NYX Round Lipsticks

I'M BAAACCCKKK!!! Lol. Sorry for not posting for over 4 months! Been busy with everything so please forgive me. Anyway, this is a quick post about the NYX Round Lipsticks.

L-R: Pure Nude, Tea Rose, Femme, Pumpkin Pie, Mars and Fig

I posted this on my Instagram (cindypurisima) and thought I should make a quick review and swatches of the lipsticks since they're quite nice and really inexpensive too!

Pardon my flaky arm! We went to the beach two weeks ago that's why arm's kind of flaky. Lol

LIKES:
           >Inexpensive.
           >Good color payoff.
           >Wide variety of shades.
           >Not so cheap looking considering it's only P150.

DISLIKES:
           >MELTS LIKE CRAZY!
           >You can get this thru online shops only.

Overall, for P150 this is a really good product. I will definitely repurchase more shades! =)

Fanny Serrano Eyeliners: Gel vs Liquid

Hi guys! I'm back with a review and comparison on Fanny Serrano Gel Eyeliner and Waterproof Liquid Liner. I can say that Fanny Serrano is my favorite local brand. I love their powder and concealer. It is pricier compared to other local brands but it's definitely worth it given that the products are amazing.

Let's start with the Gel Eyeliner (P225).

FS Gel Eyeliner (P225) FS Small Eyeliner Brush (P75)

The product is nicely housed in a glass pot and plastic cover. Obviously, you need to have a separate eyeliner brush in order to use this product. For P225, you'll get a lot of product.

This is quite difficult and messy to use especially if you're not used to applying gel eyeliners. You can see that I've already used this product a lot and I can say that it's okay. This is a lot creamier than the Maybelline one which I think is okay since it's not going to dry up easily.

As you can see, it's kinda hard to achieve a straight, clean line. I'm no expert in applying gel eyeliners so forgive me. But if you can do it perfectly, then good for you. And oh, the most important part, is it smudge proof? Does it stay long? Hmm. I say not really. I have oily lids and it smudges on me after 4 hours given that I used primer underneath. But if you have dry lids, we may have a different experience on this one.

On the other hand, there's FS Long Last Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner which is a little cheaper than the Gel Eyeliner. This is a felt tip liquid liner which of course, easier to use. I have to say that this is my favorite felt tip liner so far. I've been using this everyday since the day I got it.

It's easier to create a thin, clean and straight line with this product. I love it. Okay, is it really waterproof? I say yes. I put my hand in running water and it didn't come off. I have to use soap and rub several times until it's completely invisible. It lasts on me the whole day too.

So obviously, the Liquid Eyeliner won in terms of affordability and quality. Please note that this is my personal opinion and experience. We might have a completely different approach on both products. So ladies, have you tried any of the two? What do you think? :)
