[REVIEW] VASELINE Lip Therapy

Hey guys! So here's another review on a lip product. When I was walking through the lip counters in Watsons, where they sell Lip Smacker, Lip Ice, Baby Lips, Chapstick etc., I found this product, the Vaseline Lip Therapy. I wasn't originally buying this but I realized that I needed one because my lips always gets chapped and normally it would last for a week! So, I decided to grab this one. They had it in two kinds: the original one and the Cherry one. I go the Cherry one because I'm obsessed with lip products that has scent and taste.

Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cherry

It came in a small tube at 10g. It came in with it's red cap which is a "screw-like" cap and with a very simple label which I actually like. At the back portion, you could actually see complete labeling information. It has the Active Ingredient, Use, Warning, Inactive Ingredients, Contact Numbers, Manufacturing details and I think they also have the Batch Number. It's a huge plus for me! Though it didn't come in it's expiration date, I don't really care. I know it's important. It's a Vaseline we're talking about! They have the same active ingredient, the White Petrolatum, USP. Our Vaseline Petroleum Jelly lasts forever by the way. So, when you open the "screw-like" cap, you'll see the opening of the product. The "portal of exit" of the product. I find it really unique because most of the lip products that came in a tube came in a slanted flat tip to dispense the product but this one is actually round-headed! I find it so cool!!

Back of the tube

Red screw-like cap.

The product just mainly contains White Petrolatum, USP just like the usual Vaseline. Well, I could say that they're definitely the same. The main reason that I bought is because I know that Petroleum Jelly works best on your lips. I know, why shouldn't I have the petroleum jelly on my lips then? Well, because 1) I believe that every product is made for a purpose and this is product is made especially for the lips! 2) It is so handy. 3)Petroleum jelly gets really messy on my hands as I get a product. With this I could just pop it outside my bag and place small amount of the product on my forefinger and place them on my lips while my teacher is discussing without them knowing that I'm already applying my lip therapy. It came in as a clear and colorless lip product.

I actually like this very much. I use them at least twice a day. I use it after I do my skincare routine even before I sleep. My lips get chapped on the summer. I know, most people have their lips chapped at winter or cold season but I actually have them when it's hot. It usually takes too long to treat it but with this, I think it made wonders on me. It might not instantly work for a day but it gets better! I make sure that this product is in my beauty essential kit on my bag. I need them! I like the fact that it doesn't have color. I know it said on the packaging that it is Cherry, and I assure you it is. It tastes and smells like cherries! I also actually use this product as my base when applying my lip tints because they'll look better. They'll look more vibrant. So yeah. This one could be one of my "products that I couldn't live without" alongside with my Caladryl Lotion.

Anyway, it's not that long lasting but i actually love it. I know some reviewers would say, "Oh, you're just putting a wax on your lips." But mind you, it's actually does it jobs on me. Some people might prefer the chapstick but I actually like this better. It costs me more or less Php75.00 I think? I don't remember pretty well but yeah, they're good on my opinion.

Have you tried this product yet? Any experiences with other lip therapies that works well on chapped lips? Comment below your suggestions. I'll talk to you guys later! Bye. :)

[REVIEW] AIDO Magic Lipstick

Magic Lipstick is actually a color changing lipstick. They have different vibrant color (yellow, blue, violet, orange) on the outside but when you swatch it on your lips, it would turn into a very pretty color. I first heard it from my mom when I was a little bit younger. She had this golden lipstick that I was always afraid to use but then I later realize that it turns to a bold red color.

Now, back in the recent time. South Korea has recently been bringing out color changing balms. I think Tony Moly has one with a black kitty on it's cap. Philippines have their own version and retained "Magic Lipstick" as a name. I've seen Careline (which I was so tempted to buy), Ever Bilena (which I absolutely like) and I've seen Aido (which I'm going to review right now).

This came in three shades/flavors. I got the number 2 shade because it is yellow and I was hoping that it would look as good as my Ever Bilena one  (I have it in Lemon btw). They didn't have the tester so I was a little bit hesitant to buy. But because of it's cheap price Php50, I told to myself that it wouldn't waste a lot of money right?

The packaging came in a clear plastic with the brand name and some sparkly print on the top part. I actually really love the packaging. It is so simple which I usually like and it really looks good. The shade number is printed in a clear sticker.

Isn't it so pretty?

The product. I hate to admit it but I really hate it. Not to sound rude or anything but the smell itself made me not use it on my lips. It smells like chemicals that I would probably be using on my laboratory exercises in school for Inorganic Medicinals. Okay, I'll give you a hint on how it smells. It smells so like a muriatic acid, the concentrated one. Yes guys, the thing that you probably use when you're cleaning your bathrooms. I never had the courage to bring this near my lips because of the irritating smell and I was worried that I would be putting muriatic acid on my lips. Agh! I don't know if it's just the product that I have but...I expected too much. I actually swatched it on the back of my hands and it looked so pretty. But...I needed to get a sanitizer and alcohol to remove the smell of it.

Eww! My hand looks so flaky and yuck! I sincerely apologize.

I wish they made it smell a little bit better because I actually like the color. I don't know if every magic lipstick of Aido are the same but here's the Lot number and manufacturing date of the product in my hands.

To sum it up. I hate this product. I try so hard to put this on my lips but the smell is really strong. I hate products that has unwanted smell on it, especially this one. This is actually my worst buy ever since I started collecting make up. I wouldn't recommend it especially if the products are all the same.


Did you have the same product? Did you also had this "muriatic acid" smell on it? Have you tried it on your lips? Do you have recommendations or request on what should I make a review next? Comment below and let me know if it's just my product that has this bad smell.

[REVIEW] SAN SAN Waterproof Mascara

Hey readers! It's been so long since I posted a review here in my blog. Today, since I'm not busy with school, I'm going to do one. So, today's product's gonna be San San Waterproof Mascara with Vitamins A, C, E.

So, I got mine in black. I originally wanted the clear one but I didn't know what got me to get the black one instead. I seriously don't have any idea.

The packaging is in blue metallic color. It's actually pretty light and thin and the shade or color is just printed in a black sticker paper at the bottom of the bottle.

If you're looking for a great mascara for starters like me, then I could recommend this for you. There are better drugstore brand mascaras out there but this one does its's job too. It smells powdery and I don't know if that's a good thing for everybody but I'm not actually bothered by it.

The formula isn't heavy. Actually, it feels light and it didn't dry out on me yet! Can you believe it? I bought this on a sale I think last January but it still of the same quality. I know they say that you should change your mascara after 3 months but.. pfft! I don't use it everyday anyway.

The wand is curved with bristles on it. I absolutely love the wand because it made it easier for me to apply. I have the Ever Bilena with silicone brush and I would always find myself poking my eyes. Seriously!

As long as it dries on your lashes, it would stay long. I never experienced any smudges like other mascaras that I have tried. It claims to be waterproof. I'm not actually sure. But what I'm sure of is that when you're just using to wipe it off, then, you'll be having a hard time. It does smudge though when you try to remove it with water. So I don't think that makes it waterproof but maybe a water resistant.

My experience: My lashes are naturally long (my elder sister's lashes are longer though) so I just apply a thin coat on it. It doesn't feel so heavy and I don't think it makes my lashes "spidery".

This is how it looks like when I open my eyes.

 You see, my lashes are already long enough and the mascara

just intensified it.

(Sorry for my untrimmed brows)

Personally, I liked it very much. I actually use this few times at school too. I don't need much volume and length because I don't really need it.

I actually forgot how much it costs but I believe it's more or less Php100. I'm not exactly sure on the price.


So that's it for this blog post. If you have any suggestions on what I should review next, you could tell me on the comment section and I'll try to find it (if I don't have that item in my hand yet) and do a review as soon as I can.
