Innisfree Lip Tint Mousse Review and Swatches ( #3 | #4 | #6 )

Korean cosmetics have really been coming up with a lot of good stuff and one of my favourite korean cosmetic brand is Innisfree. They pride themselves with beauty products and makeups with natural ingredients and no parabens and my sensitive skin doesn’t breakout on their products. They have a wide variety of products and today what I’m going to review is their Lip Tint Mousse.

These lip tint mousse is the korean version of lip creams. Korean cosmetics are known for lip tints and I think that is one thing that they have mastered. Most asians love that subtle makeup look even on lips and this product is perfect for that gradient lip or the full intense lip color. This products smells really nice and the creamy texture makes it easy to apply on the lips. It glides pretty smoothly and dries fast. They only have few colour selection and most of the shades are very vibrant. The colours I purchased are shade 3, 4 and 6 and below are the swatches.

GOOD: Although this is like lip creams these are still lip tints so you get a little bit of both which is a very good thing. Some lip tints are watery and some are gel or milky type but this lip cream type is really a good idea. It leaves pigments on your lips even after you eat or drink but may need to re-apply for oily foods.

BAD: The colour selections are limited and most of the shades are pretty close to each other so there’s not much variation. So for people who like to hoard and buy all the shades and have a tight budget, I suggest you just select those that you really like because the shades are pretty much the same anyway.

VERDICT: I’d give this a thumbs up for the pigmentation and getting that lip cream texture yet have that lip tint idea. The price is also reasonable which easy on the pocket for a makeup junkie like me!

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream Review and Swatches (Sao Paulo | Tokyo | Antwerp | Buenos Aires | Istanbul | Amsterdam)

Whenever people ask me what brands I used for makeups, I am always very proud and happy to share about one brand and that is Nyx. They are very affordable and good quality makeups. They have a wide range of colors and products to select from and I rarely breakout on their products so that is really what makes it my favorite. Being it my favorite brand, I have tons of products that I wanted to share but the top among my favorite list is the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream.

I believe a lot of people will agree with me on this. This is the best lip product ever hence winning the Temptalia Editor’s Choice Award last 2012. I love their different range of lipsticks but this is just genius! It’s like a matte lipstick melted into a small lip gloss tube. It’s super easy to apply unlike other matte lipsticks. It glides easily but still gives you that matte lip look. The product smells like sweet vanilla but it’s bearable. I bought 6 different shades: Sao Paolo, Tokyo, Antwerp, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Amsterdam.

Here are the individual swatches:

Girls should really give this a try. Really worth every penny and once you tried this you will ignore your lipsticks for a while because this is so much easier to use but have the same effect. And for those of you who have tried this, I bet you will agree with me. And if you want to explore on colors you can combine this with your lipsticks and blending it will not be a problem. You might mistake this with Xtreme Lip Cream which is a totally different line. This is more matte and has a stronger holding power. Xtreme Lip Cream is also good but has a different feel. I’ll have a separate review on those in my next entry. For now, you better get your hands with one of these and try it out because I bet you will fall in love with it the way I did.
