Brown & Berry | Viva Glam III & Fashion Revival by MAC

For days I am being quite bold and needs a lip color to match my confidence, I take out these guns. MAC's Viva Glam III and Fashion Revival, both in matte, are my go-to brown and berry lip color. Both lipsticks are gifted,  the Fashion Revival by Aldrin and Viva Glam III came all the way from Canada from my favorite aunt. 

FASHION REVIVAL

This color is deep raspberry with a semi-matte finish. This is a limited edition color and I am lucky enough to get one. This baby can last for up to 7 hours on me. This is my favorite date lipstick. I usually wear this with very light blush and nude eyes.

Fashion Revival + Swatches (one swipe vs five swipes)

theBalm The Manizer Sisters Luminizing Palette

Another palette that has been a staple on my purse is theBalm's The Manizer Sisters. It's a highlighter, bronzer, blush, and eye shadow in one! This palette can definitely multitask. Its slim and travel-friendly packaging makes it easier for me to bring this baby wherever I go. 

Benefit Real Cheeky Party | Swatches

I finally got my Benefit Real Cheeky Party Kit and it is definitely a party! This is my first time to try Benefit products and I am obsessed with its gorgeous packaging. This limited edition Holiday kit was immediately sold out here in Manila. It was wiped out from all the Benefit branches in a flash.

Tarte Bling It On Blush Palette | Review & Swatches

At last! After months of contemplating, I finally decided to get a Tarte Bling It On Amazonian Clay blush palette. I bought this as a gift from me to me. I have been lurking around online stores for almost a year and it has been a vicious cycle of looking at Tarte blush palettes, asking for the price, then resisting the urge to buy afterwards. It went like that for almost a year.

Product Feature: VMV Hypoallergenics Lipsticks

It has been a bit quiet lately here on my blog but I am here again! 

I recently purchased two lipsticks from VMV hypoallergenics. I am having a hard time looking for a lipstick shade which is close to my natural lip color. I know, you might be thinking that finding a lip color which resembles your natural lips defies the sole purpose of a lipstick. But I just want something to enhance my lip color, making them look healthier and more polished. 

I have not tried VMV but I have heard good reviews about this brand. It being hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, non-comedogenic, are some of the benefits which sound absolutely appealing to me. The product claims to be:

• Validated hypoallergenic
• 100% Dye-Free.
• 100% Free of Irritating Waxes (including Beeswax and its cross-reactors), Phthalates, Parabens + Preservatives.
• 100% Free of All-Types-Of-Fragrance.
• Non-Comedogenic, Non-Drying. Non-Darkening. Usage + Patch-Tested

These are all good news!

I bought two shades: 

1. Beet Sugar - subtle shine finish
2. Saloon - velvet matte finish

Packaging looks simple and sleek
