Le Faerie Opaque Lipgloss

Proposal for thesis next week, Reinforced Concrete Design,Feasibility study on Transportation Engineering… and not to mention the tonsof exam next week! Oh gosh! Everyday is a tiring day. I seriously miss sleepingearly. Anyway, Raisa, a friend of mine back in my highschool years and who isalso a reader of my blog told me that she missed my blog. Oh, she’s so sweet! Andbecause of that, no matter how tired I am tonight (should I consider 1am anight? haha! Yes, I’m seriously writing this blog at this time) I will do ablog post tonight then will take pictures tomorrow. Then, upload it as soon asI can.

Today, I will be reviewing the *drumroll* Le FaerieCosmetics Opaque Lipgloss in Dark Nude. This lipgloss is from one of my blogsponsors. You girls should check their site: https://www.facebook.com/#!/lefaerie

Packaging:

Among all the packaging of lipgloss, I would say that thispackaging is my favorite. I prefer this packaging with sponge applicator morethan squeeze tube or click pen type. With this type of packaging, you couldcontrol the amount of products on your lips. 

 The applicator is very decent, stiff and not bendable.

 I like that the ingredients is written in a font that isreadable.

 At the bottom you could see a number which stands for theshade of the lipgloss. 

And the net wt,

Another thing that I like about this is that it has theexpiration date so you’ll be guided when to throw it away.

Product description:

These lipglosses havethe consistency of famous and expensive brands. It has no irritating fruitysmell and flavor, and was specially formulated to blend with all skin colorsand make the lips look pouty.

The Dark Nude(top) is specially formulated to blend with morena ormocha-skinned ladies while the Medium Nude(below) is specially formulated forfair- skinned mestiza or chinita, or those on the lighter shade

Just like what I’ve said earlier, I got mine in shade ofDark Nude. According to the description, this blend with morena ormocha-skinned ladies. Well, my skintone is not really dark. I would say I’m inmedium shade with yellow undertone but I was surprised that the shade works forme. So I guess, this shade can work for any skintone but ofcourse, if you stillhave doubt, you could just purchase Medium nude instead.

The lipgloss is unscented. So, if you hate lipgloss that arescented, this will definitely work for you.

When I first got this, I was really excited. I tried it andwow, I love it! I texted Ms. Bee Yu and told her that I like the effect on mylips plus it doesn’t feel waxy or heavy on my lips. Then, she informed me thatthis lipgloss has no beeswax because she had it removed. I was like, “Ohhh, Ithought beeswax is good since most lipbalms have it.” Then she told me thatbeeswax can be an irritant to sensitive lips. Instead, they use planderivatives as substitute for that so it’s not heavy or has no waxy feel. It’sreally nice that they’re thinking for a way to make this product works foreveryone, right?

Moving on,

 Though, it is opaque when swatched on your hands, it doesn’tappear to be opaque on my lips. I don’t know if it’s because of the color. Itis almost like the color of my lips but only better! The firs swiped onmy lips, it appears to be quite sheer color. I usually do swipe it 2-3x to achieve thecolor I want.

I love the effect! It gives you healthy watery looking lips,reminds me alot of my childhood where i use the oil of letchon for my gloss hahaha. Somehow, reminds me of Maybelline Watershineor maybe, Revlon Crème gloss (but less pigmented and no sparkles/shimmers). 

 If you know me for real or by just reading my blog, you’llknow how much I hate chapped or dried lips. So, this is actually my one of myon-the-go lip products. When I feel like my lips is drying and look weird, Iapply this and voila! Lovely lips!

Take note, this is not a liquid lipstick so don’t expect thepigmentation to be as great as liquid lipsticks or lipsticks. The staying poweris pretty average for a lipgloss too. The color does stays for 1-2 hours withno drinking, eating, biting lips or even kissing but the shine will just stayfor an hour or less. So in short, the shine fades on my lips but the colorwould still be there for few more minutes or hours.
