~ too baaad. but its fiiiine~ we have lots to use anyway XD

So let me present you our babies from Estée Lauder...

As I have researched, Fireball and Magnetic Magenta are from EL's Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick Collection while Melon is from their Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick. I'm not really sure though! Coz I didn't buy them and I am not familiar with EL collections. But if you wanna check it out you can visit their website.


I don't think they repeat the name of their lipstick's shades that's why I concluded where each lipstick belongs to. Anyway~

Packaging:

The cover is metal-ish in gold. But... I think it's just plastic... Hm... It looks like metal but it feels like plastic. Sorry~ I'm not quite good with materials. If not plastic, It's a very thing, very light metal. And the glass part, I think its a real glass that if it fall into something hard, it'll break. And the logo~ it helps secure the cap. Overall, it's fine. But sometimes I'm having a hard time placing them in the box coz of the logo :P hehe but nothing more. The weight is a bit heavier compared to the drugstore ones. The shade is place just below the glass part.

Color and Swatch:

Now, let me show you some swatches I made for each shade.

Here are some swatches I made in my hand. The top photo, I just swiped the lipstick once. It is not that pigmented when you put it in your lips. You have to do 2-3 more swipes to get the full color. The 2nd photo, I swiped the lipstick 2 more times each. It shows super vibrant colors. And if you can notice, they are shiny! Yes~! They have glitters on them. They look frosty and shiny when applied in lips. They're reaaaaaaaaaally gorgeous! They are great for formal events and night out parties. They reflect like pearls. 

How they look on my lips:

My natural lip color! sorry for the low quality photos.. effort much! XD and for my lips as well, cracked~! anyway~

So.... here's
Magnetic Magenta


Melon 

Fireball

as you can observe, it shines~ it reflects the light that hits my lips. You get what you see on the tube.

Texture and Smell
Hm... they're creamy. They easily glide on my lips and they don't get into the cracks that much, which is good. They smell a bit perfume-y but not strong but it is fine. 

Lasting Power
Hm... I really can't tell... Coz personally, I eat like a barbaric girl so after eating, the color/product is completely gone~ and I have to retouch again. Hehe... Nothing much to say about it. Sorry.

So, I guess that's all it. Hope this helps even just a tiny bit~ LOL. I'm not a fan of EL so I don't think I'm gonna purchase again. Hm but who knows? They might have a better collection that may capture my interest, right? 

You guys? What do you think? Have you tried other Estee Lauder lippies? Let me know which ones are good buys. :) Thanks!

Here's another preview of Melon but I topped it off with Tony Moly's Berry Tint in Cherry but just in the middle to create that ombre effect that most korean artists have. Hehe~! Off to the grocery to buy some ingredients for my mom's bday celeb ;) See you soon, babies~ <3
