Review : Maybelline The Nudes & Velvet Matte

Hi lovelies! Today i’m bringing you another DRUGSTORE product review, isn’t it exciting?:D For detailed review, swatches, and demo/tutorial please watch my video below : https://youtu.be/XUv_NfgLjes Since my last post is pretty lengthy, i’m gonna keep this one short and sweet. Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

The colors are gorgeous. I thought the gold one will be dupe for UD Half Baked but it is not pigmented :( Pros : Affordable Price, Rp 150,000.00 Available on Maybelline counters. Small and lightweight packaging. The eyeshadows are well chosen, 7 shimmer with 5 mattes ranging from light, medium, to dark shades. Eyeshadow quality is medium in my opinion. Not wow but not blah. Cons : You need to wear primer if you want this eyeshadow to stay all day. You need to take your time on blending. Not the most creamy eyeshadow but not too powdery either. Few eyeshadows are not pigmented. Overall : I think this palette is great for its price, if you are a beginner this is perfect. It’s affordable, full of neutral shades, and it has guidance for several makeup look on the back of this palette. Not the best eyeshadows (IMO) but not terrible either. 2. Maybelline Velvet Matte

Pros : Pigmented and not patchy. Applicator made application easy. Creamy and doesn’t dried out my lips. Cute packaging, resembles the elixirs a lot. Wear time, around 4 hours. Cons : Is not smudgeproof This is not like liquid lipsticks so don’t expect it too stay all day. Overall: I really liked this product, would recommend to someone that has dry lips but want a semi-matte finish. Since the texture is more creamy, it is comfortable to wear. That is for today’s post i hope this was helpful 😉 have a good day off! xo’s Nadya – urbanbeaute.com

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm & Balm Stain Review

Happy Friday everyone! Today I am going to review a lip product from Revlon! Lately every makeup brands are coming out with a lot of lip product, that’s why I’m going to review more on lippies this week. Selamat Hari Jumat semuaa! Hari ini aku akan review dua produk dari Revlon. Akhir akhir ini aku lihat brand brand makeup banyak yang ngeluarin produk bibirnya, jadi aku bakal review banyak produk pewarna bibir minggu minggu ini.

UPDATE 23 JUNE 2015 I got new shade of the matte balm! These are Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm and Balm Stain. They are two similar products but also a bit different. The similarity is they are a balm type of product, so obviously, both of them are moisturizing and won’t dried out your lips. The difference is Matte Balm has Matte finish, when Balm Stain is more sheer, natural, and glossy. Ini adalah Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm dan Balm Stain. Dua produk ini mirip tapi punya sedikit perbedaan juga. Kesamaannya adalah keduanya itu balm, yang mana akan melembabkan bibir. Perbedaannya Matte Balm itu Matte, sedangkan Balm Stain lebih glossy dan tipis pigmentasinya. First, let’s talk about the packaging. It kinda reminds me of a crayon because it looks like a big lip pencil to me, similar to Clinique’s Chubby Stick. It is retractable so you won’t have to keep sharpening it. The color of the packaging match the color of the product inside, so it will be easier for you to choose the color. Matte Balm has Matte packaging and Balm Stain has glossier packaging. Pertama, kita lihat packagingnya. Menurut aku agak kayak krayon ya karena bentuknya seperti pensil bibir tapi besar, mirip chubby stick nya Clinique. Gausah repot ngeraut karena bisa diputar untuk ngeluarin produknya. Warna packagingnya juga sama kayak warna produknya jadi gampang untuk milih warnanya. Kalau yang Matte Balm packagingnya Matte juga, yang Balm Stain packagingnya lebih glossy. Now let’s move to the product itself, as I said before they are moisturizing for your lips. Both of them has a decent staying power, I feel like after a while the Balm Stain gloss will go away but it does stain on your lips. It is not touch proof whatsoever but I find both of them last 4-5 hours on me. It has minty scent and feel to it, which I don’t like because it gives you a mint and cool sensation on your lips. I find that it gives me tingly feeling on my dry lips, but it does goes away after 5 minutes or so. My friends don’t mind the mint though so it depends on your personal preferences. Matte Balm is more pigmented than Balm Stain since it is matte. Here are some swatches: Sekarang produknya sendiri ya, seperti yang udah aku bilang ini sangat moisturizing. Ketahanan warnanya lumayan bagus, kalau yang Balm Stain setelah beberapa lama kamu aplikasikan gloss nya akan hilang dan bakal ninggalin stain di bibir kayak kalau kamu pake lip tint. Di aku kedua produk ini tahan sekitar 4-5 jam. Ada wangi mint di produknya, bahkan pas di aplikasikan bibir kamu bakal kerasa dingin dingin ala sensasi mint gitu. Aku sih kurang suka ya, tapi rasa ini bakal ilang setelah sekitar 5 menit kok. Temen temen aku yang pake ini juga ga keganggu sama sensasi mint ini, jadi ya balik lagi tergantung kamunya. Matte Balm itu pigmentasinya lebih bagus daripada Balm Stain karena dia Matte sedangkan yang Balm lebih ke gloss/stain. Ini swatches nya :

Complex (Matte Balm)

Complex (Matte Balm) is a light warmer nude. I feel since it is a nude, it is a bit flaky and not as smooth when I apply it. It accentuate my dry lips. So if you have dry lips like me I recommend you exfoliate before or just try the brighter color. But I actually love the color! Complex (Matte Balm) adalah warna nude yang tone nya warm jadi lebih ke orange daripada ke pink. Mungkin karena ini warnanya muda banget, jadi bibir aku yang kering malah tambah kelihatan setelah pakai ini. Kurang smooth gitu pas diaplikasiin agak streaky. Jadi kalau kamu bibirnya kering mungkin coba exfoliate dulu sebelum pakai ini atau pilih warna yang lebih tua aja. Tapi sebenernya aku suka warna ini. Elusive (Matte Balm)

Elusive (Matte Balm) I lovee this shade! It’s a neutral mid-tone pink, it’s not too warm and not to cool. This color really brightens my face. Elusive (Matte Balm) Aku sukaaaa banget warna ini, karena warnanya netral dan tone nya di tengah tengah. Ga terlalu terang tapi ga nude, warnanya ga terlalu hangat tapi juga ga terlalu dingin. Warna ini bikin mukaku kelihatan lebih cerah dan fresh. Honey (Balm Stain)

Honey (Balm Stain) is a mauve-y pink. It is actually a bit darker than the color of the tube. This gives me a natural gloss at first, but it leaves a beautiful reddish pink stain after a while. This color is so natural looking, i think it will suits a lot of skin tones. Honey (Balm Stain) adalah warna pink agak keunguan (mauve). Agak lebih gelap dibanding warna tube nya. Warna ini bakal ninggalin stain warna pink kemerahan di bibir kamu. Warna ini natural banget jadi menurut aku cocok untuk hampir semua warna kulit. Pros : Moisturizing Retractable Good lasting power lovely variet of shades/color Cons : Mint SensationOverall : I love this! Will be looking out for the other color for my collection xo’s Nadya

Emina Cosmetics Review

Hi lovelies! So i got a lot of emina cosmetics products from emina around the world event. I decided to review all of it for you guys. Emina is Indonesian local brand, the newest sister of Wardah and MakeOver. You can find it on sociolla.com or on your local drugstores. So let’s just jump in to the review. https://youtu.be/3A0mIW6Q8to

City Chic CC Cake Retail Price : Rp 44,000

It’s a cc cream in a powder formula, it has natural coverage does not look cakey, does not intensify the look of dry spots, and kept me matte for about 2-3 hours. They have 4 different shades which is awesome because it’a ranging from light pinkish shade to darker yellow undertone shade perfect for Indonesian brown / “sawo matang” skintone. I got the lightest shade, meringue, and it’s too light and too pink on me. I think peach or butterscotch would match me better. My favorite way of using this is just by itself, i don’t really like layering foundation / bb cream with a two way cake powder or something like this cc cake because if i’m not being careful it can look a bit cakey.

It comes with a mirror and a place for you to store your makeup sponge.

Star Lash Aqua Mascara This is the most natural mascara i have in my collection. I do not like this because it doesn’t give me the volume and length i want and it’s more of a wet formula making it easy to clump and smudge. But i forgive emina because this is their first mascara 😉

Pop Rouge Pressed Eyeshadow Retail Price : Rp 39,500

I got gelato and blue mini palettes. Each has one matte color and 2 shades with shimmer/sheen. It is not glittery or metallic, the lightest shade on gelato can even make a great highlighter in my opinion. The pigmentation and quality is good for its price. It is not the most creamy or buttery eyeshadow i have tried but again for its price, these really do a good job. Gelato Matte Warm Dark Brown Shimmery Medium Pink Shimmery Peachy-Bronze

Blue Matte-Satin Dark Blue Shimmery Medium Sea Blue Shimmery Icy Light Blue

Agent of Brow Eyebrow Pencil I have used the brown color so much! The black color is just too dark for my brown hair. I like it because it stays all day and has the perfect texture, not too creamy but not too hard. I wish it comes in more shades but hey most Indonesian girls used black and brown eyebrow pencil anyway.

Eyedo! Eyeliner Pencil You have to really warm up the product before using it, if not it won’t give you the best pigmentation. Once it has warmed up, it’s so creamy and glides so easily on your skin. Won’t stay well on your waterline but stays all day on your lid, just make sure not to rub your eyes because it is not smudge proof. Purple – Matte Warm Purple (border line plum) Brown – Matte Medium Brown Blue – Matte Bright Blue Gold – Shimmery Light Sheer Gold Black – Matte Black

My Favorite Things Lip Balm Stain Retail price : Rp 48,000 These are lip balm stain, it is pigmented, moisturizing, and stays well. The only thing i don’t like is the scent. It has watermelon scent, some people like it tho it’s just my preference. And also it’s not smudgeproof or kissproof so be aware of that. I find it fade (not crack) after i eat or drink. But without eating, i would say these stays on my lips for 3-4 hours. Librarian Queen – Soft Pinky Mauve. Lovee this for daily makeup.

Socialite Queen – Medium Pink. This color really brightens up my complexion.

Shopaholic Queen – Bright Fuchsia. It’s a bright color but not over the top.

Summer Queen – Deeper Orange/Coral. So summery and bright.

Picnic Queen – Light Yellowy Orange. It’s my least fav shade (at least on me)

Dancing Queen – Neutral to Warm Red. Loooove this shade of red

Overall, i think emina is a good brand for you that just started makeup. It’s affordable, has good quality, and the colors just perfect for young teenage out there. I wouldn’t say that this is the best of the best drugstore brand out there, but this is quite good. Some of the products performs well (especially for that price!) plus have i mentioned that they packaging is so darn cute?! That’s all i have to say in today’s blogpost, thank you for coming in and have a nice day. xo’s Nadya Aqilla.
