Colour Collection Lip Perfection Lipstick | Nitty Gritty Reviews

Heyaaa! I'm back from the dead- err the sloth world I mean. Anyways I'm here to show you guys the nitty gritty on Colour Collection's Lip Perfection Lipstick. ;D

The Nitty Gritty: (As taken from Sample Room's page)



Colour Collection's Lip Perfection Lipstick is a treatment lipstick infused with Argan Oil for ultimate lip perfection.

Argan oil is pressed from the nut of the fruit of the Argan Tree, which is only found in Morocco. The argan tree lives to be about 150 to 200 years old and does not start producing the fruit until it is 30 to 50 years old. Because the tree is found only in a limited area, the oil itself is quite rare.

• Liquid Gold from Morocco – one of the most expensive oils in the world


• Contains a wealth of nutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E (2x more than Olive Oil) – fights off damaging effects of free radicals, Vitamin F – essential fatty acids for skin elasticity and Squalene – powerful antioxidant that maintains skin’s moisture

Packaging



The packaging of this is pretty simple and elegant. You have a nice white tube with the writing of Colour Collection up front, a gold rim, indicating where it's cap starts and the color/variation of the lipstick is indicated below the lipstick.

Variations/ Swatches

This has 3 shades, Amore, Bella and Crema. I got this from sampleroom way before I started blogging with chicmix 2.0, and out of the three, I felt more inclined to get a sample of Crema. Crema is a pink lipstick with coral undertones that is most prominent in the tube. To give you an idea of what I mean, I've done a swatch with half of my lips wearing said lippie and the other half with nothing.





Coverage/Finish

This baby glides on your lips like a dream, and on the application, it does not settle into the fine lines. I think the argan oil helped a lot with that part.

Coverage wise, you need to have at least 3 apply and blot sessions with this lipstick to get a full pink coverage for your lips. The blot part of applying said lipstick also helps it to stay even longer. The finish of this lipstick has a slight sheen when you apply it and if you don't like too much gloss/sheen, that is also what the blotting is for. :D

Price/ where to get

PHP 399 for every 4g /Tupperware Brand Dealers

Overall(4 out of 5 )

I love how naturally pink it makes my lips look, and it makes me look and feel like an innocent teenager. Wait, may inosenteng teenager pa ba ngayon? haha jk! ;)


*wearing Colour Collection Lip Perfection Lipstick in Crema

Only downside is that it's only available through Tupperware brand dealers, or if they restock in Sample Room, and the price. But don't fret cause Tupperware holds these sales that make the said lipstick go from 10%-50% off :D

The staying power is not that strong as well, at only 2-3 hours and that it's pretty much gone after you eat... If you don't mind reapplying lipsticks now and then like me, then this is good for you.

Pretty much repurchasing this in other shades after I finish my tube... I wanna try Amore next cause I still have this thing for reddish orange lip colors until now :D

Have a very Merry Christmas! :)

Jane the Virgin, nominated in Golden Globe Awards

Here's a seriously twisted plot for you guys, that I'm sure you'd love as much as I do. ;D

About the Show

When Jane Villanueva was a young girl, her grandmother, Alba, convinced her of two things: telenovelas are the highest form of entertainment, and women must protect their virginity at all costs. Now age 23, Jane is a driven young woman studying to become a teacher, nursing a dream to be a writer, and supporting herself with a job at a hot new Miami hotel.



All the years of watching telenovelas with the two women who raised her – her sexy, young-at-heart mother, Xiomara (known as “Xo”), and her still-devout grandmother, Alba – have given Jane a slightly unrealistic view of romance. Although she is determined not to make the same mistake Xo made – becoming an unwed mother at 16 – Jane could not be closer to the two wonderful women who have shaped her life. They are very different people – Xo lives her life as a perpetual teenager, performing at local clubs and always looking for a new man, while Alba makes religion and prayer the focus of her life – but both women consider Jane the center of their universe and love the grounded, compassionate and ambitious young woman she has become.

Despite the conflicting influences of her mother and grandmother, Jane has managed to find a wonderful fiancé: a handsome, hard-working detective named Michael, who loves her enough to accept her detailed timeline for their future together and even her insistence on “saving herself” until they’re married. All of Jane’s meticulous life plans are turned upside down, however, when she sees her doctor for a routine check-up and is accidentally artificially inseminated with a specimen meant for the patient in the next room. Unbeknownst to her, the specimen belongs to Rafael, a reformed playboy and cancer survivor, who is not only the new owner of the hotel where Jane works but also a former summer crush of hers.

Gluta White and Firm| My First facial Experience



Hey! up for an update here. Just wanna share with you guys this real great facial I had experienced with Gluta White and Firm's free facial, and boy is it just what I needed to relax my skin from the harshness of the Metro. With all that dust, pollution and harsh UV rays from the sun, my sensitive skin sure needs a break.



Gluta White and Firm is a complete line of beauty products that promotes whitening and firming of the skin. The set includes a facial wash, toner, facial cream, pressed powder, soap, lotion and deodorant. Yep. Even Deodorant. Talk about COMPLETE. ;D

I've been meaning to post this ever since I got it on my birthday, last November 15, and yet it's only now that I get to click the publish button. If you ask me why, it's because it's only now I finally got a decent internet connection thanks to my Pichi. So without further ado, I give you the contents of November 2014's BDJ Box. :3

PS: Sample sized prices are not official, I just computed them from the regular sized prices. I am curious as to how much they would actually cost kasi :D



We start off with BDJ's feel good stickers, which is also in line with their theme for this month. "Love the way you look and look the way you love". How would you interpret this saying? :D





Posiebalm Hydrating Lip Balm  (regular tube is 3g; sample size is 0.5g)

This baby has mango butter and sodium hyaluronate that gives one that poppy pink tinted lips and helps hydrate and condition the lips as well. (Php 1000 for regular size which means this sample size is priced at around Php 166.67)

Torque Royale | Check out the new meaning of #HeadTurners

Horray for my Pichi cause he gave me the next best thing to an early Christmas gift- Better internet connection! YAY! Just had the thing connected today, so I finally can post all of my pending posts plus Ideas on great Holiday looks this December.



Anyways I had the chance to check out the unveiling of Torque's new cellphone models that have just recently hit the market, and they are #HeadTurners for sure. I may not be THAT much of a techie, but I do understand some of the lingo it brings and with the said specs, I can say that what Torque has in store for us this Christmas IS pretty awesome.

Okay, so I'm starting with the fact that the Droidz Series of Torque is your dose of great Phablets (Phone-Tablet in one), with a spice of the Rotating Camera that can do it's thing for up to 180 degrees, and that is pretty great for those who are lovin the selfies and photographers alike.

Droidz Swivel:

So kill me then, cause I fell back on my writing with the absolutely bad weather going on and crappy internet here in our place. Good news is that hopefully within the week the new internet connection that Pichi applied for will be up and running. :D Hope you guys are doing fine with #RubyPH up in our skies.

A bit of an update with the newest show in modeling that has me tuned on the 'tube(if you get what I mean), Supermodel ME...


The 10 girls who remain in Diva’s SupermodelMe: Sirens competition find themselves in a big, fluffy, bumpy race on this coming week’s challenge! How did 20-year-old Irish Ong, who represents the Philippines, fare in a wild ostrich race? You read it right—staying poised and graceful on a skittish, powerful bird for the first-time in their lives is a challenge alright!



Meanwhile, on this same episode’s photo shoot, the girls are introduced to a slithery co-star. Just try “selling” handbags and shoes on camera while minimally “dressed” with almost only a gleaming snake!

Personally I felt that Irish Ong is a pretty strong contender here, plus she is a Filipina so I believe that she is a trooper in this episode. :3 I mean just looks at those eyes that shout for us to come hither and yet she's up and about with all the grime, slithering snakes and whatnot without a care in the world. Pretty much a true siren if you ask me. ;D

Fratini's Restaurant |iMunch goes Italian

Fratini's Restaurant has 3 things that I am absolutely loving in a restaurant.

• Great Pizza and Pasta


• Awesome Ambiance


• Superb Service

Last November 24th, I might as well be having a post birthday party for myself cause I got to have a great food adventure with Fratini's Restaurant.



Fratini's is an authentic Italian restaurant that is also Halal- Certified so it means they don't serve pork. This is because Fratini's is started in Brunei and is owned by a Muslim person at around the year 1996. They have one branch here in the Philippines located at the first floor of SM Jazz mall in Nicanor Garcia St cor Metropolitan Ave Bel-Air, Makati.

And on today's spotlight is Bifesta Bright UP Cleansing Lotion! dun dun dun daaaaannn!



It's been a while since I made a beauty post in this blog of mine. I blame the internet and it's "Usage Friendly Policy", and not my laziness, cause I have lots of draft posts and I find it so hard to type in the middle of the night just to make everything work..

Anyways for today's review, I'll make it short and sweet.
