Rouge à Lèvres - Dior Addict de Christian Dior. A Review.

This is how the packaging looks like.. I kind of like how fancy it looks. Like, kind of sheer and yeah. I like like. And it's not because it's Dior or whatsoever.

I actually just tested it awhile ago and for some reason, I'm ready to review it.


I like how they actually let you choose how to apply it. Like, I love how it shouts FREEDOM of some sort. LOL. But with this particular color, it's actually better with kind of a lot of layers. 


I actually like how smooth it applies on the skin. Like, you won't even feel the friction or anything like that. Like, I guess that's the way to go. I don't really like its color pay off though. But given other color, everything should be fine. Well, probably. I think generally, purple is just not the color for me. And as you can see from the swatch above, the color does not actually apply evenly. Like, there would be some ares where you have to reapply the product just because it appears lighter than the other. That's all! 

Nailed it. Pearly Shell.

Nailed it. Pearly Shell.
It's been like a week I guess. Like, since I painted my nails. I gave my nails a rest yesterday and today, I decided to paint them with another color. Since I came across the idea somewhere that when always painted with DARK COLORS, our nails have a tendency to become yellow which by the way happened a lot to me before. I didn't know back then that it was the reason behind it. I just though that my nails needed to rest and stuff. I mean, chemicals are chemicals right? So yeah, I picked up the lightest color available.


And just like what I do with the rest of my nail looks, I add glitters! I actually tried it without the glitters since it's kind of sheer and shiny already on its own but I thought adding the gold glitters will really finish off the look.


And then I added more glitters because I had the feeling that it's not all even and stuff. Which I know is hard to do by the way. MAKING GLITTERS EVEN. But yeah I just followed what my instinct told me. Okay whatever.


It's actually kind of hard to focus the camera when all the glitters' are reflecting light and stuff. But I hope you can see thru that the base color is really really pretty.

Victoria Jackson Lip Addiction Lip Balm Quartet. Review.

Victoria Jackson Lip Addiction Lip Balm Quartet. Review.
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. :)
