REVIEW: Lioele 3D Enamel Lipgloss

Hey guys! Im back!! I know its been a while but now im back to share my thoughts on Lioele 3D Enamel Lipgloss. <3



It says: "Lioele 3D Enamel Lip Gloss is a light and non-stickiness fluid gel type of lip gloss has vivid color and presents shiny glossy color as an enamel coat on your lips. By including grape seed oil, it produces moisture film on your lips which keeps moist feeling and glamorous lip for a long time. It gives an illusion of a fuller (botoxed) lips."

Benefits: Moisturizes, Vivid color, Shiny, Glossy & Non-sticky

At first i only bought the #3 Dreaming pink. After i fell in love with it, I bought the other 3 colors! :3





dreaming pink, smoky beige, tangerine peach & crystal snow
Lets start off with my initial purchase and my personal favorite! <3

Dreaming pink <3





I really think that Dreaming pink and Nyx's Nude beige are quite similar in terms of color but Nyx is far more sticky and less glossy than Lioele's. Both last for a 2-3 hour or so. On to the next colors! :3


Tangerine peach





Smokey Beige



Crystal Snow



Dreaming Pink is <3 <3 <3


Cam whoring at its finest! :P

Pros:

-color payoff
-candy-ish smell is <3
-gives a glossy/plumped lips
-sleek design
-pigmented, one swipe is enough

Cons:

-limited to 5 shades
-lasting power is so-so
-leaves a bit of dryness once it fades


OVERALL:

I do think this one of my fave go to lip glosses i own. Im so deeply in love with Dreaming pink i purchased another one! I love the smell and it's color payoff. If you can bear with retouching once in a while its a cheap STEAL! Its almost the same as Lipglass but way cheaper. It is not sticky or leaves a heavy feeling on your lips and it does leave your lips plumped and moisturized. 

Will i repurchase again? YES! <3

REVIEW: Night Bomber G Cup


Here's a very (very) long review about Night Bomber G Cup. I've bought this a long long time ago from HERE. She's one of my most trusted seller here in the Philippines. If you live in other countries i think it's available on Ebay. I successfully finished 2 boxes of these for the past 3 months. I used my own money to buy this. This might be the last time for me to review breast enlarger medicine and you'll find out why later. :) So, here's a very comprehensive review of this product. Viewer discretion is advised

Japanese R & D production, only in Japan, sales, quality assurance, harmless to human body without side effects, we can rest assured that the use


THE MOMENT OF TRUTH:

Well the "Night Bomber G" Is a famed for enlarging breast size overnight. Utilizing the power of modern science it can transfer or re-position your arm and back fats into your breast tissue and activate you "lact gene receptors" making your breast increase in size from B to G overnight.

Sound too good to be true right? While reading the ingredients i noticed its full of herbs. I guess ingesting herbs is better than taking in chemicals because it has less side effects. But what i don't understand is what the hell is "the end of a herb" supposed to mean? Will it help me make my breast larger? So i researched the all of ingredients mentioned above and here's what i found out:

ACID HYDROCHLORIDE SALT: Mostly used on medicines to help the gastrointestinal tract absorb the medicine completely and immediately from 30-40 minutes.

FENNEL, GREEN TEA, TREE EXTRACT & BASIL: Contains phytoestrogens enhance breast development. Phytoestrogens are plant-based estrogens identified as lignans, flavones, coumestans and isoflavones. Consumption of foods containing phytoestrogens may reduce the chances of developing prostate and breast cancer, as well as cardiovascular conditions and osteoporosis, as these substances mimic the action of natural created in the female body. Phytoestrogens are found in many herbs and food sources, and consumption of these can help enlarge breast tissues naturally. Phytoestrogens, the active ingredients in these pills, are similar in structure to estrogen and can mimic the action of estrogen to stimulate the estrogen receptors in the breasts.(Please do research about phytoestrogen because it is not recommended for people with history of breast cancer, problems in the uterus & etc...)

FENNEL: Fennel has been used for centuries as both food and medicine. It was used traditionally to increase the flow of breast milk in nursing women, enhance libido, and increase menstrual flow. 

WHITE PEPPER: Helps in digestive juices. 

TURMERIC: Help aid drooping breast and prevent them from sagging. Also rich in Phytoestrogen.

DANDELION ROOT & YAM: Is mostly used for balancing hormones mostly estrogen which is the main hormone that controls breast sizes.

CAMPHOR: Firms breast and always one of the main ingredient of breast firming creams.

CELLULOSE: Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. It is mostly used as a binding agent.

ARGININE: Used along with breast enhancers. Arginine is an amino acid which helps to boost circulation by stimulating the body's production of nitric oxide.

CARAMEL FATTY ACID ESTER: Used as a processing aid during the manufacturing. Mostly used in soft drinks and candies for color.

VITAMIN A, C, and E: Guarantee a healthy skin and thereby facilitate breast improvement. Vitamin A is responsible for skin nourishment. Vitamin C is responsible for collagen production. Collagen production is essential in keeping the skin toned and firm. This will help breasts to stay perky. Vitamin E helps in healthy skin production and the overall health of the body.

NIACIN: A vasodilator that dilates blood vessels & makes the tissue fill up with blood, Making the breast firm and plump. (taking niacin daily will give you a nice natural flush. But be careful upon taking in the drug and make sure to consult your doctor first!)

CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE: Known as vitamin B5 that kick starts Co-enzyme A that is also needed for our sex hormones. Low levels of Co-enzyme A will not activate sex hormones that are needed for our breast development.

VITAMIN B(1, 2, 6 & 12): The vitamin aids in developing antibodies, proteins, and red blood cells. It is also crucial in sustaining cardiovascular health.

FOLIC ACID: This mineral is known to produce and sustain new cells. Folic acid is of great help during rapid cell division and is essential in maintaining the growth of new breast tissues.

VITAMIN D3: A fat-soluble vitamin that aids in genetic coding, improves muscle tone, aids in calcium absorption, repairs damaged tissues, encourages breast growth and lowers your risk of breast cancer.

The ingredients of the mentioned above act as supplements for the substances required by our body to promote breast development. It also balances the hormones present inside our body that controls breast development stages.

THE VERDICT: 

Does this cause weight gain? Well, it doesn't cause weight gain. It's herbal formulation is absolutely safe and doesn't add extra pounds to other parts of the body. Apart from uplifting the volume of breasts, it also firms breasts and prevent premature sagging. So far, there are no known side effects. Initially, there might be a little soreness in breasts. However, one should discuss with doctor before using the cream or pills during pregnancy. Worth to mention, it reduces PMS symptoms and other reproductive problems. 

As for the breast enlargement. Yes, my breast did became supple, firmer and a 1/2 cup larger! From 36B i went up to 36BB(?!) after a month since my boobs don't fit in my cup B bra anymore. I have to buy a new bra of 38B or 36C since its in between a B and a C..  Maybe i should buy another box so that i can go up to a C?! Maybe..... After a month or so of not using this product it did not made my boobs small again. I'm so happy that its permanent!

Did my arms or back became smaller? Apparently not, although im still happy it worked on my boobiesss!

DISCLAIMER: I do not advice the use of the pills to women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, under other medications, suffering from high blood pressure, heart or liver problems, glaucoma, diabetes or who are allergic to any ingredient. It is not advisable if you are taking antidepressants or other medications prescribed to treat emotional or psychological problems. If you are taking any medications other than those listed or have some other disease, I recommend consulting a doctor first.

REVIEW: Baviphat Essence Lipstick

I was going to buy the Lioele Donut Glo-stick which cost roughly 500 plus pesos (I think) from an online seller I've known for years then I came across this product that is on sale on her shop. It looks exactly like Lioele's but 100 pesos cheaper. A cheapskate like me would immediately buy this without hesitation. Since it's Baviphat and it's better than buy a fake one or a knock-off right?

Here's what it looks like:

Bought the color #2


See, it looks exactly like Lioele's


Indoor
Outdoor

PROS:
-I love the cute pink color without looking unnatural
-The packaging is cute
-Its somewhat moisturizing so no need to apply lipbalm before this
-leaves a cute pinkish tint on the lips

CONS:
-not pigmented enough to be a liptick
-I hate the shimmers
-Lasts up to 2 hours or less if you are eating or drinking
-It smell and taste like cheap lipstick
-Not for people who wants extreme moisturizing

OVERALL: Don't be fooled! It looks exactly like Lioele's and might be the same #2 color but cheaper. But I'm not saying that it's an exact replica of Lioele's Donut Glo-stick. I'm just saying that it looks almost the same. I always use this especially on busy days that I needed a more natural pink lips with out the hassle of applying lip balm then top it off with my lipstick (too time consuming). Now, i'm itching to buy Lioele's for comparison. Maybe next time! Although I wont be buying this again any time soon I would still recommend you to try this!

REVIEW: Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer (NEW)

Ever since I was in high school I always suffer from pimple breakouts and after my battle with the pimples they will always leave this very ugly scars on my face! So my journey to find my HG concealer started. I've tried so many concealers in the past (except for high-end ones since i'm still a student back then and i don't have so much money). I've tried avon, careline, elf, etc. most of them aren't pigmented enough or slide on my oily face or break me out. Then my guardian angel led me to this very cute pink store and found my all time favorite concealer.

I've been using this for YEARS! I'm not exaggerating, I've been using this on top of my BB cream for approx 3 years now. And i have to say that i really love this! I'm so focused on using this I haven't tried the Surprise Stick concealer yet but I've heard great reviews so I might be getting it on my next haul. :)

It says: " Conveniently sized liquid concealer eliminates complexion worries by providing durable and light spot concealment. Brush application is quick and easy to use."

Recently they changed their packaging and maybe their formula.

In the past it looked like this:

To this:

OLD: left /NEW: right



I love love love the new packaging! It's cuter than before. Even the applicator changed too! But the change doesn't matter much to me I think it works the same. BUT the big change that I liked the most is the smell of the product! The new one smelled very subtle and nice. It's not overpowering like the old one that smells like an old lady's perfume instead it smells like floral-powdery kind of smell but very light. :3


Here's some swatches:

The new one has more yellowish tone than the old one.
i use #2 natural beige

The new one is much lighter than the old one.







only concealer on
After hours of travelling and shopping its still there! :3
(puffy face! xD ) 

The pimples, redness and scars practically disappeared like magic! Even my big pores were covered by the concealer alone. It brightened up my skin so I sometimes use this as a highlighter on the bridge of my nose and my upper cheeks then top it with a powder type highlighter and it will last all day long on my very oily face.

PROS:
-very pigmented
-buildable
-looks very natural and feels natural
-can cover pimples and scars very well
-doesn't slide off my oily skin
-can be used as a highlighter
-cheaper than MAC, only for 298php
-last all day long
-love the packaging
-the scent is not over powering
-it didn't break me out ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ

CONS:
-available in 2 shades only
-if not properly blended out it will looked caked
-not for people who likes heavy coverage

OVERALL: I love using this concealer very much! I would definitely recommend this to all the girls out there who are also in a tight budget like me. I would probably buy more of these in the near future and probably try the surprise stick concealer too. :)
