Review NYX Round Lipstick in Paparazzi Shade

Hi readers!

   I've been reading good reviews about NYX lipsticks and that's where I got my interest to try one. My sister played her makeup and makeover me, she applied NYX lipstick in Paris shade on my lips (you can read the story here). I like the creamy texture and the color, so, when I got the time, I visited the Digital Traincase branch in Rockwell. First, I was looking for Paris shade, but it was out of stock. I tried another color and did some swatches. The nearest shade to Paris is Paparazzi. 

Nyx Round Lipstick in Paparazzi
Product Code: LSS512A
Net wt.: 4g/0.14oz


Product Ingredient:
Ceresin, Tridecyl Trimellitate, 2-Ethytheyl Palmitate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutens, Beeswax, Mineral Oil, Microcrystallline Wax, Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhdroystearate, Polythylene, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Simmondsia Chinesis(Jojoba) Seed Oil, Copernicia Cerifera(Carnauba) Wax, Polyhydroxysteric Acid, Polybutene,Perfume, Propylparaben, Dibuty Hydroxy Toluene, Red Iron Oxide(C177491), D&Red No.7(C177019), Titanium Dioxide(C177891).

Pros (What I like):

1. It has a rich creamy texture that smoothes and moisturizes lips. For me, no need to apply lip balm before applications. 
2. Medium / Even pigmentation.
3. Very affordable, got this for only P150 pesos. 
4. Smells good. For some, they might be bothered by the smell but for me I like the floral and soapy smells, unlike other lipstick that smells waxy (even freshly manufactured). 
5. I like the packaging style.  The bottom package shows the sample color of the lipstick which I can easily preview or identified when it's in my purse. 

Cons (What I don't like)

1. Poor lasting power. It easily fades
2.  The color may not suit to everyone. This color is best for those who have  fair skin. I have Morena skin color, the shade was not that much flatter on me (check the image below). 
3. Need  3 or more applications.

   Even I dislike the lasting power of this lipstick, I still like to use it (actually, I'm using it now). Someone said the color or shade made my look different, maybe because I often used neutral, brown-red, peach tone color. I think this color is best to wear this summer. ^_^


Very handy. I bought this at Digital Traincase in their Rockwell Branch.
In black packaging. Color label place on the top lid.

A-gantea

Hi readers!

  Last May 07, after my assessment in John Robert Power I went to Greenbelt and I saw A-gantea store. Since, I collected reviews of milk teas, I tried it. A-gantea is located in Greenbelt 2, beside National Bookstore and Qoola. I google it, and found out that this was their first branch here in Manila, it was originally from Taiwan. 
  
Agantea, Greenbelt 2

Buzzer or Pager. If order is ready for pick-up,  this pager will buzz and light up.

I order plain milk tea, it cost only P75.00 for medium size
(my stomach was full that time, so I ordered plain milk tea less the pearl or tapioca)
My order
Over-all experienced: 

       The place - I like the location. They offer indoor and outdoor venue. Indoor, you can sit at the second floor and enjoy the view outside while outdoor, you can sit beside the plants and trees and enjoy the cozy environment while mingling with friends. I sat in the outdoor area, since I'm alone that time I enjoyed watching people passing by while sipping my milk tea (^_^). I also like the furniture and interior.

      The milk tea - I like the taste. I tasted different milk tea, this one is much creamier. To taste is to believe (^_^) - you should try this one :)

       The price is affordable. For as low as P75.00 you can enjoy milk tea. If you want Pearl milk tea it cost only 85.00. Price range from 75.00 to 100 pesos only.

       The service is good. They serve my order so quick. The service crew were friendly too.

A-gantea is available in Greenbelt 2, Ayala Center, Makati.
