Today I will be reviewing one my new found favorite brand which is Aido. I know this brand has been existing for some time now though I have never thought of dropping by their counter until recently. Quite honestly, I have never even thought of buying or even dropping by their counter until I was able to see reviews about their makeup products in videos of our Pinay YouTubers who have done videos, both makeup tutorials and reviews about this brand. So with that, I decided to try and check this brand out myself.
As per the videos I have found in our Pinay YouTubers channels, I found out that aside from Nichido, Aido is also one local brand who has budget pack promos which cost Php 100.00 only which consists of an eyeshadow with blush palette and with a lipstick. That was basically the main reason why I decided to check out their counter as I wanted to see and do a review comparing the Nichido Php100 budget pack from the ones from Aido. However, instead of only purchasing the Aido Php 100 budget pack, I was able to discover that they also have lipsticks which are in the shades I have been looking for and are very very affordable.
I was really taken aback as I didn't expect their lipsticks to be of good quality and most of all very inexpensive. Imagine, I was able to purchase matte lipsticks for only Php 25.00 each! Yep, you read that right, Php 25.00 only! In addition to that, longevity is very very good! It can last me for several hours even when I eat or drink and they don't come off that easily. So basically, retouching is not that often. :)
I have been liking brown, neutral and natural shades from makeup products and lipsticks recently and have been on the hunt for them ever since. Though I do also have the Ever Bilena EB Matte Brown lipstick, I wanted to have more of nude and brown lipstick shades I can add to my collection and I can use for everyday.
So let's get on with the reviews. :) Please expect though that this is gonna be quite a long review since I will be reviewing a few lipsticks here. I don't have all the shades though but I these are the ones I have. I will just be doing a separate review on those other shades once I get to purchase them. :) I decided to put all of these in one review so that you will also be able to see the difference in all the shades I will be mentioning in this review. :)
Okay, so let's start with my most favorite shade. The brown one. :)
When worn, this is how it looks like. You actually don't need to swipe it on how many times since it is very pigmented. What I also like about this is that though it has a matte finish, it is still moisturizing and won't even dry your lips. Also, like what I said earlier, longevity is very good that as long as you set the lipstick on your lips (like the baking the foundation on your face technique), it will stay on your lips for such a long time that retouching from time to time is not actually necessary.
And this is the swatch I made, that is just a one swipe swatch. So see how pigmented it is and that it does have a matte finish.
Okay, so let's get on with the next shade I have. This also retails for Php 25.00 only and same as the first one stated above, longevity and pigmentation is very good.
So this is the shade in Number 2. If you can actually observe, it has a brown and red shade though also is a matte one.
And of course, the swatch of this. Observe that this also has a matte finish and as well as that pigmentation is very good.
This is how it looks like when worn:
And of course, its swatch. Notice that it is like a combination of brown with a pink undertone to it.
So the Aido lipsticks I have mentioned above are all only for Php 25.00 each and is available on all Aido counters especially in Watsons and in SM Department Stores in the beauty section. I am just not sure though if these are also available in Robinsons since there is no Robinsons Malls or department stores near our area so my always go to places when buying makeup are SM malls. What I don't like though is that their shades don't have specific names but can only be classified in numbers. I am not sure though how many shades they have in this line as the ones I have mentioned and showed above are the only ones I have but I am planning to buy from this line since aside from they are affordable, I like the pigmentation and the longevity these lipsticks have.
The next one I will be showing you guys is also an Aido lipstick that seems like is included in a different line of their cosmetics. I have thought that may be the case as it has a different packaging from the other lipsticks I have purchased and stated above and the price is a little bit more than those stated above but still is very cheap. I also got the one with the brown shade, but this one costs Php 56.00
I also concluded that this one is of a different line because instead of numbers they have for the shades, this one is letters instead of numbers. Also, the packaging is different.
This is how it looks like where worn. What actually surprised me though is that even though this costs more than those stated above, the longevity of this is not as good as the ones I mentioned above, though pigmentation is still very good.
This is the swatch, like the others, this also is just for one swipe. So look how pigmented this is:
The lipstick here though is very disappointing as it is not that pigmented. I was really disappointed with it as I also had high expectations for this like those I have showed above.
Aside from the fact that I wanted to see and compare the Php 100.00 pack of Nichido and Aido, what also primarily attracted me to buy this is that I saw that the free lipstick included was purple, which is my favorite color. Also, I have already tried a purple lipstick from MAC and was able to see that it also suited me well. So I really did have high expectations on this even though I know that this is just a budget pack. The purple lipstick's packaging was similar to their other lipsticks I have purchased for Php 25.00 so of course, I cannot blame myself if I was expecting the same good pigmentation as of the others.
Let me show you first the palette that I purchased that included this purple lipstick. The palette together with the lipstick is part of their budget pack and costs Php 100.00 only.
Okay, so on with the lipstick. This is how it looks like. It is purple, a light purple but like I said earlier, I was expecting very good pigmentation as well, but was disappointed.
As you can notice, though this has the same packaging as of the others mentioned earlier, it doesn't have a number to name or to specify this shade from the others. I don't have any idea why it's like this but what I observed though that in their Aido counter, this shade is not on display for retail purchases and this shade doesn't have a tester as well.
REPURCHASE FOR ALL OF THESE LIPSTICKS AND PALETTE: YES!!!!!
I also plan to purchase other makeup products from this brand to test and review since I noticed that they are also all affordable and I wanna check out if the quality is also very good as well. In addition to that, at least I have more products to add to my make up collection. :) The more makeup, the merrier! Haha!
So there you go, I apologize though if this is quite long compared to my previous posts but I hope I was able to give you all the info that may help you decide if you would like to purchase these lipsticks from this brand.
Let me know though if you would like me to review this Aido eyeshadow and blush palette or if there are other makeup brands and products you would like me to review in the comment boxes below. :)
