Victoria Jackson Lip Addiction Lip Balm Quartet. Review.

Victoria Jackson Review November 03, 2012 0

After trying these for some time, I decided to make a quick review. Nothing extensive. Maybe I've used these stuff for like two to three times each and so yeah. Let's go!

So here's how mine exactly looks like. The label kind of messed up by itself already. But it doesn't really matter.

I researched a little bit and in the Philippines, it retails for like 960-ish php. Like, you get the four thingy already. Do I think it's worth the price? Not quite. Not that I don't like it though. But I just don't think it's worth 200-ish php each. It also comes with a lip brush which is not that great by the way. I would have appreciated 4 brushes though. NO IDEA.

It actually doesn't have a name for each color. Or probably just the Japanese version. No idea. Like at the bottom, each just says Victoria Jackson and then Lip Addiction Lip Balm. But anyways.

I also prepared a swatch. Yay!

My favorite would probably be the second one. Both swatch and real thing. Like, the first one is kind of orange-y and the last two are kind of so-so. Very neutral.

I actually like the balmy consistency and how soft it feels on my lips. It's quite long lasting too. It's so non-sticky which is great and as you can see, it's quite pigmented. Yay for MOISTURE!

One thing I don't like about it though. Well, except for the price! It's quite messy to apply and all that. I mean, compared to a regular chapstick or your typical lip gloss, you have to have something for you to apply it hygienically to your lips. I mean, it's not always a good idea to scoop your product and apply it to your lips. Especially LIPS! So yeah! And who has time for lip brushes when on the go? That's all. :)

Victoria Jackson. A Review.

Victoria Jackson October 06, 2012 1

First of all, you have to know that I am not a professional when it comes to this things so you could probably agree with me or disagree completely. It's like that take it or leave it thingy. And I don't mind. Thank you very much.

Let's get started.

I actually promised to bring you this review so yeah. :)) This is what it looks like. From the very look of it, I thought there wouldn't be much inside and stuff but yeah, it actually contains a little more than what I've expected. I don't know whether it was mom or auntie who gave this to me but THANKS. I appreciate it.

I actually tried to picture this same stuff yesterday (night) but nah, didn't work out so the brushes look like that and the colors that you will be seeing below are kind of messed up and stuff. The eyeliner is jet black! It's creamy and nice. The MASCARA is my favorite! It gives you length and volume. It's just awesome. I actually tried to use the brushes provided but they're just not so helpful. The blush brush helped a little bit though. Okay, they all helped a little bit.

What I like about their eye shadow colors is that they have it in matte and a different tray for shimmers. Although it would have been better that the range of color is similar, but then the taught is there. It can't all be shimmery or matte. In my opinion though, matte is kind of more workable than shimmers. But whatever. Among the lot, the coral/orange is my least favorite because it's actually not true to its color when swatched or applied. The rest are okay. I actually used the brown in the matte tray as contour and it's fab. The super light pink (first tray) is gorgeous for highlight.

This is the shimmer section! As much as I like the colors here better, I am just not convinced of shimmers. It looks girly, pretty, yes. But for someone like me who doesn't know how to put them on properly, it gets messy. SOMETIMES. But I'll get to it. Soon.

The white though is awesome for highlight. And I used the darkest color for my brows but it's just so overwhelming. Or maybe my brows are kind of bushy already so I probably didn't need to add some dark things to it already.

Lip products! I actually like its color range but as you may already know, I don't like putting much on my lips. I like balms though. But yeah, I like how they have the coolest to the warmest color. Good thinking.

Blushes! This blushes really do their job so you better be careful with them. In a good way though.

And it comes with a sharpener! Obviously, for the lip and eye liner. And it comes with two rectangular mirrors. One just above the blushes and one right at the center of the compact.

The lights washed the colors away but whatever. LOL.

We washed off the color on a regular digital camera so we don't have to expect much on iPhone's camera, right? Good. Not complaining.

That's all! :)

So these are what my sisters/auntie gave me as a present! SO BLESSED TO HAVE THEM. :D

Random stuff! :) I love randomness.

Some phone stuff! Love the "M and S" ear phone plug! <3

Stickers! Can I just say that I used to collect stickers as a child? What did you collect as a child?

Make up! Victoria Jackson compact make up thingy is love! It looks like a walkie-talkie though. Hahaha might do a review on it in the future.

Baby Shoop thingy! My auntie is a big fan of Baby Shoop and she kind of already gave me a lot of Baby Shoop product in the past. Might do a separate post about it soon! :D I love their bags! OMG.

DOG FOOD! :)

AWESOME! RIGHT? I'm so excited to actually use this. Although I am really a novice when it comes to sewing and stuff! I don't know what to do first with it though. Design my handkerchiefs perhaps? Mmmm....
