NYX Soft Matte Lipcream

 NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream has been selling like hot cakes in the online stores for quite sometime now and I must say that I really fell in love with this product ever since I first tried it.

What NYX Cosmetics say: 
"Neither lipstick nor lip gloss—this is matte lip cream. A new kind of pout paint that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing. Available in 11 lip colors."


My thoughts:

What really got me interested to this product is its packaging - the lipgloss-like container so it can save you from breaking it. Which is very essential for me since I tend to break my lipsticks easily. So a nice sturdy packaging is a plus!

These NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams comes in a yummy vanilla scent (which is my favorite scent). It comes in 11 amazing colors - Amsterdam, Stockholm, Tokyo, London, Antwerp, Istanbul, Addis Ababa, San Paulo, Abu Dhabi, Monte Carlo and Milan. They are wearable, creamy, lightweight and very pigmented like lipsticks.

Since it is matte it can be drying so I highly advice that you exfoliate and moisturize your lips prior to application. It is long wearing so it can save you from re-applying. It can last for 3 to 4 hours without re-touch. One more thing that I love with this product is that once it dries up on your lips its non-transferrable. :)

Overall, I am head over heels for this product so I HIGHLY suggest this to everyone.

Models Own Hyper-Brite Lipstick


My first product on spotlight will be the UK brand, Model's Own Hyper-Brite. I have been preventing myself in purchasing any lip product until I finish the ones that I already have. Until one day, I found myself purchased not 1 but 3 Hyper-Brite lipsticks. 

What Models Own say:
Keeping with the namesake, this is straight off the runway! Available in four fabulous Hyper-Brite shades and a vanilla-berry scent, these lipsticks will create the perfect colourful pout.”

My thoughts:

My first impression when I first saw this was - it’s just another pricey imported lip product with cheap plastic packaging. Okay, I stand corrected. Among all the lipsticks that I own, this one has the sturdiest packaging of them all! 

Models Own Hyper-Brite lipsticks are known to be unique bright coloured lipsticks. I really mean bright lipsticks but they are very wearable, lightweight and pigmented. It is a bit sheer when you first apply it so you’ll need at least 2 to 4 swipes for the perfect bright lips. 

Some says that this product can be drying on the lips but in my experience, it’s not. Was it because I exfoliate and moisturize my lips regularly? Just in case, moisturize by applying lip balm underneath first before applying this product. Some also says that its matte and some says it’s not. For me, it is semi matte with a little gloss?! The product is long wearing. It lasted for 5 straight hours without re-applying even if I ate.

It has a vanilla-berry scent according to Models Own but for me it’s more on the berry scent. It smells yummy, sweet and candy-like which reminds me a lot of Candy Corner.

 

Will I re-purchase? Yes, definitely. I’m addicted to long wearing makeups because I’m not the type of person who loves to re-apply makeup once in a while.

A new blog. A new beginning.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

 Finally, noob Dee goes blogging. After several attempts to make one, I finally signed up with blogger. I was encouraged by my good friend, Kim of Kimpossibly Gorgeous Blog (Oh hello Kim! You're a GENIUS for combining my nickname and shop's name for my blog. Thank you so much for everything! :* )

Hello everyone! I'm Dee, a noob in blogging, not really a writer but would love to share my thoughts through this blog. I am no beauty expert nor a makeup guru I just a simple girl who appreciates (and loves) beauty, fashion, food and many other things.

I have always looked up to bloggers because of their tips and honest reviews which makes it easier for me to choose what to buy, where to go and food to try so here I am trying to write and hoping that I could help others too.

PS. It is no secret that I own an online store. I may review some of the products that I offer but it doesn't mean that I am just writing the blog post just for sales talk purposes. If I will be writing a review about it, it would be my 101% honest thoughts. You may purchase it from my online store OR you may freely purchase it from other stores who offers them but my thoughts on the product(s) will remain the same. Feel free to read other reviews first before purchasing.

So let my blogging adventure begin..
