REVIEW: L.A Matte Lipsticks

Image
L.A GIRL LIPSTICK (P99). Before i went home to my province (Zambales), i decided to get two more lipsticks from L.A Girl. I know they are still on sale and it is the last week. So here i bought the shades of Pink Perfection and Crimson respectively. Pink Perfection Crimson SWATCH IT! Add on: Brandy From Left: Pink Perfection, Crimson and Brandy As you can see, crimson appears to be coral in the packaging. After application, it's a deep pink. I think i like it better than the rest of the l.a lippies that i have.  As mentioned in my recent lipstick review, i really love the color. It is very pigmented. Also, it is cheap for P99 which is sale from P219. For the cons please check out my first post.  http://jameilab.blogspot.com/2012/03/review-la-girl-matte.html   Wearing Pink Perfection

REVIEW: L.A Girl PRO concealer

If you are looking for a drugstore concealer that works wonder, then here is a good deal - The  L.A Girl PRO concealer. Hooray!  This concealer is greatly hyped by hundreds of beauty bloggers and gurus, maybe thousands as more people discovers the talent of the said product. They even claimed it's a great dupe for MAC Pro Long wear concealer. Well girls, the hype is real. So what's special about L.A girl pro?  Besides being long-wearing, creamy and effective in concealing, it is affordable.  In 2012, I paid a discounted price of P 224.25. Now, I believe you can get it online for P 200. It's definitely a steal. There are so many shades to choose from and remember that in choosing your shade, it should be half shade    lighter than your complexion and your foundation. Also take note that this concealer is buildable and can go from sheer to full coverage. The concealer weighs 8 grams and comes in a squeeze-tube with brush applicator....

REVIEW: L.A Girl Matte

Another product i bought from L.A Girl cosmetic line is their matte lipstick. At first, i thought that the shade was not indicated. All i can read from the label is " LIPM328 Matte Brandy " followed by the bar code. When i looked at my receipt, it says " LA Girl lipstick Matte Purple Pas " (But I don't think it is purple. It is more of a brownish red). So I bought two more, and from there i observed and found that the shade was really the one after the lip code. XD SHADE: BRANDY Great pigmented color. You could have a matte colored lips in few swipes. Cheap matte lipstick for P99! Well i got it for sale XD lucky me (originally P219). Looks great with people from fair to white complexion Packaging is bad. You should be very careful in opening the cap or you'll end up with a deformed lipstick. Staying is power is not so great. I think, i do retouching every 3-4 hours. P99.00 NOTE: Lipstick sale is until this week ...

REVIEW: L.A Girl Perfecting Liquid Makeup

Image
L.A Girl Perfecting Liquid Makeup (P231). I wanted to try products from L.A Girl Cosmetic line so i bought the Perfecting Liquid Make Up in Natural. As stated in the cover, it is oil free with vitamins C & E - which is great for oily/combination skin. Its pump Photo Credit:   http://www.lagirlusa.com/Perfecting-Liquid-Makeup-1.html Light to medium coverage. Matte.  If you're going to an air conditioned room or somewhere cold then i'll say " Yes, you may use this ". It does give that obviously makeup manipulated doll-look (if that is what they mean by glowing perfection). Personally, i think it's okay to look like you did prepared to go out.  According to the sales lady, all the products manufactured from this cosmetic line are all mineral - so thumbs up. XD  Sale for P231! Awesome deal. Dries fast so you should be very quick in blending or applying. After 3 hours, i have to retouch or put on powder because my t-z...

REVIEW: Maybelline - ExpertWear Eyeshadow Quad 32

Image
Maybelline Quad (P150) .  As part of my Bazaar Haul, i have my Maybelline Quad 32 in Lavendar Fields . This one is on sale because of a little defect seen at the upper left corner of the palette.  The eye shadows are in shimmer.   The colors are really nice. At the back it has instructions on how to get four different looks: subtle, casual, classic and dramatic. I was sort of disappointed on this because it isn't that pigmented. It is very difficult to swatch and blend. Also, I also think that it would work best with a primer because i doubt this will last long.    Same height with a nail polish. EOTD What do you think?

REVIEW: Retractable Kabuki Brush

Image
I have been using a Kabuki Brush in applying my blush even if i don't feel like doing so. I just love the feeling of using it... ♥ I love everything about it that i use it as a blush brush instead of using it in applying loose powder - very lame. XD  As small as a Nail Polish Here is how it looks when you open the cap Then you pull it down. Voila!a cute kabuki brush ♥ Very dense and fine bristles.  It is very soft and it does not hurt my skin. Great packaging. It has a cap so i could keep this one away from dust. P129.75 only! None. XD P129.75  at Landmark Trinoma
