How to Define Your Lips

 

Get Ready with Me with  a defined lips!

I have thick lips and wearing lipstick alone is ok but once you go beyond the blurry lip line, I'd look like Angelina Jolie-LIPS in steroids!

So here's my best way to do the defined lips trend.

HOLD ON!
Before you go crazy applying lip liner, remember this tip!

Apply Lipliner on FULLY DRY LIPS - meaning, no need to prepare your lips with lipbalm or lip moisturizer.  The lipliner will slide off easily!  What if your lips are dry???  

WELL, I am the right person to answer this problem because DRY LIPS = ME!

HYDRATE your lips with a non-wax lip balm AFTER lipliner and lipstick application.  You only need to dab the product at the center of your lips to hydrate your lips but preventing it from making lipstick pigment slide off!

Another tip?  You do not need to buy a pair of similar shade LIP LINER and Lipstick!  Close enough shade is goo but feel free to mix and match!  Be creative!

And lastly, watch this quick reel to see how I did this look!

Absolute New York Perfect Pair Gradient Lip Duo in Rose Wood Review

Let's talk about dual purpose products!  I got a whole bunch of Absolute New York products when they were officially launched in the Philippines but this lipstick caught my attention in so many ways.

1. Cute packaging.

2. Great Shade.

3. Dual purpose - it comes with a lip liner and lipstick!

4. And can you just see the gradient color of the packaging?  The color of the packaging is similar as the color of the lipstick!  You got me at that Absolute New York!

This was the first lipstick from the brand that I tried!  I took it out from the bunch and tested this out immediately!  The launch happened several months ago and I took time to really test this out!  I am finally ready to share my thoughts on this!

Absolute New York Perfect Pair 

Gradient Lip Duo

(priced less than Php400.00)

 A 2-in-1 lip duo of complementary shades to line and fill in the lips. It's specially formulated to glide on and blend effortlessly for a creamy, satin ombre look.

Why I love such product? Absolute New York products are Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, Phthalate Free, Fragrance Free and are VEGAN and Cruelty-Free!  

This nifty packaging is perfect!  A twist-type packaging with lip liner on 1 side and the lipstick on the other side. 

The lip liner is a share or 2 darker than the lip color which can also double up as a lipstick so you get at least 2-3 shades of lipstick in one!  If that's not savings, I don't know how you'd call it!

How I made my Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Manila Work!

Some of you probably followed me on #AMWIGStories and saw me "unboxed" OFRA Cosmetics' newest shade of their famous Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick range called "MANILA".  

I love that our Capital is finally considered a shade name for a famous cosmetics brand!  And this shade is said to be apt for most Filipina skintones.

When A Lip Liner is Enough

Seldom do I use lipliner and leave the house and it happened when I tried the new L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail 6H Lip Liner in Red Wine.

As promised, L'Oreal said it'll give me that defined lips like a pro and I easily got that in just a few swipes!

Happy Skin x Disney Beauty and the Beast Moisturizing Matte Lip Kit

I grew up to be a non-Princess type of kid.  You see me chasing after kids playings "Touch Taya" or "throw the ball", "Patintero", "Touch the Wall" and worst (my husband still can't believe I did this), I climbed our house gate and people-watch!  And the gate is around 10 feet high!

Tomboy on the outside, I'm a Disney Princess at heart, I don't get to watch TV as my grandfather is really strict about his "apos" watching television but I get a good serving of Disney Stories with a casette tape and book to read along!  

One Disney Princess character I'm drawn into is Belle Gold also known as "Beauty".  She has the beauty not only on the outside but a golden beauty on the inside.

And it excites me to receive this Limited Edition Happy Skin X Disney Beauty and the Beast Moisturizing Matte Lip Kit priced at Php1,199.00.

A Long-Lasting MLBB Shade in a Pencil!

You know how you love your "My Lips But Better" shade but you wish it could stay longer?  Well, my solution will always be using a lip liner all over your lips (like a regular lipstick).  BUT, this solution doesn't seem to be the best when you have dry and flaky lips like I do!  So today, I will share a quick review on a lip liner that can actually be used by anyone who has a similar dry-lipped situation like I do!

Are you ready?  Introducing... Etude House Soft Touch Auto Lipliner in shade 5 which is a Natural Berry shade.

That's me wearing ONLY the Auto Lipliner without lip balm underneath...not bad huh?

Now here's the best part, would you believe these are priced so affordably at Php98.00?  Yes, you aren't imagining things, it is indeed 98 pesos only and there are a total of 5 shades to choose from, feel free to head on to Etude House Philippines website for other shade choices.
