I’ve been late to the party in reviewing this, but when I decided to improve my makeup haul this year, the soda pop eye catching color display at Beauty Bar in Greenbelt 5 caught my attention, and I was drawn to the Lipsticks or Lippies as they are called. The Eye Candy eye pencils by Happy Skin Cosmetics were given during a blog event by Martine de Luna entitled the Blissmakerie 2014.
Shut Up And Kiss Me Moisturizing Lippies sure live up to its claim, it is a mix of shea butter, gloss and lip color in one. It applies very creamy. I’ve purchased the Honeymoon Glow and Naughty and Nice, again both aptly named for a bridal experience. Collagen infused, your lips will love you for its lip plumping effect.
Overall, the Moisturizing lipsticks are true to their claim: very moisturizing and very pigmented. However, I find myself reapplying more than often due to its balmy and creamy texture, but it’s good for a few hours. This is not a bad thing, it makes me reach for it even if I don’t need a retouch. The range of colors are suited to a global skin tone, ranging from nudes to reds, so I feel they were specifically chosen for me. I felt like buying the entire range! After all it is well priced, between P499.00 -549.00, and one can easily collect and build her lipstick collection without the guilt.
The eyeliners were quite a surprise, though. Cotton Candy and Butterscotch are ideal for rimming underneath the lashes to make the eyes look bigger, while Watermelon and Plum are good for smokey looks or can be worn everyday for a bold pop of color in the eyes. The big plus is that it is smear, water and budgeproof. It can’t get any better than that. (My only beef is, the pencil is short and can be easily be used up for everyday use. Maybe a twist type is in the works?)
