My Review:

Basically, I'm a kind of girl who opt for a lip product with vivid color and good staying power. But the description of this tinted lip spa intrigued me quite much that I decided to give it a try.

Applied to the lips, the product glides on smoothly and easily, giving a cooling minty sensation to my lips ( quite refreshing to be worn on a hot sunny day). Granted, it moisturizes my lips but the moisture stays only for couple of hours. 3 hours to the max, I noted.

And the product is not very pigmented, but it is probably because I bought a nude color, I should try a bright color one to be able to give fair judgment about the pigmentation.












My major turn off about this product is that it leaves white flakes on my lips when it dries up. I hate when my lipstick does that on me, urgh.

In my conclusion, this product is wearable for short period and when you wanted a natural look ( as you can't rely on its staying power).

When I blended it,











- Color: just pink ( check another available colors here)
- Texture: cream
- Scent: unscented ( yay!)

My review:

I really, really, really love this product. It's my dream blush on!

Well, despite the fact that it was a cream blush-on, it's not difficult to apply, it's not difficult to blend. You don't need that professional make-up skill to wear it.

The key in applying this product is that you don't sweep, but you pat until it blends well with your skin. The vibrancy is in your hand. You can have it subtle looked, soft looked or eye-catching looked.

I only need a very small amount for each time's application. I just lightly dabbed it once with one finger for each cheeks. This product is very pigmented and so a little is enough ( unless you want to create a dramatic look).
















So far that I know ( I've been wearing this product for almost 4 months), I'm not allergic to it. And I never breaking out from it.

And talking about the staying power, this product stays for almost the whole day on my cheeks indoor, and around 6-8 hours outdoor ( talking about hot, humid Jakarta's weather!)

** Tips: I always wear this product after my bb cream and before my loose powder to control the color and to make it last longer =)

Price:

Around 95.000 IDR in NYX official counter

My review:

First, I really hate the packaging. The transparent plastic cover is fragile. I accidentally broke it when I opened it.

The good things about this product are: 1. It is unscented, 2. The powder shadows have enough pigments, 3. It comes with 2 functional mini brushes ( I really love the slanted brush! It makes the application easier).

I bought the product at the official NYX counter in MKG. The SA girl was quite an idiot. She didn't understand about the product at all. I asked her about the gray powder shadow ( since I don't want to have gray brows, and she said that I could use the gray as eyeshadow while the description on the web is quite clear, "Shades can also be blended for a natural match". Girl, please... Pay attention to stuffs you sell!).

The mini brushes are very easy to use. The round brush used to refine brows shape and the slanted brush used to apply the powder shadows.

I only need small amount of the powder shadow to fill in my brows.













Price:

Around 65.000 IDR

Overall Rating:

4 out of 5. The only turn-off is the packaging.

Will I re-purchase:

Not sure. I'm considering a pencil eyebrow by now. For easier application
