Askmewhats Reviews: NYX Concealer in a Jar (Medium)

First of all, I want to thank Lizzz of Li(z)terati for introducing me to this wonderful product. I've seen this product "all the time" when she's doing a tutorial. I have always been in search for a concealer easy enough to apply on my undereye circles. Since I bought a couple of NYX e/s from Cherry Culture, I gave this baby a try and so far.... I'm very happy! Thanks Liz!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NYX Concealer in a Jar is Magic in a jar for your's truly. It was really difficult for me to choose a shade as I ordered online and everyone who does online shopping knows how difficult it is to choose a shade. I chose Medium and I thought I made a wrong choice and thought ..."what the heck? I'll just use this as eyeshadow base then"

Let me swatch it for you, again for preference, I am a NC30/35

It looked a bit pinkish on me, but it really works on my bags...really, surprisingly...it does

Let me show you a pix below (Note: I applied it all over my eyes with a concealer brush)
No powder, no nothing, just the concealer



This li'l jar really works on me!

NYX Says ---
This concealer gives you natural coverage for larger areas. Perfect for oily to combo skin.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• very smooth and doesn't sink in the lines
• can work very well as e/s base, I've tried this so many times and it doesn't crease
• affordable
• finishes into powder form, but not powdery
• very creamy and glides on easily
  

Cons

• not available here, have to order online hence difficult to choose the colors
• have a faint smell, I can't seem to explain the smell, but to some it won't be a problem, to me, I'm not into concealers with scent..hehehe but it's ok :)

Tip

Please DAB do not rub the concealer as this will just remove the product out of your skin.

Will I repurchase?

YES YES YES! Waiting for the next Cherry Culture sale.


Have you found your HG concealer?
I did, but I need a back up just in case I can't order this online
Have a great conceal those needed to be concealed day! *smiles*

Red rose has number of thorns in it, when it pinches your fingers it hurts. Everyday in my life is just like red roses. Sometimes life is not always a bed of roses, but life is great with GOD.

Askmewhats Reviews: Revlon Sugar Sugar

** available at all beauty stores for approx Php950.00 (approx USD20.00)

Revlon Sugar Sugar was said to be part of the "limited" edition (as I was told) but it has been a year now and I can still see this available in all Revlon counters.

Revlon Sugar Sugar Lip Topping Says ---

Sugary, iridescent pearl powder topcoat decorates lips with a crystal-cut faceted effect.

Askmewhats says ---

Let me show you through pictures first, here's how the whole thing looks like.
The applicator is hard (not brush type) as shown picture below

Here's my hand as swatch, left side is a clear gloss and the right side is clear gloss topped with the Revlon Sugar Sugar lip topping (yes, it literally looks like sugar, the texture is the same as salt though...no taste)

Here's my lips, with colored gloss...

And here's the same gloss as above topped with Revlon Sugar Sugar lip topping

Pros

• this product is indeed good for glosses, when topped, it is more glittery
  
• can stick to all kinds of lip products (lipstick, lipgloss, lip balms, etc...)
• you can change the look of any lip color you have on
  

Cons

• the packaging is cute but it's not feasible to bring along
• the applicator is hard to apply, you have to clean it after every application (Note: dip, apply, clean, dip, apply, clean again....)
• for dry lips individual, this may not be that suitable for you, as it'll help FLAKE your lips more
• Pricey!
  

Tip
There's one tip in using this, after you apply the Sugar Sugar lip topping, top it again with a clear gloss and you'll definitely have this "iridescent" effect as promised.

Will I repurchase?
No, as this li'l bottle can last for a long long time.

Weekend Food Tripping: Recipes

Me and my wonderful husband, Keith was game for a nice walk and shopping at the Robinson's Place Manila Midtown Ermita. It was dinner time and the food lover (aside from Make-up addict) in me wanted to try something again. We have had our times at the Recipes for 3 times now but we wanted to give other food a chance. Here's what we had...not much, but we went home happy :)

** Seafood Rice for Php 110.00

**Chicken Curry for Php 175.00 (boneless)

** Lechon Kawali with Kangkong leaves for Php 200.00

It's all good food. We enjoyed it and the servings are perfect for twos. We will definitely come back and give their other food choices a try.


Something to look out for if you want to drop by at this place ---

1. Gising-gising (vegetable dish with coconut milk)
2. Crispy tilapia (fried boneless fish)
3. General's chicken (an old time favorite of people who comes back, crispy boneless chicken)

How's your weekend?

Nikki
