Careline Kiss Sticks Product Review


It's been a while since I posted a product review, hope this article helps for you! (I can't believe that one rhymed, lol)


Anyways, the product that I would be reviewing today is the very popular new-ish release of Careline which is their Kiss Sticks line. It's a lipstick line where in they designed it as a pen type product. But what makes it so popular and special?

First is the availability of this product, we all know Careline is in almost all department stores nationwide. And recently, they are also in partnership with Beauty Mnl which is a well-known and reliable online shop here in the Philippines. All of these makes Careline Kiss Sticks convenient and available for purchase in just the tip of your hand. In addition, they offer 12 shades which almost ranges to all your needs - from nude to red and even green and purple.


The packaging, on the other hand, is a normal pen type lipstick with the brand logo and the very unique and I must say the one I like the most is their tagline which is "Better than basic". At first glance, you will only see the normal pen type pencil but when you pull the top tip of the lippie, you will see their built-in sharpener. I'm shookt. Literally. I didn't expect a sharpener because you can twist it to have more product unlike other lippies which needs it. But, if you prefer a sharp pointed lippie and not the rounded one, then the built-in sharpener gives you a choice.


Let's get on the most awaited part which is the product itself. For me, it lives up to its claim that it glides smoothly on the lips because you wouldn't feel dryness once applied. Plus, the pigmentation is really great because one swipe and you'll see the vibrant color of the lipstick. Although, you will need to exfoliate your lips before applying it because the product will highlight the dryness of your lips. For those looking for kissproof lipsticks, well, this is not for you because it transfers.


Overall, I like this product very much. It's affordable with only P175 pesos each and Careline didn't sacrifice the quality of the product. It transfers but it is very lightweight so retouch isn't a hassle. What do you guys think of this product?

Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Mascara Review



Mascaras have always been my go-to makeup. If I'm in a rush or just plain lazy, I always put on a light swipe of my favorite Mascara. There's just something about having crazy long and bold lashes that I love. In addition, I find it less hassle than putting on falsies. I'm horrible at applying falsies, the glue always messes it up! (Yes Fris blame it on the glue..)

Anyway, this is why I'm always hungry for Mascaras. (You know me, it's always going to come back with food). There are a lot of mascaras in the market. What I look for is first - it should be water proof, second - the specified category of lengthening lashes which differs in their wand. Now, Rucy's Vanity - a Korean cosmetics online brand here in the Philippines - offered to give me their product for a review. I actually have the haul here. This time, I will write a detailed review on their product - Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Mascara.


Since Rucy's Vanity is an online store, it's pretty much accessible to all internet users at http://rucysvanityph.com/. Also, a plus side is that it's really affordable with Php 180.00 pesos per piece. For a waterproof mascara, it's already a steal. The packaging, on the other hand, is a classic black which is a safe choice. I'm okay with this because it's simple and sleek. Moreover, the cap twists smoothly which makes it easy to use.


The mascara wand is very convenient with its thin bristles. This lets you apply the product smoothly without bumping to the skin around your eyes. Although, it does clump a little which can be fixed with a little bit of zigzag motion whilst applying.

RESULTS:


As you can see, it really lengthen and made my lashes look bolder. Although, it did have clumps which I'm a little disappointed at. However, this survived my cry fest while watching Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo which proves that it really is waterproof.

VERDICT:

This is a steal because it's made in Korea and is affordable. Most Korean cosmetics are really expensive so it's a breath of fresh air to encounter a cheaper one. The product is high quality and waterproof so thumbs up. The only problem is that it clumps a little, just apply in zigzag motion. I will buy this for sure!

Oseur Facial Cream Review - Cheapest Anti-Acne EVER?


Pimples or Acne have always been a major 'blemish' problem for most people, including me. Those red bumps are not only a distracting flaw but also a warning of how dirty your skin is. It has various causes, from bacteria to reaction from menstruation (for women), making it one of the most common blemish one can have. Most brands know this, that's why there are many anti-acne or acne prevention products in the market. However, not all of them are effective to most people and it's really hard to find a product that is suitable for your skin. It's kind of a trial and error process, really. You find the product good for you after trying out a couple but to those people who can't afford to keep on buying skin care products for acne prevention, I have a solution for you.


This post is all about Oseur Pearl Facial Cream - an affordable all around cream for the face. It has three variants, the red packaging for the oily and dry skin and the pearl packaging. In this review, I will be focusing on the red packaging for dry skin because I've seen results on this one. For the oily skin and pearl packaging, my skin didn't react well and it caused me breakouts. The dry skin variant is only Php 20- 25 for 10grams, I forgot the exact price. You can buy the Oseur facial cream in any
Mercury drug stores. This gives the buyers an assurance that its FDA approved and somewhat safe to use.


The packaging is not sturdy. It's made of plastic and the cap gets opened easily. I suggest for you to refrain on putting this on your bag because it might open easily. The product, on the other hand, appears yellow but when applied to the skin, it turns white.


In the product description, it is stated that it can be used as a makeup base. I sincerely suggest you to NOT use it during day time as a cream or a makeup base. First, it's oily as seen in the picture above. Second, it's very white and does not match any skin tone. Third, it smells unpleasantly overwhelming. For me, I just use this as a night cream and leave it overnight.


Directions (as stated in the product description given)

Wash with warm water and mild soap before each application. For best results, apply for 2-3 times a day - morning, afternoon and night. Get a small dab of cream by the fingertips and spread over the face. Rub well into the skin until it disappears. Apply extra on the blemishes you have, also can be applied to neck for women. Apply this cream as a make-up base for cosmetics. For men: this cream is an invisible medication that can be worn all day and all night to help dry up, clear pimples and make your skin smooth. 

Results:

(This article has been long overdue that's why the result is dated back in January, hihi sorry)


As seen in the picture, there is a huge difference in my face. My pimples really dried up. Although, I haven't seen any difference in my blackheads. In addition, my face did not feel smooth after application, just the same feel I had before. Nevertheless, I bought this for my acne problem and it did the job, it also whitened my face a bit that's why I stopped applying and focused on my neck instead.


Verdict:

 This is probably the cheapest facial cream I've encountered that has positive results. Although, I must warn you that this product needs maintenance because once you stop using it, pimples will emerge. Plus, if you're going to use this, also apply on your neck so that it will both whiten not just your face. (like mine did lol)

Reigns Castor Oil Review and Benefits




Mascaras are lovely to the lashes because it makes them look long and healthy. Plus, it gives make-up lovers bold lashes. However, sometimes putting on make-up everyday can be tiring. In addition, there are instances in which one doesn't have the time to apply cosmetics. Therefore, having a readily long eyelashes can really save time. And who doesn't want naturally long lashes anyway, right?

 Now this is where Castor oil comes in. This product has the capacity to make your hair longer be it lashes, eyebrows etc. Once you apply it, you just have to wait for some time (depends on the person) for it to work. Castor oil is a very popular product here in the Philippines so it's not a hassle for anyone to buy it. But as a suggestion, I bought mine at Reigns Essentials - a beauty brand here in the Philippines. ( I will put the link on where to buy this at the bottom of the post, so don't worry)

A 50ml bottle costs Php 50.00 which is really a steal. If you want to apply this on your lashes, they also sell 15ml clear mascara bottle. Believe me, 50ml can last ages. I haven't even finished my 15ml castor oil in the mascara bottle even though I apply every night for a month already.

 Here are the benefits of Castor oil:

 1.) Long Lashes and Hair, Plus Thicker Brows too!

 - This is actually the main reason why I bought Castor oil. I wanted to have longer lashes which will help me skip applying mascaras for my day to day routine. And we all know, fake lashes can be a hassle sometimes. Plus, it's pretty hard to wait for your lashes to grow naturally without any help. So every night, I took it to heart to diligently apply castor oil every single day. At first, you won't see the results right away but just be patient. All good things take time. Eventually, after a month or so, I saw my lashes grew longer. Believe me, 1mm is a big difference if we're talking about lashes.
 



I haven't tried applying it to my hair and brows yet, but I think that it will have the same results. Besides, I already experienced it with my lashes.

 2.) Cotton Soft Lips

 Ladies and gents, skip your lip balm because we have winner. Applying castor oil on your lips every night can leave it soft and smooth during the day. This in turn, will solve your matte lip cream chapped lips problem. Smooch away!

 3.) Removes Clingy Lippies 

Oh you know, the lippies that are too stubborn to remove.  Castor oil can be a make-up remover for lippies 'only'. Because we don't want to have a hairy face, ayt? Just kidding. But to be safe, avoid applying castor oil all over your face.

 Isn't Reigns Castor oil a steal?

Rucy's Vanity Haul & First Impressions


Korean makeup is a booming trend nowadays. Thus, a lot of people, including me, love to try out cosmetics made from Korea since it's known for its quality and exquisite products. As such, Korean cosmetics are often priced more expensive than drug store makeup. When I heard about Rucy's Vanity PH - an affordable cosmetics brand here in the Philippines that produces Korean made high quality beauty products - I was ecstatic. They sent me their make-up products that can be used for a whole Korean make-up look.

This post will be my Rucy's Vanity Haul and first impressions since I plan to review all of these products in individual posts. The reason is that I feel like if I reviewed all of these in one post, it would be too long. Therefore, I will posts reviews on each product.

Here's the haul:

1.) Rucy's Vanity Two- Way Cake

- This is the two- way cake foundation of Rucy's Vanity priced at Php 250.00. The price can actually be patterned to drug store cosmetics here in the Philippines. It's a breath of fresh air, really, since it's hard to find affordable Korean cosmetics.


It only has two shades: Natural Beige (for fair skin), Dark Beige (for Morena). It's a little bit short on the variations and I'm hoping they release more options for this foundation. What I love about this is their packaging. It's very classy with its white overall color and a hint of pink. Once you open it, you can see the powder puff on top of a clear cap which reminds me of BB cushions. It's very innovative which is a plus for me.


2.) Rucy's Vanity Lip & Cheek Red

- This is their version of lip and cheek tint priced at Php 80.00 for 8ml. At first, I was disappointed because for the price, 8 ml seems so small. However, once I tried this, I changed my mind. It's very pigmented, I'm not even kidding. For a small dot, you can have rosy cheeks.


3.) Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Mascara

- Their waterproof mascara is very affordable priced at Php 180.00. It's in a very simple and sleek packaging. The cap twists smoothly. So far, I have no trouble with the packaging.


The mascara wand is very convenient with its thin bristles. This lets you apply the product smoothly without bumping to the skin around your eyes. Although, it does clump a little which can be fixed with a little bit of zigzag motion whilst applying. (This actually survived the sad moments of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo)


4.) Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Eyeliner

- Their eyeliner is smaller than the mascara and is priced at Php 160.00. I would have preferred it to be longer so its easier to apply. (Somehow my usual problem with eyeliners are how small their wands are)
 

I love how thin the tip is because it makes it easier to control. Plus, you can form subtle thin lines on your eyes which is great for your daily look and is perfect if your going for the Korean makeup look.


5.) Rucy's Vanity Auto Eyebrow Pencil

- Their eyebrow pencil comes in three colors: black, brown, and grey. This gives customers a wide range of options to choose from which I love. Plus, it has a very affordable price at Php 80.00. I liked the packaging simply because it's sturdy and smooth. Plus, simple elegance is a way to go.


Verdict:

I love Rucys Vanity because not only are they affordable but they also have high quality products. What more can a makeup lover want, right? My favorites (Yes, with an s because I'm like that) are the Cheek & Lip Red, Auto Eyebrow Pencil & Two- Way cake. I think these three stood out from the rest because they're exceptional with their pigment and smooth feel. Although I would have loved if the two-way cake had a dewy finish.

I hope you guys loved this haul! I would be writing a full review for each items by next week so wait for it.
