Maybelline Lip Gradation Review with Complete Swatches

Maybelline has many lines from their lip section. They offer a lot of various lippies with different formulas but out of all those lines, the Maybelline Lip Gradation is probably my favorite (so far)! I like this line because it is totally different from their other lippies and because the concept is interesting. This product caters to achieving that ombre or graded lips effect.

Pink Sugar Sugar Tints Review and Swatches

Hi everyone!

I just want to share with you my swatches of the Pink Sugar Sugar Tints. I did a video review on these lippies in my YouTube channel a couple of months back. I just thought I'd share them here in my blog as well especially the swatches.

PRODUCT REVIEW: NYX Xtreme Lip Cream

Hi everyone! I am super excited to write about these NYX Xtreme Lip Cream, number 1 is because these were sent to me by Ghel, the owner on NYX Cosmetics by Onlineshoppingzone and number 2 is because these lip creams are sooooooooo awesome that I just had to include them on my Holy Grail list. ;-)

I have already uploaded  video review and lip swatches of these NYX Xtreme Lip Creams so here, I'm just going to add more photos and list down the pros and cons.

NYX has a total of 11 shades of the Xtreme Lip Creams and Ghel sent me 6 shades (so generous of her!) and they are Skin Tone, Natural, Buttery Nude, Pinky Nude, Spicy, and Absolute Red.

NYX Xtreme Lip Creams come with doe-foot applicators which are great for precise applications. The packaging is a short plastic tube, almost similar with the Soft Matte Lip Creams it's just that SMLCs are a bit bigger than the XLCs.

PROS:

- High pigmentation

- Stays on for long hours (4-5 hours)

- Available in 11 different shades (from nudes to reds)

- Smooth and moisturizing on the lips

- Silky and glossy but not too glossy (you know what I mean?)

- Not sticky

- Fills in the crevices of the lips

- Has a sweet candy-like smell

which I think

CONS:

- might be a problem to some people (especially those who have allergies to scents)

- and that's it! :)

L Top-Bottom: Pinky Nude, Spicy, Absolute Red
R Top-Bottom: Skin Tone, Natural, Buttery Nude

NYX Slim Lip Pencils Review and Swatches

NYX Slim Lip Pencils are to die for! Ever since I tried my first ever NYX slim lip pencil, I got hooked on collecting it. I am a woman of color and I love sporting bold lips and unusual lip colors and I am so glad because NYX offers a wiiiiiiiide range of shades to choose from for their lip collections including the slim lip pencils.

Here is a video of my NYX Slim Lip Pencils review and swatches:

PROS:

- High pigmentation

- Stays on for long hours (8 hours or so)

- Price is affordable (I got mine for only 60 - 80 pesos each)

- 60 different shades available

- Glides on smoothly

- Doesn't feel dry on the lips

CONS:

- Takes a little more time to apply since they're very slim

- Sizes of pencils are not the same when purchased

- Some shades look exactly the same

So, those are the first 20 shades of my NYX Slim Lip Pencils. It's not easy to swatch all those colors so PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY PHOTOS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

I love, love, love these pencils! These are also perfect to use as a base for your lipsticks or lip glosses. They avoid the feathering and bleeding of some lipsticks. That's it for now, just wait for the second part of the swatches.

I bought most of these pencils from NYX Cosmetics by Onlineshopping Zone. They sell the NYX Slim Lip pencils for only 75 pesos each. If you want to purchase, just check out their Facebook page.

Stay awesome and accomplish your missions my dear dudettes! :)
