Dull to Pinkish Soft Lips by PixiGlow

Standard

I love lippies (Lipsticks). It is one of the finishing touches that complete an overall   makeup look.  It is also one of my first make up item way back in high school. As with me, I can say that I can go on without blush on but never without a lipstick.

I always think that one of my asset is my lips.

But as I grew older (not that old anyway, lol!), I can say that I also grew tired of wearing lipstick day in and day out from work. I frequently glide it and re-apply  on my lips at an average of  3-5 times at work because I need  to look  absolutely presentable.

Hmmm... Unboxing the magic!

Just this month, I want to give myself a break on my lippies and try something that is light weight, simple and naturally looking yet still creates a fabulous look that compliments my makeup. So then I tried out Magic Tink Tint PIXIGlow from my April Glamour Box.

Just for an overall look at it.

At first it feels awkward to try it out because it looks like a jumbo crayon and fits just for little kids. But after reading some reviews about it from satisfied customers, it convinced me to prove it for myself.

So now, I will have my own 🙂 SMILEY 🙂 and 😦 SAD FACE :( verdict to it…

🙂 SMILEY 🙂

It's effect...

It’s effect…

The jumbo crayon. lol! It's a lip tint.

🙂 “Packaging in its finest!”  As I said, it looks like a jumbo pastel green crayon yet it is so appealing with its pink details. It’s box reminds me of Tinkerbell  and made my little sister fell inlove to it in a snap.

🙂 Its smooth texture and menthol scent makes me addicted to it. Its balsamic feature makes me want it more.

the one in the upper portion is the first effect of the tint while the two pink lines at the lower portion is the a longer effect.

🙂 At first glide, you may notice that it is barely anything. No tint, no gloss- nothing. Yet, don’t be too judgmental! Just wait for seconds and… Tadaaannn! The pink gloss will appear and create an outstanding natural look. “It’s a magic!” according to my little sister.

Naturally pinkish in color.

As it lasts longer it becomes more pigmented.

🙂 As it last longer when applied, the pinkish tint becomes stronger. It doesn’t fade easily even after drinking or eating. Love! ❤

This is how it looks now. I used it for a month already!

The base of it can be twisted just like an ordinary lipstick. Now it's longer!

🙂 At first, I thought it is just a small gloss but accidentally, rotating the base of it made me discover that I can use it longer. Yippeee!

😦 SAD FACE 😦

😦 Just to be fair, I think it lacks one thing- the moisturizing effect which will make it perfectly irresistible. In my case, I have overly dry lips because of the weather here in the Philippines but as to make my lips appear smooth, what I usually do before applying the tint on my lips is to put a lip balm to it so everything will look perfect. 🙂

A before(L) and after(R) shot won't hurt :) I put a lip balm to it as a primer.

My little sissy going equally crazy about it.

I recommend you my dear sweeties to hide this awesome item in a place that your little girls will not be able to reach or see (not of being selfish) because as with my little sister, she became fascinated about it that she wants to have it as her own. I don’t know some restrictions of using it to children but it is safer not to let them play with it nor use it as frequent.

Lipstick no more!

Lipstick no more!

“Looks can deceive. “ This jumbo crayon like lip tint is absolutely lovable! It creates a naturally pinkish look on my lips that lipsticks cannot do. It reminds me of Tinkerbell’s Magic! (Oh, going back to my childhood days again!)

Now, I can have my make up done without an over powering lipstick, as I have Magic Tink Tint on my pocket. Wooohh! Two thumbs up for this product!

Any comments to make my lips smooth and moisturized? Comment on to help me out. Thanks sweeties!

My Review on MAC Pink Nouveau (Satin)

Standard

Beginner’s luck.

That’s what was my first thought when I won an online contest hosted by a professional make up artist named Jackie. The contest was named as “Baby Me!” where in you need to post a picture which features 4 different looks of the contestant (smile, no smile, half-smile and wacky pose). Below was my entry.

Never thought that this entry could take home the prize. Other entries are equally nice.

Never thought that this entry could take home the prize. I must say that the other entries are equally nice.

It was the first online contest where I had the courage to submit an entry (I’m always the shy type.) That entry gathered most like from the facebook community (I guess, my FB friends were just extra supportive because they know how I am eyeing for the prize.) What was the prize? A Mac Lipstick in Pink Nouveau (Satin)… Who doesn’t what that right? So there, I was the lucky one and I was also able to have a free make-over from Jackie as well (Yehey!). She’s really nice to start with (we even have a chit-chats over her late lunch) and very professional in make up artistry (my before and after photos can attest to that) plus!!! She’s also very pretty ^_^ You can visit her page and see how Jackie’s touch can make different women look fabulous.

Jackie and me :)

My narcissism side attacked after my make over session.

It is my first MAC product because I always find MAC too expensive. Anyways, after three months of using my ever cherished prize, I must say that I find the product really great! Feels like I want to empty the whole tube (hehhehehe…) It’s my favorite among my lipstick collection. It is because the lipstick’s color is not too bold nor  too light. It can be worn in various occasions, morning or evening 🙂 Actually, I use it almost every day at work and no worries that my my supervisors will call my attention because it’s not that too loud 🙂 (talking about dress code… hehhehehe… quite conservative right?) I highly recommend this shade for those who doesn’t want to try bold shades of lippies. This color is cute and preppy.

This is how my Mac lipstick looks like now. ^_^ As they say, "gamit na gamit."

🙂 Just lovin’ it and I’m surely to take another pick of Mac’s lipstick soon 🙂 I can say that its price is really worth it! Any suggestion of lipstick shade that I can try? As you can see, I have a morena skin. I hope to read from you.
