How ironic is it that my last blog post before this was one about me not using make up. But here I am, typing a blog post about make up products.
Anyways, tons have happened in between the months I posted that blog article. I now wear a full face of make up everyday to college bec I thought, “hey why spend my adolescence period looking tired all the time when there’s make up to make me look super awesome.”
Back to the topic at hand.
Due to my laziness and exceptional potential to be always rushing in the morning, (for some reason idk) I always have the least time to do my lips.
Praise whoever invented lip stains bec they are creations sent from above. Not only are they easy and fast to use, they also make it look like I’ve done a lot of work on my lips.
But much like everything else, I had to go through a lot of findings before discovering my holy grail lip tints (the search isn’t don’t yet btw). And there are 2 local brands that I’ve been trying out for the last 6 months.
Brand: Careline Jelly Lip and Cheek Tint
Price: Bought mine for PHP120. I have no clue if they’ve repriced it.
Where to buy: All leading drugstores and Watsons.
Pros:
- Locally made (GO PHILIPPINES!!)
- For PHP120, you get 10 ml of the product, which is a good amount for a reasonable price.
- Very lovely shade of red
- The tube container makes the amount of product you apply easily controllable
- You can find it in any mall in the Philippines
- Lightweight. Good for travel.
Cons:
- Shades are limited
- 2 hours after applying it on my lips, my lips seemed to have no trace of any lip product.
Would I repurchase? Probably. Yeah.
Next lip product……
Brand: KJM Lip and Cheek stain. Shade “Dolled”
Price: Php150 + shipping fee
Where to buy: Instagram or any online apps that sells stuffs in the Philippines (e.g. Carousel, Shopee)
Pros:
- Locally made
- For Php150, you get 10ml of tint, which is a reasonable and cheap price.
- Tons of shades of choose from.
- This tint literally stayed on my lips for 10 hours without reapplying. I remember eating dinner that day, watching a movie, going home and waking up with my lips looking fine asf (yeas, I did not wipe off my lip product that night for the sake of this review)
- Very very very very very vibrant color.
- Lightweight. Good for traveling.
Cons:
- Unless you can find a reseller within your area, you’re going to have to have it shipped. Meaning you’ll have to add more cash for shipping.
- The product is difficult to manage and dispense on the lips due to its roller container.
- Can have a bit of a drying effect on the lips
Would I repurchase it? Heck yeah.
My personal comment if you’re planning on purchasing one: Because they have tons of shades to choose from, make sure you select the right shade for your complexion. Or better yet, rock all of their shades! You go girl.
Now onto comparing the 2 products.
(typo on the chart there! terribly sorry about that. it's KJM)
PS, we all have different opinions on things and here’s mine. I’m just being completely honest.
Our bodies all work differently. The products I tested may or may not have worked on you and that is perfectly fine.
Feel free to leave a comment.
Have a nice day!
Stay awesome!
