Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack: Vivid Scarlet & Virgin Red


Ordered these online. There was a period of time where they are all the lip products I will see. Saw some other ones too but I think I'll just thy these first. The reviews sound convincing. It's available in plenty of colours. 


Picture taken from the web. Have just realised that my colours are the new ones! Great choice Berrisom. I've since ordered more for Angela and Xiu. Angela said she's afraid of the colour and smell? I hope you're reading this and you've given them another try because I think they're are pretty amazing. 




Normal plastic applicator. This can get messy and you can draw out of line if you don't have a steady hand. Jan kept saying she doesn't like it. Me neither but I can still work with that. Using a lip brush will probably help but I'm too lazy to clean it off afterwards.


It looks a little scary after application. But the colour fades off real nice. Best thing about this is that it'ts long lasting and you don't feel like there's a layer of lipstick caking on ur lips. You can apply gloss or balm on top of this tint and it looks fine and won't rub it off like the other long lasting  lipnicure I've tried.



I usually just smack my lips together and if they are really dry, both sides will stick onto each other and I just have to peel once. Better to only peel once they are really dry or there will probably be some patchy spots. It will be hard to fix later on and you need to allocate more time to wait for it to dry - aint nobody got time fo dat! (double negative = positive? hahah)


Peel peel peel. Usually after I finished peeling I will dab a wet tissue on my lips. They taste really nasty - well not exactly nasty but you have this feeling that you are licking strong chemicals. At this point of time I really don't mind putting these on once in a while but maybe I will have to review the makeups I use once I'm married and am trying to conceive. The amount of chemicals we are digesting and applying on our skin would be a massive shocker if we know the data. 


After 3-5 minutes or once it's dry, peel it off. This is what you get. Tint-ish matte colour. They last super long. When I have these on before I leave the house, I won't bring it with me for reapplication. You won't be able to top this up in public anyway since it takes time to dry. I usually just bring my Chachatint to top up if it fades off a little. Or balm, since you will feel like you have nothing on.



This is with makeup remover and after vigorous scrubbing. Usually when I try to remove immediately after I've applied it (cos I want to try other colour or I think I can line my lips better), it won't come off easily especially only with micellar lotion. 



Colour feels more reddish than orange. 



Both pictures are with Vivid Scarlet. Second picture looks duller because of the lighting. Virgin Red looks like dark red on me. I find myself using Vivid Scarlet very often. 


Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack
#Vivid Scarlet 
#Virgin Red

Pros:
Super long lasting.
Does not flake off because there isn't a layer of gunk on the lips.
It will look ok even if you have rough lined lips. 
Will wear off a little after a very long time, oily food doesn't really affect unless you scrub your lips like mad after your meal.

Cons:
Need to wait for a good 3-5minutes before it dries, depends on how thick you apply the layer.
Strong taste - I don't purposely lick it but after application and the peeling when I wet my lips, the chemical taste is strong. 
I use plenty of this so I think it will run out pretty fast.
Applicator is not very user friendly.

Lime Crime Velvetines: Riot







So finally Jan helped us order the second batch of Velvetines. This time round I got Riot. Picture is taken from Lime Crime website. Initially I wanted to order also Wicked but luckily I didn't since Red Velvet already looked pretty much like what I think Wicked will look like on my lips. Wanted to order Bleached which is one of the 3 new shades they have but the order was placed a day earlier than the release date. #lesigh. Oh well.. Next round then.





This is what it looks like on my skin. It looks okay but it dulls my complexion. I suit brighter colour much better. The colour feels even darker after the hours tick by. Im just probably not used to darker colour. Makes me look emo/fierce. The next colour I will get is Bleached. It feels like a lighter version of Riot which I think will suit my skin much better. I wanted a pinkish/more neutral colour and I have a feeling Bleached will be the perfect fit for me.

Pros
Long lasting, non removable after you've applied them but after a long day, you can remove it with even micellar lotion.
Velvety finish, will not sit well if you have very cracked lips but it's much less drying than other similar types. 


Cons
This shade is more suitable for lighter complexion or less pigmented lips.
Wears off at certain spots on your lips after a meal especially when you eat very oily food or you rub them vigorously right after.  


Review for the other Velvetines shades I've tried are here:



Wearing Red Velvet here. So different from Riot. Learning to embrace this in your face puta-red colour hahahah.

Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow



Finally ordered these online. It came in 3 colours. I avoided the lightest colour since my hair is black and I'll look like I'm crazy if I use the light brown colour - brunette wannabe much.


Picture taken from the web. Currently watching the drama Producer and this model looks like one of the actresses hahah.. Maybe she's the person. Her eyebrows look very well drawn here. I think I should draw mine a little thicker. Bushier look is not too bad.. 





Mascara eyebrow attached at the other end. This brush is a little different from the usual mascara brush. One side is flatter. Probably it's because you only use one side to brush anyway? Hahaha I have no clue. Feels weird initially because sometimes I might use the flat type to brush so I need to make sure I use the right side up. They pick up a lot of gunk from the pot. So you have to brush slowly. Unlike the other eyebrow mascara I've tried, they all seem to pick up a lot only when you start using and subsequently kind of dry up a little - which is fine with me because I don't like wiping off the excess on my brows. I have used this for a few times and they are still thick. It's supposed to be good I suppose for those who need a lot of top ups from the mascara.


Pen tip is like a marker. Not like the other soft felt tip kind. These are not too bad and they don't make a huge difference compared to the others. I have no preference between the two. They both work just fine.


#1 Earth Brown on the left and #3 Dark Brown on the right. The colour doesn't seem to differ much but off camera it's noticeable. I will probably just pick out one colour when I need to refill next time. The tint colour doesn't build up that much. First line to third line from the top are the number of strokes I've applied them with. 


This is the rub test with after I've sprayed it with water. It's pretty long lasting. It does rub off but only when you put in a little effort. You can probably wear this to swim. I have yet to try that but I think I will soon and update again. The eyebrow mascara is liquidy so be careful upon application. Little bit goes a long way. 


Using #3 Dark Brown here. Colour fits my hair. Not too light and not too dark. When you have make up on, the other make up items you use seem to fall in place just fine.


Using #1 Earth Brown here. Doesn't look much lighter than the darker colour. But there is a difference off camera. Personally I dont mind both colour. It's not too light for my hair. One thing I've noticed is sometimes after I remove my make up, the next morning I will notice a little residue on my brows which... I'm still wondering if it's the leftover from this tint or did my brows grow thicker finally? Hahahaha I hope it's the latter.



Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow
#1 Earth Brown
#3 Dark Brown

Pros
One set as the eyebrow mascara so you don't need to carry an extra item.
Pretty long lasting.
Easy to apply.


Cons
Size is huge compared to the normal eyebrow tint.
There's a tendency to over apply the eyebrow mascara.


Here are the reviews for the other eyebrow tint I've tried:

Boracay here we are! Last Day!




Our last day here in Boracay! Cant wait to go home and also feeling a little reluctant to leave. It's been too many days but I know I will miss it terribly once Im home. Woke up slightly later cos Ive kept my sand shoes and all the bikinis. All packed up and ready to go. We just walked outside the resort and took as many pictures as we could. Selfies for the next 30mins or so hahahah.







Picture of our Resort signboard. I think we took this the day before. Our room is few huts away from this sign which is directly at the entrance from the beach. 



Amy said we should pack our lunch from the resto before we leave for the airport since there might not be anything to eat at the airport. We got some sandwiches to go and waited for the guy to pick us up at the resort. So here we go again, hours of bus ride which is pretty confusing since we had to find the right ferry to board and also the right bus to board. Don't wanna go somewhere else than the airport yo. So glad I had them with me. Some people boarded the wrong bus. I don't know what happened to them. Bus ride to the airport felt slightly faster than arrival day but I doubt it really is. One toilet stop and on our way to the airport. Airport was crowded and chaotic. No clear signs to where is the immigration lane and which is the other lanes to get other passes. I think they had to pay some OFW pass or something like that. 



We had mango shake again. I will miss that sugary goo. Finally I get to use my TooFaced Melted instead of the bright red Urban Decay lip liner. No choice, it was my only waterproof lip colour. 


Finally a shot of all our 3 bracelets. Amy got the horse one since that's her chinese zodiac, and then it hit me... why didn't she get a seahorse instead. We were like OH YEAHHH.... #facepalm. Well too late for that hahahha.. 


Probably the only pop up shop at the Kalibo airport hahahah.. 











Summary of our whole trip. I'm so addicted to doing collages. Trip was fun. Can't wait for the next one where I get to molest some whale sharks in Bohol? Waahoo.
