REVIEW : TONY MOLY Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub

Price - N/A
Where to buy - Goo Goo
Size - 9g

First impression? Cute, very cute packaging. To save some of you the trouble, the tub opens by twisting the top, just in case any of you decide to peel it open like we did. Must've been out of our tired minds to not think about trying to open it in an alternative way. Therefore the aftermath was the scrub in the tub got messed up but no big deal. Just be careful and twist that tub.

The ingredients for the scrub contain jojoba and macadamia oil butter. If you've been a beauty enthusiast, you should be familiar with the benefits of these two. Jojoba oil is known to be similar in its properties to the sebum on our skin. Therefore application will trick our skin to producing less oil on our skin. On the other hand, macadamia oil is a good antioxidant and it even protects your skin from getting sunburnt !

It is slightly scented, but no worries, it is pretty pleasant. The scrub is not too harsh and can also be used on dry lips directly. Upon washing off, it leaves plump soft lips which we really like. However we wished the packaging was a lot bigger, such little amount is just not enough. There also weren't any directions for use for the product so you could search it up online or you could just refer below.

Directions - Massage scrub on lips for 1 to 2 minutes. Cleanse lips with water or tissue. Apply lip balm after dabbing dry.

Verdict - We need a bigger tub for the same price.

REVIEW : 3CE Jumbo Lip Crayon

Price - USD16.51
Where to buy - Stylenanda

Exactly how it is called, 3CE's Jumbo Lip Crayon is such of a crayon. Or looking at it, it seems like a colour pencil. However the texture of it is more like a crayon, it is not dry and pretty moisturising. It is really impressive of 3CE to think of this because normally you would not expect much moisturising components in a pencil but this does work.

Got this in colour #WOMAN TO WOMAN. If you are planning to get a bright red colour, this colour is a bit more orangey in real life. We would suggest you get colour #MAD RED instead if you are looking for a sexy colour. This colour gives off a more fun look though, and really make your lips stand out. We really prefer this colour better on fairer skin. We are not sure if you could see in the comparisons of the photos below without and with flash, it actually looks more orangey than red.

What we really like about this particular product is it being just like a lip liner, but is actually a lip colour. This is because it comes in pencil form, well sort of. Why hasn't anyone created something like this earlier or if they had why not market it better? Well, the tip provides you the precision for you to fix it anytime easily. Instead of having to use a lipstick with such a wide surface, there is change you make mistakes and apply out of your lip line that will be harder to fix. Also even if you usually will use a brush, isn't it a fuss to carry a bigger product with brushes in it? Easily you could have a quick fix whether at a meeting, or a party.

This just works like a charm seriously. It glides on smoothly, and does not wear out fast, however it may stain other surfaces easily at first if you apply too thick of it of course. It is not drying, and has no smell to is as well. Will definitely be getting this in other colours in our next buy. An item that should be in girl/woman's handbag. An emergency item, a friend in need indeed !

REVIEW : 3CE Lip Lacquer

Price - USD20.81
Where to buy - en.stylenanda.com

Another innovative product from Stylenanda and 3CE. This product, their lip lacquer, comes off some sort as a lip gloss. Even from the packaging to the texture of it. It is nearly similar, both line of products. What really attracted us to try out this product would be its precision factor. This would mean ease of application when the colour runs out, and you're in a cramped party, what would you do? kind of situation. Its tip provides you with a slightly pointier tip just so you would not have to deal with a big surface of lipstick when you're tipsy or otherwise, just running around, collecting your friends.

We got this in two colours, #XX ORANGE and #HAWAIIAN PINK. Both colours are pretty fun colours, not the kind we would wear everyday, just as the pictures below. You can wear these colours especially to parties. The colours we chose are the colours that really pop and it really catches the eyes, perfect for fun times. The colours in real like look about nearly the same, in the pictures below without and then taken with flash.

This lip product lasts quite awhile. You want to be careful not to over apply the layers as it will just come off as messy and too thick. It is possible for only one dip to be used for your lips. The good thing about this lip lacquer is that is has a little glossy finish. Therefore, for those of you who do not like too much shine on a gloss, would like this. For those of you who like gloss this i already like coloured lip gloss, save your money on lip gloss separate from your lipstick. However as said, the shine is less.

For these colours, it again would suit fairer skin tones especially for the #XX ORANGE. If you are of a darker skin tone, you would want to choose another colour. Or if you intend to choose one of these, the #HAWAIIAN PINK would be better, but you also do not want too much contrast from your skin tone, you will look otherwise a lot darker. They come in 10 colours so no worries, you will be sure be able to find a colour that suits you.

REVIEW : 3CE Lip Marker

Price - USD16.51
Where to buy - Stylenanda

We have got ourselves two colours for this product. One in #Red and another in #Pink.  The red of course comes off easily but the pink, is a lot lighter so you would have to apply more than one layer for it. However, with one layer of pink, it actually looks pretty natural and it will give you this very innocent natural pink tint on your lips. If you try it on you hand, you can see as in the photos below. It comes of lighter on your skin as well, the colour actually looks more like it on your lips. And for the record, WE LOVE THIS PRODUCT ! Natural look, super natural !

A lot of you apply concealer on your lips before putting on any lipstick or so. For this marker, you do not do that. What we really want to applaud about this product is, the idea of it. With the marker, you could touch up easily, and there is more room for mistakes than lipsticks. This is because lipsticks, their colours and textures are thicker, and creamier. You could almost feel the product on your skin the whole time, and will usually end up staining your cup, or even your teeth. With this marker, all that is avoided, plus you look natural at it !

Application also comes easy. Treat this as a highlighter, it actually do look a lot like one, like above. Just simply, "draw" onto your lips ! Because the tip is thinner than your lipstick of course, it is easier. The size of it is about the same as a whiteboard rounded marker pen. Just simply draw on and add on your colour if you want a more vivid tone. Because its layers are so thin, it is easy to build up the product on your lips. It does not even feel heavy or you're having it on even with a few layers. It is not bulky.

What you may worry about by looking at it is if it will dry our your lips. The answer is no it does not. If you have naturally dry lips, you would just want to put on a thin layer of lip balm first and also drink lots of water ! Give this a try if you are into natural looking lips, or looking for a good lip tint.

REVIEW : 3CE Lip Color

Price - USD19.71
Where to buy - Stylenanda

Firstly, this will sound a lot more like a haul than review. Because we will be showing you two colours that we tried out, #409 KISS WOO and #506 DAILY LADY. We tried this two, mainly just because a girl should always have two basic colours. One a natural lip colour for the day, and something hot for the night. That is how you should start out, with just these two, you will be amazed.

On 3CE's lipsticks we were impressed and how long-wear it was.The colour last for quite long even with your lips constantly pursing on the rim of the glass. It sticks to your lips very well, which you will realise at the end of your day or night-out. It is moisturising and does not dry out your skin, you wont be left with cracked lips when you remove it. Application is easy as in glides on smoothly as well, not bad for a lipstick, pretty standard though.

#409 Kiss Woo, looks pretty dark as the photo above. It looks like RED red, if you get what we mean. However it actually comes off a little lighter. But all in all we were satisfied with this colour. As you can see below, if you decide to get this colour, a guide for you for the colour. Instead of the mature, old lady vibe, this colour gives off a younger sexy vibe. It's colour suits well if you got fair skin especially, or pale skin, the colour 'pops'. If you are tanned as well, like us, this colour will definitely brighten up your complexion but just wont look as good as on fair skin.

Now, onto the next colour, the #506 Daily Lady. It looks pinkish on the skin, but when you apply it especially more than 2 or 3 swipes, it starts to go pale. However this is not the kind of lipstick you would want to put more than a layer or two, the colour would be best at a natural colour. The packaging came a little different from the #409 Kiss Woo as well, it is not rounded at the ends anymore and instead its with sharp sides. The lip color is as below.

As you can see above, it is quite a lady colour. And as below photos with flash and without flash. It might look dark on the skin but it is the colour that will come out on your lips. The colour that rubs off on your lips is gonna be the same as the stick, what you see is what you get, no surprises there. For a lipstick colour like this, you would want minimal make up with it. The lighter the better. If you have darker skin tone, best if you do not over apply or you will end up looking a little burnet. The same effect if you put a pale orange colour to your lips.

One more thing about this lipstick is that it does not go on oily on your lips. Most moisturising lipsticks have this oily feel to them and goes on pretty heavy sometimes. So far so good for this product from 3CE, it lasts well, does not crack you up and is not heavy to put on. But if there is another brand of lipstick that you like with some other colour, there should not be much competition amongst lipsticks. At this age, they are all pretty good.

REVIEW : 3CE Lip Pigment

Price - USD13.21
Where to buy - Stylenanda
Size - 11g

So, what exactly is a lip pigment? We went over to 3CE's website with the same question in mind. Of course, everyone was raving about it, and you would feel left out if you did not know 3CE's lip pigment ! It is of course for your lips, and its like some sort of a lip colour. When we first received this, it really reminded of those watercolour days back in school, those in tubes. This kind of works and the texture of it is the same way too.

Why should you buy this? Firstly, it is just so fun to mix and match your colours instead of having the same boring ones. What we really like was, how we could easily mix the colours to get a certain shade we wanted. Example, you are looking for a soft pink lipstick colour. Truth be told how many pink lipsticks do you have to buy on an average before you hit the right colour? Some of us even lived with a substitute colour that is closest to the shade we want and just settle with it. With 3CE's lip pigment tho, they even have it in white and 6 other colours for you to play mix with (above photo). On the official website they even have a list of mixes you can try, and it is as attached below !

Now, you know it is fun, but as a lip colour, how is it? Surprisingly, it stays on pretty long. You can go half a day easily barely having to touch up if you choose the lighter colours. It does not sit too heavily on your lips as well. For this product, you would not have to apply too much of your lip balm as it does not dry out and crack your lips. And also, the colour is pretty much the same with and without flash, as also maybe because we tried this out in #Issue and #Electro Pink. You can check out the colour as below for #Electro Pink.

For the next interesting part, yes this is made for your lips. But easily, you could apply it on your eyelids, it will act as an eyeshadow and even blusher. Use it on your face wherever and whenever you want. Some of the examples of usage of it other than on your lips is as below.

Our problem was after application when we had to clean the mess. Our advice is, instead using the back of your hand to mix, use smtg else that can act as your palette. Maybe a bottle cap, or a container cover, you get what we mean. Also you have to keep cleaning your brush or it will get sticky and harden. There might be instances when you press out too much product and end up wasting too, so the trick is to always be careful when pressing the cream out, however with time, you will learn the exact amount you need.

Bottom line is, this is pretty fun other than the mess later on. Not bad at all, an "A" for creativity !

REVIEW - 3CE APPLE TINT

Price - USD12.11
Where to buy - en.stylenanda.com
Size - 9g

We got this in the colour pink. Do note if you look on the site there is another colour, orange, as well. The little bottle has a brush attached to the cap for product application. We bought this out of curiosity and also that lip tint has recently became very popular. And this review is based on this being our first lip tint ever, yes.

What we liked about this product, was how easily it spreads. It does also depend on how you purse your lips but it cant be that hard to do it evenly. In interesting part would be the gradient, how it goes from dark to light. Darker from the point of where you applied it. It is easy and mess free.

For application, all you have to do is dab an amount of it in the inner area of your lips, then simply just smudge them out. It is obviously mess free because it will smudged out to your lips, meaning, no use for lip liners and messy touchups for the outside of your lips in case you make a mistake. Steps are as below.

3CE got us extra hooked at buying this also because of its function. Not only is it for the lips, you'll be surprised it can be used for your cheeks as well. Just dab dots on the top of your cheekbones and then smudge it our in circular motion quickly. Such as below.

However, we used it our own way which was to create a gradation of pink from the inner to outer of our lips. All you have to do is dab the colour in the inner part of your lips and then purse your lips together.

We have yet to try it on our cheeks but we are pretty confident it works as it did on the lips. Firstly, the colour we had was quite light. You might have to put on about 2 to 3 layers before you can achieve the pink we see on the site. On durability, it lasts on pretty well, even after a meal it stays on pretty well, and can last up to nearly a whole day till dinner. We would recommend this if you're looking for something fun and different.
