Swatch and Review : Maybelline New York Lip Polish in Pop 6

Oh hi ! Happy Tuesday...girls!

I realised recently I have been really crazy about lip colour. Do you still remembered my review on Maybelline New York Lip Polish Lip Polish 2 months ago, well till today I still love them... like I said in my previous review.... they are really affordable and the colours pay off are great!

And last month I picked up a new shade from Watsons Pavilion, it was having at sale at RM13 each rather than their usual RM32.90! Unbelievable right? 

And I picked up Pop 6 because I always love red lip colour!

The swatch of Maybelline New York Lip Polish Pop 5 alongside with my other colours such as Pop 6, Glam 3 and Glam 6. I won't say much here as I had already share my review on these lip polish in my previous review here.

Absolutely beautiful shade right this Maybelline New York Lip Polish in Pop 6 right? It comes in bright red with a hint of coral. Could you also see the tiny micro shimmer ?

This is my complete look using Maybelline New York Lip Polish Pop 5

Don't you think red lip colour will brighten up our look instantly? I felt I look fairer when I use a red lip colour and looks more fresh when I use shade like pink or coral.

Top (L-R) : Glam 3, Glam 6

Which is your favourite Maybelline Lip Polish by Color Sensational shade?

Review & Swatch : Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato : Lip & Cheek Color - I'm totally sold!

I was introduced Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato : Lip & Cheek Color a while ago and I was not allowed to blog about this until it is available at the store. And yes finally this has hit all Shu Uemura's counter and I can't wait to tell you more!

As most of you know Gelato in Italian means ice-cream. And this refers to the creamy fresh texture and delicious colors of ice-cream! Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato : Lip & Cheek Color comes in different textures from cream base and range from glittery to glossy and to matte finishing.

According to Mr. Shu Uemura's philosophy "Colors are like personalities, they are infinite . I want women to enjoy make-up more freely". Hence this Tint in Gelato Lip & Color can be mix and match to reflect a infinite color variations and multitude of different effects that can be achieved. 

Swatch of Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato Lip & Cheek Color 

Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato Lip & Cheek Color comes in 12 beautiful colours designed to flatter every skin tone. All these would be permanent collection, except for 2 limited edition colour which is AT 04 (Lemon Souffle) and BG 01 (Puffy Chocolate)

All this swatch is done with only just 1 swipe, as you can the colour are really pigmented and this is due to their innovation Controllable Coverage and it has a special ingredient called Elastomeric Gel which gives a very soft and silky, sensorial texture for easy spreading and blending.

With thin application, it results in semi-matte look with a natural sheen finish or use layering for a good color pay off.

Ingredients list on Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato Lip & Cheek Color

Finally I picked Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 01 and AT 02 for review. Red is my favourite lip colour hence I picked AT 01 Cassis Red and I picked up AT 02 Sugar Plum because this dark fuchsia colour is one of the sharpest colour among all. 

The packaging comes in metallic tube, a simple yet practical packaging as it does not take much space in our handbags.

How to use Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato Lip & Cheek Color? It's pretty simple. 

For lips : Glide on Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato on your lips with the given applicator and use lip brush to draw a defined lip if you want. 

For cheeks : Put a dot of Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato on your cheek and starts blending outwards with your fingertips  for a semi-matte with natural sheen finishing. Remember to use this AFTER your liquid foundation or BEFORE your compact foundation.

Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 01 in Cassis Red

Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 01 in Cassis Red comes in classic red colour. It is the most pigmented colour among all the 12 colours and this has the best lasting power of all. 

Texture : Creamy mousse texture but not sticky at all
Pigmentation : Very High ( Just 1 swipe is good enough)
Scent : None

The Shu Uemura's applicator comes in oval shape, it's really soft like suede and pick up the product well. Go light hand with this, because a little goes a long way! There are 2 finishing that can be created using this Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato depending whether you apply a thin or thick coat on your lips. Let me show you how it looks

I applied a very thin coat of Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato on my lips and blend using my finger (or you can use a lip brush) for a soft-matte finish.

For a more dewy satin finishing, apply one thick coat of Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato. The colour is absolutely stunning and looks really great on any skin tone!

I had Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 01 in Cassis Red on my lips and cheek. It was really easy to blend on my cheek and do remember it's really pigmented so a very little amount would be sufficient.

I love my soft flushed cheek colour! After a long day outside and with 2 meals in between, surprisingly I still can see the red colour stain left on my lips. As for my cheek, the colours last me a good whole day! And if you are into red lip colour, this is totally recommended!

Remember to go light with the eyes makeup when you have such a strong lip colour

Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 02 in Sugar Plum

Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 02 in Sugar Plum comes in fuchsia colour. This is the 2nd most pigmented colour after Cassis Red.

Texture : Creamy mousse texture but not sticky at all
Pigmentation : Very High ( Just 1 swipe is good enough)
Scent : None

As I prefer a more creamy & smooth finishing so I applied a  layer of Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 02 in Sugar Plum generously on my lips before using lip brush to define the lips.

After a long day outside, and with meals in between, the colour dried up to a matte finish. 

On my face I had Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in AT 02 in Sugar Plum on my lips and cheek. This colour is very pigmented hence you must use really really little on your cheek to achieve this finishing. This Sugar Plum colour is one very classy colour to wear for night events, yet with a thin layer of application and good blending it can works well as day colour too. As now I'm into blue colour dress, I realised this colour matches blue really well.

Which colour do you like on me ? Left (AT 01 Cassis Red) or AT 02 (Sugar Plum)

Tips : For a matte stained look, use the fingers to blend and for a more dewy shiny finishing, please use the applicator or brush to apply.

Honestly I am sold - take my money! 

I absolutely adore the cream mousse texture and the different finishing it can delivers! This Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato is non sticky or drying yet pigmented, hence one layer is good enough to give a full opaque coverage. To me this is a hybrid lip product as this can works as lip colour and lip gloss as well.

Now Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato Lip & Cheek AT 02 in Sugar Plum is now permanently staying in my handbag as I think this is a great colour to wear and very easy to use when I need a quick touch up to glam up! And when I was at their counter few days ago, AT 04 Lemon Souffle (limited edition colour) caught my eyes as it has really fine golden shimmer and could apply on top on other colours to give more shine or to create an ombre/3D effects. I am thinking to get this!

Some may say RM90 is expensive but then again to me this is a 2 in 1 product ( or rather 3 in 1 as this can works as lip colour, lip gloss and blusher!) so I think this justify the price. Most importantly a little of this product goes a long way and there is not much of touch up needed! So I think it's quite a saving in long run! 

Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato Lip & Cheek is now available in all Shu Uemura Malaysia outlets for RM90 for 5.4ml.

Review & Swatches : Maybelline New York Lip Polish by Color Sensational - A must pick up for lips lover!

Before Maybelline New York officially launched the new Lip Polish by Color Sensational I had checked them on Watsons on December last year. I went home to google and found out that it was named Maybelline Color Elixir by Color Sensational Lip Color in some countries like USA.

In Malaysia we have only 10 shades compared to oversea they had 20 shades. Comes in pocket friendly size, this Maybelline New York Lip Polish plastic packaging does not look cheap but as nice as those in beauty counter brand. 

From the look of the packaging you might be thinking this is just another lipstick but it's NOT. Maybelline New York Lip Polish is a 3 in 1 potion , combining a balm, lipstick and gloss. 

It claims that it has a perfect blend of sweet and sensual, the smooth, lightweight formula of Lip Polish delivers a moisturizing liquuid balm that prep lips for intensely rich color. 

Here I'm going to share with you the swatch and a detail review of Maybelline New York Lip Polish Glam 3, Pop 5 and Glam 6 shade.

One layer of swatch of Maybelline New York Lip Polish Glam 3, Pop 5 and Glam 6 shade. The colour is so pigmented! The magic lies in a formula that combines the ingredients found in a conditioning balm with rich, pure pigments and a high gloss topcoat.

The texture of Maybelline Lip Polish by Color Sensational Lip Color is creamy but NOT STICKY! Now I remembered that how I don't usually like lip gloss because its usually sticky and not comfortable to wear. 

Also Maybelline New York Lip Polish is unscented and compare to the review I read on Maybelline Color Elixir which has creme brulee scent. Personally I do not like my lip product to have any scent so was glad to find that our formula is a little bit different from those in USA.

The applicator wand is quite unique, from the front it looks like a leaf shape and it can bendable up to 180 degree. A dose of creamy balm cling

I quite like their bristle as it picks up the product nicely and very easy to apply it smoothly on my lips. For darker shade, need a little more technique though. 

Maybelline New York Lip Polish Glam 3 review -I t's  bright orange colour with micro shimmer. 

Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 3 on my lips

I applied 1 layer of Maybelline New York Polish Glam 3 and it was good enough. Super shiny and spot the micro shimmer on my lips.

Out of the 3 shades that I would be reviewing,  Maybelline New York Polish Glam 3 is the easiest to carry and it would match any skin tone and any ocassion. And if you wanted to give Maybelline New York Lip Polish a try, this is one shade I would definitely recommend!

Maybelline New York Lip Polish Pop 5 review - sweet pink shade 

Maybelline Lip Polish Pop 5 on my lips

I applied 1 layer of Maybelline New York Polish Pop 5 and it was good enough. If you notice this has no shimmer. 

Maybelline Lip Polish Pop 5 shade is very sweet and I feel young wearing them.

 Maybelline New York Polish Glam 6 review - is a deep berry shade 

 Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 6 on my lips

This colour needs a little bit effort in applying effort in applying as among all other shades this is the most pigmented one. No shimmer spotted here too.

I don't usually fancy shade like this as I feel kinda a little mature/old wearing them. However with the right occasion and makeup (i.e light makeup on eyes) this shade is quite classy to carry. 

Maybelline Lip Polish does live up to the expectation that it does not make my lips drying. The color is smooth,  intense and captivating too! Generally the lighter shade of Maybelline Lip Polish such as Glam 3 and Pop 5 lasts for a few good hours before I need to re-apply them. And this 2 shades does not leave any stain on my lips. 

As you can see Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 6 shade is the most pigmented one among three. And after 10 hours of wearing, even though the gloss is gone but it would leave a very nice berry stain on my lips. Mind you, you can't remove this using warm water and proper lips makeup remover is needed here.  

Maybelline Lip Polish by Color Sensation is so far my favourite lip gloss and out of 3 shades here, I am carrying Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 3 in my handbag daily.

Which Maybelline Lip Polish shades do you prefer ? 

Maybelline Lip Polish by Color Sensational is selling in Malaysia for RM32.90 . In Malaysia we have a total of 10 shades. Maybelline is sold exclusively at all Watsons, Guardians, Sasa & Caring pharmacies. And ocassionally they will have 10-15% discount, so do keep a look for it. 

I think I'm going to pick out more shades to try because it's really affordable and live up to the expectations and raves that I have been hearing!
