Hi beauty lovers :)
This is my first review about beauty products (so I am sorry in advanced if this is not the kind of review you are looking for) again, I'm new at this.
These 2 products that I'm about to blog about are very different from each other. I am not trying to compare them.
My favorite beauty product would be lipsticks. I love them. I love brownish pink and mauve and dark lipsticks. Today, I will give you my thoughts about 2 lippies that I bought yesterday at SM Manila Department Store. These products are: 1) Maybelline: 660 Touch of Spice (which is Matte) and 2) In2It: Tawny (which is glossy and super moisturizing)
Let's start with MAYBELLINE: Touch of Spice (660) (299 pesos)

I love maybelline products, and I hope many more lipsticks will be available soon here in the Philippines. I was on a hunt for mauve or brownish pink matte lipsticks. I was very serious about it actually. I googled Mac Twig, but it was expensive and it wasn't matte, it was Satin. After knowing that, I tried looking for mac twig dupes. I googled it and one review helped me on deciding whether or not I should buy the Mac Twig. Here's the link:

Maybelline's Touch of Spice is very pigmented! I was shocked because I don't have a lipstick that gives me that color pay off. With this kind of lipstick, you could actually control if you want it dark or light. If you want a dark lip, just swipe this on your lips twice (or thrice if you'd like); if you want it light, you could just lightly dab it on your lips. This lippie is also very matte, but it's not super drying. I'll post a picture at the bottom of this blog so you could see the transfer test.
2nd Lipstick is In2It: Tawny (moisture intense lipstick) (379.75 pesos)

| In2It's Tawny |
After buying Touch of Spice, I went to my grandmother to tell her I already bought the maybelline lipstick. I found her browsing In2It beauty products. There was a chair at the In2It booth, so she decided to stay there because she was a bit tired from walking. I decided to take a look since I want a brownish orange lipstick. I was a bit hesitant to buy because I wasn't familiar with their lipstick... but GIRLS, I HAVE FOUND MY EVERYDAY LIPSTICK. Although it's not super brown or super orange on my lips, I still like it cause it gives my lips a little bit of "oomf" haha if you know what I mean. This lipstick is their intense moisture lipstick in the shade TAWNY (very pretty name). My upper lip is a bit dark, and I really needed a lipstick that would just lighten it up.
According to the lippie's packaging:
"Moisture intense lipstick: with moisturising beads containing lip plumping and nourishing ingredients that are released onto the lip during wear. It contains sweet almond oil and evening primrose oil and Vitamin E. It has UVA protection level of PA ++. It has no fragrance. It has UVB protection level of SPF 15"

According to the description above, I must say that it's definitely perfect (for me) for an everyday lipstick. Yes it is creamy and I know some ladies want their lipstick matte (and girl, I totally understand cause I love Matte lippies too) However, this lipstick is BOMB. The sales lady really convinced me to buy it because it is really good. This lipstick is very creamy, and yes it does fade when I drink or eat, so expect to reapply. Also, if you kiss your boyfriend on his cheek, expect the lippie to transfer because it is really creamy. hahaha.
I hope you liked this blog, and I hope you find it helpful.

Camille
