MAC LIPSTICK: HEROINE

Hi ladies, this is my 1st review about lipstick. Yes I adore lipstick, you can change your mood based on this things that you applied on your lips. It is the most important makeup that can change your whole makeup. Unfortunately I love red and other dark colored lipstick. I think 9 out of 10 has darker shade (My mom always complain when she see my lipstick collections, she always mumbling: why I don't have pink or nude colors?). Lets get back to the topic: When you love purple, you will ultimately hooked with MAC HEROINE, it is the true purple, the equal of ruby woo in terms of true red. 

(forgive me for low lightning in my dorm)

The texture is quite velvety and smooth, it is glided smoothly, the color is pigmented and true to the picture. You will feel 90-s vibes from the color. It match perfectly with punk/goth attire, darker eyeshadows, but I will try to pull it off on lunch date :D

I bought it on MAC counter for about PHP 1000 or IDR 295,000

Overall:

Packaging: 5 (classic bullet model of MAC)

Texture: 4

Color: 5

Longevity: 5 (I need makeup remover)

Price: 4

QUEEN HELENE MINT JULEP MASQUE

Hi ladies, Do you like to do mask on your face? I have combination, sensitive, acne prone skin, which prone to dullness. When I was on elementary school up to my medical school days, I like to have DIY mask once in a while. 

• Lemon + eggwhite
• Yoghurt + eggwhite + honey
• Oatmeal + berries + honey
• Papaya + banana (yes I tried this combination)
• Avocado + yoghurt

I mean, like every fresh ingredients that could be found in my refrigerator (except sambal/ chili paste). I found it enjoyable but it kind of hassle to prepare all these things, and also the mess I left after... I tried to buy ready to use masque, from local Indonesian brand, to Korean/Asian brand.

So, after  I did my research, I found few of the blogs recommend this understated masque, seriously this thing is one of the best in market, and I found that the lack of  reviews is disturbing.

This clay based mask, work to sucks and clean all impurities in pores. The minty smell is pleasing, it felt cool during treatment. The steps were: after exfoliating, I put it on and let it dry for about 15-30 minutes, until it dried and cracked ^__^. You can wash it with warm water and cloth afterwards, then apply toner, serum, moisturizer and voila, based on my experience, you will swear your skin felt amaaahziing.

I bought it for less than PHP 400, in Healthy Option, Philippines. I like it so much that I bought 3 more bottles before I went back for good to Indonesia.

This is in natural lightning, no editing was done, taken with iphone 4s, sorry for the clothes, I was ready to sleep >0<.

Overall:

Packaging: 5

Smell: 4

Texture: 4

Price: 5

Will I buy it again? YES

When you find it in shelves/ drugstore, please buy it and try its miracle. I think it is best for combination and acne prone skin.

Best Regards, Kiss
