I noticed that I've been buying a few stuff from Pink Sugar lately. Pink Sugar is a Filipino drugstore make up brand that is both available in malls & online via Beauty MNL.

As I looked into my makeup dresser, I reflected on each item as to why.

Pink Sugar Lip & Cheek Tint

Php 349
Code Red & Purrfect Pout
Long-lasting, highly pigmented and transfer-proof, this lip & cheek tint gives out a matte finish and can last you almost the whole day sans eating oily food. Love the scent too as it smells (and taste) like candy, maybe it is made of sugar? Even if its matte, it doesn't dry out your lips and I also notice that it gradually fades out - not leaving you with a colored line around the lips.


Honey I'm Good Brow Kit

Php 399
Sassy Brown

When it comes to brow kits, I really prefer those in powder form as it gives me more control when applying. It was love at first swatch with this kit, the wax & powder are very pigmented & the staying power is strong. 

Sassy Brown Swatch

Our Lil' Secret Foundation

Php 399
Shade: Medium

It's an all day coverage foundation and it does stay true to its claim. It gives out medium to full coverage and has a yellow undertone, perfect for a Pinay skin. As for its staying power, so far it stays put for the duration of my 8-9 hours work day even without primer. One thing I've noticed though is that it can emphasize dry areas of your skin - so make sure to moisturize or set a primer at least if you have dry areas. 

Our Lil Secret Concealer

Php 349
Shade: Light Medium
With its doe foot applicator, application on trouble areas like the under eye is a breeze. I love how blend-able the formula is & great in covering up dark areas as soon as you find the right match of shade.

So yep, enjoying so far the Pink Sugar products because I get what I pay for. I love how it is readily available in malls & how helpful their sales assistants are in guiding you on what shade to get & how to use their products. Sometimes we stereotype local products for giving us low quality but learn to explore, try out this brand & be surprised -- in a good way.

I love Revlon lipsticks as they always deliver. I've already purchased & re-purchased a few of them and here's an addition to my Revlon crew - Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color.

From the Revlon Web Site: "Lightweight, high definition velvety matte color. Moisturizing, velvety feel. 100% wax-free, gel formula."
 
I purchased this at Landmark inside Trinoma Mall (Quezon City area) for a discounted price of Php 525.00 each. If you only buy 1, price is at Php 575.00 but since I bought two, I got it for Php 1,050 total. The sales lady said that the Php 575 is just their introductory price and will eventually sell for 600+ in a few days. The two shades I got are

I was not supposed to buy lipstick (yet) since I just recently purchased 2 from Dose of Colors, but when I swatched & tried them - I couldn't resist not getting them. Here are the reasons why it was love at first swatch:
  • smells like bubble gum; for those who does not like scents on their lipstick - don't worry because it does not linger
  • pigmented
  • creamy application; I had slight chapped lips that day but it did not highlight it after application
  • unique packaging - matte, flat and round edge
I've been constantly using them for days now and below are my observation so far:
  • long-wearing even after eating/drinking fluids; I do touch-ups only after a 4-5 hours but generally color stays long on the lips.
  • does not flake and not drying even after a few hours of wear
  • at first it gives you a glossy finish, then turns to a creamy finish then it transitions to a matte finish
  • combining the two colors give a more natural, lips-but-better look
  • Devotion - streaky application (maybe because of its light color?) but buildable. I actually prefer wearing this as my everyday wear if used alone.

This product is a definite repurchase and I highly recommend.
