Vaseline Lip Care Tube in Rosy

 

Even though I wear mask whenever I go out, I make it a point to wear hydrating lip products to keep my lips from getting dry and rough from the friction between lips and mask!  

The most problem people usually failed to notice!  Most concerns fall on skin - that explains maskne, but little does people realize, our lips are taking the most burden!

I was sent a couple of tubes of Vaseline Lip Care (Made in Korea!) and I took it on a side for a while as I have this personality of finishing up whatever I am currently using before opening a new one!

Finally, after more than 2 years into the pandemic, I gave this 100% Vaseline Jelly a try!  A well-known brand for lip care!  I tested this product and I am happy to announce that this surpasses my expectations!  

I knew Vaseline is good, well-trusted, but it is always NOT ENOUGH for my dry and parched lips!  Thankfully, this particular product offers more!

Vaseline Lip Care does not only hydrate my lips instantly upon application, it kept my lips looking moist and healthy throughout the day!  It is smooth, non-sticky, non-greasy and stays that way for longer time as compared to the old version!

Lip Care Regimen the Burt's Bees Way

I have dry skin all over, I've said that for the past decade and what's improving probably is the skin on my face, the bady - uhmm..way better from all the body lotions I've tried and tested.

One thing that has been bothering me FOREVER are my dry lips.  I've acknowledged the fact that I'm born with it and all I can do is to do my best to hydrate my lips as much as possible. 

So over the years, I've learned the ropes of exfoliating the lips as part of the regimen.  And one of my favorite lip care brand Burt's Bees finally have their own Lip Scrub! 

Here's the 3 step Burt's Bees way of taking care of your lips!

Burt's Bees Conditioning Lip Scrub

This is actually a sweet and fine scrub that helps exfoliate lips in a very gentle manner!  I find this very addictive and even if you plan to do it on a daily basis, it is actually okay as long as you don't rub your lips hard!

Aside from being a lip scrub, my lips was left soft and smooth immediately after use.

Shiseido ColorGel LipBalm Review

Have you found a lipbalm that you can actually use and can actually hydrate your lips?

Well, I kind of found one accidentally when I wasn't looking.  I picked this up recently because it says ColorGel lipbalm and you know how I love "gel" texture in anything (ex. Moisturizing, etc...)  

The shade I got was a bit dark on tube but I knew this is a lipbalm so I understood this will be sheer.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Lip Booster Review

After the launch of the full HD line last year, I used Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Lip Booster in Universal (clear) so many times on #AMWIGStories , I even finished up 2 full tubes and I can't believe I did not blog about it!

I have received several DM's on Instagram asking me which particular lip product I was using as the dryness of my lips definitely disappeared in just a couple of swipes!  

Since I got myself a 3rd tube, this time with their newest shade 02 Pink, I've decided to post about it because you can finally see a hint of color making this my ultimate fave especially for girls who have the same lip condition as I do --- dry, parched, super helpless lips!

I Tried H&M Beauty Cream Lip Colour and Raspberry Lip Balm!

What you've been reading is correct, H&M (A giant Fashion Brand) has finally revealed their beauty line called H&M Beauty and they were available in stores last September 15th and I got my hands on their Cream Lip Colour and a Lip Balm!

Let's start with the H&M Conscious Raspberry Lip Balm 

(Available in Lemon, Vanilla, Ginger and Blueberry too!)

Eureka Moment: Lip Balm To Love

You know how simple our needs are for our lip balms.  They only need to do ONE thing --- hydrate our lips.  

But I've tried gazillion of different brands of lip balms/lip conditioners through the years and all I can say is that, why is it so difficult to find THE ONE?  

Let's establish one thing for now --- my lips are ultimately dry so no matter how much raves a certain brand gets from other Beauty Bloggers, I usually don't get that impressed.  

So during my first visit at Club Clio, the marketing girl from the said brand (Hi Angel!) shared to me how much of a gem the PeriPera Moist Lip Balm is.  She said the magic word that made me grab the the product and put it in my basket without second thoughts: "It hydrates my dry lips so well PLUS it doesn't give me the glossy lips!"  

You know how Matte Lipsticks are the fad of the moment?  Well, as much as I love to wear them every hour and every minute, my dry lips just won't cooperate so I've finally picked this one for the main purpose of letting me ENJOY my favorite matte lipsticks!

Me wearing ONLY PeriPera Moist Lip Balm in Strawberry.

PeriPera Moist Lip Balm comes in 3 variants --- 01 Plain, 02 Strawberry and 03 Peach.

PeriPera Moist Lip Balm says ---

Milk moist lip balm is a gel-based lip balm 

that helps to moisturize and soften lips for al ong time.

Works for dry and chapped lips.

Etude House Balm + Color Tint Review

Easy-gradient-looking lips are super in since the start of 2016.  It started with Laneige when they created their Two-Tone Lip Bars and the other brands follow.

One brand that I was expecting to come up with more two-tone lip products is Etude House, and after constantly stalking their store at LCM (Lucky Chinatown), I finally spotted the Etude House Balm + Color Tint.  The only difference is that, it is a combination of Lip Balm and Lip Tint instead of the usual lipstick.

There are a total of 5 shades in store and I picked shade 4 which is RED.  Well, it comes off reddish orange on me!

Etude House Balm + Color Tint

Php478.00 (approx $11.00)

According to Etude House ---
Hydrating lip balm meets vivid color making Gradation Tint Stick easier and faster to apply.

Tony Moly Ferment Snail Lip Treatment Stick Review

Happy Rainy Start of the Week AMW Friends!  Please stay safe and dry!
Today, I will be sharing a lip treatment stick I've been using for weeks now, this is from Tony Moly.

The name is called Ferment Snail Lip Treatment Stick, the reason why I picked this up even if I have loads of lip treatment (backups) at home is because of the word "Snail".  Snail is quite huge in Korean Skincare and beauty regimen nowadays, so I can't help but pick one up because of the name!  And seriously, it sounds weird but this could be the answer to my "super chapped lips problem".

Tony Moly Ferment Snail Lip Treatment Stick Says ---

• Gold tea ferment snail extract gives moisturized and healthy lip care 
• Mild on sensitive skin
• SPF 13 protects lip from sun

Nuxe Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm Review

So a regular lip balm sometimes won't make the cut!  My lips are extremely dry I'm almost at the stage of giving up (drama)!  As much as I love my Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, I have to admit, the scent isn't meant for the lips!  So there are days I'll find myself giving an excuse not to apply lip balm and go straight to bed!  And obviously, wake up with drier lips than the night before. 

Then came Nuxe  Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm!  I haven't heard or read much reviews about it so I told myself I had to do it!  Once I twist open the cap and tested the consistency, I knew this is one promising lip balm and I had to share my review ASAP.

 

Nuxe Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm Says ---

This best-selling lip balm with Honey and precious oils is highly concentrated in ingredients that help to nourish, repair, soothe and protect even the driest and damaged lips.

Thanks to its unique texture and subtle taste of refreshing grapefruit, it really is a beauty must have.
At least 79,5% of the lip balm ingredients are natural, Paraben free formula to pamper your lips with high quality care.
Rêve de Miel® lip balm Star ingredients : Honey, Vitamin E.

Include Mentholatum Products on your Holiday Shopping List!

Because having Lips On Fleek is possible if you have well-hydrated lips!  

I can assure you that Mentholatum has the right type of product for each member of the family!  I can attest to that because I was able to transform my family into a lip balm user since the arrival of yummy, non-sticky brands like Mentholatum.

If you follow me on SnapChat, I can actually get away putting my bare face on camera!  But I'm sharing you one tiny secret, I always have lip balm on!  You know why?  Because my face immediately "lit up" with a well moisturized lips!  You don't believe me?  Give it a try!  Take a photo of yourself without lip balm and with lip balm on (both barefaced!)  You'll see a difference! 

And thankfully, one of my favorite "lip balm" brand came up with more products to choose from!  And I believe they are worth including in your Christmas Shopping List!

Lip Pure Fragrance Free and Orange 

Pure & Natural Ingredients

My favorite "lip base" because it goes beyond lip balm that seems to be made just for women!  I have my husband bring one inside his bag and I actually saw him reapplying midday!  The balm slide on smoothly because of the bees wax, royal jelly and manuka honey and I love my lips feel smooth all day long!

Aside from that, I always recommend this to my friends who are pregnant or are lactating because this product is Natural, made from 100% food grade ingredients thus making it safe for both you and your baby.

Which Burt's Bees Lip Balm Should You Pick?

If you are a long-time AMW reader, you'll know that I am always on a hunt for good lip balms that would work for my extremely dry lips condition.  One of the many brands I've tried AND LOVED is Burt's Bees!  

I would call myself a Burt's Bees Balm-pert (Balm Expert) because I've used all their variants and can actually distinguish which variant would work best for which lip condition.  But keep in mind this is based on my personal experience so feel free to share your favorite Burt's Bees Balm Variant and tell us how you like it.

First of all, I want to thank my Sample Room family for sending these to me because I really need to stock up on lip balms I finish them so fast I always need backups!

Tony Moly Mini Cherry Tomato Lip Balm Review

Come on seriously, can we just stop what we're doing and together say: "Aawww..how cute!!!" ?

Upon seeing the Tony Moly Mini Cherry Tomato Lip Balm, I went really excited and showed it to my son right away!  Which, by the way, is in the "fruits naming" stage so he went "Apple"!  I didn't correct him though because at first glance, it does look like a mini apple!  (So overall, fault ko din talaga! Palpak mommy! hahaha)

But yes, even without testing the product quality, the packaging won me BIG TIME!  I can hail this the cutest, most unique Lip Balm Packaging ever and I am challenging Mr. AMW to bring this with him to work (yes, he's a lip balm user) because I want his male colleagues to go: "Awww, ang cute!!" too!  #hahaha

After more than a week and I'm finally OVER with the cuteness stage (well, not really, still staring at it in front of my computer table!), trying to be unbiased and set aside all the cuteness overload, I am finally ready to share my thoughts on what's inside!

Etude House Sugar Tint Balm Review

Who loves Etude House products?
Who doesn't?  Even for a Professional Make Up Artist who always visits Professional Make Up Brands, I can't help but get attracted to (at the start) the cute packaging of ALL Etude House products but on the latter part, I'm actually appreciating how good the quality of their products!

And the Etude House Sugar Tint Balm is not an exemption!  Imagine my kiddie clients that I mostly mix lip balm and lipsticks together just to lessen the pigmentation and make their cute kiddie lips look adorable yet not too made up? 

Well, I found a nice product from Etude House and the best part?  These are not for Kids only!  I am using these on a daily basis too!

Tony Moly Delight Magic Lip Tint in Red Berry Review

You know how it is when you were starting out on makeup and lip products on pots are really interesting?  Well, I've gone through that stage and seeing this new Tony Moly Delight Magic Lip Tint brought me back to my younger years!  

If you read most of my product reviews, I dislike using "pots" on lip products because I feel like they are unhygienic!  But today...SURPRISE SURPRISE!  I am actually in LOVE with these lip pots because they are VERY hygienic when I bring them for work as a Make Up Artist! 

I only have 2 lip product pots on my traincase as of the moment, meant for male clients!  But after using them also for my female clients to "prep" their lips before the actual lipstick, I am definitely looking for more alternatives!  

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant Review

My UDL (Ultimate Dry Lips) is hopeless, I have found a lot of good lip products that works but "re-application" will always be the key to lip moisturization!

My brother, gifted me Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream last year and I stored it inside my "stock cabinet" and left it there for quite sometime as I was busy finishing up my existing 3 lip products that are scattered on "core" places inside my room.

One night, as I was watching a YT video of Lisa Eldridge, she mentioned about the "Eight Hour Cream" that she applied all over her lips and woke up with nice, soft and supple lips!  I got off my bed right away and checked the "Elizabeth Arden" gift that brother gifted me --- Wow!  I own one!!!

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant says ---

The skincare classic that soothes, restores, calms and helps relieve chapped, cracked, dry skin. Soothes roughness, redness and minor skin irritations.
