Lipstick Reviews Series: Shu Uemura Tint In Gelato


Hello my lovely readers!

I have a huge crush on lip and cheek products, shades from red to coral, pink, light hue of orange,… Oh dear I just can’t get enough!




As life is getting busier, these days we prefer multi-use products because of its convenience. There are so many similar products on the market; however, Shu Uemura Tint In Gelato is the one you should try this Spring – Summer 2015.

As I said this is a multi-use product, don’t confuse yourself by the packaging. These days you can never tell because packaging can be so deceiving. Gone are the days when it was only lip gloss that came packaged like this. So yes, here come another 2 in 1 lips and cheeks tint! But don’t get the wrong idea, Shu Uemura is definitely not just-another-one kind of things, and I’m going to tell you why.






Overall about the packaging, Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato has a simple yet elegant design. The wand and brush is a soft, doe-foot applicator, which makes it easy to apply on the lip and cheeks as well.



Tint in Gelatos come in 12 shades and are said to be part of the permanent range with just two colours being limited edition, BG01 and AT04 (a warm orange with gold shimmer). The color range is quite diversified, there’s something for every skin tone and favorite. For reference, the one I review today is shade AT01 Cassis Delight, which is a classy and bold red color with neutral undertones, so it would be perfect for every skin tone. The color is very pigmented, and I find the AT01 color so bright and bold that I would rarely use for my makeup look. Anyway, it stills a good idea for those who wearing red lip almost every day. And other colors in the range look so nice and pretty, I’m so excited to try them all.




Now let’s talk about the texture. The lipstick glides on smoothly and it doesn’t feel sticky on my lips which is a good thing. Because of being a multi-use product, Tint In Gelato has a fresh and creamy gelato-like unique formula magically changes from a thick to a thin layer for variations of finish: from intense dewy to soft matte finish.Thin layer gives a semi-matte look with a natural sheen finish, while delicate layering gives more intense color payoff. I, personally find thin layer is the way to go, just gently dab it on your lips and blend it out. A little goes a very long way. On special occasion, when you want your look to be bright and bold, you can apply right from the lipstick to get an intense dewy finish (as you can see in photos below)






I tried Tint In Gelato on a night out to test their long-lasting feature. Afterward, I find this doesn’t very long-lasting since I have to retouch during the night. However, it’s completely fine by me as I’m not looking a lipstick that stay on all day and difficult to remove (which I find it a little bit annoying), and yeah I’m willing to touch up my lipstick during the day.

In general, I love this Shu Uemura Tint In Gelato is worth trying and the price is more affordable than other department brand (around $28). I’ve tried the Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll Kiss & Blush ($40), and I don’t see much different between these two, the formulas are pretty much identical.


Have you tried these yet? Share your thoughts with me in the comment below cause I’m going to try other color from the range, any suggestion?

LIPSTICK REVIEWS SERIES: Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer


Hey guys,

It's been ages since the last time I posted. Since my last semester was insanely busy, I barely have time to write blog and share all my beauty stuffs with you guys. But I'm so glad it's over now, and here come the best time of the year S-U-M-M-E-R !!



So today I'm going to share with you my thoughts about the new lipstick line from CLINIQUE which is the CLINIQUE Pop Lip Colour + Primer. There are 16 shades in this collection and they are all simply beautiful. As usual, Clinique's products are 100% fragrance freehttps://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png and allergy tested. They're quite affordable as far as higher end lipsticks go, at $18/piece from Sephora and 490.000 VND in stores, Vietnam.



I have to say that I fell in love with the packaging as soon as I spotted it in store. The packaging is so cute and it's quite functional too. The cap boasts a chrome-like finish that I find it very convenient for on-the-go touchups because it acts as a tiny mirror (anyway, I still have a compact mirror in my makeup bag all the time, but you know just in case). 





And here’s my experience. The first time I tried, I applied it right from the lipstick. The lipstick goes on smoothly and applies evenly and opaque, I’d have to say. The formula is very creamy and quite hydrating, even after they dry down to a satin finish. However, it does dry my lips a bit, I have to touch up some lip balm during the day. The color is so pigmented. For reference, this shade is 06 Poppy Pop, which is a fun, bright orangey red color. I really like the semi-matte finish which makes the color pop even more. I find this lipstick is very long-lasting that I don’t need to retouch as much unless I'm out the whole day.

I'm not sure about the all-in-one aspect of this lipstick, with its claims of having a built-in primer. I don't really notice much difference in how long these wear or how smoothing they are compared to other creamy satin lipsticks. I always use lip balm as a base anyway.

As far as I’m concerned, I can’t wait to pick up and try more shades from this line. Nude Pop, Melon Pop and Passion Pop are on my radar.


Have you tried the new Clinique Pop Lip Colour & Primer? Let me know your thoughts in the comment below.





Love yourself more and always be beautiful.

& Have fun with makeup!

Fall / Winter Makeup Look (for beginners): Classic Red Lip



Xin chào các bạn!

Đây là một video makeup mới của mình. Makeup look này mang hơi hướng Thu Đông với tone màu trầm ấm kết hợp với son môi đỏ. Video này khác với video trước, đây là phong cách trang điểm dành cho ban đêm và sẽ phù hợp cho các bạn khi đi tiệc tối, đặc biệt là tiệc tùng cho đêm Noel sắp tới. Makeup look này rất đơn giản và dễ thực hiện, đặc biệt dành cho những ai không muốn tốn quá nhiều thời gian cho việc trang điểm khi đi dự tiệc, hoặc những bạn mới biết trang điểm.

Trong video mình đã làm trước phần trang điểm nền (từ bước #1 - #4), phần hướng dẫn bắt đầu với bước #5.





#1 – MOISTURIZERS 

Lancôme


Shiseido

#2 – PRIMER

Benefit Cosmetics

#3 – FOUNDATION

Revlon

#4 – POWDER

Shiseido

#5 – BROWS

Shu Uemura

Trước khi kẻ chân mày, mình dùng cọ như trong video (không biết cọ này gọi là gì nữa, chắc là cọ chải chân mày?) để chải phần chân mày hướng lên trên.

Sau đó, mình dùng chì kẻ chân mày của Shu Uemura và bắt đầu kẻ từ phần giữa chân mày cho tới đuôi chân mày. Nếu đuôi chân mày của bạn hơi ngắn, giống như mình, bạn có thể kẻ thêm phần đuôi cho chân mày trông dài và đẹp hơn. Phần đầu chân mày sẽ là phần kẻ nhạt nhất để trông tự nhiên hơn.

Cuối cùng, mình dùng cọ chải lại theo dáng chân mày để phần chì vừa kẻ đều màu và trông tự nhiên hơn.

#6 – EYES

Cách trang điểm mắt trong makeup look này sẽ giúp bạn tạo hiệu ứng mắt khói siêu đơn giản và dễ làm chỉ với 2 shade màu cơ bản.


The Balm


Mình dùng phấn mắt màu số 1 (ở đằng sau hộp phấn mắt có đánh số các màu từ 1 đến 4 í) tô toàn bộ phần mí mắt để làm nền, và một chút phần xương chân mày.

Sau đó dùng màu số 4 tô lên phần đuôi mắt, và tán thật đều để tạo hiệu ứng mắt khói. Dùng phấn highlighter để làm sáng phần hốc mắt, sau đó tán đều ra đến phần giữa mắt.

Cuối cùng, mình kẹp bấm mi và sau đó chải mascara.

#7 – BLUSH

Estee Lauder
Pure Color Blush in Peach Passion (alternative)

Với tone màu ấm, mình dùng phấn má hồng màu Petal của Estee Lauder, hoặc bạn có thể dùng phấn má hồng khác tone màu từ coral đến peachy pink đều hợp cả.

#8 – HIGHLIGHTER

The Balm

Read the full reviews here.

Vì là makeup look cho những buổi tiệc tối, nên mình dùng một chút hightlighter để làm sáng vùng chữ T và hai bên xương gò má.

#9 – LIPS

Lancôme
LE LIPSTIQUE Lip Colouring Stick with Brush – Natural Mauve (alternative)

Dior
Dior Addict Fluid Stick – 551 Aventure

F/W makeup look tất nhiên không thể thiếu son môi đỏ. Bạn có thể dùng màu son đỏ khác mà bạn thích. Mình dùng Dior Fluid Stick màu 551 Aventure, tone màu đỏ cam, bright coral red. Vì mình không hợp với màu son đỏ cho lắm nên mình dùng cọ môi để màu son nhạt hơn, nếu apply trực tiếp từ cây son thì màu sẽ đậm hơn nhé.




Love yourself more and always be beautiful.


& Have fun with makeup!
