SPEND VS. SAVE: NUDE PINK LIPSTICKS

For this edition of spend vs. save, let's take a look at NUDE PINK LIPSTICKS.

I have two nude pink lipsticks in my stash:

BOBBI BROWN CREAMY LIP COLOR IN RETRO PINK 1350PHP

NYX ROUND LIPSTICK IN TEA ROSE- 100PHP

Nude Pink lips give off a fresh, fun and feminine vibe to every make- up look. It could go on from day to night and will compliment every look from casual to formal. Pink hues naturally bring out the youthful glow in one's face and the color keeps you looking young.

BOBBI BROWN CREAMY LIPSTICK IN RETRO PINK

- This has got to be one of my most favorite lip colors. When applied lightly, this gives a slight pink tinge that looks natural and when you build the color, it gives off a milky pink finish that doesn't look unnatural at all. It doesn't make your teeth look garish and it smells like candy too.

What I love about the creamy lipsticks of Bobbi Brown is the Shea Butter in it that keeps lips supple and moisturized all throughout the day. It has a semi- thick consistency that makes it last long on the lips. It also gives off a subtle shine for juicy looking puckers.

For those who are not fans of semi- thick formulations, you might not like this but one thing that will serve as your refuge in purchasing this is the high- impact moisture that it will impart on your lips so say goodbye to chapped lips

NYX ROUND LIPSTICK IN TEA ROSE

- This has created raves in many beauty forums, blogs and traincases as well. It's one of the cheapest yet best make- up bets in the cosmetics industry. The round lipstick costs at around $1 and it delivers good results. The lipsticks have good pigment pay- off and Nyx has quite an impressive color line- up. It has a grandma- like scent but it's not disturbing. It has a lovely satin finish and texture so application is always easy.

The only cons that I hate about this product are: 

It's doesn't last long enough on your lips. If you're game on applying it every single hour, then this is good enough for you. Another suggestion, just make sure you don't use your lips that often so the color will stay longer. 

Secondly, it's unavailable locally. If you're gonna order abroad, you have to seize the shipping fee price by buying other stuff. It sucks in a way because you will be forced to shell out more money when you're only up to buying just one.

In terms of color pay- off, both are excellent, but with the staying power, Bobbi Brown is the winner. Bobbi Brown is locally available. And for 1350php, it's not bad because Bobbi Brown always has great quality. On the other hand, Nyx might have resellers in the Philippines but just be ready because some resellers exorbitantly price their Nyx products. One good thing is to organize a pool of orders so all can order just 1 or 100 pieces and everyone can save from the shipping. 

SO FOR THIS EDITION, I SUGGEST YOU:
