NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Ibiza & Addis Ababa

NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM is one of the most (if not most) wanted liquid lipstick in Indonesia. Every lipstick lover must've had at least one. It's highly requested in Indonesian online shops. I had these a few months ago. I was just starting to love lip products. However, it was before I decided to start writing again. This line contains more than 20 colours from nude to vampy. If you're into nudes and subtle pinks, you're going to have a hard time picking because those colours are dominating. The names of the SMLC are based on cities around the world. "Addis Ababa", a bright fuchsia and "Ibiza", a deep rose pink are the only ones I have currently. Those two attracts me the most. The best selling SMLC here in Indonesia would be "Antwerp", which I'm nowhere near interested. At first I thought I would like Addis Ababa more, but I was wrong. I love Ibiza. LOVE.

Sleek Matte Me Review + Lip Swatches

As someone who just started to get crazy about lipsticks, I tried to find as many affordable lipsticks I could find in any shapes and sizes, so yes, that includes liquid lipsticks. A few months ago, I stumbled upon these Sleek Matte Me - ultra smooth matte lip cream when I browsed through my Instagram. Sleek Matte Me only consists of 6 colours (Petal, Birthday Suit, Fandango Purple, Brink Pink, Party Pink, and Rioja Red). You can easily get the full shades if you're into collecting lipsticks. Out of the 6 shades, only 2 of them are nude. The other 4 are bright and bold looking colour. And from the 2 nudes, one that is called 'Petal' is not suitable for most women in my country. This shade Petal will make me look like a soft version of Nicki Minaj. The shade I first got is Fandango Purple, and it's a bright fuchsia purple. I fell in love as soon as I saw it on google. I need to have this flamingo. The next shades I got are Rioja Red and Birthday Suit. I've be

The Battle of Coconut Lip Balms

Who doesn't love natural homemade products? I personally think fruit variants in lip balms are quite boring. Mainly because most brand have their own mango, lemon, and strawberry kinds of lip balms. My perspective changed when I saw the word "coconut" in the packaging. It's interesting. Coconut doesn't even smell, so I got curious how a coconut in a lip balm could possibly smell like. Do coconuts even smell? This week's review is about coconut lip balms from two different brands. Both are specialised in natural skin care products. The only different is one is a local brand, the other one is from the USA. 1. Evete Naturals Lip Balm in Tropican Coconut On Valentine's day I purchased a set of lip balm from Evete. However, I'm not going to mention it as this post is about coconut. Evete is an online shop based in Indonesia.  I've been wanting try one of their lip balms for so long and finally I can get my hands on them.  Packaging wise
