Loreal Color Riche Matte in 244, 206, 212 and 249 Review + Swatches

Whenever I look for products in a beauty corner, Loreal products will never be out of my sight. Loreal indeed resonated its name in the market for years. They also have their lipstick which we're going to review today.

LOREAL COLOR RICHE MATTE is the name of the line and if you love shades pink to purple, you'll surely love this. I have 4 shades available and I'll show you swatches and thoughts of these lipsticks. I bought these lipsticks for Php 350.00 each at Watsons.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Luxurious Mattes in a Swipe

Moisturized, creamy texture in our smoothest glide

1) Luxurious application: Gives the most luscious experience with its Jojoba oil component for a smooth glide

2) Lasting Rich Matte Color: Made of spherical powders to fill in and conceal lip lines for the full color in a swipe for up to 6 hrs

3) Comfortable Everyday Wear: Made from light scattering gel to give the pleasant lightweight feel without drying the lips

The packaging of this lipstick is pretty lux. The combination of the leather looking design plus gold blended so well in my sight. 

In terms of scent, there's quite a fragrance but it smells good and it will just fade away after being applied on the lips.

Here are the overall swatches of the lipsticks...

Now, let's dive into each swatch!

1. SOFT VIOLET (244)

2. GLAMOUR FUCHSIA (206)

3. RED VALENTINE (212)

4. DRESS UP PINK (249)

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

In just one swipe, this lipstick already caters my lips and its pigmented- I don't need to add more stroke on my lips for one stroke is enough. It glided so smooth on my lips and it made my lip lines almost unnoticeable which is very surprising. 

It's also comfortable to wear and it's so light on the lips. It has a velvet matte finish. Although it's a matte lipstick it doesn't make my lips dry, instead, it made my lips smooth. I presume it's because of the Jojoba oil that they added to the formulation.

The price is not as budget-friendly as other brands but it's a reasonable price for this line. 

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

What I found unlikely with this product is it's not kissed proof. It's not really like the other matte available elsewhere-- it's a demi-matte.

It's not that long-lasting as well especially if eating is involved. But the faded lipstick on the lipstick doesn't look bad anyway. It will still give a nice fade on your lips.

VERDICT

Moreover, I may find unlikely about this line but it doesn't affect the overall performance of the product for this product delivers a superb performance. I highly recommend this product to those lipstick lovers out there who wants to have a velvet finish matte on their lips.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope this review helps!

Ever Bilena Lip and Cheek Roller in Uptown Red Review

Ever Bilena is one of the top brands in the Philippines in terms of beauty products. No wonder, whenever it releases a new line of products, beauty lovers will surely run to the nearest EB store without another word. 

Ever Bilena also never settle to be left behind. As the trend of lip stains or lip tints rise in the market, EB made their line of lip stain for the consumers to try. Moreover, I presume that you already heard about Ever Bilena Lip and Cheek Roller. I honestly heard a lot of good reviews about it. But of course, to attest that it's really good, I gave it a try-- to see is to believe as they say. Is the roller worth the hype? 

With the roller in mind, I went to Watsons and bought Ever Bilena Lip and Cheek Roller in Uptown Red for Php 130.00. I chose this shade because I love lip tints with a reddish-orange color. Without further ado, let's move on to the review.

Here's a swatch of the product...

The stain is water-based and it doesn't have a stingy smell. The smell is almost unnoticeable but that's fine-- the smell is never the deal here but the product itself. 

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

At first, I was hesitant about this product since it's water-based and it might look patchy on my lips. Howbeit, as I try it out on my lips, I was surprised that it could cater to color my lips even on the upper part, it's not patchy and it's pigmented. It could also glide easily on the lips; so easy to apply. Unlike other stains, the roller of this product glides smoothly even weeks or I presume months of using it.

This roller doesn't have a bitter taste unlike other brands and it's comfortable to wear even when it dries-- it's also transfer-proof. 

I also love that this product is budget-friendly and paraben-free.

This stain is also long-lasting easily if you're not eating watery or oily food too much, hence it will easily be erased.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

One thing that I find unpleasant with this product is when I apply it on my cheeks. Honestly, I love to try the blush look effect which is very hyped on social media, however, this roller tends to look patchy on my checks as it dries easily.

Since it dries easily on cheeks, what I did is I grab cotton, put a small amount of water on it, glide the roller on top and apply it on my cheeks. This works if the stain easily gets dry. You may try it as well. (You're welcome)

VERDICT

Just like other products, this stain has its good sides and downsides. Howbeit, it has more positive sides that I experienced while using this product so I gave this a thumbs up. Will I recommend this? Yes, I would recommend this product to those who wanted to have a budget-friendly lip and cheek roller which is paraben-free. 

I hope this review helps. Thank you so much for reading!

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

So far, this lotion doesn't give me a hard time and it always surprise me with its wondrous effect. I will surely recommend this to anyone who'd like to moisturize their skin. Again, this is not a whitening lotion and merely focuses on making the skin smooth and soft.

No Brainer Tips on Using Betadine for Pimples | Is it Effective?

Betadine, also known as Povidone Iodine, is a 10% solution used to disinfect wound to avoid irritation and to heal the wound fast. It is a non-irritating antiseptic which works by releasing iodine to the skin to kill bacteria, fungi and even viruses around the skin surface. 

I know this may sound weird, but Betadine might just be the miracle solution to help eliminate the annoying pimples on your face. 

Betadine price may vary depending on the mL that you'll buy. It may vary from Php 60.00 to 200+.

I, myself, have experienced breakouts and I can't deny the fact that it's uncomfortable seeing those red bumps on the face and it could lessen our self confidence. It's also a bit painful sometimes.

That's when I saw this Betadine in our First Aid Kit and wonder if it might help in my pimple problem. I've been using Betadine for a couple of months now whenever I notice pimple again on my face. I even influence one of my colleagues to try this and it's also helping her pimple problem.

How to apply Betadine on pimples?

Wash your face first and hands first. It's important not to defeat the purpose of getting rid the bacteria. Next step is to use a clean cotton and put the Betadine solution in it. Then dab the Betadine around your pimples which are bothering you. Lastly, leave it overnight. 

Do the same process in the morning or at night depending on your preference. 

The Betadine solution will help in healing the infection on the surface, allowing the pimples to heal without leaving a scar.

Tip: Never pop your pimples for it has thousands of bacteria inside and it might lead to further problems if you allow those bacterias to set in your skin. It could even leave a scar if you do.

Due to prolonged using of my phone, I've experienced dry eyes which is very much uncomfortable. I can't concentrate doing my daily tasks for my eyes keep on distracting me.

Having dry eyes is never easy. It's like there's a foreign object in your eyes that you'd like to eliminate but you can't. The dryness of my eyes is like a soil being exposed to too much sunlight. I can't deny the fact that I regret on abusing my eyes and not taking proper care of it. 

With my negligence, I had this consequence that I need treat and deal with. That's when I bought EYEMO MOISTURIZING FORMULA in the pharmacy. The price is about Php 100+. Each bottle contains 7.5 mL of formula and it has a flowy liquid type of drops, not the gel type.

GT BRIGHTENING C+ WITH GLUTATHIONE DAILY SUN CARE REVIEW | PARABEN FREE

We all know that sunscreen is very much helpful during summer season or when the temperature is pretty high. Howbeit, we should be aware that wearing sunscreen specially on the face is a year-round necessity for us to be protected from the harmful rays of the sun; so finding the best sunscreen in town is a must.

While I was on Watsons last time, I saw this sunscreen which has very much interesting claims...

"A whitening facial sunscreen cream that contains Vitamin C; Glutathione and SPF70 that protects and shields skin from UVA and UVB. Specially formulated to help make skin feel powdery and less oily."

-Helps to lighten skin

-Has SPF70

-Minimizes pore visibility

-Paraben Free

-Contains Vitamin C and Glutathione

With its promising statement, I gave it a try. It's the GT BRIGHTENING C+ WITH GLUTATHIONE DAILY SUN CARE. I bought it at Watsons with a price of Php 255.00-- 30 mL per bottle. 

PRODUCT USAGE

Apply GT Brightening C+ Daily SUn Care on your face and neck at least 30 minutes before sun expsoure. For best results; apply every 80 minutes when doing outdoor activities.

With its cream, here's how it looks like...

The cream has a light brown color. It's a little bit flowy and has a very good smell. Without further ado, let me share to you my experience about this product and why I say that it's the best.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

First thing that I love about this product is the thought that it's paraben free. We all know that added paraben on beauty products or even on sunscreens is not good in our skin. Then you might be wondering what paraben is?

According to a Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, Tom Oliver, he explained that parabens allow products to survive for months, even years, in our bathroom cabinet; however when you use these products, they can also enter your body through your skin. 

So we must check the label always before buying a product. 

The next thing that I love about this product is how lightweight it is on the skin. Basically, this sunscreen has the power go minimize the pores and it indeed works without adding too much coverage on the skin; it gives a natural glowing look. I also love the instant white that it gives.

With its flowy texture, it could easily blend on the skin. The price is also pretty reasonable since you don't need to apply a lot of cream on your face-- a little amount of cream would do to your face. It's not also sticky on the face. 

I also love that it has a high SPF; it's SPF 70. High amount of SPF which could protect our skin to sun exposure and it has Vitamin C which is good to the skin. I've also noticed that my face kinda glow a bit after a couple of months.

Based from my experience as well, when we were in Palawan last time, this sunscreen helped a lot for I haven't burnt thag bad after exposing to the scorching heat of the sun. I just applied it every 2 hours.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

I haven't had any issues about the product as for my usage aside from it could take about 3-4 minutes to set but after it sets, it's pretty pleasing on the face. And if there's one thing that I could say is with this product, I hope it has a sachet for those who'd like to try it before upgrading to the bigger one. But it's not a big deal though for the product is very worth the price already.

VERDICT

Choosing the best sunscreen is indeed hard, but this sunscreen is by far, my recommended sunscreen for it is not only promising but it delivers the best result.

Treat Eyestrain Fast With These 6 Easy Steps

I've been soaking myself on my cellphone the moment quarantine has started. I never really get busy with other things other than my phone. I even played a simulation game for straight 10 hours. I'm guilty of being so abusive with my eyes and I regret doing it. 

After experiencing the consequences of my bad doing, I then started caring for my eyes. 

Photo by Dhyamis Kleber from Pexels

The next day after the 10-hour soak of my eyes on my phone, my eyes felt the following:

1. Blurry Vision

This is the first sign that I felt when I realize that something is wrong with my eyes. Whenever I try to look at a distance, it's not clear. The vividness of the details is blurry even some of the near objects.

2. Eyes Hurt When I Blink

3. Dry Eyes

Dry eyes is so annoying. It seems like there's a foreign object inside the eyes even though there's not.

Dry Eyes is the result of not having enough tears to lubricate the eyes. Sometimes it's due to the blockage of the oil in the tear passage and sometimes it's because the tears evaporate so fast due to too much concentrating without even blinking or due tp the surrounding temperature.

4. Having a Hard Time Concentrating

So those are the symptoms I encountered while having eyestrain. Now, how did I cure it?

Well, looking for ways to treat it has been my top priority since I can't do my daily tasks because of it. So here are the things I did to treat my eyestrain:

1. Avoid Using Gadgets

The first thing I did to treat eyestrain was to avoid the root of it. I know it's hard at first since I get used on using my phone in a day-to-day basis. Howbeit, I instilled in mind that if I want to get cured, avoiding my phone for the meantime is best thing to do.

2. Eye Exercise

There are a lot of eyes exercise available on Youtube on Eyestrain or Dry Eyes that I tried to ease the symptoms of it. Try to look for them for they're truly helpful.

3. Warm Compress

After the eye exercise, what I did is I put a warm compress on the eyes. Warm compress will help, swear! 

4. Eye Drops

I even used EyeMo Eyedrops, the blue one, as it could help in lubricating the eyes. It even gave a refreshing feeling on my eyes. I used it 2 to 3 times a day. I forgot the exact price of EyeMo but it's about Php 100+.

Read: EyeMo Moisturizing Formula Review

5. Hydrate Yourself

I read an article wherein water will help in hydrating the eyes and gives high quality tears. I admit this was hard for me to try at first, for I'm not a water drinker, but with constant motivation and eagerness to get cured, I drink 8 glasses for 1 week.

6. 20, 20, 20

It may be weird but there's a meaning of the 3 20's.

-Break every 20 minutes

-Focus an object which is atleast 20 feet 

-Focus on that object for 20 seconds

So, after doing all of these things for a week. I relieve the symptoms of eyestrain and I felt so great again. Now, I learned my lesson.

Just a piece of advice to anyone who's into soaking with their phones too much, do try to take breaks and drink a lot of water-- your eyes will thank you for that. 

That's it for today! I hope you're eyestrain will be treated soon of you have one. Just follow the steps above; proven and tested I tell you. Thank you for reading!

CANDY BABY LIP AND CHEEK STAINS IN LUSCIOUS LUCY + Swatch

I'm so inlove with lip tints. They're like heaven for giving that natural look on the lips. With their popping colors, I can't help but be a fan of them. Organic tints are also plus. 

I've been using lip tints these days, three of different brands actually and I use them in alternate. One of the lip tints I'm currently using is the CANDY BABY LIP AND CHEEK STAINS IN LUSCIOUS LUCY. I bought this for Php 50.00 online. I just saw a post about this one of Facebook and thought why not give it a try.

Php 50.00 (10 mL)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

"CANDY BABY " Lip and Cheek Stains

-10ml 

-100% Organic

-Gel Based

-All natural ingredients (w/vit.E)

-Proven Long wearing and non-drying

-No bitter taste

-Highly pigmented

-Fruity scent and taste

-Natural looking and smudge proof

-Safe for kids, pregnant and lactating moms

-100% organic and safe

Here's a swatch of the liptint...

It's not actually like the usual tints for this tint is gel-based. 

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

The first thing that I like about this product is the thought that it's organic. I always make sure that what I'm using on my lips is organic to avoid harsh chemicals to touch my lips. So, a big thumbs up for it. 

I also love how pigmented this lip stain is. I love how natural wearing this tint is. For instance, if you wear it, it seems like it's a natural lip color. You just need to balance the color and you'll end up looking great.

I actually like that it's long wearing on the lips. Yes it is, I tell you. It may not last like 24 hours but it could last on your lips like for long; depending if you eat a lot of oily or watery food and all.

I also love its smell. It's like the candy juice I used to drink when I was young. I also love its color, it's like the Korean trend lip tint color plus it's budget friendly.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

This product is also a cheek tint but I rarely use it as a cheek tint for it set so instant. For example, if your glide it on your cheek and you'll not blend it directly, it will leave a mark which is kind of unpleasing. And it would be hard to remove for it's pigmented. 

Sometimes, I also feel like my lips is a bit drying. But I'm not blaming the tint for it because I feel like I don't drink much water whenever I feel like my lips is dry. 

So far, that's the unlikely things I quite don't like about this product but overall I so love it.

VERDICT

Based from my experience, I so love this lip tint for I tend to use it almost everyday. I apply less often when I use it for it's long wearing. Will I recommend this product? Definitely. I so love this tint and you might as well like it. If you want a budget friendly, pigmented tint which could give you a natural looking lips, then try it. 

Note: There are other shades of this lip tint to try.

That's it for this review. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you get an idea on how this product works.
