Etude House Welcome to Wonder Lip Land Palette+ Swatches

This lip palette costs Php798 and you get 18 fun and vibrant lip colors (12 are rouge and 6 are gloss). If we do a little math, you only pay 44 for each color, pretty inexpensive, right?

(here's a side-by-side size comparison of the iPhone 4 and the EH Wonder Lip Land Palette)

 

The Wonder lip land palette is compact and can be toted around in your purse. Although it may be small, it houses a variety of colors from pinks, reds, and nudes. The colors are creamy and can be easily applied on the lips. They have nice pigmentation and are moisturizing too. The palette comes with a two-sided brush but I haven’t used it to apply the lip colors as I prefer to use my finger instead (I make sure I have clean hands first before applying of course). The smell of the product reminds me of crayons. It smells waxy. I personally don’t mind but for others this might not be a good thing. The lip colors don’t last on the lips for long especially when you eat or drink. Retouching is a must after doing so.

 

Anyway here are the swatches of each color. I’ve used one lip color each day for the past eighteen days.

Overall, I love this palette as I’ve pretty much used and abused it for the past month.

Carmex Original Flavor Moisturizing Lip Balm

Price Php100

Size 7.5g

I have dry lips and I suffer easily from chapped lips to wind burns. After searching the internet for a good and inexpensive lipbalm, I found out about Carmex and decided to purchase it based on the positive reviews I have read. It is available in 3 kinds of packaging: the one on the squeezable tubes, sticks, and jars. I chose to buy the one on the jar as it contains the most product out of three, all at the same cost. (the most bang for my buck) The ones on the stick packaging contain 4g of product but it has SPF 15 though.

Smell

It smells menthol-y which sort of reminds me of the smell of Vicks Vapor Rub. Some people may shy away from the product because of the smell but to me I don’t really mind the scent. I actually like it.

Consistency

It is waxy and slightly thick.

Verdict

I’ve been using this twice a day for over six months and my pot is still half-full. I love the cool, tingly feeling when I apply it. It does a good job in moisturizing my lips however there are times when it’s moisturizing capabilities are not enough for my lips (it happens rarely so it’s almost negligible ). I think the only thing lacking in this product is SPF. I’m guilty of not having any lip products with SPF (I know it's bad) but when I finish this pot, I’d probably purchase the Carmex Original stick with SPF 15.

Careline Lip Gloss Enriched with Vitamin E in 104, 105, and 106

Careline Lip Gloss Enriched with Vitamin E has 4.4g of product housed in a cute test tube packaging . It is affordable at only Php60 a piece. 

I decided to give them a try and I picked out colors 104, 105, and 106.   


I was expecting these glosses be a little bit sheer (something like that of elf plumping lip glazes) but I was dead wrong! These lipglosses are uber pigmented that they could pass off as liquid lipsticks. I ike the scent of the product as it reminds me of watermelons. The consistency is thick and but it goes smoothly on the lips. I don't like that it's sticky, though.    


104 is like a barbie pink color 
105 is a deep red color and
106 is a nude-ish color

104 makes me look anemic (how sad I was so looking forward to trying this the most out of the three, oh well). 106 is way too glittery for my taste. I would have loved it otherwise if wasn't  too glittery. 105 looked pretty good but I don't really see myself wearing red gloss everyday.


Anyway below is a picture of the 106 gloss on my lips. Pardon the messy application. Red is a tricky color to apply.

 I'm only wearing the 106 lipgloss in that picture. See what I mean when I say uber pigmented? 


Overall, I like it (1 of the 3 glosses) but I'm not way over the moon on the product. 
Have you tried this product yet? 
I'm willing to try out the other colors though. Any recommendations?
