Real Natura Organics Soft Matte Lip Gem Swatches + Review!



To be quite honest, I have never tried out any organic lipstick so I was really excited when real natura organics sent me these last week. I was already browsing through their products before they sent me these because of the other bloggers that I talked to have loved and raved about their products. So I really appreciate the generosity and the opportunity to try them out.



Item Description: (Copied from realnaturaorganics instagram acc.)
Soft Matte Lip Gem
Organic + Vegan
Weather-Proof
SPF 15
Add some natural color to your lips today with Natura Organics line of organic lipstick. Whether you're after a bold red, understated pink or something in between, you'll find it here within our extensive collection. Not only that, but our lipstick line is also entirely free from any potentially skin-harming chemicals, toxins and parabens!


Price:
P659 each ($14.42 USD)

What do I think of this product?
First of all, I love the color selections! Most of them are the shades that I could see myself testing , swatching or grabbing from the counter. The scents are all the same for each of them, scented but smells almost like a powdery perfume scent. I don't know if it's because it's new but nonetheless, not actually bothersome. So I decided to do a little description for each shades. Note that my lips are very pigmented already so this may apply differently to you. My skin is fair if you wanted a general idea on what it may look like on that skin tone.



803 Juicy Orange
If you are into that orange-y lip shade then you'd definitely enjoy this one. It does stain on the lips and the stains looks like you ate a flaming hot cheeto which I'm not complaining, I kinda like it!
804 Sultry Twist  
A red lipstick with an orange undertone. I find this color very comfortable to wear if you are all about the red lip life but wouldn't want to be too bold about it.
805 Coral Mauve 
 Really light pink lipstick. I don't know why but for some reason when I swatch and wore this, all I could think about is Paris Hilton 2002 or back when she had this really glossy bright pink lip. This lipstick does look glossy but has a dry match finish when you wear it.
806 Naked Berry
This is a neon pink lipstick. Perfect if you wanna make a statement or when you are heading to a fun night out. It does leave a stain on the lips almost the exact same shade as when you apply it. Very long lasting.
807 Poppy Velvet
I don't know how else to describe it other than it being a muted kind of red on my lips. Almost looks natural with a hint of an orange-y undertone. Although it's red, I feel that this one is very comfortable to wear as an everyday too.
808 Wine Plum
On all the red shades, this one would have to be my favorite. Actually this one would be my favorite in all of them. It is a deep berry red with cool undertones. I would say that this would be a perfect red for fall or a chill evening on Christmas.
809 Caramel Glaze
This is a nude beige lipstick. I do love my nude lipsticks so I would most likely be reaching out for this the most everyday. So simple and pigmented that I'd definitely enjoy wearing.
810 Cocoa Cabernet
A brown-ish lipstick. Although it isn't that pigmented for me, I find it almost having a red undertone to it. Very cute if you build it up.
Left-Right: Based on the list above.


Is it worth the money?
If you are into organic, vegan makeup then I would highly recommend checking these out because they are all very lovely plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I was taught that organic makeup does not expire because they are using all natural products. So if you are planning on getting some of these shades but will probably not wear it every single day then it's fine too since it'll last you for awhile.

So that is it for this review and I hope that you've found this useful if you are looking into trying this product out or just want to find an organic lipstick or brand. Leave a comment down below if you have any more further questions or suggestions or if you've tried out these lipsticks, how have they worked for you?

Review: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream





Aloha lovely, I am here again to review 2 of my NYX soft matte lip cream colors on how do they look, feel and does it apply well on my lips. Anyway, before I bought these two I actually went online to read reviews about them. The ones that have tried this have split in half so let's see which side I'm gonna be on.


The colors that I currently have as of today are "Istanbul" and "Abu Dhabi". I actually purchased Istanbul first because before that, I purchased a Matte lipstick from NYX also. It was in the color Butter Beurre. Although, I liked that one, my mother told me I should go lighter next time since she thinks I'm too young to experiment with those darker colors. So I took her advice and when I tried the Istanbul, at first I was abit skeptical about it since it looked abit too strong so I told the saleslady that was assisting me that I'll be back and see how it is while I'm going about. I actually love how it looked throughout the day and decided to purchase it when I came back. I purchased the Abu Dhabi next when I visited their shop because I wanted the nude look and I never really tried that color on me on any other brands too.






Item Description: Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft matte lip cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing.

Price: I lost the receipt but I think that the price is P390 and I bought mine at SM Megamall.



What I think of this product?:



I love the colors. You might think that the Istanbul color may be abit too strong but when you want to wear minimal makeup but still stand out, then this color is great. For Abu Dhabi, I like this one too but I guess its not really the color I was looking for. It looked great when I was testing it, but after a few days of wearing this, I wanted something abit more lighter or "nude-r". 

Swatching it on my hands, you could see that with only 1 stroke of each, the color is very opaque / pigmented and I do only need to apply 1 coating on my lips. 



Abu Dhabi
Istanbul
About the texture of it, this is what I'm not a fan of actually, since it does dry out my lips (especially visible on the Istanbul color) and leave out some lines on the lips too. What I did do is apply a little more lip balm before I apply this, and be sure that the lipbalm I use is colorless because I did try my cherry chapstick before this and the color wasn't that good. 


Using the Abu Dhabi color.

For how long does it stay, or how fast it comes off, when I eat, it does fade a little bit but the color is still there. But of course, having dry lips it does leave patches. If I wanted to reapply, then I would have to clean up my lips first and do the lip balm first step. But if I was just walking around, doing some grocery shopping or shopping in general, its pretty good. It lasts quite long with just the color fading abit.

Will I repurchase? Honestly, I think I just wanna finish these two off and try some other products. I don't think matte is for me until I get my lips hydrated or get it "un-chapped". I think this will be good for those who don't have chapped lips and who loves matte finish.





Using the Istanbul color.



That's all for this review guys and hope that this has helped you for your insights on this product.
Do +1 or comment about your experience and what color you tried out or suggest me products that you think is the same but may be better. 

Thanks for the read, until the next blog 
Joyce

Ps: I'm sorry, my camera just doesn't do justice for the colors.
