Sophie Paris Lipstick in Ice Pink

This one's totally not mine, haha, but for the sake of blogging, hell yeah! Today's review is a pink lippy that's from Sophie Paris. Take a look.

The packaging actually feels pretty nice, not flimsy nor feels like literally made of plastic. 

The shade is Ice Pink which is a bright pink color that totally reminds me of Barbie.

 L-R: swatched once, twice, thrice in natural light

 under bright sunlight

after constant rubbing under running water

Pros:

• nicely pigmented
• super affordable! This one's P79.00 or not more than $2
• decent staying power (can last 3-4hours without eating or drinking)

Cons:

• has the tendency to dry up your lips (depending on your lip condition). lip moisturizer/balm is a must!
• not widely available, but you can get this online or at the main branch of Sophie in Mandaluyong, and in Sophie resellers. Got this in Sophie's booth at Farmers, Cubao

Rating: 3.5/5

Review: Sophie Magic Pink Cream

Alas! I finally got my most coveted cheap yet gorge magic cream blush from Sophie Martin. I just bumped into one of its stores in Farmers Cubao while doing some bargain hunting, and as impulsive as I usually am, i bought it, with one of the ladies there saying "Maganda yan, tumatagal sya. Yung mga officemates ko nga kung umorder saken tatlo-tatlo." (That's pretty, and long lasting as well. My officemates tend to buy 3 pieces from me.) So I was sold.

It's really a tiny tube but trust me, its pigmentation is just so surprising! 

A white cream that turns into a hint of pink when swatched on the skin

 I also love how the expiration date is clearly stamped on the tube.

 Swatches. Look how it turned into a subtle hint of pink.

 I left the left line unblended for a few minutes, and when I tried to blend it, this is how it turned out.

And with all the washing and soaping, there's still a slight hint of color, as you can see.

So with all the swatches and test, who am I to say that this inexpensive cream blush is just nothing but a cheap product? Come on, this is a hella great cream blush that I'm still digging up to now. And for the record, this baby lasts all day. Seriously, I don't need to retouch nor bother if it has done mess to my cheeks. With all the dirt, smoke, oil, and sweat that I face everyday, this really withstands the test of those bastards. So, are you also sold? :P

Pros:

• cheap! Got this for Php85.00, but i think this costs Php70.00 for Sophie members. Not quite sure though.
• amazingly long lasting!
• gives a natural rosy glow onto the skin
• nicely pigmented and buildable
• simple yet cute packaging, w/c also comes with a box
• smells really girly

Cons:

• small. This is only 10ml (but for the price, better not to complain :D)
• Easily stains on the skin. has to be fast when applying
• Has parabens
• Not widely available. But you can buy this online, at Sophie Paris main branch in Mandaluyong, and from the other resellers on booth. Mine was from Sophie booth in Farmers Cubao
