Review: Lancome Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss

These babies deserve a Product review. Lancome JT is my one of my fave lipgloss brand.

Lancome Juicy tubes in Cherry Burst (smoothie), Peche and Marshmallow



PRODUCT INFO FROM LANCOME:

A delicious, gourmet delight for your lips! This ultra-brilliant, flavoured gloss slicks on easily, thanks to its handy tube-tip applicator. Totally transparent shine, plus a hint of shimmering colour makes lips glisten for a glamorous lacquered effect.

PRICE: Php 1,200 or about $25

WEIGHT : 15 ml

SHADES: Available in more than 5 shades


WHAT I LIKE:
* very shiny!
* not as sticky as MAC lipglasses
* stays on for about 4 hours
* pigmented (Marshmallow and Cherry Burst)
* love the tube applicator is hygenic compared to wand types
* 15 ml tube holds a lot of product (compared to MAC lipglass' )
* love the fruity smell

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* some are pigmented, some are not (Peche)
* much expensive compared to MAC


TIPS:

Can be worn alone or layered with your lipstick.

Not for now. Still have a lot of lipglos tubes to finish.

RATING :
4 out of 5!

What's in my makeup kit..

This week, take a peek on what's inside my kikay kit . This is what I carry around inside my bag (changes from time to time depending on my mood)..

Tadaa... =)

For the brushes and blushes, I prefer a closed zipped plastic mini bag so that my brushes will be free from dust.. and for the lippies, a mesh wide open bag ( i don't know what to call this =P)
so that it will be easy for me to retouch and find my desired lippie.

I forgot to include my Maybelline powder foundation & Skinfood Lemon pressed powder =)

What's inside :

From left to right..

Ever bilena brush used as mineral concealer brush
Sembem eyeshadow brush ( so soft for a cheap brush! hehe)
Ellana Baby Buki (case not shown)
Everyday Minerals Super full Angled brush for blush & bronzers
Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush for powder foundation / powder

Counter clockwise:

MAC Blush in Dollymix
Ellana Mineral concealer in Awake ( really love this for my undereyes! )
E.L.F. Radiance Blush in Glow (now on my 3rd pan)
Elianto Baked Blush in #3 Natural purple (pink when applied w/ shimmers)

How about you? What's inside your bag or kikay kit?
Xiao for now! =)

RED my Lips..

Here's my collection of RED lippies! I still wear them eventhough its summer!
If you're in a hurry, just curl your lashes and apply red lipstick! Instant glam! =)

LIPSTICK(from top to bottom)

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Empire Rouge
MAC Satin Lipstick in Mac Red
N.Y.X. Round Lipstick in Femme
Maybelline Watershine Pure in Glazed Red Apple
Maybelline Watershine Pure in Dragonfly Red
Nichido Magical Lipstick in Strawberry

My fave is Maybelline's Empire Rouge & MAC Red, its non-drying and the staying power is good. Unlike the Watershine variant that fades after a few hours, and not that moisturising too!

LIPGLOSS (from top to bottom)
Note: Its quite sheer when applied on the lips

Revlon Superlustrous gloss in Cherries in the Glow
MAC lustreglass in Venetian
Lancome Juicy tubes in Cherry Burst
The Face Shop Fruits Jelly tube in RD 302
E.L.F. Moisture Care lipcolor in Ruby Slipper

My favorite among the bunch is the Lancome JT! It applies sheer at first then darkens a bit after awhile. Very glossy and a natural red on me! Just like bitten lips..

I'm a bit disappointed with MAC Venetian, it quickly fades and you're left with glossy lips with no color! Its so weird coz its quite pigmented in the tube and on MAC website.

I noticed that MAC Lustreglasses are very sheer when applied, get the Tinted Lipglass if you want pigmented glosses!

***********************

Smudge Free lipstick: ( I read this tip in Marie Clare Mag )

This is really important to keep lipstick last longer and prevents it from bleeding.
RED lipstick on your teeth?! NOT COOL!

1. Make sure your lips is dry (no lipbalm coz this will just make your lipstick slide off).

2. Fill in your lips with a natural colored lipliner that's closest to your lipcolor.

3. Apply your lipstick using a lipbrush for more precision.

4. Blot lips unto tissue.

5. Apply a thin layer of translucent powder over your lips to "set" the lipstick, then apply color again and gently blot with tissue..

How about you? What's your fave RED lippie?
I'm still looking for the perfect pigmented RED gloss!
Let me know if you found one..
Take care ladies!!

11 Deadly lippies..

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Here's a pic of my favorite lippies..

As you can see I only have 2 lipsticks in the pic, not really a lipstick fan but I really love these two coz of the neutral colors..

Clockwise from left:

1. Avon shine supreme in Glossy Rose - very glossy & long lasting (lasts for 4-5 hrs on my lips)

2. Lancome Juicy tubes in Marshmallow - light pink with blue shimmers

3. Lancome Juicy tubes in Ultra light Kirsch - glossy reddish brown perfect for nightime

4. Maybelline Moisture extreme lipstick in Cozy Tangerine - a pinkish coral nude

5. MAC lustreglass in Venetian - cherry red with shimmers

6. MAC lustre lipstick in Lightly Ripe (Cult of Cherry) - sheer pink ; my lips but better shade

7. MAC lipglass in Pink Lemonade - flamingo pink on the tube - light peach on my lips

8. Lancome Juicy tube mini in Fraise Tagada - medium pink with shimmers

9. MAC lipglass in Sexy Sweet - bronzy gold with shimmers

10. MAC clear lipglass - clear w/out shimmers ; layer it on top of any lipstick for a glassy finish

11. MAC lustreglass in Pinkarat - super light pink with shimmers

My Favorite Makeup items

Here's a list of my top makeup/tools :

Tools :



* Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - really curls lashes without pinching my eyes. Its shape really suits Asian eyes.










* ELF foundation brush - i use this to apply loose powder after concealer application under my eyes, and also for liquid foundations.



* ELF Blushing, Bronzing & Blending brush - the name says it all. For blush, bronzer & loose powder application..



M A K E U P :



* Lancome juicy tubes - non-sticky gloss that lasts but not as pigmented as the MAC lipglass.









* MAC tinted lipglass - my HG gloss! makes my lips luscious & shiny.. lasts up to 4 hours.




* MAC clear lipglass - i appy this after lipstick and lo! my lips is super shiny!








* Smith's Minted Rose lipbalm - i'm a lipbalm/gloss addict, the best lipbalm for me that really works. It heals my dry lips and makes them uber soft. The best part, it has mint that makes your lips tingle. love it!







* L'oreal Blush Delice - a great alternative to MAC blushes! color pay-off is great and the price too..










* MAC Sheertone Blushes - i prefer this to the Matte Variants coz i like shimmery blushes. They just make my skin glow! I don't like too pigmented ones coz i usually end up looking like a clown.. tehehe..








* The Face Shop Black Label Eyeshadow - i love Korean Makeup! for the quality its really nice and the price is just right. Their eyeshadow is pigmented and lasts the whole day..











* The Face Shop Makeup Base - click the link below to read my review. http://shopcoholic.blogspot.com/2007/08/face-shop.html



* Maybelline Clear Smooth 2-way powder - keeps shine at bay and i love the fact that its fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic.. thumbs up for this product!




* Skin Food Gingko BB Cream - my skin just glows when i apply this! It covers slight imperfections without looking too made up. I just set it with loose powder.. no need for foundations..
