Lippie

Hi there mommies! Today is about LIPPIE day. I will share what lipsticks or lip gloss I have in my makeup kit.

What's inside my bag?

First is my all time favorite BUXOM lip gloss. I literally cannot buy this because it is NOT AVAILABLE in the Philippines. So what I always do is I wait for my Aunt Mitch to buy this for me as a present. Haha! Yeah.. I know what you are thinking. Well, if someone will give you something as amazing as Buxom lip gloss, wouldn’t you use it too?

Photo taken by me, of course, these are mine. haha

Thanks Tita Mitch / Inday for my Buxom lip gloss!

Why do I like this? I like this because the scent is so inviting. It smells like chocolate especially the DOLLY shade. When you apply it on your lips, it may sound weird but it is so minty. It makes your lips extra pouty after a few seconds of applying it. It DOES NOT give me any itch! So, thanks to this lip gloss I can now have a sexy lip in shiny finish.

When did I start using this? I started using this about 2 or 3 years ago. Would I recommend this for allergic prone skin? Yes! Definitely! Because it did not give me allergic reactions so it would possibly work out for you out there too.

How much? I really do not have a clue until I started this article because those were given to me only. It may cost $20 each. That’s Php820 if you are going to convert it into peso at Php41 each dollar. The price is based on buxomcosmetics.com. Wow!

Second is time to share my all time favorite REVLON lipstick which I have been using for 3-4 years now. Well, I do not know what’s up with the REVLON products in some malls here in our town. They give me itch but when my Aunt Menchie bought some for me, I tried it and it did not give me any itch at all. So my favorite is REVLON straight from the US which is 030 Pink Pearl Shade. I use it for daily use.

Photo taken by me, of course, these are mine. haha

Thanks Tita Menchie for the gifts.

Why do I like this? I like this particular color of Revlon because I can use it daily. It does not give me itch. It does not leave black stains on my lips because some Revlon products in our town give me black stains. But this one does not. No itch at all. It’s simple looking. This belongs to Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick collection. Again, I did not buy this here. I just got this from my Aunt because I cannot afford it and I cannot find this shade here in our city.

Price? Basically, I just browsed revlon.com and I cannot find the price. But from amazon it is $6, from CVS pharmacy it is $8.99 and from walmart it is $4.97. So the price in the Philippines if converted must range from Php 203.77 up to Php 368.59. Not bad! But mall price in our city is 150-200 pesos more expensive. Probably because of the shipping fee and all. I don’t know. I don’t work there. I don’t own the mall. Haha! But I love this Pink Pearl shade.

Third to share is my favorite Mary Kay Exotic Mango which I also use as daily use. It is long wearing. At first, I was only using the samplers because I really cannot afford to buy one. But when I was winning challenges from Mary Kay as a consultant, I get FREEBIES. I love FREEBIES. Who doesn’t anyway. It costs Php 860. But this February 22 -29, they are on SALE! 20% lesser on the original price. Ain’t that fabulous!?

Why do I like this? I don’t like it. I LOVE EXOTIC MANGO because it is long wearing compared with some other sheer products I used before. I like the smell. It’s not too sweet and it’s not too cosmetic-smelling. It does not give me allergy or makes me sneeze.

Fourth and last, my all time favorite RED Crème lipstick of Mary Kay. I wear red because I do not look good with any pink shade! Too bad. I know. The face I have is not sweet looking that’s why I cannot go with pink so I opted for RED. And this bloody vampire red is the red I love to wear. It is timely. I cannot just go wrong with this. It’s only Php 700.

So these are my Mary Kay favorites:

Red Rouge and Exotic Mango.

And these are my photos and lipsticks. 

And that's my portfolio on the background. Haha!

Why do I love this? First, it does not give me allergies. Second, it is long lasting. I only apply once a day and it lasts up to 7-8 hours. If I do retouch and try to remove it at night, good luck for when I wake up the next day, it’s still there! How practical! Third, my customers who bought this RED shade are so happy that they want to order more products from me. They call this “TIPID na LIPSTICK”. Yes, it is TIPID because I had been using this lipstick since last year and it is already February and I still have a lot. Fourth, it looks sexy and does not mess up. Fifth, it does not smell awful!

Remember: COST and WORTH are two different things. There are cheap items but for allergic-prone skin people like me, are you willing to sacrifice your health for cheaper items? Think about it. Medicines are more expensive than these products.

So, I hope you enjoyed reading my article which is full of FREEBIES! Thanks to my Aunt Mitch, Aunt Menchie and Mary Kay, I do not have to buy lipsticks anymore. Haha! But of course, I cannot ask from them all the time, they too have families and priorities. Thanks to my Aunts, I get to experience using these lovely items. Thanks to Mary Kay for my freebies as well. That’s the reason why I always want to reach my quota because the rewards are great!
