Battle of the TINTS! =) *picture heavy*



The lazy madame is back. Ok ok I know Im so lazy and I adore people who manage to post everyday. I just suddenly realize I need to update so here I am. (Enough of nonsense talk or enough of talking to self lol)


I am a TINT girl ever since highschool. I wanna try BENETINT because Ive heard so many good/bad reviews about it and wanna try it myself so I would know how I would like it but ohhh its way over my budget. I know I know some people think Im over reacting but if your here in the Philippines you would get my point. IMPORTED things specially those made in US and JAPAN are uber expensive here. (I am hearing echoes of AMEN lol)
Here I am going to review KOREAN brand TINTS because I dont wanna review local products because for me, why review something you can easily get a hold of and try yourself? I feel reviewing products out of reach or not locally common so girls out there who raves them would get to know if its worth the effort. But neeeeeeh Im just making excuses, Ill review local products soon LOL.
Say hello to my babies : (left to right) Tony Moly Tint in Cherry and Apple, Lioele Blooming Pop Tint in Cherry and Pink and my LOVE Tony Moly Milky Tint in Pink!
Swatches:
Tony Moly Milky Tint/ Liole Pinky tint
when blended


Tony Moly Milky Tint : comes with doe foot applicator thats uber feathery soft. This one is love when applied on lips (and i dont wanna show you because my lips are like FAT and UGLY lol) but sadly it does not show that much on face but I think it would show better for those who have fairer skin than mine (Im medium to fair skintone). Smells sweet but very faint. Price: 370 php / 9 USD


Lioele Pinky Tint : Ive done a review for this one before if you havent seen it click this. Its almost the same compared to TM's but I love TM's more because this one has a brush applicator like your applying nail polish on your lippies lol. On cheeks/skin I dont like this because its hard to blend. It shows streaks on where you applied it before blending if you know what I mean (GAAAH Im so bad in explaining such things maybe because I s*ck in ENGLISH LOL) Smells like strawberries YUM. Price: 495 php/ 11.50 USD


Next Stop Tony Moly Red Apple Tint : I think this is the most popular tint in KOREA, dont correct me if Im wrong LOL. Its raved almost everywhere because its extremely pigmented like AHHHHHHH BLOOD STAIN LMAO. But I think the cherry one was way loved by most (which I gave away to a dear friend because IM THE BESTEST FRIEND EVER HAHA). Its scarily Red as you can see and looks like you're injured when not blended properly LOL. But overall I love this tint when placed just on the center of the lips to create the so called "just sucked in a Popsicle" effect. It stays on the whooooooooooole day but tends to be drying so be sure to hydrate your lips before applying. Smells like permanent markers from the tube LOL but doesnt smell like anything while on the lips. Taste like nothing because I dont lick it helloooooo. Price: 275 php/ 6.30USD
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FINGER STAIN LOL.
Now for Lioele Blooming Pop Cherry Red Tint : This disappointed me. Some say this is the best dupe for BENETINT which I cant say because I dont have and havent tried benetint. This tends to be transparent obvious red when applied but tends to be sheer and not so visible when blended. Not as drying as TM's Red Apple Tint but staying power is SO SO. This is way thinner than the Blooming Pop Pink One seems liquidy. Smells like cherry, cherry medicine lol. Price: 495 php/ 11.50USD
Liole Cherry tint / TM's Apple Tint/ TM's Milky Tint / Liole Cherry Tint
My Fave out of the BUNCH Tony Moly Magic Tint in CLEAR : Its one of those products who interacts with temperature and once applied turns into wonderful pink. Sorry if it already look old because this is my everyday tint. It smells like hmmmmmmm grapes wonderful grapes and taste like grapes. It seems sticky but not overly sticky and it doesnt seem to bother me (even if i hate glosses because of stickyness). Have a shiny finish. I just apply this on my lips. Just got this last month. Price: 250 php / 6 USD
Seeeeeee when also applied on skin its still gorgeous and awesome.
TM's Magic Tint in Clear/ Liole Cherry tint / TM's Apple Tint/ TM's Milky Tint / Liole Cherry Tint

TM's Magic Tint in Clear/ Liole Cherry tint / TM's Apple Tint/ TM's Milky Tint / Liole Cherry Tint
without flash/ indoor lighting
On to the water test.
The lioele Cherry tint is gone. See its disappointing. 1 Lioele tint costs me like two TM's Apple tint. The prices in USD are just based on rough estimation of 43 php per one USD. If you are interested to get these products I believe Lioele is sold in Prettyandcute.com (which is a US BASED seller) and for Tony moly Im not so sure. I got mine from my very pretty online seller Charm. She have the best and most reasonable price EVERRRR.

Holika Holika - Cat Blush (updated with swatch)

Hi loves. Holika Holika is a korean brand we dont hear much about (unlike Etude House, Face Shop and Tony Moly, speaking of TM, we already have a branch open here in PH, at SM FAIRVIEW oh my Gosh cant wait to go from South to North just to buy their so famous lip tints, scarily super pigmented tints, which i already have but in case i ran out). Back to topic, Holika holika is known for its witchy cute design. With their signature color Violet or rather Purple (like Hera, but Hera as far as I know is a high end brand). I bought this cat blush when its on sale. I already had my eye on it for a long tiimmmmmmmmmmmmmmme. Its usually around 900+ but got it for 700+ php (roughly 16USD based on 43php per 1 USD) from Charm. This blush totally sold me with the uber cute kitty! I love cats. And this is totally an eye candy for me.
Had this almost a month now but havent touch it because I just adore the kitty design and Im afraid I might destroy it. LOL.
Sorry for poor photo quality I just used my camera phone for these snaps. Pardon me but I dont have any swatches to show you because Im a total failure when it comes to that (but I would try to maybe some other time when Im not too lazy or busy). Color or pigmentation is pretty decent. Its more of a highlight than a blush, only the kitty part have the peach blush color is the other ones thought it looked like pink purple whatsoever when swatched are as light as sheer white. There's one thing I dont know if I would consider it a pro or a con because i neither hate or love this fact, its a shimmer bomb. Click this to check. As in it has a lot of shimmers and im not kidding. Never the less still love it because of its cutenessssssssss.
Scent? It smells like baby powder on the pan but I dont smell anything when applied on skin or when I swatched it on my fingers.
*UPDATE*
Finally managed to snap a swatch for you. Blahhh I dont have any good camera here, just my phone. Dont expect too much (lol)

LIOELE Blooming Pop Pinky Tint (Review)

This is a part of my haul last month and Ive been using this for a week now. Its from Liole, a korean brand. I bought this from Charm.This tint is most raved among tints from Korean Cosmetics and so have I because of the reviews I have read, and also the uber cute packaging but it disappointed me.
I love the small packaging but the thought of not being able to see what you have left inside makes me nuts because I wanna use it til the last drop (how can I scrap the bottle sides if I cant even see if theres somethin on it?) The color looks so cute in the little bottle but when applied: Its super sheeeeeeeeeer (forgive my hairy arms).I bought this for 495 Php or around 11.25 USD. Its worth a try though because its pretty when applied on your lips but as a cheek tint? Nah. And staying power is not that good. It lasted less than an hour (or maybe because I talk a lot? LOL). Packaging? Super cute. But the applicator? A thumbs down because it looks like a nail polish brush. When I was applying this on my lips in the office my officemate told me "Why are you applying polish on your lips ewww." I was like LOL. I dont have any pictures of it when I applied it on my lips because I think my lips are pretty UGLY. Hoho. Plus my lips are uber pigmented so it wont show a lot but still cute though.
I wouldnt recommend this but maybe it would work for those who have fair skin and not so pigmented lips. Cant wait to try tony moly tint next.
As a whole (for those lazy peeps LMAO)
YAY's
♥ Cute Packaging
♥ Not drying
♥ Cheap
♥ Doesnt taste awful (but dont over eat LOL)
NAH's
• Not so pigmented.
• Poor lasting power (or maybe its just me?)
• Nail Polish Applicator (that tends to harden and whatever i just dont like it)
• Leaves pink streaks on where you actually applied the tint color before blending.
• Only sold in Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, in short ASIA (but you can buy it online I recommend this seller click here)
Final Score : 7/10 - Repurchase? Nah. I'd love to try moreeeee other brands.

Etude House Moistful Collagen Cream (Review)

Finally, I get the energy to review this product I bought from obviously EH last 2 months ago. This little tub lasted for 2 months and you see its empty, first product I have emptied this year (Im into trying a lot of things then when I see something new I end up tossing them around and some chilled in the fridge and will just grab em whener I feel to do so). This is an OK product Im really not that impressed. So to make review serious:
Pros:
1. Once applied it makes your skin feel hydrated instantly(if my skin can only talk it would've said "wow!refreshing")
2. It made my skin soft.
3. It did not break me out.
4. Its really not a cream it feels like a gel.
5. Cooling effect.
6. Cute Packaging comes with free sample emulsion and travel size tub.
Cons:
1. It has fragrance, which my boyfriend hates. So he shoos me away whenever I have this on. LOL.
2. Its thick, I wouldn't be wearing this if the weather is SUPER HOT, specially in PHIL because it doesn't absorb fast and wont make my face breath.
Weeee. Woo hoo! 1 jar down! KO'd. LOL. Now Im waiting for my Omija Set I ordered from Charm. Too bad I need to wait til April so I think Imma gonna shop again tomorrow in EH since its payout today! ♥

Missha BB Balm Pact (Review)

Missha BB Balm Pact
I got this today and I really love the scent. Smells like a perfume. It may be a con to those who hate scented products (and so korean prods are not for you most of em are scented) but it really doesnt bother me because you wont smell it once you already applied it on your face. Coverage is good more like Missha PC. I got the one with shade 21(light beige), there are two more shades 13(lightest) and 23(natural beige). The packaging is superb.
Well I cannot say more, maybe I would write a review with more depth when Im already done half way through the product. But I really love it.
