Review: Nichido Juicy Lips Lipstick

Products information:
- Nichido Juicy Lips Lipstick
- has 6 shades Champagne, Tangerine Pop, Raspberry Float, Berry Freeze, Apple Cider, Hawaiian Punch (NO RED SHADE)
- Contains 4g of product
- Glossy / Satin finish
- Very affordable @ only Php88
- Made in The Philippines

First, I will talk about the packaging. I really love the packaging not only for its color but also for the simplicity of it. It's a very eye-catching color for those girly girls like me who loves the color pink. I also love that the product completely retracts back inside the tube. It prevents you from accidentally breaking or scratching the top part of the lipstick when you put back the cover.

The shades of the lipstick are very neutral and very teen friendly. They are also perfect for everyday and simple makeup looks. I can say they have perfectly wearable shades. The smell is a plus as well. It has a hint of sweet scent that is not overwhelming at all and completely disappears after you've applied it on your lips.

It feels very light and moisturizing when applied and it glides on smoothly. In my experience with this product, It is very moisturizing and it did not cause my lips to dry and chap. But I had to reapply the product every 2 hours because it turns matte after a while. But when I removed it, It actually made my lips softer.

Considering its price (Php88.00), This is actually a really great product.
This can be found all around the Philippines at any SM Department Stores, Robinsons Department Stores and Watsons.

BUsy Busy Busy

Oh my gosh. I feel like I have not been able to blog for ages. I was just too busy with editing videos and preparing my little boy for school again and also my hubby for work. I used up all my free time to film and edit videos for my Youtube channel.

Anywayzzzzzzzz. I just want to update my blog today. Here are my videos that has been taking up all my time. I just edited and uploaded a few new videos on my channel and almost all of it are about skincare and makeup.


In this video, I did a makeup tutorial using silver and black eyeshadow and very light face and lip makeup.
I just called this my "Silver Smokey Makeup Tutorial | berrypink23".....
If you would like to learn how to recreate this makeup look, Please watch this video. :)

Now I was tagged my BlendBlush, One of the Filipina Beauty guru's that I am following. The tag is called the
                                                             "40 Beauty Questions Tag"

I also made a new "HAUL" video because I went to some stores and bought some beauty and skincare products for myself. This is for the whole month of may and then on the first week of june. Watch this :)

And the last video that I made was my current "Foundation Routine" and also a quick mini haul is included in the Video because again, I bought some stuff and it was after I did the haul video so I didn't get the chance to include the new stuff I got on my last haul.

So that s all the videos I've uploaded since I last posted a blog. I know, there's not a lot of videos but It takes a lot of time to film and edit these even though you will just watch it for a few minutes. Well I still hope you enjoy these videos and maybe learn something from them.

REVIEW: Fashion 21 Fine Blush Powder (mineral-based)

Fashion 21 Fine Blush Powder (mineral-based)

Enrich your skin with the Fine Blush Powder made with only the purest, softest minerals. It gives natural smooth coverage while giving you natural glowing skin. Gentle for all skin types.

First of all, This is the first time that I bought and used a Fashion 21 product. This Fine Blush Powder from fashion 21 comes with a built in blush brush that collects powder from the inside of the container and transfer it to the cheeks evenly and it even has a small round mirror on top. I love the look of the packaging and the fact that this has it's own brush already built in. I can easily slip this in my bag and I don't even need to bring a brush. Although I must say that the brush is not very soft. It's a little scratchy but still tolerable.

I got the no. 7 shade which looks like a light orange coral tone that looks very natural when applied on my cheeks. It has very tiny gold shimmers that gives a natural glow on my face. Perfect for everyday look. This did not cause me any breakouts or allergic reactions, BUT......

The only thing that concerns me about this products is that this contains parabens. Paraben is widely used by cosmetics companies because this preserves their cosmetic products giving it longer lifespan. I read that parabens are found present in the breast tissue of some breast cancer patients. They say that it was proven that it penetrates the skin and can be found in the blood just a few minutes after application. Scary right?! But I think a lot of cosmetic products has paraben and I've never heard of makeup with paraben being one of the main source of breast cancer. So I think I'm still going to be using this blush because it works really well and gives natural color to my cheeks.

Pros:
- Handy
- Easy to use
- Very nice pigmentation on the cheeks
- The powder itself smells kind of nice
- I like the packaging
- Can easily be found on local drugstores and department stores
- Affordable for only P155

Cons:
- The brush is not very soft but tolerable
- Doesn't stay too long on my face(maybe because I'm sweaty and I always wipe sweat of my face)
- Paraben is present in the ingredients

Will I buy this product again?????
Maybe or maybe not. I can't really decide for now whether I am going to be buying more of this or not because I love a lot of things about it yet the only bad thing about it (paraben) really bothers me. If it happens that they remove paraben in the ingredients I will surely buy more of this, all shades because I really love this product.
