Product Review: Excel Lip Cream



Happy Sunday ladies! I am back with a new review and it is for the Excel Lip cream! I have heard of this product from a comment I received a couple of months back. I got really curious about it so I researched where I can buy it. 


You can actually purchase these on online stores and also on some make up shops. The prices range from 40 pesos to 250 pesos depending if you are buying by bulk or individual ones. 


I only got 3 shades to try out which are 501, 510, and 511. 


501 is more of a pale pink shade. 


510 is a fuchsia pink shade



 511 is a tomato red shade. 

These are considered a dupe of the NYX matte lip cream. I haven't tried those but if I do I will let you girls know if they are the same. Its other claim is it will last 24 hours. In terms of consistency, when you first apply this it still has that demi matte finish but after a while it will dry up and give you that matte finish. It does feel a bit sticky in the long run.  



See the pigmentation? This is what I like most about this since its really pigmented and it complements my skin really well. The only this that I don't like about these are they are very hard to remove. If you are using water, expect rigorous wiping to get it removed. I suggest you use an oil based make up remover so it will be easier to remove. 

Let's go to the Pros and Cons shall we? 

Pros:
Has no weird scents
Very pigmented
Cheap! You can buy one of this as low as 40 php at some online shops

Cons:
Only lasts a couple of hours on my lips
Very drying if you don't apply lip balm first. 
Hard to remove. My lips actually felt swollen when I only used water in removing this. 

Verdict?

I like it but I think this is something I can use when I just want a pop of color for a couple of hours. Not really an all day product for me if you ask me. 

Will I repurchase? 

I don't think so. I still have tons of lip products to finish. But if given the chance why not. I would like to see all the other shades actually. 

Who do I recommend this product? 
To girls who are looking for a pigmented lip product. But I really suggest you use this with a lip balm before apply the product.




 Have a safe Sunday! 

Much Love!

Lovely swatches, dear! Haven't tried those yet but I fell in-love with the NYX ones. :) I still have those so I don't think I will be buying any matte lip creams for a while.

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
