Product: ORALABS Balm is LOVE! + Small gift haul from HK

My friends got back from Hong Kong last month and they gave me these goodies which I forgot at that time to brag about to you guys hahahahaha XD

I got some sunscreen and lipbalm from Sasa. The former I paid for coz my stocks of this precious sunscreen is running out and the latter is given to me as a souvenir gift. I also got some nice chopsticks that I can use! And some official looking keychain and a handful of chocolates!

Felt really happy!

More importantly, I think I finally found the lipbalm I've wanted my whole life! OraLabs Essential Lip Naturals SPF 15 in Cherry.

I used this and there was no hair sticking on my lip like there's no tomorrow. UGH I hate feeling that in my previous lipbalms, hair is disgusting so I don't want that near my mouth. It's a wonderful hard and waxy balm that keeps my lips moisturized even in the dry, cold office room. This balm is cherry scented too!

I now officially use this everyday since I got it.

Well, that's all. Really short post just to thank my co-worker friends!

Thanks for reading, I'm kinda sleepy now ZZZzzz...

Etude House in Davao

Sorry for dropping in and out erratically but I've been surprisingly busy because of work, travel, school and moving!

Even though I've been a bit busy I made sure to drop by the new ETUDE HOUSE in Abreeza Ayala Mall! I was so excited when they announced that they would be opening in June 10, but then the opening got move to June 16! It was a bit frustrating for me and my friends but it was alright since we were given more time to save money :)

I must say that I LOVE Etude House! And I just came to post some good cheers about the new products I bought.

Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in Deep Black is something that I've always wanted to come by but the Liese Hair color, which basically is almost the same with the EH Bubble, is incredibly pricey. Around P600-900 price range. But this EH Bubble Color is a great steal around P320.00 which I got at P300 because there was an opening sale going on!
And here is the end result after coloring it a day before: (Excuse Greencross behind me, he likes to photobomb a LOT. You will see more of him later XD )

You can see how the color is indeed, a deep black! But IRL it looks a lot more natural! I've grown so tired of my highlighted hair... I have naturally dark brown hair, and the colored highlights made it even browner. As much as I love the brown color, seeing it day in and day out on the mirror is tiring. So I took the chance to do some DIY Hair color! See this before and after pic:


Another product I love is the Dear Darling Tint still from Etude House

I'm pretty used to lipsticks, especially matte ones, to bring a slight hint of color to my lips, but I tend to stay away from gloss because it makes me feel like I ate something greasy! I tend to do lip balms instead to moisturize. But since getting the Dear Darling Tint, I've no problem of swiping the gloss at all! In fact, it dries up fast without chapping my lips. The color is also super nice, because it's so light and so natural.

Before :((( Pouting because I my lips are bare.

Below is also the before and after! You can see the slight pop of color the tint brings! I think you can also enlarge this to see better. (Greencross is now accompanied by my friend, Chloe! XDD They really like photobombs.)

Goofing off!!!! Sorry my face looks really stupid XD

I also got some small things like 5pcs of sheet masks in various flavors but I really don't have the time to rest :( It's sad really...

Have to drop out now and gotta grab a quick lunch and go back to work! :(

In2it Moisture Release Lipstick in Flame

ME, IN A RED LIPSTICK?!
I needed a little oomph in the lipstick department so I went around to look for a nice shade. I already have pinks and peaches so I would like some deep red color just because.

I got In2it's Moisture Release lipstick in Flame from a department store. I tried it out with the tester and I was astounded at the pigmentation. It was flaming red like I've never seen before. I'm too used to the pinks and peaches. I was doubting if I should take it because it costs around P420.00 something and I can only use it sparingly or during special occasions.



You can see how really red it is. It's totally seriously red. But what I like best about this is that it is wonderfully moisturizing and doesn't create cracks or make the lines of my lips prominent like other lipstick seem to do (I like Nyx but it shows the lines on application.)

It glides easily and a single swipe has a lot of color already. Its not hard to apply. Its a great line to try out for those who like lipsticks but are suffering from chappy lips.



It looks a little orangey here don't you think? Maybe its the afternoon sunshine.

Thanks for reading! :)
