COVO Matte Magic Lipstick

During the recent year end sale I have decide to try out some of COVO's  Matte Magic Lipstick as they were having a promotion of 50% off for the lipsticks. COVO is a relatively new local brand here in Malaysia and is quickly becoming one of my favourites because of the great quality andwide range of selection of products at an affordable price just like their brand message"Luxe for Less". So the 2 color i chose was Icy Coral and Warm Toffee. What I love about these lippies is not only they have great formula but also they have sleek packaging which includes as small mirror in the lipstick tube!

Texture and Consistency: These lipsticks were creamy and not too drying on the lips when applied it had a matte finish which is my favourite

Staying Power: They lasted for about 4-5 hours during the day. I wore it during the whole day of college which includes eating and drinking and it does require to touch up only 1 time during the full 8hrs period.

Fragrance : These lipsticks has a vanilla scent to it similar to the MAC lippies

Price : RM45.00
Availability: COVO counters at Sunway Pyramid, AEON Bukit Tinggi, One Utama, 101 Mall, NU Sentral, Berjaya Times Square & more

The following are the pictures  of the 2 lipsticks:

1)ICY CORAL - is described as a fun pinky coral color which will definitely brighten your appearance

2)WARM TOFFEE- is described as a warm brick red shade with a hint of orange

Review: IN2IT Colour Stix Lip Color

First Review of 2015!
I went to Watsons at Sunway Pyramid with one purpose in mind which is to get 1 lipliner from Essence and thats it...but not surprising as a makeup addict as I'm, I end up buying 6 lip products...lol. While browsing through the makeup aisle I stumbled across the newly launched product called Colour Stix Lip Color  by IN2IT . I'm not an avid  buyer of IN2IT brand frankly I have only used their liquid liner before. These product caught my eye immediately as it look similar to the Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stain( which i LOVE) and the price was amazing at only RM 10.90 ( currently having promotion original price is RM12.90). There are 5 shades total, a nude, bright orange, hot pink, mauvey-plum, and a rose-mauve color (I'm sorry I do not remember their exact names) I bought matte plum and matte pink as i was attracted to them the most.

These new product is described as being "velvety soft, long lasting and luminous matte finish" .  When I first swatch it I knew immediately that it was going to come home with me... This is because they were highly pigmented and super creamy plus they have a matte finish ( which is my favourite type of lip product). This products is somewhat like if NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream and Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stain has a baby...haha because they are very creamy and pigmented and dries to a matte finish; and they are easy to apply as they are in a crayon form just like the Revlon ones. I already know that I will be definitely use these products in my daily life as I 'm completely amazed by the quality and the prices of them!

Texture and consistency: Once applied on the lips the texture of these products are quite lightweight and smooth, the finish is not 100% matte so its good because if you have dry and crack lip it will not be so visible.

Staying Power: The lasting power of these was about 4-5 hours which is relatively good, but I think that the brighter colors will have a longer staying power.

Fragrance and flavour: These lipsticks did not have any scent at all which is a bonus!
Here below are pictures of the 2 lip color that I purchased:
1) Matte Plum- This color appears to be a mauvey-plum color which can be a dupe for the "Kylie Jenner Lip Color Trend"

2) Matte Rose- This color is described as a dusty rose cool-toned, muted, medium-dark pink and It's also like those   My Lips But Better (MLBB) kind also color. It will be perfect for everyday wear.

 Here are the swatches on m wrist (Left : Matte Plum, Right : Matte Rose)

Price: RM12.90 (currently got promotion RM10.90 till January 26, 2015)
Availabilty: Exclusive to Watsons only
