REVIEW | Sleek Makeup - Pout Polish SPF 15 Tinted Lip Conditioner

A while back, I purchased the Sleek MakeUp Pout Polish that I had been eyeing for quite a while. It normally costs $13, but due to the fact that I bought it when Luxola was having a 25% off sale, I got it for around $9.75. What a steal :D

The thing that first caught my attention when I stumbled upon the webpage, were the colors that the pout polish was available in. I had a such a surprise when it came xD I thought that it would be small and round, when in actual fact, it was flat and sleek. The Pout Polish/Tinted Lip Conditioner, was set in a palm sized looking pot and it just looked so endearing to me. It didn't look bulky like my Body Shop's lip balms, but instead, it looked really sleek like its name suggests!

The Pout Polish comes in various colors.


Perfect Plum


Pink Cadillac


Electro Peach


Chocolate Kiss


Peach Perfection

and,


Powder Pink

I am not sure if everyone feels the same way, but the various shades of pink makes me go all 'AWWW!! WANT WANT WANT!!!' while the other colors make me go 'Er...okay?' LOL

I bought the pout polish in Peach Perfection! It took me quite a while to decide which color to get. I was torn between Pink Cadillac, Peach Perfection and Powder Pink. It was a really difficult decision! ): They all looked so good! My friend Sarah, had to intervene because I was really taking a very long time to decide. She convinced me that Pink Cadillac wasn't my color because it was dark pink and it would only serve to darken my lips, while Powder Pink was too pale a pink and it would only serve to make me look sick and queer. So Peach Perfection it was! Pink with an orange tint/undertone.

When it arrived, I was really happy and excited to try it out. Some things that I like about this product is that it is

  • Highly pigmented
  • Built in with SPF15
  • A host of moisturizing oils
  • Able to stain your lips deeper than most glosses
  • Long lasting
Don't you just hate it when your lip products don't last long? You have to constantly excuse yourself to reapply it! So troublesome! D<

The product came exactly how I imagined it. Sweet, endearing, sleek and compact, along with the smell of Vanilla. Such a sweet smelling product.

Without flash :)

A few things that I noticed when using this product

  • It takes on the form of a cream
  • It is really smooth when you touch it
  • Glides onto lips smoothly
  • Not sticky to the touch
  • Nice pigmentation
  • Lasts for a fair bit (About 3-6 hours, depending on what you do)
  • If you do not rid your lips of dead skin before applying this product, you will end up with patchy and splotchy lips with flaky skin. YUCKS.
  • Lip balm is advised before usage of this product.
  • Lips have a slight tingly sensation 
  • The scent of Vanilla can get pretty overbearing
Well, overall, I am semi satisfied with this product. Though I don't feel extremely compelled to use this unlike when I first saw it.

I would rate this around a 7.5/10, because the fact that I have to use lip balm before I use this product. WHAT IF I AM IN A RUSH D< WHAT IF I RAN OUT OF LIP BALM AND LIP STICK AND I NEEDED TO USE THIS DESPERATELY HUH! The tingly sensation sort of gets to me as well. It doesn't cause my lips to itch or anything, but it just bugs me. You would too if your lips felt weird. The vanilla scent was probably the one that pulled my rating of 8.5 to a 7.5. I understand that you want your products to smell good, but I think you really went overboard with the scent for this. It can get pretty nauseating if you have to smell it constantly. The saving grace for this is probably the fact that it lasts long and you don't have to keep opening the container and smell that sweet scent. Is it just my pot being so sweet smelling? Anyone else has this problem too?

This product can be bought from HERE through Luxola! Enjoy shopping!

Thank you for reading! Have a happy day! :)

Cheers!

REVIEW | Watermelon, Sorbet & Pink Lemonade..YUM!

I really cannot be trusted to go out without buying anything.

I don't think its my fault though ): SUCHLIES.

It's the fault of all the makeup companies! They make such nice things and tempt me to buy them all ):

I finally bought the new shades of Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters! They had a few new flavors but I only managed to get three of them. The few shades that I have gotten are, Sorbet, Wild Watermelon and Pink Lemonade! I don't think Singapore brought in the others...I didn't see them.

I have always loved Revlon's lip butters because they are so hydrating, smooth and pigmented!


The lip butters~ so much love!!


From left to right : Pink Lemonade, Wild Watermelon, Sorbet

Here is each individual lip butter!


As you can see, Pink Lemonade is a nice soft shade of pink that is leaning towards the nude side. At first glance, it resembles the Strawberry Shortcake lip butter, but upon closer inspection, Pink Lemonade is a little darker! I think it really resembles Cotton Candy though eheheheh >D


This is Wild Watermelon! Its is a bright, vibrant shade of red that really makes people go 'WOW!!'. It resembles the Cherry Tart lip butter, except that this is brighter and less shimmery.


This is Sorbet! As you can see, the color of the lip butter resembles Fuschia. It may be considered pink, but its leaning more towards purple / bright pink. Like Wild Watermelon, the color also pops out at you. Its practically screaming 'LOOK AT ME!'


All the colors side by side! So pretty! See why I was so tempted by them?

Here are the swatches for them!

 Pink Lemonade!

Wild Watermelon!


Sorbet!!

I hope Revlon comes up with more new shades soon! :)

Cheers and Peace.

REVIEW | Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu Lip Balm

Yesterday night, I received a question asking 'What is your favourite lip balm?' , which was then followed by a request 'Can you do a review on it?'

Ahahaha, I really shouldn't be doing this now though. I should be studying really hard now, but I know that if I don't do this and hurry up and get it off my chest, I'll end up like this


Thats why I'm here now! xD

Lets start with the review!

You know how most girls want to be beautiful, and they can invest so much in products that benefit their faces and hair? Well, its sad to say that most of them, having focused on their hair and face and nails, end up neglecting their lips ): I'm guilty of that fact! Until one day, I looked in the mirror and !@#$%^&*()


WERE THOSE REALLY MY LIPS?! Oh gosh, they were dry, chapped and peeling. Yucks ):

I found out, that the skin on our lips are thin as compared to the skin that is covering our body. Unlike our skin however, our lips does not have glands to help keep them smooth and soft. That explains why our lips get chapped very easily when dry. Especially in a country like Singapore, where it can be said that summer occurs 365 days a year ):

No one wishes to have chapped lips like this right? ( I didn't want to post the picture x.x )

All of us females wish to have soft, smooth pouty lips like this right! 



Even if you don't want them, its okay, CAUSE I WANT THEM ):

So, its time to invest in a good lip balm if you haven't already got one!

I recommend this Mentholatum Mogitate Kajitsu Lip Balm! It is made with real, natural fruit juice and honey. Sounds yummy! :D The packaging also states that it is the No.1 lip balm in Japan, and that got me a little suspicious, because honestly, how many times have you seen products that claims that they are No. 1 in this aspect or that aspect yet they are not very good? I have seen it quite a few times sadly. Heres a picture of it 


Picture Credit to Deenise Glitz (I opened mine already oops :P )

However, it wasn't difficult to believe that this product clinched the No. 1 lip balm position after you give it a try! The moment that you twist the cap off, you are enveloped in the sweet natural smelling scent of fruits. There has been many times where I have been asked 'Are you eating candy?' by my friends when I am using this product. When you apply it onto your lips, unlike some other lip balms, it doesn't leave a sticky feeling that seems to make your lips stick together. I hate it when that happens =_=. Instead, it leaves your lips feeling soft, smooth and hydrated!

Here it is out of its packaging! 



Sorry for the grainy quality :<

This Mogitate Kajitsu Lip Balm comes in 5 different flavours, and they are 

  • Grape & Berry
  • Strawberry
  • Orange & Mango
  • White Peach
  • Lemon & Lime
I own this cute lip balm in Grape & Berry, as well as Strawberry and I love it too bits. While there have been many close contenders for the No. 1 favourite lip balm in my heart, this always comes out on top!

Here is a picture of them all!


SaSa sells them as well! :D I know that the packaging looks different from what I posted, but have no worries! The product inside is still one and the same!

I hope that I may have influenced some people to get this lip balm or change to this lip balm from this day on? :) Try it out and tell me what you think!

Now, its time for me to go back to my books sigh ):


Good bye and Cheers!
