Review: Nichido Matte Lipstick in the Shade Temptation

Hey Loves!

So today will be about one of my new found favorite lippie from the drugstore which is the Nichido Matte Lipstick in the shade Temptation. This was actually recommended to me by a friend and when I saw, swatched and tried it, I instantly fell in love! And there, I finally bought my own tube of this lippie. :)

This is how the lipstick looks like when swatched:

If you notice, it really has a matte finish. It is very pigmented as well. It is actually a mauvey red dark shade.

Price: Php 188.00

Net Wt. 3.7grams

So this is how the lippie looks like when worn:

If you notice, it does have a matte to semi-matte finish but what I really like about this as well is that it's not very drying on the lips like other matte lippies. 

So I also tested its longevity. After more or less 5 hours, and during this time frame, I already ate and drank coffee and how many glasses of water, this is how the lipstick looked like:

If you notice, only a tint of it is left.

What I like:

- Very affordable: Php 188.00 only and they also have other shades

- Available in SM Department Stores- Beauty Section, Watsons and other malls nationwide

- Very pigmented

- Has a matte finish though doesn't dry the lips

- Packaging is cute.

- The cap which also serves as the shade indicator is also detachable and is a tinted lip balm :)

What I don't like:

- Lasting power is about 4-5hours max and re-application is needed especially after eating and drinking

- Transfers to your spoon/ fork, glass/mug when you eat or drink.

REPURCHASE: YES!

Like I said earlier, I love this lipstick and I don't think re-applying this from time to time will not be a problem for me. :) 

So there you have it, I hope I was able to provide you with information if you are looking for an affordable matte lipstick which is non-drying on the lips.

December 2015 MakeUp Favorites!

Hey Loves!!

Happy New Year Everyone! I apologize if for the past couple of weeks or should I say during the Holiday Season I was M.I.A (Missing In Action) from blogging is because I decided to take a short break and enjoy the Holidays. However, if you have been following me on Instagram (@Yhang_Chua), I have been updating it with the makeup looks that i have been doing whenever I was going out and as well as some makeup products I have purchased over the Holiday Season. Rest assured though that I will be getting back on track with blogging for the next few days especially now that the Holidays are over and I can focus more on blogging and makeup reviews I will be doing. :)

Okay, so for now, I know it's a tad bit late for my December 2015 Favorites, but hey, better late than never, right? LOL.

For face products, I have 2 main favorites which I have been constantly using during the Holidays. One BB Cream and one foundation. 

For the BB Cream, I have been loving this Essence PureSkin All-In-One BB Cream. I have actually made a review about this already which you can read here. I love the coverage and the longevity it gives me and the matte finish it gives. It also has SPF 30 PA+++ which I really like. 

For the foundation, I am loving this SanSan HD Foundation in the shade Natural. I have also done a review on this which can be read here. I love that in just one layer of this product, it already gives medium- heavy coverage. It's very affordable too and very pigmented so a little goes a long way. And the longevity? It really lasts me the whole day and keeps my face matte all day. :)

And for the blush, I have been loving this Careline Oil Control Blush-On in Rosy Cheek. I love its longevity and pigmentation. It lasts me the whole day too and for only Php 90.00, it's so worth it! :) I will be doing a separate review on this one so stay tuned for that. :)

And for lip products, these are my Top 3 favorite lippies which I have been using constantly especially during the Holidays. 

First are my EB Advance Advance Liquid Lipsticks in the shades Rich Vino (left) and Fire Opal (Right). Honestly, I used to not being a fan of red lipsticks until I purchased the shade Fire Opal. This is actually what I wore on Christmas Eve. :) And of course, if you have been reading my previous posts, you will know that I am a fan of dark shades of lip colors that is why I have been loving their shade in Rich Vino. I have the other shades of their liquid lipsticks and I will be doing a more thorough and separate review on them soon. :)

Last but not the least, for lippies, since the EB Advance Liquid Lipsticks have a really glossy finish, I also have a matte lippie favorite. This was actually recommended to me by a close friend of mine who also have the same shade and when she wore it one time when we went out, I loved its shade and its matte finish. This is the Nichido Matte Lipstick in the shade Temptation. :) Longevity is also good and I really love how matte it is without drying the lips. I am also planning to do a separate review on this one. 

Okay, so that's all for now. Please feel free to follow me here in BlogSpot and in BlogLovin.com to be updated for my future posts and makeup reviews.

November 2015 MakeUp Favorites

Hey Loves!

I apologize if this post is a couple of days late as I was really busy for the past couple of days. My Fiance was sick for the past couple of days so I had to take good care of him, then I celebrated my birthday last December 1st so I had a simple dinner party with my family and friends. 

So anyway, here are my favorite products for the month of November. :) If you notice on the photo above, I don't have much products to blog as my favorites for the past month since these are the few products I have been constantly using last month whenever I go out.

First and foremost, let's start with my favorite face product for the month of November which is the SanSan BB Cream in the shade Natural. I have actually done a review about this product which you can read here. I like that it provides medium to heavy coverage and it's very lightweight on the skin. Also, I like the longevity of this product as well especially in keeping my face matte especially in my T-zone area where I tend to be get easily oily. :) And of course, it's very affordable. :) Quality and the price of this product are both very great. :)

Next is this Quick FX Eyelift Cream. Fortunately, I don't have dark under eye circles but my under eyes tend to be really puffy especially when I lack sleep which I think is usual. So anyway, since I find that their Quick FX Mattifier primer is really effective, I decided to try their eyelift cream. This only costs Php 49.00 which is very affordable. I put this on my under eyes when I wake up and of course after washing my face and going to sleep at night. So far, I can see some improvement as my under eyes aren't that puffy like they used to be. :)

On with the blush, for last month, I found myself using this more often as it gives a natural blush on the cheeks. It does have shimmer in it, but the pigmentation and longevity is very good. This is also another HBC product. I also made a separate review about this blush which you can also read here.

So on with the lip products, if you have been following me on Instagram and have been reading my preview posts, especially for the month of October, you will notice that I have been very fond of blushes that's why I most of the reviews I have been posting before are more of blushes. However, I discovered last month that I am a little over my blush addiction and is now getting addicted in lipsticks instead. I have bought quite a few lipsticks last month but these three are my top favorites:

This is the Ever Bilena Lipstick in the shade Dazzling Orchid. If you check the swatch on the photo, it is actually a dark purple shade which I really love. Aside from Nude and Neutral lip shades, I have been into dark lipsticks as well and this one is my top favorite. I haven't done a review about this yet but of course I am planning to do so once I get to purchase the other shades in this line so as I can do a more in-depth review on this. :) Quality and longevity of this is very good and can last me about 4-5hours without retouching. Pigmentation is awesome since with only one swipe on the lips the color is already great. Aside from that, they also have a variety of shades from this lipstick line. They are also very affordable for only Php95.00 each. :)

And the my next favorite lipstick is this one from Maybelline which is from their ColorShow Line and this is in the shade Barely Nude. This is actually a matte color and I love the pigmentation and the shade of this. I actually use this when I go out during daytime since it just gives this natural look. I actually have a couple more lipsticks I purchased from their ColorShow Line but I haven't actually done a review on these lipsticks yet since I plan on getting more so as I can add more to my lipstick collection and as well as so as I can make a more in depth review on these babies. :) They have a wide variety of shades on these lippies and they are very affordable too! Regular price is Php165.00 each but for now since Maybelline is having a grand sale until December 31, 2015 in all their products, these lippies from their ColorShow line can be purchased for only Php150.00 each so you actually get Php15.00 discount on these. :)

Last but not the least, if I have dark and nude favorite lip shade favorites, I also have a pink one. :) This is from Aido which is in the shade Letter Q. I actually have quite a few Aido lipsticks since I find them very affordable, they have a wide variety of shades and the pigmentation and longevity of these lippies are very good. I actually have done a review on my first Aido lippies long ago which you can check out here. I will be doing an updated Aido Lipstick review soon since I have purchased a few more shades from them so stay tuned for that. :)

Okay, so that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed reading this post and also found this post very helpful. Please stay tuned for my upcoming blog posts and product reviews as I have a quite a ton of product reviews on my list now which I will be blogging about. :)

Review: Aido Matte Lipsticks

Hi Loves!

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. 

 This is how it looks like when worn. Please note though that all the pictures when worn including the first one are worn on itself. I didn't put on any lip balm or moisturizing products on my lips, just the product itself.

And of course, the swatch of this. Observe that this also has a matte finish and as well as that pigmentation is very good. 

 And this is the next shade I have. This is the one in Number 5:

                                               

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:

And of course, I also wanted to include here the lipstick I got for free in the budget pack I bought for only Php 100.00 which includes an eyeshadow with blush palette and includes a free lipstick.

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.


                                               

                                             

 And this is how it looks like when worn, if you can see, it is really not pigmented and just seems like a tinted lip balm.

 But anyway, I guess it was still worth it since I was able to get a new eyeshadow with blush palette for only Php 100.00. So I guess it's still worth it.

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. :)
