A Raconteur’s Story

Today, I have a lip and cheek tint review for you. I think that these can only be bought in the Philippines so.. I kinda feel bad for not doing an 'international-bought product' but I feel like there's a need for more reviews regarding local products so that Filipinos will be encouraged to try them out. So, here it goes!

Let's check out the packaging first.. shall we?

Each product comes with a box that's 4.1 inches long which states the name, shade, description, ingredients, directions, some warnings and storage. It's simple yet, pretty.

The ingredients listed :

Water, Glycerin, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum, Tetrasodium EDTA, BHT, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben.

The product itself is inside a clear tube that includes a wand for easier application and this thing is very light and travel friendly. For ₱90.00 each with 11 grams of product, it's very affordable and worth for its price.

There are three shades available for purchase; named Stargazer, Cinnamon and Hibiscus. Take a look at the swatches I made below :)

As you can see, the two main colors are probably Stargazer and Cinnamon; and it got mixed up to make a hybrid named Hibiscus. All of the colors are very pretty and all of them smells the same. Its scent is sweet as if it was made with sugar.

The product is very blendable—it doesn't dry up too quickly. It gives you enough time to blend the color evenly across the apples of your cheeks. It has a bit of a flaw; you kind of need to build up the amount of product for the shade to show through. (like the ones on my swatches) But if you ask me, I like it that way because you are able to match the amount of product with your own liking and mix and match them, too.

The product is versatile. It can be used as a lip tint or a cheek tint. I personally use it for the cheeks because it tends to give me a really natural look that came from within. Another downside of the product is that it doesn't last long. The color fades in time so you need to apply it once in a while.

Its perfect for everyday use and it's clearly safe. If you came across a Natasha agent, I recommend you to check this out for yourselves. :)

That's all for now! I'm kind of contemplating about the Iron Suit Project :/ because the file seems to be kind of weird... but I'm going to fix the problem when I can find the time and I'll let you know about it as soon as it gets fixed. I'm also thinking about doing youtube for quite a while now. Mmm.. we'll never know. Maybe you'll just see me posting a bunch of things on there haha :) We'll see.. We'll see :)

Hi Lovelies!

I'm back with my recent purchase from @NyxWPH. I bought this way back on December but I got the products this January (because it's a pre-order website) and she sells drugstore and high-end brands from the US and ships nationwide. (I couldn't link you to her website because they are currently constructing a new site. But I will definitely update you on their new website soon)

I bought 3 things from them.

First one are these Real Techniques Core Collection brushes.

I had the Starter Set for a while now, and I can say that it's pretty amazing. I am itching to get my hands on these brushes and It's finally here with me!

It includes 4 brushes (and please excuse the dirty ones on my photo hihi) and they are very fluffy.

Every single brushes do their job well and I am extremely in love with the buffing brush. It has a seamless finish that I absolutely adore! (I will make a review on the Starter Set and this one soon. So please check that out in the future :])

This is the Wet 'n Wild Ultimate Brow Kit in the shade "Ash Brown"

I have heard so much about this stuff and my only concern is that this is the only shade available for this brow kit--but I think it works well for everyone as I tried it on my brows. It includes two powders; (the light and the dark one) and a wax to set everything. It has a little brow brush that can make very define lines and the tweezer is too small (well at least on my opinion) but I think it can work.

I looked the back part of this kit, and it says that it has a mirror in this one. But I can't find it when I laid my eyes not this thing. I was like; "ohhh they forgot to add it in!" "where is it?" and I feel shameful when I slide the side drawer out because it revealed the mirror. lols!

I originally bought the shade "Mauve" but she texted me and told me that the shade isn't available anymore so I had too select another one. So I opt for the shade Natural because it gives the same color tone.

I love this thing because it's very close to my real lip color. I pair this lip liner with my nude to mauve lipsticks.

At first look, you might think that it's a medicine of some sort. I was a bit scared to check this one out 'cause I thought that it might be a drug. But I did my research and found out that it was a lip stick sample from Urban Decay. (Thank you so much for adding this thing!)

It's in the shade F-Bomb and I would definitely try this out!

Those are the three things that I bought from them and I will do reviews on the products soon.

I will be a little MIA but I'm working on a vlog starting tomorrow because I'm going out somewhere with my father and I will try to film footage for you.

So that's all and I'll see you on the next one!
