REVIEW : The Saem's Saemmul Real Tint 01

Welcome back to my blog. Finally I've joined the bandwagon and decided a good lip tint. It's better late than never guys. Once again, I'm guilty. The mere reason why I bought this one few months ago was it was on sale and literally 50% off. You know your girl love me some sale and saving at the same time. Well, let's continue this review before it gets somewhere.

What's it about?

The Saem's Saemmul Real Tint is infused with marine collagen and white birch extract to keep our lips hydrated. This pigmented lip stain glides on easily and makes application a breeze. Whether you're making a full lip effect or a gradient lip look, then this product helps you achieve that with style and comfort.

I have here 01 which is the red tint.

I put some running water on the swatches of my hand

Then you have this faded color left on my arm.

This is how the lip tint looks on me.

PACKAGING: It's a plastic designed tub with a cap. It also has a doe-foot applicator . Overall, it's pretty simple I guess. 

PRICE: It originally costs P190 on Althea website. Check it HERE

COLOR: Mine is the 01 which comes out like a dark cherry color. The color pay off is pretty good I must say.

TEXTURE: The tint isn't too runny. It's just the right amount of consistency. It actually feels nothing on the lips.

My Overall Thoughts

Well, even if bought this on impulse because it was on sale, I'm pretty proud that it did give me good results. First, I have to mention it is quite long lasting. I like that the color fades to this hint of red which makes the lips pretty if that makes sense. Second, it's not very drying on the lips as long as you put on a good lip balm, Lastly, it's cheap and very handy especially if you're on the beach. My only complain about this is its taste. It has this bitter taste and it also easily smudge on the teeth which is pretty ugly. 

TRICKS I've learned from YOUTUBE  about Lip Tints

**How to avoid the lip tint from scattering all over?

 After I put this on the lips, I get a facial tissue and blot the extra tint so no lip tint goes inside my mouth and teeth. It actually works better that way.  

**How to make the lip tint as a natural blush?

Naturally, I use this as a lip tint and  it can also double as a blush. I mix my fave foundation with a single drop or two of the  tint and make it as my blush for that natural flush on the cheeks.

Well, that's wrap for me. Hope you find this helpful. Thanks for visiting my blog. See you next time. Always be curious and be inspired.

My Product Empties # 24 : My Lucky Seven

1. Sanicare Cleansing Wipes

These cleansing wipes are gentle, alcohol-free, lightly-scented with Eucalyptus and safe for children too. They feel very soft and have this cloth-like texture for that thorough cleansing.  One pack contains 80 sheets.

VERDICT: An absolute winner. This really is very reliable and travel-friendly. The price point is also another advantage. A must buy for everybody.

2. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in Rich Ruby

I like how creamy and smooth this feels on the lips. A good lip color for everyday use and can be worn during date nights too. 

VERDICT: This is another favorite here in this list. Nice color pay off and makes you look more put together. A good lipstick to try.

VERDICT: A good product to try. It's a sunscreen and a good foundation all in one tube. 

4. Colour Collection All Day Wear Lengthening Mascara

It is designed to define and extend the lashes making them look full. It also claims to be waterproof.

VERDICT:  I think I'll pass on buying this one again. Yes, it's waterproof but I noticed some fall outs throughout the day. One good thing though is that it really makes my lashes thick in one coat. :)

5. Real Skin Healthy Vinegar Skin Toner in Makgeoli

It's a healthy vinegar skin toner that has makgeoli. This ingredient mainly helps to brighten and nourish the skin making it clearer and better. More information about this product can be seen HERE from my previous post.

It claims to cover blemishes and give the skin a healthy look. It does have SPF 30++ . It also has green tea extract and green tea seed oil to promote hydration and moisture. More swatches and photos can be seen HERE.

7. Milky Dress Wrinkle and Whitening Eye Cream
It's an eye cream that targets 2 main points. It claims to whiten the under eye area and help with the wrinkle care. I did review this product before and you can see it HERE

Review : Ginger Sugar Lip Scrub by Aritaum

Gone are the days that my skin always revitalizes by itself. I always thought that applying a lip balm is enough to moisturize my lips. Boy, I was totally wrong. I've noticed some parts of my lips are flaky in  a way especially they are highlighted when I wear matte lip product. Not attractive at all I know. Good thing I saw this on the website and decided to try this. That was the best decision ever. For now, let's get to know more about this product.

What's it about?     

This is a lip scrub with ginger and sugar crystals that moisturizes your dry and chapped lips to create a smooth lip texture.

How the product looks on my lips. Looks a lil greasy and you can notice some sugar crystals too.

The finish look

The photo doesn't do much justice. I promise the texture of my lips here feels super soft and smooth.

PACKAGING: It comes in a round plastic container with a screw-open like cap.

SIZE :It has 12 g in it. Pretty small but a little goes a long way. Trust me.

CONSISTENCY: At first, it looks like a balm. Then once it touches your skin, it just melts and turns into this smooth texture that is easy to apply and spread on the lips.

SCENT: It doesn't have any strong scent of ginger in it. No strong taste either.  It has this very mild citrus scent though.

HOW TO USE IT?   

1. Use it as a lip scrub.

Make sure you have clean hands. Use your fingers to apply the product and put it all over your lips. Apply it in circular motion to look like your scrubbing the excess dead skin cells of your lips. Leave it on for a minute more or less. Then use your gentle cleansing wipes to remove the product and wash it off with water after to completely remove it since there's this  sugary bits and hints of oil / wax from the product itself.

2. Use it as a lip mask. 

Do the same steps and apply the product in circular motion. Wear it overnight. You'll wake up the next day having smooth, hydrated and soft lips. 

My Overall Thoughts 

I am totally happy with this lip scrub. It does the job very effectively. It's a gentle lip scrub that everyone can enjoy. I see myself reaching this every time I feel like my lips feel flaky. It's reasonably priced since you can use it as a lip scrub and an overnight lip mask treatment. I highly recommend this to everybody especially those who like using matte lip products. This is the perfect lip product for you.

Hope you find this helpful. Let's all continue to discover good skin care products and share good information online. Till next time.
