According to www.nyxcosmetics.com, NYX Whipped Lip and Cheek Souffle is "a two-in-one mousse that can be used to precisely line lips and on the apples of your cheeks for a soft, natural flush".

Packaging 

This product is packaged very similarly to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream (let's call it NYX SMLC for short) which I have already reviewed previously, albeit this one comes in a stubbier tube. The tube is made out of plastic that has the same color with the product inside. It pretty much has the same aesthetics as the NYX SMLC.  Written in the back are some details together with the list of the ingredients. I didn't bother getting a photo of the back part because the prints have already faded. Ooops!

Check out the applicator. I've seen something similar with this in my L'Oreal liquid lip products. I'm pretty cool with this design since I can use the pointed tip to outline my lips and my cupid's bow and I can use the wider part to shade my lips.

Since the ingredients list at the back has already faded, I lifted this one from the NYX website:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Diisostearyl Malate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Mineral Oil/Paraffinum Liquidum/Huile Minérale, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Tocopheryl Acetate, Alumina, Barium Sulfate (CI 77120), Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance/Parfum, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal. MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR (+/-): Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Red 6 (CI 15850), Red 7 (CI 15850)

Swatch

Trehalose - A humectant that attracts moisture to the skin, keeping it hydrated 

Niacinamide - Brightens and clarifies the skin 

Adenosine - Energizes the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 

Pomegranate extract - Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants for brightening and anti-aging properties

It's very affordable but the glass  packaging is really nice and durable too, you wouldn't feel it's less than Php 500.00. It performs well. What's not to love? This is something that I would love to repurchase.

Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick

Shade: Posie K

Price: $17.00 USD or roughly 900.00 Philippine Peso

Where To Buy: www.kyliecosmetics.com

I've always wanted to try out Kylie's popular liquid lipsticks, especially Posie K but I wasn't ready to shell out such big cash. Luckily, I found an Instagram seller who sold a mini. This one, judging from its magenta cap, was part of the Valentine's Collection. Per usual, a full-sized liquid lipstick comes in a tube with a black cap. I don't know if the mini's packaging is made with the same material with the full-sized one but the packaging does not feel very lux for me. The labels don't fade though, no matter how long I've used it so I'll give it to them. 

According to the Kylie Cosmetics website, this particular shade is the "Winner of the 2017 Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Award for Best Bright Pink Lipstick" and that should count for something. Although in my opinion this isn't a bright pink, this is definitely a lovely pink - my kind of pink. It doesn't scream "look at me" but it enhances my overall look as a wearer and although you won't be asking for it, it's bound to bring in some compliments. ;)

Now, on to the nitty-gritties. 

I'm the type of cosmetics user who takes time to sniff everything that I put on my face. Raise your hands if you are just like me. This product's smells really good - like candy. It fades away after application. It has a creamy formula that applies with slight tug on the lips but looks smooth. Take note: in my observation, it dries pretty quickly so there's not much time for swiping the applicator all over your lips. It sets to a powdery matte finish. I'll have to admit that there's a slight bit of discomfort while wearing it; like there's a feeling of tightness. It doesn't transfer.

It has good pigmentation and will stay put and the color will stay vibrant even up to five hours if you don't eat or drink. At least that's the longest that I've tried. With a full meal though, especially oily Filipino food, it fades, especially on the inner part of the lip. But you know what, this is probably one of the lipsticks out there that looks good to me even after a meal. That is because it leaves a pink stain. There was even a time when I decided not to touch up my lips after having a meal and the stain still looked good even at the end of the day.

Will I want to buy the full sized version?
You know what they say about finding a shade that looks good on you and sticking with it? Well, I may have found  I favorite pink in Posie K. But the thing is, it really could break your budget and I know many women share the same sentiments, especially the working mamas out there. So now that I have found the pink that works for me, the goal has been to find the dupe and I am glad to report that there are plenty of dupes of this shade. Kylie Cosmetics is manufactured by the same company that makes Colourpop Cosmetics and there's a bevy of shades that come close to Posie K. Even our local Vice Cosmetics has a pink that falls under the dusty-mauve-pink shade and I have been eyeing it for a while now. So I'll lay it down here clearly, if I have the cash to spare, I really would love to stock up on this lovely shade but as it turns out I have other spending priorities so I'll stick with the affordable dupes for the mean time. We are lucky that we live in a time when cosmetic companies have really upped the quality of their products and with that cheaper products doesn't mean low quality. Y'know what I'm sayin'?
