Shen's Addiction: lip tint

Like everyone else, I anticipated the release of the latest Majolica Majorca, the edgy little sister of Shiseido. One thing that I appreciate about MJ is that whenever it comes out with a collection, it doesn't overwhelm me with too much products. You can definitely concentrate and see the beauty of a product when it's not overloaded.

With MJ, everyone can afford to complete the collection! Even if just half of it, there's really no sorry factor in it. At least, there wasn't for me.

So let me make your life easier by reviewing another Majolica Majorca Limited Edition product and see if it's worth giving up a few cups of frappuccino from Starbucks!

Majolica Majorca Blood-On Cheek and Lip Tint

Yes, I was scared that the pot was too blood-on red. Like it would be too hard to blend. But thankfully, it wasn't. Another thing I was scared of, was that it was too sticky or too balm-y that it would create such a sheen on my face... eh, I'm oily!

Still, I had to try it. Sayang eh. I already have it...

Texture-wise, it was like a regular balm or a cream blush It's smooth and easy to spread.

Great news, it's not as blood red when I swatched it. It was actually pinkish on my wrist! It was a tinted lip balm that is easy to spread and easy to control.

No, it wasn't scary at all. I tried it on my cheeks and it does have that glowy or dewy look on my cheeks. At first I wasn't too keen on seeing a sort of shine. I am a matte girl and I like my face matte as long as I can have them (oilies easily creep up even with the most matte product I own, demmit) but I got used to it eventually. So I just let it be and see if I can take it.

A few days later it was all I could think when I go work with no makeup on except for powder and this Majolica Majorca Blood On Lip and Cheek Tint. I noticed how easy it was too apply that I don't need to use up too much time on makeup to get colors on my cheeks.

See how it looks balm-y? But what I like is that it didn't appear that way on my cheeks. It blended well with my liquid foundation or foundation powder to give me that flushed look. It really is just going to give your that tinted blush look. Great for those who just want a bit of color on their lip and cheeks.

This product is also buildable. It may be a bit soft on the first layer but if you layer this on properly, you'll get a good pigmentation that you might want. As for me a layer or two is enough for an everyday makeup look.

Check out the photos below. I used the Majolica Majorca Blood-On Cheek and Lip Tint.

I recommend anyone to get this if they just want a simple product that is encased in a beautiful packaging and have that dual-purpose. For someone who's really skeptic about this product, I never thought that I'd be bringing this to work everyday just so i don't have to look pale.

Are you in to lip and cheek tint? Have you tried Majolica Majorca Blood-on Lip and Cheek tint? :)

Revlon just released their latest and with what they've been coming up with the past year, lemme just say that I'm quite excited about this one. You see, I've never tried anything like this. The closest is the The Body Shop's Lip and Cheek Tint and Ever Bilena's dupe of it.

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm reminded me so much of my Crayola Non-Permanent Markers. Not only that, they reminded me of the fluorescent fine-point markers I used to highlight my law school books. I've always imagined how my pink highlighter would look like on my lips. Good thing I don't need to actually use that to find out.

Revlon Just Bitten is aptly named, I tell you. My lips looked like it's been kissed senseless by Edward Cullen. Okay... I meant Jacob but he got too many fangs more than I could take so I'm sticking to the pale dude. And he looks like a good kisser anyway. Hihihi!

Lip Stain has "Vitamin enriched formula with Vitamin C for anti-oxidant protection."

Lip Balm also "contains Vitamin C for protecting skin."

What I like about the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm...

1. Very pigmented and buildable colors
2. Lip Balm provides a glossy finish without the sticky feel.
3. Lasts for more than regular lipsticks by twice and even thrice the time.
4. Doesn't come off when you eat or drink.
5. Definitely no smudging.
6. Great lipstick base.
7. Hate the dragging feel of lip liner? Well, you can replace them with this.
8. 10 shades to choose from!

What I don't....

1. As much as I love the long lasting lip stain, taking it off is very difficult and sort of a pain. Really... I need to exfoliate my dry lips the first time I used this. Well, its a stain so I guess that's that. :)

Here are the usual swatches!!

Don't they look like real lipsticks?

Tips:

1. Exfoliate lips with a lip scrub for smoother application
2. Keep pen close to avoid the tip from drying.
3. Moisturize lips prior a few minutes prior to application but remove excess for the lip stain to adhere on the lips.
4. Don't overdo removing the lip stain. Remove it as you would a lipstick.
5. Be careful on removing the cab of the balm since it has tendency to break when the cap is popped forcefully. :)
6. Smile! You've got the puckers for it. :)

much love,
Shen
