Review/Swatch: NYX Cream Blush in Golden

 I should've posted this a long, long time ago after I did swatches on my second batch of NYX round lipsticks.

Better late than never, right?

NYX Cream Blush in Golden

Natural Light:

W/ Flash:

It has a beautiful peachy pink color with very fine gold shimmers in it.

Comments:

Pros:

- affordable

- lasts a very long time even in a very hot weather. (I sweat a lot during the day, but it still there. great buy!)

- great as a highlighter. Very handy for me because it's already summer time!

- very creamy. A little product goes a long way.

Cons:

- because summer is already here in the Philippines, I tend to tan more than I already am, (but I'm "anemic" pale on colder months). So, the color doesn't really show up on my skin. Most of the time the blush color is the same with my skin tone. I only use this as a highlighter.

- Lighter skintone will benefit from both the pigmentation and shimmer it gives.

- not available locally. just bought it from my online seller, digitaltraincase.

Swatch:

Natural light:

I applied the cream blush thicker so you could see its pigmentation on the skin. If I applied it the normal way, then you won't see anything at all except for a small shimmering part of my skin.

Hope this helps!

Review: Missha Nail Polish PK001

Just got this online from my long time online seller (thelittlecoolshop.multiply.com) because Missha had a sale going on in Korea last January 2010.

The sale price is still a bit steep (P150) than the price (P120) in a Missha branch here in the Philippines, considering its their cheapest nail polish line, but I still bought it because the nail polishes that are available in Missha in the Philippines lacks variety. Sucks because I love collecting unique colors.

Missha The Style Nail Polish PK001

Natural light:

W/ Flash:

A very beautiful, milky, peachy flesh color

Comments:

Pros:

- unique heart shaped bottle (Missha trademark)

- doesn't have a very strong nail polish smell.

- true to the color in the bottle

- dries quickly

- has wide variety of colors

Cons:

- a bit expensive for a small nail polish

- did not last very long. Stayed on 3 days max.

- minor cracks and chipping seen at day 2 (I do chores everyday)

- a bit streaky when applied, but it really didn't bother me.

- had to put on 3-4 coats cause it's quite sheer...I think almost all light, milky colored nail polish do that.

All in all a so-so product, but I still love the color.

What it looks like on the nail:

Review: Missha The Style Nail Polish in KH02

Howdy! Another nail polish review..it's been quite awhile since I've done this. Here we go!

Missha The Style Nail Polish in KH02

W/ flash:

I bought this particular polish in SM north edsa. Kinda bought it out of pity to the sales ladies..I think no one ever dared to go in the store because sales ladies there tend to follow you everywhere you go which can be kinda annoying if you're not in the mood to be nice..yes! we have our days...

Natural light:

I love early morning sunshine! The best lighting eva!

Here is my very messy newly painted nail swatch.

W/ flash:

Ever wondered why i don't take the excess polish of the sides of my nails right after I finished painting it?
It's because it's easier to take excess nail polish right after you take a bath...the excess polish tends to peel by itself without ruining the nail polish on your nails. Try it!

Natural light:

W/ a special guest, my pet "Gulat" (meaning Stunned)...RIP....I was really depressed when he died at the same time after my thesis defense fail...

Comments:

Pro:
- dries easily
- doesn't have a strong nail polish smell.
- has many unique colors to choose from, if you buy online.
- true to the color in the bottle
- comes in a unique heart shaped bottle (great packaging still matters!)

Cons:
- expensive for a small sized bottle (P120)
- cracks easily w/ slight chipping after about 3 days. I do heavy labor with my hands so the quality of any nail polish I try is really tested. 3 days for means a nail polish fail.

Review/Swatches: Etude House Peach Water Glosses in Apricot Water and Watermelon Water

After a long time I've finally managed to give another review of the Etude House Peach Water Glosses that I'm almost finished collecting! (^_^)

I already gave a review on my first Peach Water Gloss in Peach Milk and my review on these 2 glosses are almost the same with my first review and if you don't mind going back through my blog, you can just read my opinion about the Etude House Water Gloss in Peach Milk (^_^). The only difference is that these 2 glosses are very sheer compared to Peach Milk which made my lips a bit lighter (in a good way). all in all, I love them all! They have their own unique look on my lips (if you look at it closely) hahaha!

Apricot Water - More of an orange-y pink colored lip gloss that doesn't really show that much. hahaha!

Natural light:

W/ flash:

Watermelon Water - this pretty weird-named gloss is a pinky peach colored lip gloss, but it's more sheer than the Peach Milk which is a creamy light pink colored lip gloss.
