Product Review : Make Over Trivia Eye Shadow in Indian Summer

Hello guys! Today i’ll be reviewing Make Over Trivia Eye Shadow, specifically the one called Indian Summer. If you want more a short and quick review, please watch my video down here : https://youtu.be/pWYvhv9KjyY This is how the packaging looks :

It has decent sized mirror inside plus it comes with a double-sided sponge applicator. I love all MakeOver products’ packaging and this one is not an exception! There are 3 colors inside :

Left to Right (Toast-Rich Brown-Vibrant) Toast is a light pink with satin finish. It has shimmer in it but nothing near metallic finish. This color is not light enough to be a highlight for my skin tone. Rich Brown is a muted warm brown (contrary with its name). It’s a middle color so it’s not dark enough to give my eye look definition. It has satin finish with minimal amount of shimmer/glitter. Vibrant is a vibrant redish-orange or we, Indonesian, called it Jingga. Love love love this color. It’s matte, warm, and bright. All the colors are pigmented, creamy, blendable, and doesn’t have fall out when applied. It lasted all day on my lid without any eye primer used. I use toast on my inner corner, rich brown on my outer corner, and toast all over my lid plus i blend this color to my crease. Freshly applied (around 12 pm)

Around 6 pm

All the colors were still there after 6 hours. PRO Great Packaging Comes with mirror & sponge applicator High Quality of Shadows CON The trio is lacking a highlight & definition color. All 3 colors are more in the middle range, even the light pink is not light enough for highlight (on my skin tone) That is for now, i hope you guys find this review helpful and see you on my next post! xo’s Nadya.

ColourPop Lippie Stix Review and Swatches (Frida, Gossip, Leather)

Hello gorgeous! Today i will be reviewing the ColourPop Lippie Stix for you. But before i’m going to the review, i want to announce that i make videos on youTube now! Go check out my first video on the “No Makeup” Makeup Look after reading this blog post please :*

ColourPop is an online brand based on Los Angeles, USA. Their website currently only ships to USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, since i live in Indonesia I have to get this babies from online distributors, specifically from mooishe.com and @dejoyofmakeup (instagram). Both online distributors are trusted and they packaged my order neatly and secure. The prize range is from IDR 115,000 to IDR 125,000. Another plus, ColourPop products are cruelty free and not tested on animals. THE REVIEW First, packaging. The Lippie Stix are packaged in a white simple tube, the size is perfect for you take on the go. On the bottom of the tube there is a color swatch so you can tell which color it is without opening the tube. The tip of the lipstick is small and perfectly shaped for the cupid’s bow, it makes the application so much easier. The product is only 1 g, compared to other lipstick (which usually 3-4 g) you don’t get a lot of product but this is an affordable product ($5 on their website) so i guess it’s worth the money (if you live where they ship directly to you of course). For comparison, i insert a pic of a regular Maybelline Lipstick (4.3 grams) side by side with the Lippie Stix

The product itself has great quality, they are so creamy (even the matte!) , smooth, non-drying, long wearing, and pigmented formula. The matte ones stayed on my lips for 6-7 hours, the satin ones stayed for around 4 hours. The matte one is not completely matte, they do have the slightest shine but this makes them creamy, smooth, and doesn’t tug or drag when applied. Overall i’m impressed with the formula. oh and they do have some sweet scent to them. Swatches

Frida (satin)

Frida is a mixed of peach and pink. A perfect nude that won’t make you look sick! This is my personal favorite, this color is created by CoffeeBreakWithDani Gossip (satin)

Gossip is a bright blue-based pink. I like to call this kind of shade “Barbie Pink”, on my warm skin tone this almost look like a purple-pink. Leather (matte)

Leather is a dark purple/grape color. It is one shade darker than MAC Rebel and a bit more purple. This one will leaves a beautiful berry stain on your lips. OVERALL THOUGHTS I really love this ColourPop Lippie Stix but I wish the prize is not that high.. 5 dollars is like IDR 65,000 but it retails here (as i said) around IDR 115,000 so it is not that “affordable” here in Indonesia than it is in USA. I understand that it is because shipping and etc but for that amount of product i really don’t want to pay that much since Maybelline, Revlon, and Wardah lipsticks are cheaper, give more amount of product and also has a good quality. Yeah so that is my review, i think the ColourPop Lippie Stix is worth the hype and worth checking out! Have a nice day, xo’s Nadya.

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain Review and Swatches

Hello friends! Welcome to another lippies review on urbanbeaute.com Kali ini yang akan aku bicarain adalah Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain. Produk ini punya keunikan tersendiri nih karena mempunyai kelebihan kelebihan dari lipgloss lipstick lipbalm dan lipstain. Moisture Stain ini pigmented seperti lipstick jadi sekali ulas warna nya udah kelihatan, punya shine / gloss seperti lipgloss, moisturizing atau melembabkan bibir seperti lipbalm, dan akan meninggalkan stain atau efek warna natural di bibir kamu seperti lipstain. Keren kan? Here is what the Revlon’s website says about The Moisture Stain : A new level of glossy wet color. Saturated lips with brilliant shine and vivid color. Available in 12 luscious shades. Drenches lips in glossy wet color Ultra-light creamy lipstain with Vitamin E and Aloe 88% of women felt lips were instantly moisturized without stickiness PACKAGING Packaging dari Moisture Stain ini bentuknya seperti balok persegi panjang, menurutku agak makan tempat sih karena kotak tapi memang jadi unik. Warna kemasannya sama dengan warna produk didalamnya, seperti yang aku selalu bilang ini aku suka banget karena memudahkan untuk memilih warnanya. Isi produknya adalah 0.27 Fl Oz/8.0 mL. Untuk aplikatornya berbentuk seperti ini :

Aplikator sponge ini flat dan meruncing di ujungnya, jadi gampang pas dipake ke bibir apalagi bagian cupid’s bow (area runcing berbentuk huruf “M” di tengah bibir atas). SWATCHES

Ada 12 warna di koleksi produk Moisture Stain ini, yang aku punya adalah Barcelona Nights. Barcelona Nights ini warnanya bright pink dan tone nya warm jadi kalau dilihat lihat pink nya agak merah, seperti raspberry. Cocoknya sih warna ini di deskripsikan sebagai Raspberry Pink. Menurut aku warna ini cocok untuk kulit putih cerah, kulit kuning langsat seperti aku sampai kulit agak gelap seperti sawo matang. This suits a lot of skin tones in my opinion. This leaves a soft pink stain on my lips. PRODUCT Tekstur dari Revlon Moisture Stain ini agak thick atau lebih kental dibanding liquid lipstick, menurut aku teksturnya mirip lip gloss tapi ga lengket, agak balmy gitu. Pas pertama kali beli sih agak lebih liquid-y ya teksturnya tapi lama kelamaan jadi lebih seperti balm. Karena teksturnya itu, pas diaplikasikan agak susah supaya rata, tapi ini bisa kamu ratain pakai jari kamu kok. Produk ini pigmented dan long lasting. Warna dan gloss nya bisa tahan 2-3 jam dan selanjutnya warna dan gloss nya memudar dan meninggalkan stain. Stain ini bisa tahan sekitar 3-4 jam. Total nya produk ini bisa tahan selama 5-7 jam. Benar-benar all in one! Moisture Stain ini bisa kasih shine tanpa lengket dan bisa tahan lama sekaligus melembutkan bibir. Lipstick+Lipgloss+Lipstain+Lipbalm! This retails for IDR 89,000 di counter-counter Revlon. Kalau kamu seseorang yang cari suka lipgloss tapi benci lengketnya atau butuh pewarna bibir yang melembutkan juga, aku sangat merekomendasikan produk ini. What i don’t like is, sometimes it can be a lil patchy and uneven due to its texture tapi cuma sedikit kok dan seperti aku bilang bisa diratain dengan jari sebelum produknya set atau kering. But overall i love this, i would give a 4 out of 5 stars! xo’s Nadya.

Pros : Moisturizing Leaves a stain Pigmented Beautiful Shades Long lasting Cons : A bit patchy sometimes Bulky packaging

Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil & Color My Brows Review

Hello Everyone! This time i will be reviewing two eyebrow products from Etude House, Drawing Eye Brow Pencil and Color My Brow, Brow Mascara.

For so long i’ve been on a quest to find an eyebrow pencil that will give me a natural look, and also a brow mascara to color my brow lighter so it will match my dyed hair. I really hope this two products can give me that. I got this products from Rakuten for a really affordable price, i belive the drawing eye brow costs about IDR 30,000 and the Color My Brows costs about IDR 70,000. The claim on the Etude House Websites are : Drawing Eye Brow, Soft textured eyebrow pencil comes with various color variants to match the color of skin and hair, giving it a natural and neat. Color My Brows, A mascara only for eyebrow to keep its layer neat and give natural but urbane color. What it does Hide dark & black brow: Providing natural and clear brow colors by hiding its own dark color. Easy & Quick brow coloring: Quickly dried to make brow layer and color fixed even while re-applying. Brow care: Allantoin, Beeswax, Carnauba wax provide nutrition and moisture on skin and brow. 1. Drawing Eye Brow : a. Packaging Packaging is so simple and really makes it easy for us. This product is double ended, it has the product on one end and a spoolie brush on the other end. I love that this is retractable, and the packaging makes the product comes out flat and thin rather that rounded as you can see in the picture below.

b. Product This eyebrow pencil is a bit hard in texture, which i prefer because it gives a softer strokes of color when applied. If an eyebrow pencil is soft and creamy, i think it can makes you overdrawn your eyebrow if you’re not careful. I like a creamy eyeliner because i want my eyeliner to look “there” but for eyebrow i prefer this texture because i like my eyebrow to looks more natural. I got the shades Gray Brown, which is a neutral dark brown. This is perfect for a brunette like me. There are 6 shades, dark brown, gray brown, brown, dark gray, gray, and black. The other browns looks quite warmer and reddish and there is no shades for lighter hair. The lightest shade is no 3 which is a medium warm brown. Since it is a Korean Brands i feel the shades is more suitable for Asian that usually have darker hair color. 2. Color My Brows a. Packaging The size of the products is 0.15 oz. / 4.5 g. Quite small and easy to put in your purse. The applicator is a medium size, i do wish it is smaller so it can be more precise but i think this size is fine. b. Product I got the darkest shade which is Rich Brown, this is a medium warm brown with some red tone in it. This one has lighter shades but still leans more to a warmer tone. There are 5 shades to choose, Rich Brown, Light Brown, Red Brown, Natural Brown, and Blondie Brown. From the picture on the website, i think the coolest shade is Natural Brown but unfortunately it is quite light for my dark hair. As the website says, it covers and color my black brow and make it lighter. It dries pretty quick and it also helps sets the brows so it last longer. If you already have naturally thick eyebrow, you can use this on its own it will look natural since you are just coloring your eyebrow and didn’t draw them on. However, if you have little hair in your brow i recommend you use this after using an eyebrow pencil or powder to color and set your brow. I don’t feel its moisturizing my brows but i didn’t expect a brow mascara to be. When i first swatches it on my hand i realize shimmer on this product, luckily it didn’t shows when you applied it to your brow because who wants shimmer on their brow anyway? I don’t understand why they put shimmer on it-_- SWATCHES

With Only Drawing Eye Brow in Gray Brown 02

With Only Color My Brows in Rich Brown 01

With Both Drawing Eye Brow and Color My Brows

For daily makeup i only use the Drawing Eye Brow Pencil, and for an event or whenever i need my brow to set longer i apply both the Drawing Eye Brow Pencil and the Color My Brows Brow Mascara. But when i’m in hurry and so lazy but still wants to have good looking brows, i will simply apply the Color My Brows. It will only take less than a minute and i’m good to go! Drawing Eye Brow Pros : Practical Hard texture yet pigmented Comes with a spoolie brush Affordable Retractable The product is thin and flat making it easy to draw thin strokes Drawing Eye Brow Cons : Limited Color Selection for Lighter Hair Colors Color My Brows Pros : Easy to use Pigmented Affordable Helps to set the brows Color My Brows Cons : Only available in warmer shades That’s all i have to say, overall I like both of the product especially the Drawing Eye Brow Pencil. Will definitely continue using both of this.

Sleek Matte Me Review and Swatches

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing good today. Remember when I post a review of Lime Crime Velvetines? Those are beautiful but quite expensive, and with all the lime crime controversy you might want to try something else to substitute them.

These are the Sleek’s Matte Me, it is also a liquid lipstick that will dry matte. The concepts of this product is similar to the Lime Crime Velvetines. I got it for IDR 168.000 from an online shop on Instagram (@dejoyofmakeup) they sell ready stock makeup from brands that you cannot find in stores in Indonesia. I am quite pleased with this shop since the customer service is great and their packaging is awesome!

So cute right? And they also wrapped my lipsticks with bubble wrap so it’s extra secure! I definitely recommend them for you to check. Here is the product info on their website, “Matte Me is a matte finish liquid lipstick that glides on in one smooth application, with no need for a second coat. The light as air texture provides you with comfortable wear for hours, that doesn’t cake, flake or dry out, ensuring long lasting color all day.” Now, onto my review to see if the product lives up to how it’s claimed.. Packaging wise, I love it. It looks modern, sleek, and expensive looking (when they really aren’t that expensive. The clear glass bottle tells you the color of the product right away. The applicator is a slim sponge applicator and I don’t find it hard to apply on my lips.

The way I review this product will be a comparison to the Lime Crime Velvetines. The product is not tested on animals and available in 6 shades. I only got two, birthday suit and petal. Unlike Lime Crime, the available shades is quite “safe” and “traditional” which I don’t mind. It smells like lipsticks, doesn’t have any added scent to it. The Matte Me takes longer time to dry then the Velvetines, but once it dries it is completely matte. It doesn’t feel sticky right after you apply it but after couple of hours, it will be sticky and flaky it will also start to transfer. This doesn’t stay as long as Velvetines. The pigmentation is good but the lighter color, petal, is streakier when applied, making it hard to get smooth application. Here are some swatches for you!

Petal

Petal is a neutral tone baby pink. On medium to tan skin, it’ll make your skin looks even tanner and give the “exotic” feels to your face. But it is tricky to apply on pigmented lips because it is a light color. Birthday Suit

Birthday Suit is a very natural pink with a bit of brown to it. Depending on your natural lip color, it can be a nude with brown undertone or a brownish pink. I think this color is gorgeous and so wearable, I can see a lot of skin tone looks amazing with this. Pros : Affordable Loving the shades available Quite Long Lasting Con : It is drying and tends to sit on the cracks and lines on your lips ( look at my lip swatch to see the lines) After couple of hours, it will flake, be sticky, and can transfer. Overall : i still think lime crime velvetines are better than this but I prefer the shades on Sleek’s Matte Me.
