Review: Bench Paintbox's soft shine lipstick

One of the things I love the most are the lipsticks! I'm always excited to buy new ones and try on new shades. So I was quite eager to find out the my lipstick from Avon's almost gone. I went to the mall to actually buy a lipstick from Wet n Wild but their stall's gone..idk where to find to it so I went to my second choice which was Paintbox.

This is my second time to use Bench's makeup line, the first one was the blusher and it turns out to be fine and I'm still using it :)

I'm a big fan of pink lippies so I bought this Juicy Pink shade. I was about to buy the other one but sadly, they ran out of stocks :( No regrets in this shade, though.

The back of the box. Err, I forgot to check the date of manufacturing, I should have bought the fresher product.

 I really, really love the shade. It matches my nail polish, Glaze Flare from Chic. It suits me well :)

Sorry for the LQ swatch hihi.

My overall verdict: 4.5/5

It dries out the lips, sometimes create patches and not that long lasting.

Review: Essence's multi action mascara

Since my latest mascara (Maybelline's Rocket) was lost due to my carelessness, I bought another one. Since I've been hearing a lot of good reviews about Essence cosmetics so I went directly to their stall located in the Department store. I found this multi action mascara.

Mascara for extremely black lashes -- with carbon black. Gives extra volume, length and curl! Ophtalmologically approved.

I bought this for only P189. Affordable for a multi action mascara :) I love how it's easy to handle. It gives justice to what it claims to be. The only thing that I didn't like about this mascara is that it smudges easily (due to the temperature here in the Philippines, I think) which makes me look like a Panda after hours of applying. But it is good overall.

My verdict: 4/5
Will I repurchase? I don't think so but I think I'll try their other mascaras.
