Aido Classic Lipstick in Shade H, F and K: Review and Swatches

Hi there! Long time no post! :D I RARELY update my blog because I'm just toooo busy.

I'm hoping that 2014 is gonna be a big year for me. This year I'll be graduating (hooooray!), then on March I'll be taking my ECT board exam and then my ECE board exam will be on September. So yea... I got a lot of studyin to do and I just can't squeeze in some time to write blog posts.

But voila here I am today and I'm gonna make a review about Aido Classic Lipsticks!

These lippies are just soooo affordable! They retail for only Php50 each! So I went ahead and bought 3 of em. lol

I got shade H, F and K. That's such a creative way of naming lippies! and I'm being sarcastic here in case you can't tell. Why would you even name lippies like that? -_-

Make-up junkies out there all know that Aido Cosmetics offers really cheap makeups and tools. They are also locally available and you can find them in Watsons stores and SM malls. (although not all Watson stores carry this brand)

According to the package, this lipstick is made in Taiwan. The ingredients are also printed out on the packaging and the manufacturing date and batch number are also included which is a good thing since we get to estimate when it will expire.

Yey for affordable make-ups! ヾ(●ω●)ノ

I got shade K and F just because the SA told me they were pretty shades but what really got my attention was shade H and I find myself reaching for this more often.

Here's the swatches:

I already labeled them to avoid confusion :)

On my lips, shade K and F looks so alike that sometimes I get confused which shade I'm wearing. haha but actually, K is a little warmer than F.

Let's look at it's swatches on my lips:

BARE lips

Here's shade F on my lips. It's a wearable bright pink color but I'm not really into bright pinks so I don't use this often.

Now, here's shade K, which is more subdued than shade F but I'm still not fond of it. haha

And now onto my favorite shade! Shade H:

My skin is peeling in case you noticed in the picture! lol. Shade H may not look like much but it's actually a very pretty coral/peachy shade and it's my first time to wear a peachy lippie that didn't made me look sick that's why I really liked it.

So let's sum up my review of this lippies:

Pros:

• Very good pigmentation
• Super affordable for only 50 pesos each!
• locally available
• many shades to choose from
• creamy and moisturizing enough
• no weird scent

Cons:

• plastic packaging does not seem sturdy and it looks cheap :\
• it does not last long at all. lol

Will I buy this again? Ideally, yes I may buy this again since I kinda liked it but I'll look for other shades. However, I have so many lipsticks and I rarely use them so I need to restrain buying things I won't actually use that much. :D

I rate this lippie 3 out of 5!

Till next post reader! xoxo,

Something New

Hey there! wow I am always neglecting my blog nowadays :( I am just soooo busy that I couldn't find the time to blog. Anyway, I've decided to go all white with my theme to make my posts look clean. It's easy on the eyes, no? I changed it because I thought "Deym, my writing style is weird and so noob-like, I need to at least make the background look a bit professional." *laughs* :)

I am basically making this post to serve as a checklist for the reviews I need to write and for the things that I literally need right now.

So what are the reviews that has been pending for months now? A lot! But here are the things that I may possibly write if I had the time:

• Las Ventanas, Tagaytay Review: J and I went to Las Ventanas last October 23 pa! So that review is definitely long overdue now. lols
• Garnier Pure Active Anti-Imperfections Roll-on: my go-to spot treatment whenever my indomitable cystic zits attack.
• Essence Soft & Natural Long Lasting Foundation: one of my favorite foundie ever, it provides great coverage!
• Aido Lipsticks:  They are ridiculously cheap so I bought 3 of them! haha! I had to stop my self from buying all the shades. 
• and I also want to show you my clothing haul from Divisoria, oh man the shopaholic inside me just powers up whenever I go there! Everything is affordable, you just have to exert extra effort to find those with good quality ;)

The list just goes on and I don't have the patience to write them all so yeah, I'm lazy.

Next list is for my skincare:

• Moisturizer: I need a moisturizer for oily and sensitive skin, do you know any? I have fine lines already and I'm just 20y.o! But whenever I try to put on moisturizer, I always wake up with a new pimple on my face. :<
• Toner: I'm always trying different toners but I still haven't found my HG toner yet
• Tea Tree Oil: because I heard they're great for drying up pimples :">
• Bleaching cream: for dark spots and beyond. wooohoo!

Well, that's basically everything I need to buy for my skincare. It's the time of the month again when we girls can't help but wish that we're a boy. Oh God, these mentrual cramps are killing me and to make matters worse, my skin has been acting up lately and my indomitable pigsa-like pimples are spontaneously popping up all over my face, boohoo :<

And lastly, I thought of doing something new with my blog. Me and J are gonna... *drum-roll* ...write about our adventures! (a.k.a. 'dates'). Well yeah, I know some of you may think "blah! we don't care about that" but meh, I'll still write about our dates anyway. *evil laughs*. Please don't judge yet, it won't be about the cheesy and vomit-inducing corny stuff we do noh! You see, J and I loves to eat! And we also go to movies a lot and try out new things so basically, we'll be writing about food, entertainment and travel experiences and then I'll label them "Date Day #__" hihi :3

So that'll be all, btw, do any of you know how to make a freakin header??? Look at my pixelated header! I've been trying for hours to make a decent one but still no success. :'( Please teach meeeeee!

Till next post reader, thanks for reading!
