Matte lipsticks are still the to-go of majority of women but for some who wants to rest their lips from the matte trend going on, lip tints are good alternative to color the lips this summer. I have four lip tints that we will take in a battle, two local brands and two international. The lip tints that I will feature have a watery to gel formula which is the typical type for lip tints. Without further ado, here are the lip tints.

The first lip tint is from the local brand Ever Bilena Advance Lip and Cheek Stain this is a cult-favorite mostly of college students since it is affordable and last for a long time.

This looks cherry red on lips, color is build-able, very easy to apply and blend. Be sure that your lips is well exfoliated, it tends to look patchy on dry areas but this is quite good very moisturizing and stays for 3-4 hours before retouch.

On cheeks it looks natural, sheer with a little glow. When applied properly, it looks very natural on cheeks like you are pinched on the cheeks.

I saw the Sooper Beaute Lip and Cheek Therapy Fluid Tint in Sweetie in Instagram and I am curious about the therapy word and I find out from their SA that it helps in moisturizing the lips, reducing the lines over time, promising a non-drying formula.

It looks magenta pink in person and I love how it looks on me. It is very opaque and the color last the whole day with minimal eating and drinking. I find this moisturizing even without lip balm. The only downside is the scent is not as good as I bought it two months ago. Perhaps this is organic, I will appreciate if they include an expiration date or its ingredients.

On my cheeks, the color is hot reddish with a hint of purple in person but it the picture it appears to be a light red. I applied this thinly on my cheeks but I don't think the color suits my skin so I prefer to use this one only on the lips.

Next is The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain in 01. This is the famous lip and cheek tint from The Body Shop that is well loved by Filipinas and I know the reason why. This looks really really natural and you can't go wrong with this one even for beginners or kids. It feels like you are just applying water on your lips and cheeks but once it dries, the color appears better. I hear that some complain that it doesn't show any color to their skin or on their lips and one factor could be that their lips is naturally dark or red, their skin is oily or they moisturize before applying it. But for me, the color shows naturally and I apply this on my cheeks dry so this will stick on my skin wait for a few seconds then apply it again building the color.

On lips it appears as a rose pink, very sheer and looks natural. Hydrating and moisturizing on the lips, last for 2 to 3 hours however on cheeks, it doesn't show much unless it is applied thrice. It gives a healthy glow on the face though so it is still pretty. This is the only lip and cheek tint I can suggest to high school students since it is the lightest and most natural looking tint not even the teachers can notice they are wearing one.

The Tony Moly Tony Tint Delight in 01 is always out of stock in most of their branches. That says something about this lip and cheek tint and it proved to me why. This is one of the famous korean lip tint all over the world because of how pigmented it is and very long lasting. I was surprised when I watched the videos of Ms. Anna Cay and she was also a fan of this! It smells like grape and very fruity.

The color is cherry pink, this is very pigmented and it stays the whole day even if after I eat and drink. It looks like a lip tattoo on lips since it is very hard to remove and it stays on lips no matter what, I find it hard to remove with a simple make up remover and the only way to remove this is by using an oil-cleanser or the Etude House eye and lip remover. It can be a drying sometimes especially when I don't exfoliate my lips but it can be fix with a use of lip balm. On cheeks, it is also very pigmented though it is hard to blend on cheeks since it dries quickly. Never dot these on the cheeks, it will leave dot marks on your cheeks. What I do is swipe this on my cheeks and then blend quickly.

From top to bottom, left to right: Sooper Beaute, Ever Bilena, Tony Moly and The Body Shop

For a recap, the Sooper Beaute Lip and Cheek Therapy Fluid Tint in Sweetie is a magenta pink lip and cheek tint that looks beautiful, moisturizing, hydrating and helps in reducing the lines over time, it last the whole day with minimal eating and drinking. The downside is that it has an unpleasant scent after two months of use, no information attached on the packaging, and looks purplish on cheeks. Next, Ever Bilena Advance Lip and Cheek Stain has a cherry color, smells good, easy to blend, can be use for dry skin but looks patchy on dry lips. The Tony Moly Tony Tint in 01 is a cherry pink lip and cheek tint, very pigmented, stays the whole day, smells good but can be drying sometimes. The The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain has a rosy pink color that looks very natural and appropriate for students especially for high school students who wants to have a hint of color. It is hydrating, and gives a sheer color on cheeks but this fades away easily.

Four lip tints were put into test, each has their own strengths and weaknesses but only one can win. The winner for this battle of the brands: lip tint edition is...

TONY MOLY TONY TINT DELIGHT IN 01! What more can I say? It is very pigmented and lasts the whole day which I love with lip products since I don't need to bother for a retouch or re application. The color is wearable, can be use for casual or office look and it is super affordable for 198 pesos for a tube. This is a best seller of Tony Moly and is sold out in all their stores most of the time so being a Tony Moly Tony Tint Delight addict, I hoard 3 tubes of this just in case they won't restocked for a few months.

And that is that, I hope you had fun reading this and looking on the swatches as much I do and let me know if you have tried any of these lip tints or what is your favorite one :)

Originally, the title of this post should be "ALMOST GONE" but when I saw all the products that I have emptied, I realized that they were all green and so I have changed the title in last minute. For the first time in my months of blogging, I now have an "Empty Products" post but don't expect me to give you this every month since I don't honestly empty anything within a month. I want this blog to be realistic and that is the reality. I don't force myself to finish up a product just to give you at the end of the month a post telling that I am happy for consuming this or that. Anyways, all the products aside from being color green are all smelling good. It is kind of funny that all their scents are not what I usually go for everyday but yeah, they smell good. Addicting.

This duo from The Body Shop Olive range is the bomb! Its scent is so perfect for me and I think even for my personality. Its musky yet feminine, bold but not overpowering and I love it so much. It just have a unique scent to it that everyone will really adore and it doesn't smell like the olive oil we use in the kitchen that's why I like it. The shower gel doesn't foam up but it makes me feel like my skin is clean without stripping the moisture on my skin and a little goes a long way. I am using this shower gel for atleast thrice a week for day and night but I still have a tiny portion there which I think I can still use for two weeks. The Body Shop's body butters are my all time favorite product in the store. If you haven't purchased this babies yet, you are missing a lot in the world of moisturizers. Their body butters really moisturizes the skin for the whole day and can even last for two days. The scent will linger on the skin for a long time even if you will commute, the scent will stay there. I look funny sometimes when I sniff my wrist and I can still smell the scent and I will just smile while the people around are curious why I am smiling. The scent of these two are really addicting.

Ahhh, my daytime moisturizer for three months. I love how light this is yet very hydrating on the skin. I have reviewed it here. This is one of the most affordable multi purpose moisturizer you can find in the market and it haven't failed me in giving soft, supple, hydrated and instantly cooled skin.

Last on the list is the L'Oreal Ever Strong Sulfate-Free Fortify System Reconstruct Shampoo. It is one of the products in the market that are hard to find before but I saw this recently at a local drugstore. I never had a problem anymore with falling hair after using this shampoo. It makes my hair stronger, softer and healthier. It is the only shampoo that doesn't make my hair stiff after used and I love the scent of it. Very invigorating and relaxing at the same time.

And that is the end of my Emptied Products so let's move on to the new stuffs I got this month. First on the list is Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Moroccan Beauty Oil specifically made for sensitive skin. I have been eyeing this for months and when I am at The Healthy Options, I will always test this on my skin and I always leave their store feeling happy. It is very light on the skin and very moisturizing. I don't mind the scent at all as it feels like I have tons of roses on top of my head as I use this. I am still trying it out and will update you on how good it works.

I treated myself a new sunblock this month and my personal choice is Biore Aqua Rich Whitening Essence with SPF 50 PA++++. I am challenging myself to minimize the use of make up for everyday just because I want to focus more on making my skin better in the long run so I am investing in skincare products rather than make up. And I choose this because I am hearing good news about the brand Biore and I want to jump on the bandwagon. So far, it works really nice. It makes a little difference in making my skin appear whiter after use, not sticky and has a light refreshing citrusy scent. I am still waiting for the result if it will help in whitening my dark spots and blemishes. I will let you know if it works.

The NYX HD Concealer is my first concealer ever. I never thought that I will need a concealer for everyday use but I have been convinced as this makes a huge difference on my over all look. It brightens my under eye area and has a medium coverage. It doesn't sit on the fine lines thus doesn't emphasize your wrinkles at all.

Lastly, the NYX Gloss for Girls in No, 8 is a gift from my bestfriend/cousin Ace. It is my first NYX lip product ever and so far, I am loving it. The shade is super pretty and it brightens up my face. Wait for my review and swatch for this.

That's the end of this post. I hope you have a great night and I will enjoy the rest of my night. :)

If you have read my review about Tony Moly Pure Eco Aloe Gel, you know that I love it! It really is a great product because it is light, hydrating and is super affordable! It is almost empty now since I am using it everyday for my whole body. I have maximize it and decided to use it for my whole body after all, aloe vera is known to be good for the skin, hair and for health as well.

It is a large tub of pure awesomeness!It contains 92% aloe gel. It actually feels like real aloe although the scent is not the same anymore.I prefer this one though, since it is more convenient to use than the real one. It doesn't contain any paraben, artificial dyes, trielthanolamine, mineral oil and benzophenone. It can also be used for sensitive skin. It is a great multi purpose product and I will share with you how I use this.

1. As a face moisturizer. Aloe vera is good in hydrating the skin. I like to use this a moisturizer during day time since it is light, my skin absorbs it easily, hydrating and is not sticky. It leaves my skin hydrated and smooth all day.

2. As a face mask. If I don't have facial masks at home or want to have a diy sesh, I chill this in the chiller for 15 minutes then apply an ample amount at some cotton squares or you can use a facial wipes and just cut holes for your eyes, nose and lips. It makes my face really cool, refreshed and relaxed.

3. As a body moisturizer. There are times when I don't feel applying lotion because I find it heavy and sticky after a few hours. I opt to using this aloe gel for my whole body and voila! No stickiness all day just smooth, hydrated skin.

4. As a hair mask. Aloe vera is also known to make hair soft and thicker. What I do is I scoop a handful of the product and massage it on my hair after shampoo focusing on the ends of the hair then leave it for about 10-15 minutes and rinse well. It makes my hair soft and it smells good on hair too. Just don't leave it on hair without rinsing because it tends to make the hair sticky.

5. As a soothing ice cube. I have done this just once and I love the effect of it! Put some of the product on a tray and put it on the freezer overnight or for two days. Just make sure that it is covered with a ziplock or label it as an aloe gel so it will not be mistaken for ice. Apply it on your face, sunburned skin, bug bites, and even on eyes. The cooling sensation helps soothe the skin and refreshes it and aloe vera is known for its soothing and healing properties. It reduces the redness of my bug bites and is a great for tired eyes too.

So that's it. I hope you have learned some tips from me and hope you can do this at home too. :)
