NYX Matte Lipstick in Summer Breeze
Hi everyone. Firstly, I would like to apologize to my readers. I apologize if by any way your head aches everytime you read my blog due to my faulty grammar. I do not proof read my posts. I received an anonymous comment about it and I am sincerely grateful for her comment. I just hope she wrote it out of sheer concern. My friend jokingly said "baka EIC yan" haha. If I have read your comment months ago, I would perceive it negatively. But now, I see things in a more positive light. Praise God!!!!!!! I have to admit I am not good in tenses. As in. Super. I will work on it. :) Thank you again.. :)) For the nth time, I want to reiterate that I am not a writer. So forgive my grammar. I just love sharing to my readers my makeup musings and bits of my life. :) (No there is no secondly and thirdly na..hehe)
Moving on, I was sent by Khei Shop two items for review. She was supposed to give me NYX Matte Lipstick in Shocking Pink but I opted for Summer Breeze. I have enough SHOCKING pink lipstick shades for now. :) I thought that this was a medium pink shade as reviewed by another blogger.For me the shade is a light-medium pink with loads of blue undertone. Like a Nicki Minaj-ish pink color.
I have always been drawn to matte lipsticks because they do not stain my teeth!! This is indeed matte but very creamy. It glides really well on the lips. I am comparing this lipstick to the Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks which are really dry and super matte. This has a very subtle sweet scent but not as sweet like the NYX Black Label Lipsticks.
This can be a bit drying on the lips so I see to it that I moisturize my lips really well before applying it. It does not stay long enough on my lips. I had to retouch after two-three hours. Also, when it fades, my lip color does not look even. This lipstick is very pigmented with one swipe but I love to put two layers of it for a fuller color. |
I love to try other shades! Like Audrey, Angel, Strawberry Daiquiri and Bloody Mary.
I am a bit disappointed with the Summer Breeze shade or perhaps I am just not used to light pink lippies. I imagine that this will look divine on someone with fair skin. On me, I looked so washed out when I wear this alone or even with a blush. However, I will definitely pair this shade with smokey eyes and bronzed cheeks!!

This is the true shade on my lips. See how pigmented it is? My dark lip lines were very well concealed with its color!
This is sold at Khei Shop for 360 pesos.

The review made was based on my honest opinion about the product.
Godbless everyone!

Hello everyone!! how was your weekend? I would always wake up with grumpy mood on Mondays. I hate Mondays from the day I started to have a job. Haha Now, I know why people love Fridays! :) A while ago, upon opening my eyes, I felt that it was raining. The cool weather made me want to stop my phone alarm and I vehemently tried to get 15 minutes more of fake sleep.
Fake sleep = awake but intentionally shutting both eyes to catch sleep.
Just my random thoughts.
I was supposed to do this post last week. However, I was in Iloilo for two days with no wifi in my room. Hence, the late post. I was thrilled when Czar contacted me for another Hydroboost event. I love the Hydroboost gel moisturizer when they released it last year. I had super dry skin but it work well on my skin. I went to the event with Say. We decided to go together since the company where she had her OJT was just near my office. From the moment we met at El Pueblo from the time I dropped her off at Galleria, we never stopped chatting. When I arrived at the place, I was amazed on how Neutrogena put everything so well together. |

Hannah of Flair candy was the host for the night. Isn't she gorgeous?
The event was filled with activities where we get to learn more of the Hydroboost gel benefits. |

There are two test that I enjoyed the most. One is this one where they will apply brand X on the back of your hand and Neutrogena Hydroboost on the other. Then they sprinkled Styrofoam balls (I do not know what they are called). Then styrofoam balls got stuck to the hand with brand x because they are very greasy and will take minutes to completely dry. Look at Say in this picture! |
Another test that was really amazing was the Oily Imprint Test. Here you can see that oil blotting paper with Neutrogena on it was completely dried after hours and the other blotting paper still looked wet as if oil was splattered on it. Yay! Imagine that your moisturizer is Brand X and you are literally putting more oil on your face!
Here are the new products from Neutrogena:
|
Neutrogena Deep Clean Ultra Foam Cleanser Price: 307 pesos Effecttively removes 99% of dirt, oil, dead skin and impurities from the skin with a velvety foam.
I can still remember that I used the Deep Clean Variant of Neutrogena way back in college. It came in a usual tube with dark brown honey-ish color. It was absolutely one of the most horrendous products I have tried back then. I have super dry skin and after using it, it made my skin so tight! Knowing that Neutrogena changed the formulation made me excited to try this product.I am not fond of foam cleansers because I still have that fear that it might dry my skin more. I am already testing the Pink Grapefruit. Full review on these cleansers will be posted soon. |
|
I am extremely excited with these one. The Hydro Boost Gel is now equipped with the much coveted SPF 30 to protect our skin from the harsh sun rays. No icky sticky feel. Just that gentle light formula! I will start using this tomorrow!!This costs 830 pesos. Detailed review on this soon. |
|
And of course, another jar of heaven!!! I love this!! So much.. One of the best moisturizer I have tried. :))
Now, I leave you with food porn from the event! I swear I almost finish everything except for the steak.. HIHI |
|
Thank you Neutrogena for this wonderful opportunity.
Godbless everyone!!
