Shawill Vogue Noble Lipstick Review


Removing the cap, she slowly twist the tube and gently but swiftly swiped the product in her plump lips. And almost instantly, a vibrant color of her choice made her whole look complete.

And that's the power of lipstick.

Ahh if you've noticed, my make up obssession lately is focused on lipsticks. Ahem. Affordable lipsticks. I've been searching in malls for fab and worth it products that I can wear to accentuate my outfit. As they all say, a woman's best feature is her smile...pair it up with a fantabulous lipstick. Simple and nice trick if you don't have the money to buy extravagant jewelries. 


In this review I will be featuring the Shawill Noble Vogue, a non-matte affordable lipstick worth 128 pesos only. It has Vitamin E for moisturizing, water microspheres and steady color according to the packaging.








The packaging is simple, nothing too fancy. It has the common twist and cap design with the brand printed at the top. It twists smoothly, not like some affordable lippies that sometimes get stuck. The color variety they offer, on the other hand, is somewhat lacking. I've only seen 4-5 colors for this line in SM megamall and it ranges from different shades of pink to red. But I've seen their ig, this line actually has 9 colors with brown shades included. Plus, the colors are by numbers. Mine is 04 which is an orange-y red color. For the availability, you can check SM and Watsons for Shawill products. I bought this at SM Megamall.




My application went smoothly. I had no problems with it. It's very pigmented. Moreover, it does not have an overwhelming smell, rather kind of like sweet scented perfume which I'm in awe with. The lipstick do transfer so unfortunately it does not last that long. In my experience, it only lasted for two hours because I ate oily dishes and it wiped the product off. Also, it's not that light weight on the lips. But the good thing about this is it moisturizes your lips well, thus, you can just reapply all you want and it won't be drying to your lips.


Summary:
Price: 5/5
Packaging: 3/5
Availability: 5/5
Product: 4/5
Longevity: 2/5

Verdict:
I'm loving this product because of how affordable and pigmented it is. Although there is a problem with its longevity, I will still buy again. There's no problem in re applying due to the fact that it doesn't make your lips dry.

Ever Bilena Shade Lipstick Review with Swatches


Affordable lippies, anyone?

Lipsticks are trending nowadays. From the coveted matte lipsticks to dazzling liquid lipsticks, lippies have a wide range of designs. This is why I can't stop going GA-GA over them. BUT, as we all know a lot of popular lippies are really expensive and makes a dent in our precious savings. (Even the drugstore ones, to be honest)

I chanced upon a makeup sale at Shopwise. Selected cosmetics on Maybelline and Ever Bilena were half off so I browsed the shelf. I skipped Maybelline because Ever Bilena is much cheaper. So I just focused on Ever Bilena. (By the way, it is a local brand in the Philippines which sells cheap quality cosmetic products). They have two lines of buy one take one lipsticks. The other was a normal lipstick but what stood out was the Ever Bilena Shade Lipstick which has a buy one take one promo for only 95 pesos.

95 Pesos for two lipsticks!


This is how it looks like. Personally, I don't like how the packaging was designed because I prefer sleek simple lipsticks like EB Matte. The design of this line is just overwhelming and over the top. It's plastic, and like the classic design, you have to twist it. However, what I noticed was it was hard to twist at times because it gets stuck.


What attracted me to this lipstick was its unique center. I was really wondering what the white was. The saleslady told me that it's a moisturizer which is a PLUS since there are lipsticks that are drying to the lips. I'm hoping this one doesn't.


I bought the bundle with the Rosy Mirage which is a pinkish nude color and Red Vixen which should be a classic Marilyn Monroe red. There are a lot of choices but it came with bundles of two. I wanted to have a nude plus a red so I chose this.


The colors are sheer and it reminds me of a lip balm. The texture of the product is very smooth which makes the lippie glide to your lips perfectly. Based on the swatches in my hand, the colors were true to the packaging.


Okay, so the red vixen was a little lighter than what I imagined it to be in the camera. BUT, in person it was reddish orange which is a great color. The rose mirage, on the other hand, turned out great. All in all, I have no problems with the colors. 

Although it's very sheer, you can just apply and apply again because it's really light on the lips and does not give off that heaviness that most lipsticks do. PLUS, it does moisturize your lips really well.

For the longevity, I applied the Rose Mirage at 6pm and I snapped a picture of my lips after 4 hours: 10:00 pm. 

As you can see, the color is still there and you can't see any patches gone which I'm surprised about since it transfers. I was really shocked because I expected the color to almost vanish because of its price and the fact that it transfers to everything. 

Summary:
Price: 5/5
Packaging: 2/5
Availability: 5/5
Product: 4/5
Longevity: 5/5

Verdict:
I am totally in love with this product because it's like a tinted lip balm in its moisturizing effect. It does not dry my lips at all. In addition, it's light on the lips. Plus, it's only 95 pesos! I am going to buy another for sure.



Love,
