Life as a mom who loves beauty can never get boring becasue inbetween cooking and running after a toddler, you get to try on fun bold lipsticks. And Maybelline is never one to not bring their best on the table (or in my case, changing table! Haha!), I started to embark on THE LOADED BOLD MATTES they just launched a week (or was it two weeks?) ago. Well, don't mind me. I get my days mix up, thanks to many sleepless nights and never ending errands and chores!

What I have here are some of the best shades from their latest collections! But wait, let's talk about the texture first because hell if I put on a lipstick that feel gritty, no matter how good the shade is. 

The Loaded Bold Mattes is - hallelujah!! - the same powdery matte consistency we have all come to love in the Maybelline ColorSensational. It's not the drying consistency that my lips can't stand.  Those dessert-like liquid mattes have the backseat this Summer! This feels good, thankfully.

So let's get on with the colors... We all know you wanna see them up close and personal.

If this is the first time I've heard of Pink Sugar, I would run to the nearest after seeing these new beauty products.

More so because they are the forst beauty brand to collaborate a whole collection with a Filipina beauty blogger. #supportourown

A brand getting bloggers for their expertise through reviews and features are one thing but to collaborate with them and create products for them is another. Pink Sugar saw the brilliance in this idea and so they partnered themselves with one of Manila's top beauty blogger, Liz Lanuzo of Project Vanity.

Liz has been beauty blogging for a decade and with that comes a lot of experience and knowledge in everything and anything beauty. And it's definitely a dream come true for her to have one of her visions come to life in these 4 lip crayons she created with Pink Sugar to which they candidly name, These Lips Don't Lie. Because as you all know we beauty bloggers likes to keep it real for y'all!


Woke Up Like This, Love at First Swipe, Nothing to Wear, Ready in 5

My favorite is Woke Up Like This.
This is definitely a Love at First Swipe the moment I put it on. It's the shade that I would go to if I feel I like I have Nothing to Wear just because the shade is neutral but really pretty. It's a no-brainer kind of shade and my friends weren't surprised when I picked this out of the bunch. It's the kind of color that stays put even after you've eaten. A light retouch here and there and you're Ready in Five with this shade.

See what I did there? Wink! Wink!

The rest of the shades are pretty much what every girl needs in her stash so if you're a newbie, feel free to get all the shades in this collection. Promise, you'll use all of them. And YAS! These lip crayons are MATTE! ALL FOUR OF THEM! #Capslockmuch

Love at First Swipe is an ideal neutral peach cocoa lipstick that's sooooo on trend. You see this on Instagram and practically anywhere now. And girl, this ain't yo' momma's 90 lipsticks. Yo momma gunna want some, though. Fo' Sho'. #ghettogurl

Nothing To Wear is a deep plum shade that all women should have in their stash. If you've been putting off getting this shade, then here is your excuse. It's apt for that when you... 

"Nagmahal.
Nasaktan.
Nag-dark lipstick."

Ready in Five is an easy bright pink lipsticks that doesn't look too shocking on our skin-tone. I think this is one of the flattering pink lipsticks I own and it will serve its purpose on days I'm feeling dainty, ultra-feminine or okay.. feeling pa-cute. Yes, I admit I have feeling pa-cute days. Not so often these days though. 😆



These lip crayons glides smoothly against the lips. It's not drag-gy and the pigment pay-off is really good. For P399, you are definitely getting your money's worth and then some. I'm a big fan of Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me Moisturizing Lippies but these Pink Sugar X Project Vanity is eating me up! The beauty game is ON, baby!

I always, a little competition is healthy!

Aside the awesome These Lips Don’t Lie Lip Crayon Collection, Pink Sugar also launched three new shades of HD Lipsticks in matte formulation. 💋💋💋You know how much I love their their HD matte lipsticks right here so you’re sure that I’d rave about these babies, too.

Ubusan ng Pera collection is what I call these trio because I don’t think I can pick out a favorite. Lahat sila are making me drool! Pant, even! How gorgeous are these shades right?
The swatches alone are immaculate! 

Is it the tita in me?? I don't think so, Uso kaya lahat tong shade na 'to!

Butter is described as a creamy pink nude, Sinful is a muted rose brown shade while Wicked is a muted mauve. If I would create my own collection of lipsticks, these would be it! It's like Pink sugar listened to my soul, to my dreams. Naks!

But yeah, I'm totally digging these shades right here and they are easily some of the nicest colors I've seen lately. Wow! Pink Sugar is really nailing it and really putting the beauty competition to a whole new level. I'm beyond impressed. If you can get these on trend lip colors for P299, every Pinay will have fashionable lips! Un oh!

Pink Sugar's NEW HD Lipsticks in Butter, Sinful and Wicked


Kilay pa more!

If you're lemming for more brow products, brow mascaras are not enough then you will love the Hey I'm Good Eyebrow Palette they released this month. Two new shades that will suit the usual Filipina skin colors. Though brow palette isn't new to us, Pink Sugar Hey! I’m Good Eyebrow Palettes come with a gel/pomade! First of its kind and totally saving you money!  The brushes ain't that bad either though I would still use my dependable MAC angled brush for a more precise application.

#Onfleek is the goal and you can  Pia-Wurztbach-gradient-kilay yours, too, with the three brow powders included in each palette. My shade is Sassy Brown but do allow me to play around more with these so I can give a more reliable recommendation next time.

Pink Sugar Hey I'm Good Eyebrow Palette in Sassy Brown and Perfect Taupe


So proud of you, Liz! Congratulations!


Rohit and Laveen shares with host Janeena Chan how dedicated they are in creating products that we will love. 

It's highly unusual that two men, brothers even, are behind the growing brand that is Pink Sugar. But this clearly is the best example that even when you think it's impossible or that it's not the norm, if you put youre mind to it, you can do anything. 

Congratulation, Laveen, Rohit, Liz and the Project vanity Team. You guys make this beauty world a lot more lovable with your inspiring works.

May Pink Sugar reach more Filipinas and women all over the world.

I was talking to my cousin last weekend and as always, our conversation, no matter how deep it is, will always always turn to makeup. LOL! She found herself experimenting with different shades of lipsticks lately and realized that pinks look great on her. She's morena with supple plump lips who used to stay away from the rosier shades of lipsticks and I'm glad that she finally see the potential of this color.

And look what landed on my desk a few days later! L'Oreal Star Velvet Pinks from their Color Riche lipsticks collection. This post is for you, Ditse!

Ask and you shall receive!

Following the success of Happy Skin's collaboration with Preview Magazine in their two exclusive matte textured lippies, the brand decided to heed all our requests for more shades that are on trend. Glad to know that Happy Skin is all ears with what we want and they aim only to please. So not only are they adding more Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Matte Lippies, they also created a whole new lip product range!

Just when I thought I have weaned myself from all things pink when it comes to lippies, here is Maybelline out to stir up my addiction with this blush shade with their new Colorsensational Pink Alert Collection.

But gone are the pale, pearly, girly kinds of pink. Nope! What we have here are shades of pink inspired from the runways of New York. This is certainly the run-of-the-mill kind of pink lipsticks. It's more passionate, brighter and edgier. Certainly deserving of our more confident demeanor.

So even if I'm just home all day caring fro little Camilla Claudette, I gave these lippies a try to see if they are as good as they look. :)

It's another fun collection for MAC this Summer and it's going to be oh-so colorful and ever so bright! :) Think yellow lipstick and glosses, bright blue pigments and neon orange liners. :)

Are you intrigued?

I love getting the latest beauty news on my e-mail so I make sure to sign up for many of the beauty brands newsletter via e-mail. When I received an email that Pure Color Envy was launched in the US (I think it was earlier this year), I knew that it's okay to be hit! It's been a while since Estee Lauder has launched a lip product and I had a feeling that it's going to be big! And it is! Many sang praises over the new lipsticks from this iconic beauty brand, thanks to it innovative sculpting and true-to-its-color features.

Take a look at the new collection that will be available on May 15, 2014 at your favorite Estee Lauder counter!

Check out the new Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Lippies Summer Edition!
