Askmewhats Reviews: In2It ColourShine Lip Gloss

No color name COS06 is the product code
**Available at SM Malls, Crossing for Php229.75 (approx $5.00)

Hey everyone! It's weekend my side and I needed all the rest I can get! The week has been hectic, and thank goodness the typhoon didn't push through! Let me talk about a newly purchased gloss I made. By the way, eventhough my lips are full and I shouldn't be using a lot of lip glosses as it could magnify the "plump-ness" of my lips, I don't care! I love to use glosses as my lips are dry and I need all the glossiness and shine I can get! :D

I've stumbled upon a new lip gloss from In2It. I honestly tried to search for their website but I can't find any. I gave this a try as the brush looks just like Stila's Lip Glaze but the difference is, this one, you have to squeeze out the lip gloss!

I chose a shimmery pink toned color as I love pink lips! They have approximately total of 5-6 shades (sorry I didn't count). They have their shades ranging from peach, pinks, reds.

Here's how a new brush looks like

Press the tube and the gloss will come out

Apply it straight on your lips or on top of a lipstick

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• NON-STICKY (this is very important for me!)
  
• affordable
• high gloss and shine
• doesn't have a strong smell (has a hint of strawberry)
• handy, easy to bring along
• the cap isn't the "click" type, you have to twist it til it closes, so won't get lost easily
  

Cons

• it is difficult to control how much product would come out
• I haven't tried the ever famous Stila Lipglaze so I can't seem to compare the staying power between the 2. But just like any other "not so expensive" gloss, it doesn't stay too long. Stays approximately 2 hours of continous talking and 1 sip on a cup!
  

Overall

This is an ok product. Color wise, definitely a lot of dupes out there. But what I really like about this gloss is the fact that it isn't too sticky at all! Done a kiss test to hubby and he said it passed his standard! LOL As he doesn't like the feeling of a sticky gloss when I kiss him *winks*

Will I repurchase?
I seldom repurchase lip glosses! I always tend to be unfaithful with lip gloss brands.


Before I go, I wanna ask,
"Can you handle sticky gloss?"
Me, I really can't! I hate the feeling!
I always ended up wiping my lips if it's too sticky!

A Winning Package from Makeup Masala and Tip for the Day!

Please don't hate me, don't think that I'm the luckiest gal in this world coz I've been posting some winnings a couple of times this week. Can I just say that they were all won a couple of weeks ago but as you all know, I live in a far away land of "bad" postal services that's why I got them all at once. <--- am I being defensive here? hahaha

Anyways, I won this from Makeup Masala's Lubriderm giveaway, I've been looking for a moisturizing lotion for my really really dry skin and when i saw Lubriderm giveaway, I jumped up the chance to give this a try, and the "giveaway" angels up there are on my side so I won!!! I'll do separate reviews on this when I got the chance to use them :D

Here's the package with the lovely Makeup Masala Logo

And see just how many freebies I got???
My skin is really happy now!
Thanks again Toma!

Anyways, let's get back to business. Aside from doing nail art, I've been cleaning my nails mostly on my own and I've been cleaning my mom's nails as well for years now. I wanted a complete set of nail care and one of it would include the Cuticle Remover.

I've had my cuticle remover filled in my "old' nail polish bottle as I find that brushing it to your nails is better than using a cotton. As cotton tends to absorb the liquid and I can't seem to get any of this product onto my nails, which means --- Wastage!

I haven't had any extra nail polish bottles for me to use, I'm glad I am "nosey" and I found this wonderfully cheap Cuticle Remover. It's always been there! At times, simplest things like this matters in making our "beautifying moments" breeze-y!

A closer look at the
Caronia Nail Care
Cuticle Remover
(30ML)

**Available at Watson's or Health & Beauty for Php11.00 (approx $0.25)

Instructions ---

1. Start preparing the cuticles and nail bed for a manicure by removing old nail polish with a Nail Polish remover.
2. Brush on a generous amount of this Cuticle Remover
3. Allow cuticles to get soaked and soften before pushing
4. After pushing, brush away excess cuticle and nail plate particles before you apply your desired polish

And the good thing? You can buy a full bottle of a cuticle remover and refill it!

A small step like this helps a lot in prettifying your nails!
You don't even need to use a nail polish!
A clean nail says so much about you!
So groom your nails and be pretty from head to toe...
Fingernails to Toenails :P

Thanks to the BeautyGeek

I got home, Tuesday night and really not in the mood as weekend is still far away and I'm having a back pain (it's not because of old age oK?)

As I saw a big UPS package at the living room, I didn't expect it to be mine! (as most packages that comes my way needed to be picked up at the post office) It's funny how just a package you haven't even open yet would brighten your day. It's like Christmas all over again!

A little bit of background, this wasn't just something that dropped from the heavens...I joined the Beauty Geek lovely CG Giveaway, because I really wanted to give CG Lash Blast a try but I'm having second thoughts as I've read both rants and raves. Someone out there really does listen to me! :D

1. CG Lash Blast in Very Black
2. Eye Enhancers in blazing blues
3. CG Wetslicks Amaze Mint in Toast-ed

And not to forget, they were all housed in a cute PINK make-up Pouch with 2 coupons <-- that I won't be able to use (too bad)

Thanks to Janine! A beautygeek who's got sense of humor!
and thanks to P&G Canada for sending this to me so FAST!

Eureka Moment: Scholl Buy 2 Take 1 Air Pillo

I've always been honest to you guys on everything I write. And here's one thing you'll learn about me after reading this post. (I bet you're really curious now eh?)

I won't blab further, I'll just breathe in and out...and tell the truth...

I HATE MY FEET!!!

I just realized that I'm shouting that to the world! Well, I do ! I really don't like my feet! Why? Because they are super weak, you can see that my feet is older than my real age, and I can't wear lovely shoes with heels because I'll be limping my way home.

But before I blab further about my feet and give out too much information that may embarrass me further lol I was out shopping with the hubby last weekend and hubby was looking for something comfortable to put in his "work shoes". We found Scholl and this is not a review as i haven't used this yet.

*thinks again* If this is not a review, why am I telling everyone about my bad feet??? :( I can't get over this! LOL


Ok, the reason why I created a special post for this because Scholl Air-Pillo is having a promotion of buying 2 free 1 pair of Air Pillo! Me being a self proclaimed Smart Shopper... I have to tell you guys about this right?

Buy 2 take 1 pair Available at Landmark, Trinoma
(Php160.00+ each approx $3.50)

Hubby bought 2 pairs and the free one is mine! Here's how it looks like (photo below)

Not too thick, a bit thin, so I'm not sure yet how it would perform I don't wear shoes often, so it may take some time for me to review this Or I can always interview my hubby for a review on this :)

Start making peace with your body
I hated my feet too long, and nothing changed!
As long as all the parts of my body are working fine,
everything's ok right?
