Beauty Review : Purbasari HI-MATTE Lip Cream Hydra Series (All Colors)


No. 1 Vinca, No. 2 Azalea, No. 3 Lantana, No. 4 Zinnia, No. 5 Freesia





Hello guys, I am on my Christmas and New Year holiday now. By the way, Merry Christmas and happy a joyful holiday with your closest ones. Meanwhile I am not doing anything special today, I will write my honest review about Purbasari HI-MATTE Lip Cream Hydra Series that I got from a drugstore called "Watsons". Pretty much is a famous drug store in South East Asia, especially in Indonesia and Singapore. They are selling medicines until drug store makeups or any other random cute products in a great deal.

Comeback to the point about this brand, Purbasari. Purbasari is a Indonesian local brand. I already knew this brand since I was a little kid. But back then Purbasari only produced skin care or body care products. In the past 2 years, they have been developing some new cosmetic products which is so surprising because THEY ARE DOING FINE. WELL DONE AND GOOD JOB PURBASARI.

I am writing this post not based on any collaboration or endorsement contract. But I tried their products. I use their body scrub / lulur mandi while I am taking shower, tried their matte lipsticks, and now I am trying all of their recent lip cream named HI-MATTE Lip Cream Hydra Series. I got all of these on holiday season and watsons offer me a good discount. THANKS WATSONS LOL.

Okay, let's put on review!

Positive:
  1. Packaging looks fancy meanwhile the price is so budget friendly ($5 each)
  2. Pigmentation = buildable for all colors.
  3. Magically all of these colors are suitable for all skin types and skin colors. If you have lighter or darker skin, you all are safe!
  4. It doesn't have any weird smell or any perfume in it.
  5. Applicator is not too big, it helps us for apply easier on our lips.
  6. Travel friendly!
  7. DRY LIPS? NO PROBLEM! These are not going to make your lips dry after application. But make sure you take care of your lips before application by using lip balm or lip scrub. Do not blame the product if your rusty lips are the real problem! lol
Negative:
  1. It's not kissproof or waterproof.
  2. Sadly they only offer 5 colors for a moment. (Personally, I don't put on a hate about this point, but might be some people want more colors in the future.)
My favorites are No. 2 Azalea, No. 3 Lantana, and No. 5 Freesia. This package is a great idea for birthday gift or christmas gift for your beloved ones.

Beauty Review : Maybelline COLORSHOW Lipsticks (Affordable Lipsticks for Makeup Beginner)








Hello everyone!

I am back again to my blog, after I am taking a hella long break from blogging. Finally I graduated from my university! YEY! Now, I can work on things that I love which is blogging (also teaching foreign languages to my students).

Comeback to the main point, I just want to share my collection of MAYBELLINE NEW YORK COLORSHOW LIPSTICKS. I have 6 lipsticks here. Here are all the names:

  1. Maybelline COLORSHOW No. 105 - Pinkalacious
  2. Maybelline COLORSHOW No. 107 - Pink Paradise
  3. Maybelline COLORSHOW No. 202 - Red My Lips
  4. Maybelline COLORSHOW No. 212 - Neon Red
  5. Maybelline COLORSHOW No. 402 - Plum-tastic
  6. Maybelline COLORSHOW No. 301 - True-toffee (matte but not too matte? I am feeling so confused with this one to be honest)
Defenitely my favorite colors are No. 105 and No. 202. 

***


Positive points:
  1. Well made packaging for such an affordable price
  2. So many good variation of colors. You still can rock these colors if you are not having a bright skin.
  3. Easy to use, especially if you are a beginner or non professional.
  4. Easy to blend to give you natural finish or lip tint / lip gradation effect.
  5. It smells like candy or cookies.
  6. Travel friendly.
  7. Affordable especially for you that living in a tight budget for makeup, ONLY $2-$3!
  8. About the color pigmentation, GREAT!
  9. Texture is creamy.
Negative points:
  1. Sadly you pay $2-$3 for a little amount of lipstick in that container. But well, this product is still good for beginner.
  2. Do not put under the sun / super hot sun light, it is going to melt for sure!
  3. Some people might like it and some people might hate this, it is not waterproof. Do not expect you can go swimming with your boyfriend and wearing this lipstick.
They are coming with highlighting sticks, color corrector sticks, and many more. I really recommend Play 101 Stick by Etude House!

Margaret
