Review: Sleek Makeup O.M.G. lipstick

ola chikas! i'm back at work today hehe. still feeling a little bit under the weather but i'd have to suck it up - program codes waiting for me in the office aren't going to code themselves haha! ok, enough geek talk lol time for some makeup talk!

for Valentine's Day, i received a gift from my daughter - Sleek Makeup O.M.G. lipstick. she asked me what i wanted and i showed here everything i wanted at Luxola.com haha! i think she chose this not only because it looked pretty but because it's what she can afford too hehe! she was super sweet to have gotten me anything really! (^_^)

i admit, the first time i saw the color in Sleek Makeup's website, i was dubious. i don't really tend to favor reds on my lips as i feel they are too much of an attention seeker so i cannot pair it with loud eyes. but lately, i've spent less and less time to get ready in the morning so i don't really devote time to apply eyeshadow to my eyes anymore compared before. boo hoo! but anyway, if there's any consolation it made me consider bold lips instead of just relying on colorful eye makeup. and i think i'll be in love with looks that showcase lips more - thanks to O.M.G.!




what Sleek Makeup says:
* A superb highly-pigmented lipstick enriched with Vitamin E which leaves amazingly rich shades on the lips with only a single coat.
* Can be applied using a lip brush for a professional finish. 3.5g


O.M.G. on my lips, only lip balm underneath, nothing over it

my thoughts:
- this is a highly-pigmented lippie alright! i know now why it's called O.M.G. - people who take notice of it will immediately think or say such thing! it's in your face color but it's very classy, it's just love!
- i agree that one coat will give you enough color but i like to apply two coats of lipstick for longer wear (what i do is apply one coat then put tissue between my upper and lower lips then press them together gently and add another coat; i do this both straight from the tube because i don't have the patience to apply with a lipbrush lol)
- this didn't dry out my lips a lot, a little bit perhaps but not bothersome - probably because i wore lip balm underneath
- the color lasts long without touching it (drinking or eating). it wears out when you do drink or eat though.
- i had to take note to exfoliate my lips as if there's flaking of some sort it'll look weird when you apply this
- my daughter got this at Luxola.com for S$16 (free next-day delivery anywhere in Singapore!)
- i think this is the first time i got a tiny lipstick but for the pigmentation of the product i think it's well worth it
- the casing is very classy - matte and black all over, doesn't look cheap at all!

overall, i am proud to be an owner of such lipstick hue! it's definitely memorable, flattering, warm and can make you look sexy in a snap! i never wanted a lipstick i want to have backups of but i think this is one i contemplate on getting! it's that irrestible to me - two thumbs up!

do you own this shade? or have dupes? do tell!

take it easy this beautiful Thursday. God bless us all! (^_^)

i got BELOfied!

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us

Terrific hairday at Affascinante Salon

Image
I recently went back to Manila for vacation since my kids had a one week school holiday and I had to see my Uro for my followup checkup (have you heard, am stone-free already - thank GOD!!!). One of the plans that materialized during that trip is having my daughter's hair rebonded - for the first time - and getting my hair colored since my regrow is showing already. I went straight to my trusted stylist, Wheng of Affascinante Salon. My daughter before rebonding: My daughter after rebonding: Huge difference right? My daughter can't hide her excitement. She now appreciates beauty a li'l more - she hates putting on makeup because it takes a lot effort she says. Ah, we're total opposites hehe. Of course, it's the mother's turn next! I didn't have a before picture though I took after shots in different lighting. Btw, i asked Wheng to color my hair reddish brown. Also, in case you're wondering she used Framesi coloring products.
