Kaye G Naturelle Lip Tint Review and Swatches | Affordable Local Lip Tints?



It's been a while since I reviewed a makeup product, so why not start again with something affordable, local and trending, right?

We'll focus on Kaye G Naturelle Lip & Cheek Tints today. First and foremost, Kaye G Naturelle is owned by Kaye Gomez, a Filipina entrepreneur, who focuses on organic and safe beauty products. It's an online shop which buyers can reach through Facebook and Instagram. (Links will be provided at the end of the article). P.S. The shop does not only offer cheek and lip tints but has a wide variety of makeup and skin care products as well, therefore, it's worth visiting!


The cheek and lip tints have 5 variations: Dolly Pink, Peach, Burgundy, Apple and Prunes with each costing Php 120. A fair price for an organic lip tint. Did I say organic? Yup! Their products are 100% organic with key ingredients of Aloe Vera Extract, Vitamin E, Glycerine, Food Grade Colorant, Flavorant and Natural Preservatives. This means that it's safe for kids, teens, pregnant and lactating moms. In addition, their ingredients are all FDA approved for cosmetics.


Let's start with my review on the product itself. The packaging for me was a little inconvenient for the tint. It has a roll on type pack which is common. However, the texture of this tint isn't watery and more of a gel product which makes it harder to apply in a roll on. A lip cream type of packaging would make it perfect for application. The price, on the other hand, is normal for 120 pesos - not expensive and not too cheap either.

 For the performance of the product, I personally like the taste and smell. It has a bubblegum scent with no bitter taste unlike other tints I've tried. It's also lightweight and dries easily on the lips which makes it look like the natural color of your lips. Have caution in applying on the cheeks though since it dries up after seconds of application. The longevity is a plus since it stays up all day and it was even hard to remove when I did my swatches. 

Overall, this is a good buy. It has various shades to choose from and the product has a great performance. My only comment would be on the packaging since I had a bit of problem in applying the product. I would give this an 8/10. Perfect if they somehow change the packaging in the future.

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?

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,
