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 :)
